Card Status/Control Register (CRDCtl): 0xFE05 Å 0x00 
This register is used to configure the card detect pin (DETCARD) and monitor card detect status. This 
register be written to properly configure Debounce, Detect_Polarity (= 0 or = 1), and the pull-up/down 
enable before setting CDETEN. The card detect logic is functional even without smart card logic clock. 
When the PWRDN bit is set = 1, no debounce is provided but card presence is operable.

Bit Symbol  Function 
CRDCtl.7 DEBOUN 
Debounce – When set = 1, this will enable hardware de-bounce 
of the card detect pin. The de-bounce function shall wait for 
64ms of stable card detect assertion before setting the CARDIN 
bit. This counter/timer uses the keypad clock as a source of 
1kHz signal. De-assertion of the CARDIN bit is immediate upon 
de-assertion of the card detect pin(s). 
CRDCtl.6 CDETEN 
Card Detect Enable – When set = 1, activates card detection 
input. Default upon power-on reset is 0. 
CRDCtl.5 –  
CRDCtl.4 –  
CRDCtl.3 DETPOL 
Detect Polarity – When set = 1, the DETCARD pin shall interpret 
a logic 1 as card present. 
CRDCtl.2  PUENB  Enable pull-up current on DETCARD pin (active low). 
CRDCtl.1 PDEN Enable pull-down current on DETCARD pin. 
CRDCtl.0 CARDIN 
Card Inserted – (Read only). 1 = card inserted, 0 = card not 
inserted. A change in the value of this bit is a “card event.” A 
read of this bit indicates whether smart card is inserted or not 
inserted in conjunction with the DETPOL setting.
