*In Legacy mode and depending on the card IC

USB PC/SC interface

• Standard USB CCID profile, compliant with PC/SC version 2 specifications,
• USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s), compliant with USB 1.1, powered by the bus,
• Driver available for both Windows XP/Vista and Linux,
• Embedded APDU interpreter, giving easy access to memory contactless cards (Mifare and others) through classical READ BINARY and UPDATE BINARY commands,
• Sample software and development kit for PC/SC available freely.

Legacy mode

This product may also be used in so-called Legacy mode, for a smooth migration of applications already developed for earlier SpringCard contactless couplers (CSB4 and CSB5) :

• Standard USB CDC-ACM profile, seen as a virtual serial communication port,
• USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s), compliant with USB 1.1, powered by the bus,
• Driver available for both Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Linux,
• SpringProx API, sample software and SpringProx SDK available for registered developers.

A few applications...

• Identication of users or of valuables,
• Loyalty, private electronic purse, micro-payment,
• e-passport or other e-governement document,
• Contactless card personnalization and issuing.
