This is a summary Document. A complete document is
available on the Gemplus Web site. www.gemplus.com
The connection with the host processor is achieved via a serial asynchronous link; the rate can
be selected from a range from 1200 to 115,200 bps.
The software inside the GemCore chip handles a communication protocol with the host system
called the Gemplus Block Protocol (GBP).
A complete set of documentation is available on the Gemplus web site:
http://www.gemplus.com.
A GBP Interface Library Kit can be provided, upon request. It consists of the source code of the
GBP communication layer between the host and GemCore. It is written in the C language. See
the Gemplus developers’ site at www.gemplus.com. Enquiries can also be posted to
cardreader@atmel.com.

P3.7 is a bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups.
I/OReset Input
Holding this pin low for 64 oscillator periods while the oscillatoris running resets the
device. The Port pins are driven to their reset conditions when a voltage lower than V
is applied, whether or not the oscillator is running. This pin has an internal pull-up
resistor which allows the device to be reset by connecting a capacitor between this pin
and VSS. Asserting RST

an internal reset occurs.
