The DS8113 is a low-cost, smart-card interface designed to meet all ISO 7816, EMV™, and GSM 11.11 specifications, is designed to interface between a system microcontroller and the smart card interface, providing all power supply, ESD protection, and level shifting required for IC card applications.

This device provides ±8kV ESD protection and significant power savings, compared to similar devices available on the market, allowing designers to easily improve the performance of their smart-card applications with few or no changes to their existing hardware and software designs. The DS8113 features the industry’s lowest stop-mode current, significantly reducing the amount of current consumed by the application. The DS8113 is ideal for use in financial terminals, set-top boxes, and other smart-card reader applications. An EMV Level 1 certified library (written for the MAXQ2000 microcontroller) and hardware reference design is available. Contact Maxim technical support regarding requirements for other microcontroller platforms. An evaluation kit, DS8113-KIT, is available to aid in prototyping and evaluation. DS8113 is Available in a lead-free, 28-pin SO package, contact the factory for availability of other package options.
