DATA SHEET
I2C-bus Write to Control Register:
I2C-bus Write command to the control register follows the format shown below. After the START condition, a slave
address is sent by the master. This address is seven bits long followed by an eighth bit which is an opcode bit
(R/W) – a ‘zero’ indicates the master will write data to the control register. After the R/W bit, the ’zero’ ACK bit is
sent to the master by the device. The master now starts sending the 8 bits of data to the control register during
the DATA bits. After the DATA bits, the ‘zero’ ACK bit is sent to the master by the device. The master should send
the STOP condition after receiving this ACK bit.

Name
Bit Description
Set when the card is present (pin PRES is high); reset when the card is
not present.
PRES
0
Set when the PRES pin changes state (rising/falling edge); reset when
the status register is read. Generates an interrupt when set.

3
Set when I/O is high; reset when I/O is low.
Set when a voltage fault is detected; reset when the status register is
read. Generates an interrupt when set
SUPL
Set when an over-current or over-heating fault has occurred during a
card session; reset when the status register is read. Generates an
interrupt when set
PROT
MUTE

5
Set during ATR when the card has not answered during the ISO 7816-3
time window (40000 card clock cycles); reset when the next session
begins.
Set during ATR when the card has answered before 400 card clock
cycles; reset when the next session begin.

ACTIVE
Set when the card is active (VCC is on); reset when the card is inactive.
