CPO (Pin 12): Charge Pump. CPO is the output of the
charge pump. When the smart card requires power, the
charge pump will charge CPO to either 3.7V or 5.35V
depending on what smart card voltage is required. A low
impedance 1µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required
on CPO.
V
CC
(Pin 13): Card Socket. The V
CC
pin should be con-
nected to the V
CC
pin of the smart card socket. The
activation of the V
CC
pin is controlled by the serial port (see
Tables 1 and 2) and can be set to 0V, 1.8V, 3V or 5V.
CLK (Pin 14): Card Socket. The CLK pin should be con-
nected to the CLK pin of the smart card socket. The CLK
signal can be derived from either the SYNC input or the
ASYNC input depending on which type of card is being
accessed. The card type is selected via the serial port (see
Tables 1 and␣ 3). In bidirectional mode, the CLK pin be-
comes an input/output with the microcontroller side
SYNC pin.
RST (Pin 15): Card Socket. This pin should be connected
to the RST pin of the smart card socket. The RST signal is
derived from the R
IN
pin. When the card is selected, its
RST pin follows R
IN
. When the card is deselected, the RST
pin holds the current value on R
IN
.
I/O (Pin 16): Card Socket. The I/O pin connects to the I/O
pin of the smart card socket. When the smart card is
selected, its I/O pin connects to the DATA pin. When the
smart card is deselected, its I/O pin returns to the idle
state (H).
C4, C8 (Pins 17, 18): Card Socket. These pins connect to
the C4 and C8 pins of synchronous memory cards on the
smart card socket. The signal for these pins is unidirec-
tional and can only be sent to the card. Data for C4 and C8
is transmitted via the DATA pin and may be selected in
place of I/O via the serial port (see Table 4). When either
C4 or C8 is selected, it will follow the DATA pin. When it is
deselected, it will remain latched at its current state.
PRES (Pin 19): Card Socket. The PRES pin is used to
detect the presence of a smart card. It should be connected
to a normally open detection switch on the smart card
acceptor’s socket. This pin has a pull-up current source
on-chip so no external components are required.

DV
CC
(Pin 1): Power. Reference voltage for the control
logic.
DATA (Pin 2): Input/Output. Microcontroller side data I/O
pin. The DATA pin provides the bidirectional communica-
tion path to the smart card. The card may be selected to
communicate via the DATA pin. If several LTC4556s are
connected in parallel, the DATA pin can be made high
impedance by selecting neither card socket. The C4 and C8
synchronous card pins can be selected to connect to the
DATA pin via the serial port (see Table 4).
R
IN
(Pin 3): Input. The R
IN
pin supplies the RST signal to
the smart card. It is level shifted and transmitted directly
to the RST pin of a selected card. When the card is
deselected, the RST pin is latched at its current state.
SYNC (Pin 4): Input-Input/Output. The SYNC pin provides
the clock input for synchronous smart cards. When a
synchronous card is selected, its CLK pin follows SYNC
directly. When a synchronous card is deselected, the CLK
pin is latched at its current state. In bidirectional mode, the
SYNC pin becomes an input/output with the smart card
CLK pin.
ASYNC (Pin 5): Input. The ASYNC pin provides the clock
input for asynchronous cards and should be connected to
a free running clock. The clock signal to the smart card can
be a ÷1, ÷2, ÷4 or ÷8 version of the signal on ASYNC.
Asynchronous cards can also be placed in clock stop
mode with the clock stopped either high or low.
FAULT (Pin 6): Output. The FAULT pin can be used as an
interrupt to a microcontroller to indicate when a fault has
occurred. It is an open drain output, which is logically
equivalent to D4 . (See Table 1)
NC (Pin 7): No Connection to chip. May be grounded.
GND (Pin 8): Ground. Power ground for the chip. This pin
should be connected directly to a low impedance ground
plane.
