The ST7GEME4 has been developed to offer a complete ready-to-use firmware solution
which allows fast development and rapid time-to-market of smartcard reader applications.
It offers a single IC solution and simplifies the integration of smartcard interfaces into
electronic devices such as computer s , POS terminals, mobile phones , PDAs, home routers,
and set-top boxes. Pre-programmed with communication software from our partner
GEMPLUS, the ST7GEME4 is a complete firmware solution controlling the communication
between ISO 7816 1-2-3-4 cards an d a ho st syste m. An evaluation kit and reference design
with a complete bill of materials and PCB recommendations are available. The ST7GEME4
complies with EMVCo/EMV2000 standards. Software support and engineering expertise in
system integration and PCB design are available as additional services.
3.1 Functionality
The core functionality of ST7GEME4 resides in its pre-programmed software embedded in
ROM memory. GemCore
host computer and the external card. Basic features and compliance are described in the
features section and in Table 3 on page 11.
A dedicated analog block provides smartcard power supplies 1.8 V, 3 V, and 5 V necessary
to interface with different card voltages available on the market. Voltages are selected by
software. External LEDs can also be directly connected to dedicated I/Os.
A dedicated UART interface provides an ISO 7816 communication port for connection with
the smartcard connector. A full-speed USB interface port allows external connection to a
host computer. An optional RS232 connection is also available on dedicated I/Os.
TM
technology manages the commu nication protocol to/from the
3.2 Smartcard interface features
The ST7GEME4 firmware includes the following features:
●Compatibility with asynchronous cards
●Compatibility with T=0 and T=1 protocols
●Compatibility with EMV and PC/SC modes.
●Compatibility with ISO 7816-3 and 4 and ability to supply the cards with 5V, 3V or 1.8V
(class A, B or C cards, respectively)
●Resume/wake-up mode upon smartcard inser tion/removal
Further details on smartcard management can be found in "Gemcore USB Pro reference
manual" from Gemplus.
The reader is able to communicate with smartcards up to the maximum baud rate allowed,
namely 344 086 bps (TA1=16) for a clock frequency of 4 MHz. Because the size of the
smartcard buffer is 261 bytes, care must be taken not to exceed this size during APDU
exchanges when the protocol in use is T=1.
10/28
ST7GEME4ST7GEME4 implementation
3.3 EMV versus PC/SC-ISO mode
The ST7GEME4 supports two operating modes:
●An EMV mode, based on the EMV4.1 specifications
●A PC/SC-ISO mode which allows to manage of a smartcard according to the PC/SC
and ISO 7816-3 standards
The default mode is PC/SC, however, the reader can switch between EMV and PC/SC-ISO
modes.
GemCore2000 is a utility in charge of managing the switching between the two modes.
When the utility is activated, the reader attempts EMV mode management whenever a
smartcard is inserted. If reading is successful, PC/SC mode will not be available.
Caution:The activation of the GemCore2000 utility must be done before any card command. Any
activation of the GemCore2000 utility is not recommended unless the reader is reset.
The EMV mode fails if:
●The smartcard has not sent an EMV-compliant answer to reset (ATR)
●Negotiation of the buffer size with a T=1 card has failed
Using PC/SC-ISO mode with GemCore2000
The reader switches to PC/SC mode after the application or the driver has sent the
appropriate dedicated command to the reader (with a pro prietary Escape command). In this
case, the reader remains in PC/SC mode as long as the card remains in the reader.
Whenever the EMV mode fails, the sm artcard is powered off. After the host application has
sent the PC/SC switch (proprietary) Escape command, the application must send a new
Card Power On command.
When the reader deals with an EMV card, the data exchanged between the reader and the
host consists of short APDU messages. When the card is not EMV-compliant and the reader
is set to PC/SC-ISO mode, the reader exchanges TPDU messages with the host.
Restriction: character level and the extended APDU are not implemented in ST7GEME4
solution.

injection is performed. This leakage is tolerated by the digital structure. The effect depends on the pin
which is submitted to the injection. Of course, external digital signals applied to the component must have
a maximum impedance close to 50kΩ.
5. Location of the negative current injection: Pure digital pins can tolerate 1.6mA. In addition, the best choice
is to inject the current as far as possible from the analog input pins.

The ST7 internal clock is supplied with one Crystal resonator oscillator. All the information
given in this paragraph are based on characterization results with specified typical external
components. In the application, the resonator and the load capacitors have to be placed as
close as possible to the oscillator pins in order to minimize output distortion and start-up
stabilization time. Refer to the crystal resonator manufacturer for more details (frequency,
package, accuracy...).

●ESD: electrostatic discharge (positive and negative) is applied on all pins of the device
until a functional disturbance occurs. This test conforms with the IEC 1000-4-2

Designing hardened software to avoid noise problems
EMC characterization and optimization are performed at component level with a typical
application environment and simplified MCU sof tware. It should be noted that good EMC
performance is highly dependent on the user application and the software in particular.
Therefore it is recommended that the user applies EMC software optimization and
prequalification tests in relation with the EMC level requested for his application.

Software recommendations
The software flowchart must include the management of runaway conditions such as :
●Corrupted program counter
●Unexpected reset
●Critical Data corruption (control registers...)
Prequalification trials
Most of the common failures (u nexpected reset and program counter corruption) can be
reproduced by manually forcing a low state on the RESET pin or the Oscillator pins for 1
second.
To complete these trials, ESD stress can be applied directly on the device , o v er the r ange of
specification values. When unexpected behavior is detected, the software can be hardened
to prevent unrecoverab le errors occurring (see application note AN1015).

depends on the number of supply pins in the device (3 parts*(n+1) supply pin). The Human
Body Model is simulated. This test conforms to the JESD22-A114A sta ndard.

Static and dynamic latch-up
●LU: 3 complementary static tests are required on 10 parts to assess the latch-up
performance. A supply overvoltage (applied to each power supply pin) and a current
injection (applied to each input, output and configurable I/O pin) are performed on each
sample. This test conforms to the EIA/JESD 78 I C lat ch-u p standa rd . For more details,
refer to the application note AN1181.
●DLU: Electrostatic discharges (one positive then one negative test) are applied to e ach
pin of 3 samples when the micro is running to assess the latch-up performance in
dynamic mode. P o wer supplies are set to the typical values, the oscillator is connected
as near as possible to the pins of the micro and the component is put in reset mode.
This test conforms to the IEC1000-4-2 and SAEJ1752/3 standards. For more details,
refer to the application note AN1181.
