NCN6010DTBR2G

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NCN6010DTBR2G is a SIM card supply and level shifter integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi. It translates voltages between a SIM card and an external microcontroller, supporting both 3.0 V and 5.0 V operating cards via a built-in charge pump converter. The device operates from a 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply (VDD) and provides up to 10 mA output current at 5.0 V or 6.0 mA at 3.0 V. Key electrical parameters include a typical standby current of 500 nA, a maximum input clock frequency of 10 MHz, and ESD protection rated at 6.0 kV on SIM pins. It complies with GSM 11.11 and ISO7816-3 specifications.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Built-in DC-DC charge pump converter enables operation with both 3.0 V and 5.0 V SIM cards from a single low-voltage supply.
• Bi-directional level shifters adapt serial I/O signals between the microcontroller and the smart card.
• Integrated STOP pin allows immediate power-down of the SIM interface in case of failure or card removal.
• High ESD protection rating of 6.0 kV on SIM card pins ensures robustness against electrostatic discharge.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Cellular phone SIM interface
• Identification module

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix for packaging requirements, as the DTBR2G variant indicates tape and reel packaging. Confirm that the application design accounts for the mandatory use of low ESR ceramic capacitors (X5R or X7R) for the charge pump circuitry to meet ripple and efficiency specifications. Ensure the PCB layout minimizes ground loop interference to prevent voltage spikes during charge pump switching operations.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing a 3.3 V microcontroller with SIM cards requiring either 3.0 V or 5.0 V logic levels. It is suitable for applications demanding compliance with GSM 11.11 standards and ISO7816-3 power-down sequences. Consider the package size and thermal characteristics if high ambient temperatures are expected, noting the operating junction temperature range extends up to 125°C.
