Smart Card Interface IC in 28-TSSOP
The Maxim Integrated DS8024-RJX+ is a specialized interface IC designed for smart card applications. It handles the analog-level signaling and power management required to communicate with a smart card, making it a central component in payment terminals, identity card readers, secure access systems, and set-top boxes that accept subscriber modules. Housed in a 28-TSSOP package (0.173" body width, 4.40 mm wide), the DS8024-RJX+ is a surface-mount device intended for automated assembly. The fine-pitch TSSOP footprint demands careful PCB layout — keep trace lengths short between the IC and the card connector to maintain signal integrity at the analog interface.
Lifecycle and Sourcing
It is also ROHS3 Compliant, so it meets the latest EU hazardous-substance restrictions without exemptions that could expire. For a BOM line that needs this part, the active status removes obsolescence risk for new designs. Standard lead times apply through the authorized distribution channel. Because the part is specialized for smart card interfaces, dual-sourcing options are limited — verify second-source availability early if production volume warrants it.
Package and Handling
Tube orientation matters for pick-and-place feeders — confirm the tube polarity with the manufacturer's drawing before loading.
