  • MULTIPLE SENSOR DETECTOR SYSTEMS AND DETECTION METHODS OF MAGNETIC CARDS AND DEVICES
    Publication number: 20150193679
    Abstract: A powered card may include a plurality of types of sensors used to detect a read-head of a card reader. Detection of a read-head may include comparing characteristics of a detection event to characteristics of an expected detection event and/or a sequence of expected detection events. An inductive read-head sensor may include a coil of a dynamic magnetic stripe communication device.

  • INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR TESTING USING A HIGH-SPEED INPUT/OUTPUT INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20120324302
    Abstract: An integrated circuit configured for testing is described. The integrated circuit includes a high-speed input/output interface. The integrated circuit also includes a test controller coupled to the high-speed input/output interface. The integrated circuit further includes test circuitry coupled to the test controller. The test controller controls the test circuitry based on controller protocol test information from the high-speed input/output interface.
