1.7.13 Smart Card Interface Function
The 73S1209F integrates one ISO-7816 (T=0, T=1) UART, one complete ICC electrical interface as well as an
external smart card interface to allow multiple smart cards to be connected using the Teridian 8010 family of interface
devices. Figure 13 shows the simplified block diagram of the card circuitry (UART + interfaces), with detail of
dedicated XRAM registers.

Figure 13: Smart Card Interface Block Diagram
Card interrupts are managed through two dedicated registers SCIE (Interrupt Enable to define which
interrupt is enabled) and SCInt (Interrupt status). They allow the firmware to determine the source of an
interrupt, that can be a card insertion / removal, card power fault, or a transmission (TX) or reception (RX)
event / fault. It should be noted that even when card clock is disabled, an ICC interrupt can be generated
