The TSB2598 chip provides a solution for adding smart card support to a wide variety of OEM products.

IC solutions are easy to implement since all the electrical specifications and low level protocols addressed in the ISO-7816 and EMV level 1 standards are built into the devices.

OEMs can now get their smart card-enabled products to market quickly and focus the design effort on the high level S/W applications and drivers specific to the product.

The TSB2598 is controlled by a host processor through a standard serial UART or SPI interface. It takes care of all the actions required by the ISO-7816 and EMV level 1 standards at the card interface and manages the communications to the smart card.
