The following key parameters are programmable:
Smart Card clock frequency and communication baud rate
protocol convention
card activation and deactivation time
check for maximum time for first character of Answer To Reset (ATR) reception
check for maximum duration of ATR character stream
check for maximum time for receipt of first character of data stream
check for maximum time allowed between characters
character and block guard time
transmit and receive character retry and FIFO level
clock start and stop time and inactive level.
See the self-test software that is supplied on the CD accompanying the baseboard for a example of detecting a SIM card response to a reset.
