STEVAL-IPT004V1

24-pin smartcard interface demonstration board

based on the ST8034HN

Data brief

Features

 Connector for smartcard testing

 Labeled test points for access to all signals

 Board design allows standalone operation for

basic testing

 Interfacing to the MCU block and simple board

configurability allows full function in (for

example) a set-top box application

 On-board 10 MHz crystal clock oscillator can

be used to provide card clock in standalone

operation

 Card clock source selection switch allows

selection between the on-board crystal

oscillator as card clock source, or external

clock source provided by the MCU block

through the MCU interface together with the

data signals

 Provides easy, flexible card supply voltage

selection by on-board configuration switches,

or remotely through the microcontroller

 RoHS compliant

Description

The ST8034xx interface devices are placed

between the smartcard and the microcontroller to

provide all supply, protection, detection and

control functions, with a minimum of external

components. The STEVAL-IPT004V1

demonstration board allows designers to easily

test all of these features, or it can be used as a

functional block of a complete application as it is

designed both for standalone operation or to be

fully controlled by the microcontroller. The board

is fully configurable to maintain flexibility for

various use scenarios. It includes standard

interfaces on both sides (smartcard connector,

MCU interface connector) and labeled test points

on all the signals to make them easily accessible.

The STEVAL-IPT004V1 demonstration board

addresses market segments such as POS, set-

top box, pay TV, identification, banking and

tachograph.
