1.0. Introduction
The AET65 is a composite device, consisting of the core of ACS’ ACR38-SAM smart card reader and
UPEK’s swipe fingerprint sensor. The smart card reader and the fingerprint sensor can be used
independently, but combining the two technologies provide a higher level of security in applications.
The AET65’s system diagram is shown below:
Figure 1. AET65 System Block Diagram
The purpose of this document is to describe the architecture and interface of AET65’s smart card
reader module, which is based on the ACR38-SAM core. For information on the architecture and
programming interface of the fingerprint module, please refer to the AET65 Fingerprint Reader
Application Programming Interface document (API_AET65_v1.0).

2.0. AET65 Smart Card Reader
The AET65 Smart Card Reader acts as an interface for the communication between a computer (for
example, a PC) and a smart card. Different types of smart cards have different commands and
different communication protocols which prevents, in most cases the direct communication between a
smart card and a computer. The AET65 Smart Card Reader is based on the ACR38-SAM core which
establishes a uniform interface from the computer to the smart card for a wide variety of cards. By
taking care of the card specific particulars, it releases the computer software programmer from getting
involved with the technical details of the smart card operation, which are not relevant in many cases of
the implementation of smart card system.
Note: Although the AET65 Smart Card Reader is a true card reader/writer as it can read and write
data from and to smart cards. The terms card reader or reader will be used indifferently to refer to
the AET65. These designations are commonly used for this kind of devices.
