13. Protocol Selection
The AT88SC0104CA supports two different communication protocols.
Smartcard Applications:
Smartcard applications use ISO 7816-B protocol in asynchronous T = 0 mode for compatibility and
interoperability with industry standard smartcard readers.
Embedded Applications:
A 2-wire serial interface provides fast and efficient connectivity with other logic devices or microcontrollers.
The power-up sequence determines establishes the communication protocol for use within that power cycle. Protocol
selection is allowed only during power-up.
13.2.
Synchronous 2-Wire Serial Interface
The synchronous mode is the default mode after power up. This is due to the presence of an internal pull-up on RST.
For embedded applications using CryptoMemory in standard plastic packages, this is the only available communication
protocol.
Power-up VCC, RST goes high also.
After stable VCC, SCL(CLK) and SDA(I/O) may be driven.
Once synchronous mode has been selected, it is not possible to switch to asynchronous mode without first
powering off the device
