Reference design enables turnkey implementation of EMV-compliant contactless payment terminal

摘要

An EMV pre-certified reference design by ams AG helps users develop a contactless payment terminal for Visa payWave and MasterCard PayPass cards. The reference design, developed in collaboration with smart card software vendor Alcineo, implements all the functions of a contactless payment terminal, from the 13.56-MHz RFID interface to the transaction protocols specified by Visa and MasterCard. The ams/Alcineo design provides a complete, production-ready blueprint. It includes the RF front end, communications protocol stacks and transaction software, a 3.0" LCD display from Kyocera with an edge-mounted antenna, SAM module, keypad, 5-V power supply and plastic housing. The kit includes Gerber (electronics) design files and schematics, a bill of materials, Level 1 and Level 2 demonstration software libraries and mechanical specifications.
