DESCRIPTION
The members of the ST1335/1336/1355 family are
principally designed for use in prepaid Ph onecard
applications. Each is a 272-bit EEPR OM device,
with associated security logic and special fuses to
control memory access. The m emory is a rranged
as a matrix of 34 x 8 cells, accessed in a serial bitwise fashion for reading and programming, and in
a byte-wise fashion for internal erasing. An on-chip

address counter provides an internal address
space of up to 512 bits.
Each member of the ST1335/1336/1355 family
has an identification data area, unit-counters (with
an anti-tearing mechanism for reliable usage in
open readers), a post validation certificate, an
issuer area (ST1336) or an aut hentication secret

key area (ST1335/1355), and a user area. This is
summarized in Figure 2.
The validation certificate allows the recognition of
the device by the appropriate security module.
The anti-tearing mechanism guards against extra,
spurious count signals being executed when the

card is unexpectedly extracted, while an operation
is underway, in an open reader.
EXTERNAL COMMANDS
The device uses five contacts: V
, GND, I/O,
CC
CLK, RST. Four commands distinct can be
composed using these external pins:
– RESET: to reset the internal address register to
000d
– READ: to increment the internal address
register and read the data bit at the new address
– COMPARE: to allow comparison of the
presented code against the internal transport
code
– PROGRAM: to program the bit at the current
address
CONFIGURATIONS
The device works in two distinct configurations:
– Issuer Configuration: for the card manufacturer.
Customized data can be written to the chip, to
initialize it before release to the end user.
– User Configuration: for use b y the end user of
the card, but with restricted access.
OPTIONS
Three options can be chosen on ordering the
device:
– The anti-tearing mechanism can be
disconnected. In this case, the anti-tearing flag
area from bit 288d to bit 319d is unused (Figure
2).
– The user area, from bit 320d to bit 375d, can be
defined as “not erasable” in the User
Configuration.
– The reload mechanism can be activated. In this
case, erasing a bit in the reload counter
refreshes the certificate (CER). At this time, the
certificate can be programmed with a new
value.
ORDERING INFORMATION
