The 73S8014BL is an ultra-low pin count, single smart card interface circuit (ICC) optimized for set-top box/A/V conditional access applications. It is an attractive BOM reduction path from comparable 8024-type devices when only needing support for asynchronous cards and not needing support for C4 and C8. While maintaining firmware and host interface compatibility, the 73S8014BL adds functionality like power-down mode while creating a device with a smaller pin count and fewer external components. Applications * General-Purpose Smart Card Readers * Pay-per-View * Set-Top Box Conditional Access Applications * Complies with ISO 7816-3 and EMV 4.2 * Supports 5V, 3V, and 1.8V Cards * ISO 7816-3 Activation/Deactivation Sequencer and Automated Hardware Fault Deactivation * True Overcurrent Detection Up to 145mA * 1µA Power-Down Mode * ±6kV ESD Protection on Card Interface * Small-Format 14-Pin SO Package
