NVT4555 evaluation board OM13480
1. Introduction
The NVT4555UK evaluation board (OM13480) is built for interfacing a SIM card socket to
a single-voltage host-side interface. The NVT4555 contains one voltage select pin (CTRL)
to select either 1.8 V or 2.95 V for SIM card power supply, and one active HIGH enable
pin (EN) to enable normal operation. The data, clock and reset paths can operate beyond
5 MHz. The I/O channel is bidirectional, while the reset and clock are unidirectional. The
NVT4555 is compliant with all ETSI, IMT-2000 and ISO-7816 SIM/Smart card interface
requirements.
Refer to NVT4555 data sheet (Ref.
1)
for more detailed information.
