1. DATA The DATA output level indicates the value of the bit being decoded during a CLOCK pulse It is a low level for ones 1 and a high level for zeros 0 The DATA signal s level is steady at the rising and falling edges and during the low level of the CLOCK pulse DATA CLOCK AND CARD PRESENT SIG NALS The following is a timing diagram of typical DATA and CLOCK signals from ID TECH electronics CARD PRESENT CLOCK l DATA i l BIT VALUE i o ya o 0 4 o CLOCK The CLOCK output is narrow pulse normally high and goes low when data is valid The data level is stable at both the rising and falling edges of the CLOCK pulse CLOCK pulse width is typically 32 microseconds CARD PRESENT The CARD PRESENT signal indicates data is being read from the media being passed through the slot It will not switch until flux reversals magnetic pulses have been detected After the flux reversals have been detected CARD PRESENT goes low It stays low throughout the read ing process and for 5 to 10 milliseconds after the last flux reversal is read Typically CARD PRESENT is used to signal the start and finish of a card read It may also be used as an interrupt signal for alerting the firmware that the reading operation is in process DATA The DATA output level indicates the value of the bit being decoded during a CLOCK pulse It is a low level for ones 1 and a high level for zeros 0 The DATA signal s le2. bi directionally without any pre conditioning of the electronics although the host system must employ enough data storage to ensure it can properly recognize the decoded bit sequence DESCRIPTION The MiniMag compact magnetic stripe reader can read 1 2 or 3 tracks of magnetic stripe information Power when the MiniMag is connected to the host via a decoder box is obtained from the decoder box Operating current is 4mA maximum for a 3 track configuration The electronics are based on ASIC technology designed for use with mag netic stripe cards encoded with F2F ANSI and ISO conforming data The MiniMag reliably processes data encoded within ANSI and ISO standards on both high and low coercivity magnetic media The circuit is designed to read cards demagnetized down to 30 or 40 of ISO and ANSI signal levels on tracks 1 3 or 2 respectively These reading characteristics are designed to insure that the MiniMag will reliably read real world cards In order to insure reliable reading under varying conditions the MiniMag will reliably read magnetic media at speeds from 3 inches per second IPS to 60 IPS with typical accelerations The output signals consist of a DATA and CLOCK for each encoded track The electronics operate from 2 6VDC to 5 5VDC ACARD PRESENT signal is provided to alert the host when magnetic media is passed through the reader It is activated after magnetic pulses have been detected and stays valid until after
