General description

The NVT4558 device is built for interfacing a SIM card with a single low-voltage

1.08 V to 1.98 V host side interface. The NVT4558 contains three 1.62 V to 3.6 V level

translators to convert the data, RSTn and CLKn signals between a SIM card and a host

microcontroller.

The NVT4558 has been optimized for operation with mobile phone processors that

support 1.2 V I/O and 1.8 V I/O.

The NVT4558 is compliant with all ISO-7816 SIM/Smart card interface requirements and

is compliant with JEDEC JESD76-2 requirements for CMOS 1.2 V logic devices.

Features and benefits

? Supports clock speed up to 10 MHz clock

? Compliant with all ISO-7816 SIM/Smart card interface requirements

? Support SIM card supply voltages with range of 1.62 V to 3.6 V

? Host microcontroller operating voltage range: 1.08 V to 1.98 V

? Automatic level translation of I/O, RSTn and CLKn between SIM card and host side

interface with capacitance isolation

? Incorporates shutdown feature for the SIM card signals according to ISO-7816-3

? Enable and disable through hardware enable pin or with automatic enable and disable

feature

? Integrated pull-up and pull-down resistors

? Integrated EMI filters suppress higher harmonics of digital I/Os

? Integrated 8 kV ESD protection according to IEC 61000-4-2, level 4 on VCCB or any of

the card side pins

? Level shifting buffers keep ESD stress away from the host (zero-clamping concept)

? Pb-free, Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant and free of halogen

and antimony (Dark Green compliant)

? Available in 10-pin XQFN10 package with 0.4 mm pitch

Applications

? NVT4558 can be used with a range of SIM card attached devices including:

– Mobile and personal phones

– Wireless modems

– SIM card terminals
