NVT4556
SIM card interface level translator with I2C-bus control and
LDO
Rev. 1.1 — 25 August 2015
Product data sheet
1. General description
The NVT4556 device is built for interfacing a SIM card with a single low-voltage host-side
interface. The NVT4556 contains an LDO that can deliver two different voltages, 1.8 V or
3 V, from a typical mobile phone battery voltage, and three level translators to convert the
data, RSTn and CLKn signals between a SIM card and a host microcontroller.
The NVT4556 VCC pin provides power to the host side I/Os and doubles as an enable pin,
for this reason it can be connected to a GPIO that matches the host side voltage. The total
current draw from the VCC pin is only 100 A maximum. The NVT4556 also uses the
I2C-bus interface to enable normal operation and to select either 1.8 V or 3 V for the SIM
card power supply. The NVT4556 can also disable the LDO functionality while maintaining
the level translator paths so that the user can use a system-controlled regulator to power
the SIM card power supply. The NVT4556 can enable users to provide second and third
SIM card functionality with a low-voltage one host SIM port, at the same time reducing the
number of GPIOs used in the system. The NVT4556 is compliant with all ETSI, IMT-2000
and ISO-7816 SIM/Smart card interface requirements.
The NVT4556 is available in a 12-pin WLCSP package and has three factory
programmed slave address options.

7. Functional description
Refer to Figure 1 “Functional diagram”.
7.1 Shutdown sequence of NVT4556
The ISO 7816-3 specification specifies the shutdown sequence for the SIM card signals.
This shutdown sequence ensures that these channels are properly disabled and does not
have any accidental corruption of data. Also during hot swap, the orderly shutdown of
these signals helps to avoid any improper write and corruption of data.
When the VCC falls below its UVLO threshold, a shutdown sequence is immediately
initiated. The RST_SIM is first driven LOW after a short delay the CLK_SIM and IO_SIM
are driven LOW followed by VSIM. An internal pull-down resistor on the SIM pins is used
to pull these channels LOW. The shutdown sequence is completed in a few
microseconds.

VCC UVLO shutdown sequence for RST_SIM, CLK_SIM, IO_SIM and VSIM of
NVT4556 SIM card translator
The shutdown sequence can also be initiated by one of two events: by de-asserting the
RST_HOST/EN pin if bit 6 (RST_HOST pin mode select bit) is set to 1, or by writing a 0 to
bit 0 (Device enable bit) if bit 6 is set to 0. The shutdown sequence consists of first
powering down the RST_SIM channel. Once the RST_SIM channel is powered down,
CLK_SIM, IO_SIM and VSIM are powered down sequentially one-by-one. An internal
pull-down resistor on the SIM pins is used to pull these channels LOW. The shutdown
sequence is completed in a few microseconds. It is important that enable is written LOW
before VBAT and VCC supplies go LOW to ensure that the shutdown sequence is properly
initiated. The NVT4556 is enabled and disabled at the end of the I2C-bus write sequence,
so a delay in the start of the I/O signals should account for time of this data sequence.

7.2 RST_HOST/EN pin
The NVT4556 RST_HOST/EN pin can be programmed to accept the reset signal from the
host to the SIM card or programmed to be an enable pin for the part. When the NVT4556
is programmed with bit 6 = 0, the RST_HOST/EN pin acts as a pass-through logic-level
translator. A 0 on the host side appears as a 0 on the SIM side, and a 1 at the host side
appears as a 1 on the SIM side. When the NVT4556 is programmed with bit 6 = 1, the
RST_HOST/EN pin becomes a hardware enable/disable pin, so that the part can be
enabled and disabled with a logic level input. In this case, the VCC can be powered from
the host supply and does not need to be pulled down to disable the part. Also, the reset
signal for the SIM card must be written to bit 5. When a 1 is written to bit 5, a logic 1 is
asserted onto RST_SIM. When a 0 is written to bit 5, a logic 0 is asserted on onto
RST_SIM.
When bit 6 is set to 1 and RST_HOST/EN acts as an enable pin, bit 0 is ignored and only
logic signals acting on RST_HOST/EN and the VCC enable and disable the part. Bit 0 can
be read to see the state of the RST_HOST/EN pin and bit 3 can be programmed to set the
EN polarity to be active HIGH or active LOW.
7.3 Clock stop, latch I/O state
The NVT4556 can also support clock stop modes as well as an I/O stop so that two
NVT4556 devices can operate from a single host SIM port. The NVT4556 can latch the
state of the IO_HOST, CLK_HOST and RST_HOST/EN when bit 4 is toggled to 1. This
asserts the logic value onto the IO_SIM, CLK_SIM and RST_SIM pins. This effectively
initiates the clock stop mode and free the user to activate a secondary NVT4556 attached
to the same host port. The NVT4556 devices must have different I2C-bus addresses so
that they can be accessed independently of each other.
If bit 6 is programmed to 1 and the RST_HOST/EN pin is acting as an enable pin, then
bit 5 must be used to latch the RST_SIM state through the I2C-bus.

7.4 Software reset
The Software Reset Call allows all the devices in the I2C-bus to be reset to the power-up
state value through a specific formatted I2C-bus command. To be performed correctly, it
implies that the I2C-bus is functional and that there is no device hanging the bus.
The Software Reset sequence is defined as the following (see Figure 6):
1. A START command is sent by the I2C-bus master.
2. The reserved General Call I2C-bus address ‘0000 000’ with the R/W bit set to 0 (write)
is sent by the I2C-bus master.
3. The NVT4556 device(s) acknowledge(s) after seeing the General Call address
‘0000 0000’ (00h) only. If the R/W bit is set to 1 (read), no acknowledge is returned to
the I2C-bus master.
4. Once the General Call address has been sent and acknowledged, the master sends
1 byte. The value of the byte must be equal to 06h. The NVT4556 acknowledges this
value only. If the byte is not equal to 06h, the NVT4556 does not acknowledge it. If
more than 1 byte of data is sent, the NVT4556 does not acknowledge any more.
5. Once the right byte has been sent and correctly acknowledged, the master sends a
STOP command to end the Software Reset sequence: NVT4556 then resets to the
default value (power-up value) and is ready to be addressed again within the specified
bus free time. If the master sends a Repeated START instead, no reset is performed.

10. Application information
Figure 8 is the application circuit for the NVT4556 and shows the typical interface with a
SIM card. The VCC pin on the NVT4556 powers the host I/O pins and is designed to be
driven from a GPIO. This GPIO then acts as both the host-side power supply and an
enable/disable pin. The NVT4556 provides a Low-DropOut (LDO) regulator that is
designed for high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) at a very low drop-out voltage
(VBAT  VVSIM). The LDO regulator provides two levels of fixed voltage regulation at 1.8 V
or 3 V, which are selected with an I2C-bus write. Since there is only one register, a
subaddress is not necessary.

NXP Semiconductors
SIM card interface level translator with I2C-bus control and LDO
10.1 Input/output capacitor considerations
It is recommended that a 1 F capacitor and a 100 nF capacitor having low Equivalent
Series Resistance (ESR) are used respectively at the battery (VBAT) and VCC input
terminals of the NVT4556. X5R and X7R type multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are
preferred because they have minimal variation in value and ESR over temperature. The
maximum ESR should be < 500 m(50 m typical).
Also, a 2.2 F to 4.7 F capacitor is recommended at the Low Dropout regulator (LDO)
output terminal to ensure stability. X5R and X7R type are recommended for their minimal
variation over temperature and low ESR over frequency which avoids stability issues at
high frequencies. The maximum ESR should be < 1.0 . Furthermore, the decrease in
capacitance with an increase in the bias voltage should be considered to optimize LDO
stability. In addition, the trade-off in LDO stability versus the value and constraint in case
size of the capacitor determined by the application must be considered. As output load
capacitance decreases, the LDO stability becomes marginal. A given 4.7 F ceramic
capacitor may become 0.33 F capacitance depending on the effects of bias voltage and
temperature. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer’s characterization of a
capacitor based on case size, bias voltage and type. Figure 9 is an example of how a
4.7 F capacitor is affected by the above parameters.

10.2 Layout consideration
The capacitors should be placed directly at the terminals and ground plane. Since the
internal band gap regulator is the dominant noise source in a typical application,
connections and routing of the ground is very important to improve and optimize noise
performance, PSRR and transient response. It is recommended to design the PCB with
separate ground planes for the VI (VBAT) and VO (VSIM) of the LDO regulator with each
ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the NVT4556.

10.3 Dropout voltage
The NVT4556 uses a PMOS pass transistor to achieve a very low dropout voltage. When
VBAT  VVSIM is less than the dropout voltage, the PMOS transistor operates in the linear
region and the input-to-output resistance is RDSon of the PMOS device. The dropout
voltage, Vdo, scales with the output current since the PMOS device behaves like a resistor
in the input-to-output path.
10.4 Level translator stage
The architecture of the NVT4556 I/O channel is shown in Figure 10. The device does not
require an extra input signal to control the direction of data flow from host to SIM or from
SIM to host. As a change of driving direction is possible only when both sides are in HIGH
state, the control logic is recognizing the first falling edge granting it control about the
other signal side. During a rising edge signal, the non-driving output is driven by a
one-shot circuit to accelerate the rising edge. In case of a communication error or some
other unforeseen incident that would drive both connected sides to be drivers at the same
time, the internal logic automatically prevents stuck-at situation, so both I/Os return to
HIGH level once released from being driven LOW.
The channels RST and CLK contain single direction drivers without the holding
mechanism of the I/O channel, as these are driven only from the host to the card side.

10.5 LDO block diagram
The block diagram of the LDO is depicted in Figure 11. It contains a pull-down mechanism
to avoid any uncontrolled voltage level at the VSIM pin in the disabled state. Furthermore,
thermal protection as well as an overcurrent protection are integrated to disable the output
in case of a permanent short that may result in excessive self-heating.

Fig 11. LDO block diagram
The default LDO output voltage is 1.8 V but can be selected to be either 1.8 V or 3.0 V
through the proper I2C-bus writes.
The I2C-bus has the ability to disable the LDO such that the VSIM can be powered
through an external system regulator. If the LDO is disabled, the RSTn, CLKn and IOn
data paths are still active. It is necessary to supply external power to the VCC, VSIM, and
VBAT power supply pins, since there is active circuitry that still exists on the three supplies.
10.6 Power-on reset
When power is applied to VCC, an internal Power-On Reset (POR) holds the NVT4556 in
a reset condition until VCC has reached VPOR. At that point, the reset condition is released
and the NVT4556 registers and I2C-bus state machine initialize to their default states.
Thereafter VCC must be lowered below 1.2 V to reset the device.
10.7 Serial bus interface
The NVT4556 communicates with a host controller by means of the 2-wire serial bus
(I2C-bus) that consists of a serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) signals. The device
supports I2C-bus Standard-mode and Fast-mode. The I2C-bus Standard-mode speed is
defined to have bus speeds from 0 Hz to 100 kHz. I2C-bus Fast-mode speed is from 0 Hz
to 400 kHz. The host or bus master generates the SCL signal and the NVT4556 uses the
SCL signal to receive or send data on the SDA line. Data transfer is serial, bidirectional,
and is 1 byte at a time with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) transferred first. Since SCL and
SDA are open-drain, pull-up resistors must be installed on these pins.

10.8 Slave address
The NVT4556 uses a 7-bit slave address to identify it on the I2C-bus. The last bit of the
address byte defines the operation to be performed. When set to logic 1, a read is
selected, while a logic 0 selects a write operation. The level translator’s 7-bit fixed slave
address is ‘60h’ for the NVT4556AUK, ‘61h’ for the NVT4556BUK and ‘62h’ for the
NVT4556CUK. However, for a write operation (R/W bit = 0) to the NVT4556, the address
byte content (8 bits) is ‘C0h’ for the NVT4556AUK, ‘C2h’ for the NVT4556BUK, and
‘C4h’ for the NVT4556CUK.
Remark: Device variant NVT4556CUK is under development.

Fig 12. Slave address; normal read/write
10.9 I2C-bus interface
There is only one data register in this device, so the Pointer register is always set to ‘00h’.
For this reason, a subaddress is not required for reading or writing. Only data is required
to be sent on the bus after a slave address acknowledge.
A ‘write’ to this device always includes the slave address byte and data byte.
A ‘read’ to this device always includes the slave address byte and data byte.
The data byte has the most significant bit first. At the end of a read, this device can accept
either Acknowledge (ACK) or No Acknowledge (NACK) from the Master (No Acknowledge
is typically used as a signal for the slave that the Master has read its last byte).

10.10 Write operations
10.10.1 Byte Write
In Byte Write mode, the master creates a START condition and then broadcasts the slave
address and data to be written. The slave acknowledges the bytes by pulling down the
SDA line during the ninth clock cycle following each byte. The master creates a STOP
condition after the last ACK from the slave, which then starts the internal write operation
(see Figure 15). During internal write, the slave ignores any read/write request from the
master.

If the NVT4556 decodes a slave address with a ‘1’ in the R/W bit position (Figure 16), it
issues an Acknowledge in the ninth clock cycle and then transmits the data byte. The
master can then stop further transmission by issuing a No Acknowledge on the ninth bit
then followed by a STOP condition.

12. Soldering of WLCSP packages
12.1 Introduction to soldering WLCSP packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip-Size Packages) can be found in application note
AN10439 “Wafer Level Chip Scale Package” and in application note AN10365 “Surface
mount reflow soldering description”.
Wave soldering is not suitable for this package.
All NXP WLCSP packages are lead-free.
12.2 Board mounting
Board mounting of a WLCSP requires several steps:
1. Solder paste printing on the PCB
2. Component placement with a pick and place machine
3. The reflow soldering itself
12.3 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 18) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues, such as smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature), and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic) while being low enough that the packages and/or boards are not
damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and
volume and is classified in accordance with Table 10.

For further information on temperature profiles, refer to application note AN10365
“Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
12.3.1 Stand off
The stand off between the substrate and the chip is determined by:
• The amount of printed solder on the substrate
• The size of the solder land on the substrate
• The bump height on the chip
The higher the stand off, the better the stresses are released due to TEC (Thermal
Expansion Coefficient) differences between substrate and chip.
12.3.2 Quality of solder joint
A flip-chip joint is considered to be a good joint when the entire solder land has been
wetted by the solder from the bump. The surface of the joint should be smooth and the
shape symmetrical. The soldered joints on a chip should be uniform. Voids in the bumps
after reflow can occur during the reflow process in bumps with high ratio of bump diameter
to bump height, i.e. low bumps with large diameter. No failures have been found to be
related to these voids. Solder joint inspection after reflow can be done with X-ray to
monitor defects such as bridging, open circuits and voids.
12.3.3 Rework
In general, rework is not recommended. By rework we mean the process of removing the
chip from the substrate and replacing it with a new chip. If a chip is removed from the
substrate, most solder balls of the chip will be damaged. In that case it is recommended
not to re-use the chip again.

Device removal can be done when the substrate is heated until it is certain that all solder
joints are molten. The chip can then be carefully removed from the substrate without
damaging the tracks and solder lands on the substrate. Removing the device must be
done using plastic tweezers, because metal tweezers can damage the silicon. The
surface of the substrate should be carefully cleaned and all solder and flux residues
and/or underfill removed. When a new chip is placed on the substrate, use the flux
process instead of solder on the solder lands. Apply flux on the bumps at the chip side as
well as on the solder pads on the substrate. Place and align the new chip while viewing
with a microscope. To reflow the solder, use the solder profile shown in application note
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
12.3.4 Cleaning
Cleaning can be done after reflow soldering.
