Smart Cards are increasingly being used for Payments, Home-Banking, Access Control,
Internet Security, PKItokens, Health Care, Loyalty, etc.
The CardMan Smart@Link chip set is a ready to use precertified smart card reader inter-
face, that can be implemented into USB hosts. It facilitates hardware integrators by
reducing time-to-market and offers a unique opportunity to quickly and easily include
smart card reader functionality in systems like PCs, Notebooks, Keyboards, Smart Card
based Dongles, Monitors, Mice, PDAs, Thin Clients, Biometric devices etc. The already
existing certifications and compliances guarantee a fast and easy certification process.
With its high performance Smart Card Interface CardMan Smart@Link supports smart-
card technology of the future.
The integration in any USB system can be easily done without any firmware or software
(driver) development, simply by embedding the CardMan Smart@Link design and
chipset into the target system. The USB CCID support makes this process the easiest
ever by connecting host and Smart Card Reader systems without the need of additional
drivers.
CardMan Smart@Link combines Atmel’s AT83C5123 microcontroller and Omnikey
firmware.
