Abstract:
A host controller, a secure element, and a serial peripheral interface communications system are provided. The host controller is configured to connect to a secure element via a serial peripheral interface and includes: a resume signal generator configured to generate a first resume signal indicating a start of communication with the secure element; a transmitter configured to transmit the first resume signal to the secure element; a slave select line activator configured to activate a slave select line after the first resume signal is transmitted; and a clock controller configured to transmit a first clock signal to the secure element over a clock line based on the slave select line being activated, and the transmitter is further configured to transmit a first signal containing first data to the secure element over a master-out slave-in line (an MOSI line) while the first clock signal is being transmitted.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device includes a battery, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a near field communication (NFC) integrated circuit connected to the battery and to the PMIC, and an internal device connected to the NFC integrated circuit and configured to support an NFC operation, wherein the NFC integrated circuit includes a power supply path control circuit configured to cut off a first power supply path from the PMIC to the internal device when the NFC integrated circuit is in an on-state or an operating state and to form a second power supply path from the battery to the internal device to supply power to the internal device based on existence or non-existence of a first supply voltage provided from the PMIC.
Abstract:
