Description
Smart Cards are increasingly being used for Payments, Home-Banking, Access Control,
Internet Security, PKI-tokens, Healthcare, Loyalty, etc.
The CardMan Smart@Key chip set is a ready to use precertified smart card reader inter-
face to be implemented into keyboards. Being a one-chip solution containing firmware
functionality for both smartcard and keyboard support, it facilitates the hardware integra-
tors in reducing time-to-market and offers a unique opportunity to quickly and easily
implement smart card reader functionality into their systems. The already existing certifi-
cations and compliances guarantee a fast and easy certification process.
With its high performance Smart Card Interface CardMan Smart@Key supports Smart
Card technology of the future.
The integration in any USB keyboard can be easily done without any firmware or soft-
ware (driver) development, simply by embedding the CardMan Smart@Key design and
chipset into the target system. The USB CCID support makes this process the easiest
ever by connecting host and Smart Card Reader systems without the need of additional
vendor specific drivers.
Keyboard Matrix and USB descriptors can be easily adapted to the customer’s requests.
CardMan Smart@Key is based on Atmel’s AT83C5122 microcontroller. The above fea-
tures make the CardMan® Smart@Key the perfect answer to the increasing demands of
many applications.
