Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the use and structure of removable electronic circuit cards having different mechanical and/or electrical interfaces.
- Electronic circuit cards including non-volatile memory cards, have been commercially implemented according to a number of well-known standards.
- Memory cards are used with personal computers, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, portable audio players and other host electronic devices for the storage of large amounts of data.
- Such cards usually contain a non-volatile semiconductor memory cell array along with a controller that controls operation of the memory cell array and interfaces with a host to which the card connected.
- Several of the same type of card may be interchanged in a host card slot designed to accept that type of card.
- a card made according to one standard is usually not useable with a host designed to operate with a card of another standard.
- PC Card Standard provides specifications for three types of PC Cards. Originally released in 1990, the PC Card Standard now contemplates three forms of a rectangular card measuring 85.6 mm. by 54.0 mm., having thicknesses of 3.3 mm. (Type I), 5.0 mm. (Type II) and 10.5 mm. (Type III). An electrical connector, which engages pins of a slot in which the card is removably inserted, is provided along a narrow edge of the card. PC Card slots are included in current notebook personal computers, as well as in other host equipment, particularly portable devices.
- the PC Card Standard is a product of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). The latest release of the PC Card Standard from the PCMCIA is dated February 1995, which standard is incorporated herein by this reference.
- PCMCIA Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
- CFTM card that is functionally compatible with the PC Card but is much smaller.
- the CFTM card is rectangularly shaped with dimensions of 43 mm. by 36 mm. and a thickness of 3.3 mm., and has a female pin connector along one edge.
- the CFTM card is widely used with cameras for the storage of video data.
- a passive adapter card is available, in which the CFTM card fits, that then can be inserted into a PC Card slot of a host computer or other device.
- the controller within the CFTM card operates with the card's flash memory to provide an ATA interface at its connector. That is, a host with which a CFTM card is connected interfaces with the card as if it is a disk drive. Specifications for the card have been developed by the CompactFlash Association, a current version of these specifications being 1.4, which standard is incorporated herein by this reference.
- the SmartMediaTM card is about one-third the size of a PC Card, having dimensions of 45.0 mm. by 37.0 mm. and is very thin at only 0.76 mm. thick. Contacts are provided in a defined pattern as areas on a surface of the card. Its specifications have been defined by the Solid State Floppy Disk Card (SSFDC) Forum, which began in 1996. It contains flash memory, particularly of the NAND type.
- SSFDC Solid State Floppy Disk Card
- the SmartMediaTM card is intended for use with portable electronic devices, particularly cameras and audio devices, for storing large amounts of data.
- a memory controller is included either in the host device or in an adapter card in another format such as one according to the PC Card standard. Physical and electrical specifications for the SmartMediaTM card have been issued by the SSFDC Forum, a current version of this standard being 1.0, which standard is incorporated herein by this reference.
- MMCTM MultiMediaCard
- MMCTM MultiMediaCard System Specification
- MMCA MultiMediaCard Association
- Version 3.1 of that Specification, dated June 2001 is expressly incorporated herein by this reference.
- MMCTM products having varying storage capacity up to 128 megabytes in a single card are currently available from SanDisk Corporation.
- the MMCTM card is rectangularly shaped with a size similar to that of a postage stamp.
- the card's dimensions are 32.0 mm. by 24.0 mm. and 1.4 mm. thick, with a row of electrical contacts on a surface of the card along a narrow edge that also contains a cut-off corner.
- a modified version of the MMCTM card is the later Secure Digital (SD) card.
- SD Card has the same rectangular size as the MMC card but with an increased thickness (2.1 mm.) in order to accommodate an additional memory chip when that is desired.
- a primary difference between these two cards is the inclusion in the SD card of security features for its use to store and copy protect proprietary data such as that of music.
- Another difference between them is that the SD Card includes additional data contacts in order to enable faster data transfer between the card and a host.
- the other contacts of the SD Card are the same as those of the MMCTM card in order that sockets designed to accept the SD Card can also be made to accept the MMCTM card. This is described in PCT published application no.
- a memory controller includes a microprocessor that manages operation of the memory and performs some limited operations on data being written to or read from the memory. Specifications for the SD card are available to member companies from the SD Association (SDA). [0008] Another type of memory card is the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), the specifications of which are published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
- SIM Subscriber Identity Module
- GSM 11.11 a recent version being technical specification ETSI TS 100 977 V8.3.0 (2000-08), entitled “Digital Cellular Telecommunications System (Phase 2+); Specification of the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment (SIM - ME) Interface,” (GSM 11.11 Version 8.3.0 Release 1999).
- ETSI TS 100 977 V8.3.0 2000-08
- SIM - ME Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment
- GSM 11.11 Version 8.3.0 Release 1999 This specification is hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
- Two types of SLM cards are specified: an JJD-1 SLM and a Plug-in SIM. In practice, a primary component of each SLM card is a SIM integrated circuit chip.
- the ID-1 SLM card has a format and layout according to the ISO/EEC
- the ISO/LEC 7810 standard is entitled “Identification cards - Physical characteristics,” second edition, August 1995.
- the ISO/IEC 7816 standard has the general title of "Identification cards - Integrated Circuit(s) Cards with Contacts,” and consists of parts 1-10 that carry individual dates from 1994 through 2000. These standards, copies of which are available from the ISO/IEC in Geneva, Switzerland, are expressly incorporated herein by this reference.
- the LD-1 SLM card is generally the size of a credit card, having dimensions of 85.60 mm. by 53.98 mm., with rounder corners, and a thickness of 0.76 mm.
- Such a card may have only memory or may also include a microprocessor, the latter often being referred to as a "Smart Card.”
- Smart Card One application of a Smart Card is as a debit card where an initial credit balance is decreased every time it is used to purchase a product or a service.
- the Plug-in SIM is a very small card, smaller than the MMCTM and SD cards.
- the GSM 11.11 specification referenced above calls for this card to be a rectangle 25 mm. by 15 mm., with one corner cut off for orientation, and with the same thickness as the ID-1 SLM card.
- a primary use of the Plug-in SIM card is in mobile telephones and other portable devices. In both types of cards including the SLM, eight electrical contacts (but with as few as five being used) are specified in the ISO/LEC 7816 standard to be arranged on a surface of the card for contact by a host receptacle.
- One function of the SLM provides a level of security for the device in which it is used.
- the device is authenticated by the communications network sending a random number to the device that is processed by a given algorithm, and the result is sent back to the network.
- the network compares that result with one it calculates itself by use of the same algorithm. If the results match, communication by the device over the network is enabled.
- a subscriber authentication key is stored in the SLM for use in this and other security algorithms.
- the SLM can also operate to control and support various operations of the device in which it is removably installed.
- the SLM integrated circuit chip is conveniently incorporated within the memory card. This is described in PCT published application no. WO 02/13021 of Robert Wallace, Wesley Brewer and Yosi Pinto, published February 14, 2002, which publication is incorporated herein by this reference.
- a SLM chip within either a MMC or a SD card shares the memory card's external contacts for access by a host system with which the memory card is connected.
- Sony Corporation has commercialized a non-volatile memory card, sold as the Memory StickTM, that has yet another set of specifications. Its shape is that of an elongated rectangle having electrical contacts on a surface adjacent one of its short sides. The electrical interface through these contacts with a host to which it is connected is unique. No microprocessor or other processing unit is included in the card but rather the host with which it is removably inserted provides the necessary •intelligence.
- a single small card combines the functions of two or more of the card standards.
- the combination card has a physical arrangement according to either one of these two or more card standards, or, alternatively, according to yet another card standard.
- One of the functions included in the card is a significant amount of nonvolatile memory and a memory controller of a first card standard.
- the function of a second card standard operates to control access to that memory system and/or encrypt and decrypt data stored in the memory.
- operations according to the second card standard are controlled by the memory controller of the first card standard.
- protocol standards of both of the first and second card standards are separately implemented in one package having a physical shape according to either one of the first or second card standards, either sharing a common set of external package contacts or utilizing separate sets of contacts according to both of the first and second card standards.
- the SLM function is combined with the nonvolatile flash memory and its controller according to the MMC or SD card standards.
- the physical format of the combined card is made to be that of one of the Plug-in SIM, MMCTM or SD card.
- the Plug-in SLM card format is used with a few external electrical contacts being added to those of the Plug-in SIM standard as may be necessary for operation of the memory according to either of the MMCTM or the SD standards.
- a SIM integrated circuit chip is included in a card with physical characteristics and contacts according to either of the MMC or SD card standards.
- the SLM chip is connected with the memory controller in a manner to both be accessible by the host through the card contacts and to operate with the controller.
- a security code inputted to the card from the host can, for example, be verified on the SIM chip and the memory controller responsively enabled to operate the card's memory when the inputted security code matches that stored in the SEM chip.
- Figures 1A and IB show one example, in respective physical and logical views, of the SIM function and non- volatile memory combined into a single card of one configuration and with separate sets of external contacts provided;
- Figures 2A and 2B show another example, in respective physical and logical views, of the SIM function and non- volatile memory combined into a single card of a different configuration and with separate sets of external contacts provided;
- Figure 3 schematically illustrates a system including the combination of the SLM function and non-volatile memory in a single card with a single set of external contacts;
- Figure 4 is an electronic block diagram of the system of Figure 3, showing details of its controller
- Figure 5 is a circuit diagram of a portion of the system of Figure 4 when implemented in a card having external contacts of a SD card;
- Figures 6A, 6B and 6C illustrate three of the operational connections of the switches of Figure 5;
- Figure 7 illustrates a command data structure used with the card system illustrated in Figure 4.
- Figure 8 is an operating flow chart of the card system of Figure 4.
- Figure 9 shows an SD card in which the system of Figures 4 and 5 may be embodied
- Figure 10 is a circuit diagram of a portion of the system of Figure 4 when implemented in a card having external contacts of a Plug-in SIM card and additional contacts;
- Figure 11 shows a card according to the Plug-in SLM format with a modified set of contacts in which the system of Figures 4 and 10 may be embodied.
- FIG. 1A and IB An example memory card 11 is illustrated in Figures 1A and IB to have two sets 13 and 15 of electrical contacts on an outside surface that follow two different existing card standards.
- the contacts 13 are provided in a row along a short edge of the card that has a cut off corner, following either the MMC or SD card specifications referenced above.
- the MMC standard calls for seven contacts Ml - M7.
- the SD standard uses those same seven contacts plus additional contacts S8 and S9. While the MMC specifications call for a single contact through which data is passed to and from a non-volatile memory within the card, the SD specifications use four data contacts for faster data transmission, as described above.
- the contacts 13 are connected with a memory controller 17 and flash EEPROM memory 19 within the card, according to either the MMC or SD standards.
- the controller 17 and memory 19 may be implemented on separate integrated circuit chips or combined on the same chip.
- the set 15 of contacts may be placed on the same side of the card 11 as the set 13 of contacts, or on the opposite side.
- the ISO/LEC 7816 standard contemplates the use of eight contacts CI - C8, although contacts C4 and C8 are not currently used.
- the remaining six contacts are connected with a SLM 21 within the card, according to the GSM 11.11 specification discussed above, which may be a separate integrated circuit chip that is commercially available.
- the SIM 21 may alternatively be combined on a single integrated circuit chip with either or both of the controller 17 and memory 19 but this is more complicated and expensive.
- the card 11 has the physical size and other attributes of either of the MMC or SD cards, depending upon whether the contacts 13 follow the MMC or SD specifications, respectively.
- the SLM 21 can operate as it is intended, namely to enable operation of the cellular telephone or other host device in which the card 11 is installed.
- This SLM function can operate independently of the memory 19 and its controller 17, wherein the SLM and memory functions are simply provided in the same card.
- the SLM 21 can also be connected with the memory controller 17, such as by lines 23, in order to enable access to the memory 19 at the same time that the host device in which the card 11 is placed has been enabled. This prevents access to the memory 19 except when the card 11 is inserted into the one host device, or number of devices, for which it has been configured to enable.
- the SLM 21 may be used to enable access to the memory 19 in any host device when the user provides the correct data signals, such as a password, to the SLM 21 through the contacts 15.
- FIG. 2A and 2B Another example card 12 is illustrated in Figures 2A and 2B to contain the same functional components as the card 11 ( Figures 1A and IB) but with a different form factor.
- the card 12 conforms to the Plug-in SLM card standard, as does a set 14 of contacts. But to this is added a row of contacts 16 that communicate with the memory 19 through the controller 17.
- the contacts 16 are positioned along the narrow end of the card that contains a cut-off corner, and need not conform to a pattern of contacts of any existing card standard.
- their operation may be integrated to an extent that allows use of a card with a single set 25 of contacts, as illustrated in Figure 3.
- the format of the contacts 25 may be from one of the MMC, SD or Plug-in SLM card specifications, or modifications thereof, or according to some other published card standard. Other physical characteristics will usually be according to the same standard as the contacts, or at least primarily the same.
- communication with the SLM 21 is through the memory controller 17.
- the controller 17, in addition to controlling operation of the memory 19, is configured to recognize and pass SLM commands through to the SLM 21 without affecting operation of the memory 19.
- Memory commands received through the contacts 25 are handled in a normal manner to control the memory 19 without causing any effect upon the SLM 21.
- the SLM 21 communicates directly with the controller 17 to provide access to the flash memory 19 or otherwise operate the memory 19.
- Figure 4 shows a more specific implementation of the system of Figure
- the controller 17 includes a host interface 27 connected with the card contacts 25 and to the lines 23 of the SLM 21.
- a processor 29 Central to the controller 17 is a processor 29, in the form of a microprocessor or micro-controller.
- the processor 29 operates in a normal manner to control the memory 19 through a memory interface 31.
- the processor 29 also recognizes and passes commands and data associated with the SLM 21 between the card contacts 25 and the SLM 21, without any significant processing.
- a buffer memory 35 is used for temporarily storing data to be programmed into, or just having been read from, the memory 19. Random-access-memory 37 and read-only-memory 39 are typically also provided for use by the processor 29.
- commands for the SLM 21 may be made to be application specific commands that are described in the MMC system specification (APP_CMD).
- APP_CMD application specific commands
- the processor 29 examines the next command received from the host immediately thereafter for its instructions. That next command is, according to the MMC specifications, is executed as part of operating the memory 19.
- a command that follows the APP_CMD command may be a command that accesses the SLM 21 by using the ISO/LEC 7816 specifications.
- the processor 29 causes the command and any associated data packet to be sent to the SLM 21. No operation is performed on the memory in response to such an ISO/EEC 7816 command.
- the SLM 21 receives and executes such a command according to the GSM 11.11 or other specification to which the SIM 21 conforms.
- Figure 5 illustrates an example wiring connection of a front-end of the host interface 27 when the signal protocols of the card contacts 25 (Ml - M7, S8 and S9) are according to the SD standard.
- the lines from each of the contacts M2 - M7 are routed directly to other components of the memory controller.
- the lines from the card contacts Ml, S8 and S9 are connected with respective switching circuits 26, 28 and 30 that make connections in response to switching control signals in lines 32.
- Each of these switching circuits is provided with three possible connections, as shown individually in Figures 6A - 6C, using switch 26 as an example.
- the card contact S8 is connected with the DAT1 line to the memory controller, according to the SD card specification.
- the other two switches 28 and 30 operate in the same manner but are connected to different lines.
- the switch 28 is connected with the card contact Ml, the SLM contact C3 (clock) and the memory line DAT3.
- the switch 30 is connected with the card contact S9, the SLM contact C7 (input/output) and the memory line DAT2.
- the switches 26, 28 and 30 can thus be seen to confroUably connect three of the card pins to either the memory controller 17 and memory 19 or to three terminals of the SLM 21, or, as a third connection, to connect those three terminals of the SLM 21 with the controller and memory.
- the SLM power (V C c) contact CI and ground contact C5 are permanently connected with card contacts M4 and M3, respectively, that also supply power to the controller 17 and memory 19.
- the switching circuits 26, 28 and 30 may be implemented in a variety of ways including by use of a group of transistors, a set of bi-directional drivers, or a collection of logic gates to ensure that a logic signal is transferred between the various terminals as described herein.
- the three shared contacts Ml, S8 and S9 of the SD card are three data contacts added by the SD card specification to the single data contact of the MMC. This leaves the fourth data contact M7 that is useable by the controller 17 and memory 19 for data transfers at all times, even when the SLM 21 is connected to others of the card contacts or directly to the controller.
- Preferred physical characteristics (including external contacts) of a card implementing the circuits of Figure 5 is the SD card, as shown in Figure 9.
- Figure 7 illustrates an example command data structure and a flowchart of Figure 8 outlines responses of the controller 17 to the receipt of a command.
- the processor 29 determines whether it is such an application specific command (block 49). If it is not, the processor executes the command (block 51) as part of the normal operation of controlling the memory 19. If the initial command 41 does contain the MMC application specific command, the processing continues to determine (block 53) whether the next received command (43 of Figure 7) relates to the SLM 21 or not. If it does not, the processor executes the command according to the MMC specification (block 55) in the operation of the memory 19.
- the command and all other data associated with the command are directed (block 57) to the SLM 21. Whichever of the three paths 51, 55 or 57 are taken in response to decoding a received command, a final command 45 ( Figure 7) causes execution of the command to terminate.
- Another example card that includes the SLM function with the MMC or
- FIG. 10 shows a circuit at the front end of the controller 17 ( Figure 4) that of the same type as that of Figure 5 except that the single set of external card contacts 25 is a modified version of the SLM card, as shown in Figure 11.
- the contacts CI - C8 are positioned on the face of the card according to the ISO/IEC 7816 specifications.
- Two additional contacts C9 and CIO have been added so that the single set of contacts can handle both the flash memory, through its controller, and the SEM functions.
- the remaining physical characteristics of the card of Figure 11 follow the those of the SEM card except that it may be thicker in order to accommodate the additional memory and controller integrated circuit chips.
- contacts CI - C5 and C7 - C9 of the card of Figure 11 are either connected directly through to the memory controller or through switching circuits 59, 61 and 63 to either the memory controller or the SEM 21 in response to a control signal on lines 65.
- These switching circuits are connected and operate in the same manner as described above with respect to Figures 6A - 6C.
- Contacts C2, C3 and C7 are shared in this way. These switches also allow connection of the SEM 21 directly to the memory controller 17, as described above.
- the controller 17, the memory 19 and the SEM 21 all receive power from common contacts CI and C5.
- This card is preferably operated in the same manner as described above with respect to Figures 7 and 8.
