15.7  Operation in Smart Card Interface Mode 
The SCI supports an IC card (Smart Card) interface conforming to ISO/IEC 7816-3 (Identification 
Card) as a serial communication interface extension function. Switching between the normal serial 
communication interface and the Smart Card interface is carried out by means of a register setting. 
15.7.1  Pin Connection Example 
Figure 15.21 shows an example of connection with the Smart Card. In communication with an IC 
card, since both transmission and reception are carried out on a single data transmission line, the 
TxD pin and RxD pin should be connected with the LSI pin. The data transmission line should be 
pulled up to the V
CC
 power supply with a resistor. If an IC card is not connected, and the TE and 
RE bits are both set to 1, closed transmission/reception is possible, enabling self-diagnosis to be 
carried out. When the clock generated on the SCI is used by an IC card, the SCK pin output is 
input to the CLK pin of the IC card. This LSI port output is used as the reset signal.
