Smart Card V
CC
 Control/Status Register (VccCtl): 0xFE03 Å 0x00 
This register is used to control the power up and power down of the integrated smart card interface. It is 
used to determine whether to apply 5V, 3V, or 1.8V to the smart card. Perform the voltage selection with 
one write operation, setting both VCCSEL.1 and VCCSEL.0 bits simultaneously. The VDDFLT bit (if 
enabled) will provide an emergency deactivation of the internal smart card slot. See the VDD Fault 
Detect Function section for more detail.

Bit Symbol  Function 
VccCtl.7 VCCSEL.1 
Setting non-zero value for bits 7,6 will begin activation sequence with target 
Vcc as given below: 
State VCCSEL.1 VCCSEL.0 VCC 
1 0  0  0V 
2 0  1  1.8V 
3 1  0  3.0V 
4 1  1  5V 
A card event or VCCOK going low will initiate a deactivation sequence. 
When the deactivation sequence for RST, CLK and I/O is complete, V
CC
 will 
be turned off. When this type of deactivation occurs, the bits must be reset 
before initiating another activation. 
VccCtl.6 VCCSEL.0 
VccCtl.5 VDDFLT 
If this bit is set = 0, the CMDVCC3B and CMDVCC5B outputs are 
immediately set = 1 to signal to the companion circuit to begin deactivation 
when there is a VDD Fault event. If this bit is set = 1 and there is a VDD 
Fault, the firmware should perform a deactivation sequence and then set 
CMDVCC3B or CMDVCC5B = 1 to signal the companion circuit to set 
VCC = 0. 
VccCtl.4 RDYST 
If this bit is set = 1, the activation sequence will start when bit VCCOK is 
set = 1. If not set, the deactivation sequence shall start when the VCCTMR 
times out. 
VccCtl.3  VCCOK  (Read only). Indicates that V
CC
 output voltage is stable. 
VccCtl.2 –  
VccCtl.1 –  
VccCtl.0 SCPWRDN 
This bit controls the power down mode of the 73S1215F circuit. 
1 = power down, 0 = normal operation.
