Description
The ST8034xx interface devices are placed between the smartcard and the microcontroller to provide all supply, protection, detection and control functions, with a minimum of external components. The STEVAL-IPT004V1 demonstration board allows designers to easily test all of these features, or it can be used as a functional block of a complete application as it is designed both for standalone operation or to be fully controlled by the microcontroller. The board is fully configurable to maintain flexibility for various use scenarios. It includes standard interfaces on both sides (smartcard connector, MCU interface connector) and labeled test points on all the signals to make them easily accessible. The STEVAL-IPT004V1 demonstration board addresses market segments such as POS, settop box, pay TV, identification, banking and tachograph.
