When informations exchange is terminated or aborted (unresponsive card or detection of card removal), the electrical contacts shall be desactivated.
The deactivation by the interface device shall consist of the consecutive operations:
- State L on RST;
- State L on CLK;
- Vpp inactive;
- State A on I/O;
- VCC inactive;
Two types of transmissions are considered:
* Asynchronous transmission:
In this type of transmission, characters are transmitted on the I/O line in an asynchronous half duplex mode. Each character includes an 8bit byte.
* Synchronous transmission:
In this type of transmission, a series of bits is transmitted on the I/O line in half duplex mode in synchronisation with the clock signal on CLK.
* Bit duration
""""""""""""
The nominal bit duration used on I/O is defined as one Elementary Time Unit (etu).
For cards having internal clock, the initial etu is 1/9600 s.
For cards using the external clock, there is a linear relationship between the Elementary Time Unit used on I/O and the period provided by the interface device on CLK.
The initial etu is 372/fi s where fi is in Hertz.
The initial frequency fi is provided by the interface device on CLK during the Answer to Reset.
In order to read the initial character (TS), all cards shall initially be operated with fi in the range of 1 MHz to 5 MHz.
* Character frame during answer to reset
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Prior to the transmission of a character, I/O shall be in state Z.
A character consists of ten consecutive bits:
- a start bit in state A;
- eight bits of information, designated ba to bh and conveying a data byte;
- a tenth bit bi used for even parity checking.
A data byte consists of 8 bits designated b1 to b8, from the least significant bit (lsb, b1) to the most significant bit (msb, b8).
Conventions (level coding, connecting levels Z/A to digits 1 or 0: and a bit significance, connecting ba...bh to b1...b8) are specified in the initial character, call TS, which is transmitted by the card in response to reset.
Parity is correct when the number of ONES is even in the sequence from ba to bi.
Whithin a character, the time from the leading edge of the start bit to the trailing edge of the nth bit shall equal (n+/-0.2) etu.
When searching for a start, the receiver samples I/O periodically. The time origin being the mean between last observation of level Z and first observation of level A, the start shall be verified before 0.7 etu, and then ba is received at (1.5 +/-0.2) etu. Parity is checked on the fly.
NOTE : When searching for a start, the sampling time shall be less than 0.2 etu so that all the test zones are distinct from the transition zones.
The delay between two consecutives characters (between start leading edges) is at least 12 etu, including a character duration (10+/-0.2) etu plus a guardtime, the interface device and the card reamain both in reception, so that I/O is in state Z.

During the Answer to Reset, the delay between the start leading edges of two consecutives characters from the card shall not exeed 9600 etu. This maximum is named initial waiting time.
* Error detection and character repetition
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
During the answer to reset, the following characters repetition procedure depends on the protocol type. This procedure is mandatory for cards using the protocol type T=0; it is optional for the interface device and for the other cards.
The transmitter tests I/O (11+/-0.2) etu after the start leading edge:
- If I/O is in state Z, the correct reception is assumed.
- If I/O is in state A, the transmission is assumed to have been incorrect. The disputed character shall be repeated after a delay of at least 2 etu after detection of the error signal.
When parity is incorrect, from (10.5+/-0.2) etu, the receiver transmits an error signal at state A for 1 etu minimum and 2 etu maximum. The receiver then shall expect a repetition of the disputed character (see figure 8).
If no character repetition is provided by the card, - The card ignores and shall not suffer damage from the error signal coming from the interface device.
- The interface device shall be able to initiate the reception and the whole Answer to Reset response sequence.
* Structures and content
""""""""""""""""""""""
A reset operation results in the answer from the card consisting of the initial character TS followed by at most 32 characters in the following order:
- T0 ................... Format character (Mandatory) - TAi, TBi, TCi, TDi ... Interface characters (Optional) - T1, T2, ... ,TK ...... Historical characters (Optional) - TCK ..................

The interface characters specify physical parameters of the integrated circuit in the card and logical characteristics of the subsequent exchange protocol.
The historical characters designate general information, for example, the card manufacturer, the chip inserted in the card, the masked ROM in the chip, the state of the life of the card. The specification of the historical characters falls outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC7816.
For national simplicity, T0, TAi, ... ,TCK will designate the bytes as well as the characters in which they are contained.
Structure of TS, the initial character
--------------------------------------
The initial character TS provides a bit shynchronisation sequence and defines the conventions to code data bytes in all subsequent characters. These conventions refer to ISO1177.
I/O is initially in state Z. A bit synchronisation sequence (Z)AZZA is defined for the start bit and bits ba bb bc (see figure 5).
The last 3 bits bg bh bi shall be AAZ for checking parity.
NOTE : This allows the interface device to determinate the etu initially used by the card. An alternate measurement of etu is a third of the delay between the first two falling edges in TS. Transmission and reception mechanisms in the card shall be consistent with the alternate
definition of etu.
The two possible values of TS (ten consecutive bits from start to bi and corresponding hexadecimal value) are
- Inverse convention : (Z)ZZAAAAAZ
where logic level ONE is A, ba is b8 (msb is first), equal to $3F when decoded by inverse convention.
- Direct convention : (Z)ZZAZZZAAZ
where logic level ONE is Z, ba is b1 (lsb first), equal to $3B when decoded by direct convention.

Structure of the subsequent characters in the Answer to Reset
-------------------------------------------------------------
The initial character TS is followed by a variable number of subsequent characters in the following order: The format character T0 and, optionally the interface characters TAi, TBi, TCi, TDi and the
historical characters T1, T2, ... , TK and conditionally, the check character TCK.
The presence of the interface characters is indicated by a bit map technique explained below.
The presence of the historical characters is indicated by the number of bytes as specified in the format character defined below.
The presence of the check character TCK depends on the protocol type(s) as defined as below.
- Format character T0
-------------------
The T0 character contains two parts:
- The most significant half byte (b5, b6, b7, b8) is named Y1 and indicates with a logic level ONE the presence of subsequent characters TA1, TB1, TC1, TD1 respectively.
- The least significant half byte (b4 to b1) is named K and indicates the number (0 to 15) of historical characters.

- Interface characters TAi, TBi, TCi, TDi
---------------------------------------
TAi, TBi, TCi (i=1, 2, 3, ... ) indicate the protocol parameters.
TDi indicates the protocol type T and the presence of subsequent
characters.
Bits b5, b6, b7, b8 of the byte containing Yi (T0 contains Y1; TDi contains Yi+1) state whelther character TAi for b5, character TBi for b6, character TCi for b7, character TDi for b8 are or are not (depending on whether the relevant bit is 1 or 0) transmitted subsequently in this
order after the character containing Yi.
When needed, the interface device shall attribute a default value to information corresponding to a non transmitted interface character.
When TDi is not transmitted, the default value of Yi+1 is null, indicating that no further interface characters TAi+j, TBi+j, TCi+j, TDi+j will be transmitted.

Figure 7 : Informations provided by TDi --------
- Historical characters T1, T2, ... ,TK
-------------------------------------
When K is not null, the answer to reset is continued by transmitting K historical characters T1, T2, ... , TK.
- Check character TCK
-------------------
The value of TCK shall be such that the exclusive-oring of all bytes from T0 to TCK included is null.
The answer to reset is complete 12 etu after the leading edge of the last character.
Protocol type T
---------------
The four least significant bits of any interface character TDi indicate a protocol type T, specifying rules to be used to process transmission protocols. When TDi is not transmitted, T=0 is used.
T=0 is the asynchronous half duplex character transmission protocol.
T=1 is the asynchronous half duplex block transmission protocol.
T=2 and T=3 are reserved for future full duplex operations.
T=4 is reserved for an enhanced asynchronous half duplex character
transmission protocol.
T=5 to T=13 are reserved for future use.
T=14 is reserved for protocols standardized by ISO.
T=15 is reserved for future extension.
NOTE : If only T=0 is indicated, TCK shall not be sent. In all other cases TCK shall be sent.
Specifications of the global interface bytes
--------------------------------------------
Among the interface bytes possibly transmitted by the card in answering to reset, this subclaus defines only the global interface bytes TA1,TB1, TC1, TD1.
These global interface bytes convey information to determine parameters which the interface device shall take into account.
- Parameters F, D, I, P, N
------------------------
This initial etu is used during answer to reset is replaced by the work etu during subsequent transmission. F is the clock rate conversion factor and D is the bit rate adjustment factor to determine the work etu in subsequent transmissions.
For internal clock cards:
initial etu = 1/9600 s work etu = (1/D)*(1/9600) s
For external clock cards:
initial etu = 372/fi s work etu = (1/D)*(F/fs) s
The minimum value of fs shall be 1MHz.
The maximum value of fs is given by table 6.
I and P define the active state at VPP.
- Maximum programming current : Ipp = 1mA
- Programming voltage : Vpp = P.V
N is an extra guardtime requested by the card. Before receiving the next character, the card requires a delay of at least (12+N) etu from the start leading edge of the previous character. No extra guardtme is used to send characters from the card to the interface device.
The default values of these parameters are:
F = 372 ; D = 1 ; I = 50 ; P = 5 ; N = 0
- Integer values in global interface bytes
----------------------------------------
The global interface bytes, TA1, TB1, TC1, TB2 code integer values FI, DI II, PI1, N, PI2 which are either equal to or used to compute the values of the parameters F, D, I, P, N presented above.
TA1 codes FI over the most significant half byte (b8 to b5) and DI over the least significant half byte (b4 to b1).
TB1 codes II over the bits b7 and b6, and PI1 over the 5 least significant bits b5 to b1. The most significant bit b8 equals to 0.
NOTE : The interface device may ignore the bit b8 of TB1.
TC1 codes N over the eight bits (b8 to b1).
TB2 codes PI2 over the eight bits (b8 to b1).

PI1 from 5 to 25 gives the value of P in volts. PI1=0 indicates that VPP is connected in the card which generates an internal programming voltage from VCC. Other values of PI1 are reserved for future use.
When PI2 is present, the indication of PI1 should be ignores. PI2 from 50 to 250 gives the value of P in 0.1V. Other values of PI2 are reserved for future use.

- Extra guardtime N
-----------------
N codes directly the extra guard time, from 0 to 254 etu. N=255 indicates that the minimum delay between the start edges of two consecutives characters is reduced to 11 etu.
This part describes the physical charcteristics of integrated circuit cards. It includes accomodation of exposure limits for a number of electromagnetic phenomena such as X-rays, UV light, elacromagnetic fields, static electrical fields, and ambient temperature of the card.
Furthermore ISO7816-1 defines the characteristics of a card when it is bent or flexed. This is to make sure that plastic cards with embedded chips are manufactured in a way that guarantees flawless operation over the expected life time of a card. Connections beween the surface connectors and the I/O pins of the embedded silicon die must be maintaned and withstand mechanical stress. Bending and flexing procedures are standardised in ISO 7816.
This part of ISO7816 is important for card manufacturers. They are the ones that choose the materials and establish a process that embeds the integrated circuit into the card.
Part 2: Dimensions and Location of the Contacts
ISO 7816 part 2 defines the dimensions and location of the contacts. This part includes standards about number, function and position of the electrical contacts.
The integrated circuit card (ICC) has 8 electrical contacts . They are referred to as C1 through C8. However, not all 8 contacts are electrically connected to the embedded microprocessor chip and therefore unused at the present time.
The following table contains the contact definition according to ISO7816-2
Contact | Designation | Use |
C1 | Vcc | Power connection through which operating power is supplied to the microprocessor chip in the card |
C2 | RST | Reset line through which the IFD can signal to the smart card's microprocessor chip to initiate its reset sequence of instructions |
C3 | CLK | Clock signal line t hrough which a clock signal can be provided to the microprocessor chip. This line controls the operation speed and provides a common framework for data communication between the IFD and the ICC |
C4 | RFU | Reserved for future use |
C5 | GND | Ground line providing common electrical ground between the IFD and the ICC |
C6 | Vpp | Programming power connection used to program EEPROM of first generation ICCs. |
C7 | I/O | Input/output line that provides a half-duplex communication channel between the reader and the smart card |
C8 | RFU | Reserved for future use |
Remark:
Some smart cards issued before 1990 were adherent to a different standard for the contact location and therefore can't be used with today's ISO7816-2 compliant smart card readers. These cards were deployed primarily in Europe.
Part 3: Electronic Signals and Transmission Protocols (1)
This part describes electronic signals and transmission protocols of integrated circuit cards. We copied it from a version that is available on the Internet. If you need the official version of this part, please contact ISO in switzerland.. If you have suggestions or material to include (tables, graphs etc) please contact us. The document will stay at this location for anyone that wants a direct link to this part of the standard. We will edit this document shortly, bring it up to date and add comments.
Most of ISO7816 3 is important for reader manufacturers or developers who want to establish a communication with a smart card on a very low level, the signal level. Going through ISO 7816-3 you will see what's involved in writing your own I/O software. This can be either to communicate from a microcontroller or a PC's serial/parallel/USB/PCMCIA port. Even if you don't go that far, it is quite interesting to read about what you can get out of an Answer to Reset (ATR).
There are many tools out there to read an ATR. Even on this site we put a remote version of a free ATR probing tool that reads and interprets an ATR over the Internet. All you need is a PCSC compliant smart card reader attached to a PC with an Internet connection.
I/O : Input or Output for serial data to the integrated circuit inside the card.

* I/O
This contact is used as input (reception mode) or output (transmission mode) for data exchange. Two possible states exist for I/O:
- mark or high state (State Z), if the card and the interface device are in reception mode or if the state is imposed by the transmitter.
- space or low state (State A), if this state is imposed by the
transmitter.
When the two ends of the line are in reception mode, the line shall be maintained in state Z. When the two ends are in non-matced transmit mode, the logic state of the line may be indeterminate. During operations, the interface device and the card shall not both be in transmit mode.

This operating procedure applies to every integrated circuit(s) card with contacts:
The dialogue between the interface device and the the card shall be conducted through the consecutive operations:
- connection and activation of the contacts by the interface device.
- reset of the card.
- answer to reset by the card.
- subsequent information exchange between the card and the interface device.
- desactivation of the contacts by the interface device.
These operations are specified in the following subclauses.
NOTE :
An active state on VPP should not only be provided and maintained when requested by the card.
The electrical circuits shall not be activated until the contacts are connected to the interface device so as to avoid possible damage to any card meeting these standards.
The activation of the contacts by the interface device shall consist of the consecutive operations:
- RST is in state L;
- VCC shall be powered;
- I/O in the interface device shall be put in reception mode;
- VPP shall be raised to idle state;
- CLK shallbe provided with a suitable and stable clock.
A card reset is initiated by the interface device, whereupon the card shall respond with an Answer to Reset as describe in 2.4.
By the end of the activation of the contacts (RST is in L, VCC powered and stable, I/O in reception mode in the interface device, VPP stable at idle level, CLK provided with a suitable and stable clock), the card answering asynchronously is ready for reset.
The clock signal is applied to CLK at time T0. The I/O line shall be set to state Z within 200 clcok cycles of the clock signal (t2) being applied to CLK (time t2 after T0).
An internally reset card reset after a few cycles of clock signal. The Answer to Reset on I/O shall begin between 400 and 40 000 clock cycles (t1) after the clock signal is applied to CLK (time t1 after T0).
A card with an active low reset is reset by maintaining RST in state L for at least 40 000 clock cycles (t3) after the clock signal is applied on CLK (time t3 after T0). Thus if no Answer to Reset begind within 40 000 clock cycles (t3) with RST in state L, RST is put to state H (at time T1). The
Answer to Reset on I/O shall begin between 400 and 40 000 clock cycles (t1) after the rising edge of the signal on RST (time t1 after T1).
If the Anwser to Reset does not begin within 40 000 clock cycles (t3) with RST in state H (t3 after T1), the signal on RST shall be returned to state L (at time T2) and the contacts shall be desactivated by the interface device.

With a card answering synchonously, the interface device sets all the lines to state L (See figure 2). VCC is the powered, VPP is set to idle state, CLK and RST remain in L state, I/O is put in reception mode in the interface device, RST shall be maintained in state H for at least 50 us (t12), before returning to state L again.
The clock pulse is applied after an interval (t10) from the rising edge of the reset signal. The duration of the state H of the clock pulse can be any value between 10 us and 50 us ; no more than one clock pulse during reset high is allowed. The time interval between the falling edges on CLK
and RST is t11.
The first data bit is obtained as an answer to reset on I/O while CLK is in state L and is valid after an interval t13 from the falling edge on RST.

NOTES:
1 - The internal state of the card is assumed not to be defined before reset. Therefore the design of the card has to avoid inproper operation.
2 - In order to continue the dialogue with the card, RST shall be maintained in the state where an answer occurs on I/O.
3 - Reset of a card can be initiated by the interface device at its discetion at any time.
4 - Interface devices may support one or more of these types of reset behaviour. The priority of testing for asynchronous or synchronous cards is not defined in this standard.
