1.0. Introduction
The ACR38x (CCID) PC-linked Smart Card Reader acts as an interface for the communication between a computer and a smart card. Different types of smart cards have different commands and different communication protocols, which, in most cases, prevent direct communication between a smart card and a computer. The ACR38x (CCID) Smart Card Reader establishes a uniform interface from the computer to the smart card for a wide variety of cards. By taking care of the card's particulars, it releases the computer software programmer from being responsible with smart card operations' technical details, which in many cases, are not relevant to the implementation of a smart card system.

3.0. Smart Card Support
3.1. MCU Cards
The ACR38x (CCID) is a PC/SC compliant smart card reader that supports ISO 7816 Class A, B and C (5 V, 3 V, and 1.8 V) smart cards. It also works with MCU cards following either the T=0 and T=1 protocol.
The card ATR indicates the specific operation mode (TA2 present; bit b5 of TA2 must be 0) and when that particular mode is not supported by the ACR38x (CCID), the reader will reset the card to a negotiable mode. If the card cannot be set to negotiable mode, the reader will then reject the card.
When the card ATR indicates the negotiable mode (TA2 not present) and communication parameters other than the default parameters, the ACR38x (CCID) will execute the PPS and try to use the communication parameters that the card suggested in its ATR. If the card does not accept the PPS, the reader will use the default parameters (F=372, D=1).
Note: For the meaning of the aforementioned parameters, please refer to ISO 7816-3.
3.2. Memory-based Smart Cards
The ACR38x (CCID) works with several memory-based smart cards, such as:
- Cards following the I2C bus protocol (free memory cards) with maximum 128 bytes page with capability, including:
○ Atmel®: AT24C01/02/04/08/16/32/64/128/256/512/1024
- SGS-Thomson: ST14C02C, ST14C04C
- Gemplus: GFM1K, GFM2K, GFM4K, GFM8K
- Cards with secure memory IC with password and authentication, including:
- Atmel®: AT88SC153 and AT88SC1608
- Cards with intelligent 1 KB EEPROM with write-protect function, including:
- Infineon®: SLE4418, SLE4428, SLE5518 and SLE5528
- Cards with intelligent 256 bytes EEPROM with write-protect function, including:
- Infineon®: SLE4432, SLE4442, SLE5532 and SLE5542
- Cards with '104' type EEPROM non-reloadable token counter cards, including:
- Infineon®: SLE4406, SLE4436, SLE5536 and SLE6636
- Cards with Intelligent 416-bit EEPROM with internal PIN check, including:
- Infineon®: SLE4404
- Cards with Security Logic with Application Zone(s), including:
- Atmel®: AT88SC101, AT88SC102 and AT88SC1003
4.0. Smart Card Interface
The interface between the ACR38x (CCID) and the inserted smart card follows the specification of ISO 7816-3 with certain restrictions or enhancements to increase the practical functionality of ACR38x (CCID).
4.1. Smart Card Power Supply VCC (C1)
The current consumption of the inserted card must not be higher than 50 mA.
4.2. Programming Voltage VPP (C6)
According to ISO 7816-3, the smart card contact C6 (VPP) supplies the programming voltage to the smart card. Since all common smart cards in the market are EEPROM-based and do not require the provision of an external programming voltage, the contact C6 (VPP) has been implemented as a normal control signal in the ACR38x (CCID). The electrical specifications of this contact are identical to those of the signal RST (at contact C2).
4.3. Card Type Selection
The controlling personal computer must always select the card type through the proper command sent to the ACR38x (CCID) prior to activating the inserted card. This includes both the memory cards and MCU-based cards.
For MCU-based cards, the reader is allowed to select the preferred protocol, T=0 or T=1. However, this selection is only accepted and carried out by the reader through the PPS when the card inserted in the reader supports both protocol types. Whenever an MCU-based card supports only one protocol type, T=0 or T=1, the reader automatically uses that protocol type, regardless of the protocol type selected by the application.
4.4. Interface for Microcontroller-based Cards
For microcontroller-based smart cards, only the contacts C1 (VCC), C2 (RST), C3 (CLK), C5 (GND) and C7 (I/O) are used. A frequency of 4 MHz is applied to the CLK signal (C3).
4.5. Card Tearing Protection
The ACR38x (CCID) provides a mechanism to protect the inserted card when it is suddenly withdrawn while it is powered up. The power supply to the card and the signal lines between the ACR38x (CCID) and the card is immediately deactivated when the card is being removed. However, as a rule to avoid any electrical damage, a card should only be removed from the reader while it is powered down.
Note: The ACR38x (CCID) never switches on the power supply to the inserted card by itself. The controlling computer through the proper command sent to the reader must explicitly do this.
5.0. Power Supply
The ACR38x (CCID) requires a voltage of 5 V DC, 100 mA, regulated, power supply. The ACR38x (CCID) gets power supply from the computer (through the cable supplied along with each type of reader).
5.1. Status LED
The LED indicates the activation status of the smart card interface:
• Flashing slowly (turns on 200 ms every 2 seconds): Indicates ACR38x (CCID) is powered up and in the standby state. Either the smart card has not been inserted or the smart card has not been powered up (if it is inserted). • Lighting up: Indicates power supply to the smart card is switched on (i.e., the smart card is activated). • Flashing quickly: Indicates there are communications between ACR38x (CCID) and smart card.
6.0. USB Interface
6.1. Communication Parameters
The ACR38x (CCID) is connected to a computer through USB as specified in the USB Specification 2.0. The ACR38x (CCID) is working in full speed mode (e.g., 12 Mbps).
| Pin Signal Function | |
| 1 VBUS +5 V power supply for the reader | |
| 2 D- Differential signal transmits data between ACR38x (CCID) and PC | |
| 3 D+ Differential signal transmits data between ACR38x (CCID) and PC | |
| 4 GND Reference voltage level for power supply |
Table 2: USB Interface Wiring Note: In order for the ACR38x (CCID) to function properly through USB interface, either ACS CCID driver or the Microsoft CCID driver has to be installed.
6.2. Endpoints
The ACR38x (CCID) uses the following endpoints to communicate with the host computer:
| Control Endpoint | For setup and control purpose |
| Bulk OUT | For command to be sent from host to ACR38x (CCID)(data packet size is 64 bytes) |
| Bulk IN | For response to be sent from ACR38x (CCID) to host(data packet size is 64 bytes) |
| Interrupt IN | For card status message to be sent from ACR38x (CCID) to host(data packet size is 8 bytes) |
7.0. Communication Protocol
ACR38x (CCID) shall interface with the host through the USB connection. A specification, namely CCID, has been released within the industry defining such a protocol for the USB chip-card interface devices. CCID covers all the protocols required for operating smart cards.
Note: The configurations and usage of USB endpoints on ACR38x (CCID) shall follow CCID Rev 1.0 Section 3.
An overview is summarized below:
- Control Commands are sent on control pipe (default pipe). These include class-specific requests and USB standard requests. Commands that are sent on the default pipe report information back to the host on the default pipe.
- CCID Events are sent on the interrupt pipe.
- CCID Commands are sent on BULK-OUT endpoint. Each command sent to ACR38x (CCID) has an associated ending response. Some commands can also have intermediate responses.
- CCID Responses are sent on BULK-IN endpoint. All commands sent to ACR38x (CCID) have to be sent synchronously (e.g. bMaxCCIDBusySlots is equal to 01h for ACR38x (CCID)).

8.0. Memory Card Type Selection
SELECT_CARD_TYPE command must be executed first before other memory card commands. This command powers up and down the selected card inserted in the card reader and performs a card reset. This command can only be used after the logical smart card reader communication has been established using the SCardConnect() API.
Note: For details of SCardConnect() API, please refer to PC/SC specifications.
For the Memory Card Command Set, please refer to Section 9.3.
A code snippet for the program flow is given below to demonstrate how to select the memory card type in ACR38x (CCID):
SCARDCONTEXT hContext;
SCARDHANDLE hCard;
unsigned long dwActProtocol;
SCARD_IO_REQUEST ioRequest;
DWORD size = 64, SendLen = 6, RecvLen = 255, retCode;
byte cardType;
//Establish PC/SC Connection
retCode = SCardEstablishContext (SCARD_SCOPE_USER, NULL, NULL, &hContext);
//List all readers in the system
retCode = SCardListReaders (hContext, NULL, readerName, &size);
//Connect to the reader
retCode = SCardConnect(hContext, readerName, SCARD_SHARE_SHARED,
SCARD_PROTOCOL_T0, &hCard, &dwActProtocol);
//Select Card Type
unsigned char SendBuff[] = {0xFF, 0xA4, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, cardType};
retCode = SCardTransmit(hCard, &ioRequest, SendBuff, SendLen, NULL,
RecvBuff, &RecvLen);
//Disconnect from the reader
retCode = SCardDisconnect(hCard, SCARD_UNPOWER_CARD);
//End the established context
retCode = SCardReleaseContext(hContext);

9.3.7.3. WRITE_ONE_BYTE_MEMORY_CARD
This command is used to write one byte to the specified address of the inserted card. The byte is written to the card with LSB first, (i.e. the bit at card address 0 is regarded as the LSB of byte 0).
Four different WRITE modes are available for this card type, which are distinguished by a flag in the command data field:
a. Write
The byte value specified in the command is written to the specified address. This command can be used for writing personalization data and counter values to the card.
b. Write with carry
The byte value specified in the command is written to the specified address and the command is sent to the card to erase the next lower counter stage. Thus, this write mode can only be used for updating the counter value in the card.
c. Write with backup enabled (SLE 4436, SLE 5536 and SLE 6636 only)
The byte value specified in the command is written to the specified address. This command can be used for writing personalization data and counter values to the card. Backup bit is enabled to prevent data loss when card tearing occurs.
d. Write with carry and backup enabled (SLE 4436, SLE 5536 and SLE 6636 only)
The byte value specified in the command is written to the specified address and the command is sent to the card to erase the next lower counter stage. Thus, this write mode can only be used for updating the counter value in the card. Backup bit is enabled to prevent data loss when card tearing occurs.
With all write modes, the byte at the specified card address is not erased prior to the write operation and, hence, memory bits can only be programmed from '1' to '0'.
The backup mode available in the SLE 4436 and SLE 5536 card can be enabled or disabled in the write operation.
