ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual describes the features, specification and installation of PC/SC driver for

EZ100PK/PR PC/SC IC card reader.

EZ100 PC/SC User’s Manual V1.3

1. Introduction

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC IC card reader/writer is an interface for the

communication between a personal computer and an IC card.

EZ100PK/PR PC/SC provides a uniform and simple interface to the computer,

Through the interface, it becomes much easier for an application software

programmer to process different types of IC cards.

Users who are using the EZ100PK/PR PC/SC don’t need to know the detail of the

communication protocol and physical layer of cards. However, They do need to know

the command set of a specific smart card or the memory organization of a memory

card in order to write their particular application software.

The EZ100PR PC/SC reader is connected to the COM port of the computer

through its RS232 interface for the data communication. And it also has a cable to be

connected to the keyboard port of the computer to get its power. Whereas, the

EZ100PK PC/SC reader has only one cable connected to the keyboard port for both

data communication and power.

The PC/SC Workgroup, a joint effort of Bull CP8, Gemplus, Hewlett-Packard,

IBM Corporation, Microsoft, Schlumberger, Siemens Nixdorf, Sun Microsystems,

Toshiba and VeriFone was initiated to develop a specification that can facilitate the

interoperability necessary to allow Integrated Circuit Card (ICC) technology to be

effectively utilized in the PC environment. In addition to development of the

specification, the PC/SC Workgroup members are committed to implementation of

both hardware devices and PC system components necessary to validate the design

efforts. This is deemed a critical step in the process of moving toward accepted

standards and will provide a base of experience from which to further refine and/or

enhance this specification. For more information, please reference the PC/SC

Workgroup web site : http://www.pcscworkgroup.com/.

Note: All the EZ series IC card readers can do both read and write functions to IC

cards. However, the term “card reader” or “reader” is usually and commonly in use

for this kind of devices.

4. IC Card Interface

A.IC Card Power Supply VCC

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader supplies power to cards. The maximum

current consumption of an IC card should not exceed 50mA.

B.Programming Voltage VPP

Since all common IC cards currently being used in the market have an

internal charge pump to supply the Vpp from the Vcc for writing/erasing internal

EEPROM. The Vpp is not needed any more. Therefore, The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC

reader connects this pin to Vcc always to avoid floating.

C.Card Acceptor

The EZ100PK/PR PC/SC reader provides a push-pull type of card acceptor. It

has guaranteed 200,000 insertion cycles.

D.Card Insertion Detection

There is a card detecting switch in the IC card acceptor to detect the card is

present or absent.
