Smart card interface in SO28 — what this part is
The NXP TDA8024AT/C1118 is a smart card interface IC in an SO28 package, designed to handle the electrical interface between a microcontroller and a smart card reader. It integrates level shifting, supply generation, and fault detection for ISO 7816-compliant cards. Typical applications include payment terminals, set-top boxes, and identity verification systems where a secure card slot is required.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence concern
The TDA8024AT/C1118 carries an active product status, meaning NXP continues to manufacture and support the part. No last-time-buy window or end-of-life notice applies. For a BOM line that requires a smart card interface, this part can be specified into new designs without worrying about near-term discontinuation.
Bulk packaging — what it means for your line
For high-volume pick-and-place, you will need to transfer to feeder-compatible packaging or order a reeled variant if NXP offers one. For low-to-mid volume assembly or hand-loading, bulk is straightforward.
