Normally a Phoenix or a Smartmouse-interface is connected via a serialcable and has a numerous of switches or jumpers to switch between different oscillators. Normally they also requires a DC-adapter for powersupply.

AD-Teknik´s new Phoenix/Smartmouse-interface are therefore revolutionary because it connect through the USB-port and it can be set in 6 different modes by the software. No extra powersupply needed because of the USB-interface.

The whole design is very compact and it is covered by a orange/transparent plastic box.

Certified drivers for Windows XP guarantees maximum comp ability with third part.

The driver creates a virtual serialport(VCP) in Windows which all program can use just as any normal serialport. The traffic on the VCP are controlled to FullSpeed USB-connection and ends up as serialsignals inside the Phoenix/Smartmouse-interface without the software knowing about it.

USB-cable are included with the Phoenix/Smartmouse-interface
What is Phoenix, Smartmouse?

There are today numerous software's on the internet that are used to communicate with different types of smartcards that follows ISO7816(T=0) standard such as WinExplorer.
Common for these programs are that they need a Phoenix- or a Smartmouse-interface to communicate with the smartcard.

The interface (really a very simple construction, it was originally created by hobbyists who wanted to communicate with smartcards)  transform the signal to/from the serialport of the computer to levels that the smartcard can handle. Then an oscillator is provided to the card so it can handle the commands sent to it.

Normally a oscillator at 3.579575MHz are used because the ISO7816-standard originally uses a speed that is "oscillator" divided with 372 that gives approx. 9600 bps.

The difference between Phoenix and Smartmouse is the polarity on the reset-signal.
