Contact test system

ci220 — high-speed contact test system.

A high-speed test system for ISO/IEC 7816 contact smart cards — electrical and protocol characterization and conformance, and the contact counterpart to the ci230's contactless coverage.

What the ci220 does

Where the ci230 covers the contactless interface, the ci220 covers the contact interface — the gold-contact chip used in SIM/UICC, payment chips and ID cards. It characterizes and conformance-tests the ISO/IEC 7816 electrical interface and transmission protocols, at high speed.

  • Full ISO/IEC 7816-3 electrical characterization — supply, clock, I/O levels and timing
  • T=0 and T=1 transmission protocols, ATR and error handling
  • APDU-level command and response testing
  • High-speed operation for fast characterization and conformance
