SUNNYVALE, CA—March 17, 2008—Maxim Integrated Products (Pink Sheets: MXIM) introduces the DS8113 low-power, low-cost, smart-card interface. This device performs level translation between a host microcontroller and a 5V, 3V, or 1.8V smart card, while supplying up to 80mA for smart-card operation. The DS8113 features the industry's lowest power stop mode, which allows applications to support smart-card communication and draw only 10nA while the card is inactive. Additionally, it provides ±8kV ESD protection, thus protecting applications from damage during card insertion and removal. Designed to meet all ISO 7816, EMV™, and GSM 11.11 specifications, this robust smart-card interface is ideal for financial terminals, set-top boxes, and other smart-card reader applications.
The DS8113 is a replacement upgrade for devices with higher power consumption and no stop mode, such as the TDA8024 and the ST8024. This smart-card interface allows designers to improve the performance of their applications with few or no changes to the existing hardware, and relatively minor software modifications. Available in a lead-free, 28-pin SO package, the DS8113 operates over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Prices start at $0.88 (1000-up, FOB USA). An evaluation kit is in development; contact the factory for availability.
Maxim Integrated Products, a two billion dollar company, designs and manufactures ICs for analog and mixed-signal applications. The company's broad portfolio of 28 product categories is among the industry's deepest, with over 5400 products.
