1 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.

2 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

3 Applications
