Abstract:
The present invention provides a security module having a communication interface being capable of operating according to any from a selection from a plurality of predetermined operation modes or communication protocols. The security module further comprises a voltage detector to detect the voltage on the module's power supply connection. Depending on the value of the detected voltage or to which of a plurality of predetermined voltage ranges the detected voltage may be categorized, the security module is made to function according to one from the plurality of predetermined communication protocols. According to an embodiment of the present invention the plurality of communication protocols require that the security module operate at a plurality of different frequencies

Claim (Index 5):
A method of communicating with a security module by a device, the method comprising:\n supplying, by a clock generator, a first clock having a first clock frequency to a frequency divider configured to divide the frequency of the first clock to generate a divided clock signal, a frequency multiplier configured to multiply the frequency of the first clock signal to generate a multiplied clock signal, or both; multiplexing, using a multiplexor, to select between the first clock or the divided clock signal or the multiplied clock signal for driving at least a first one of a plurality of terminals of a smartcard reader; providing a power supply voltage to a second one of the plurality of terminals, the voltage being variable among a plurality of predetermined voltage ranges; operating the device according to any one from a plurality of predetermined operation modes, each of the predetermined operation modes having a frequency of operation corresponding to a frequency of one of the received clock signal, divided clock signal, or multiplied clock signal, the predetermined operation modes including any communication protocol from a plurality of different communication protocols or any class from a plurality of classes of a communication protocol; and switching, by the device, to a different one from the plurality of operating modes, causing the power supply to supply a different one from the plurality of voltage ranges corresponding to the different one from the plurality of operation modes, and causing the multiplexer to select between the received clock signal or divided clock signal or multiplied clock signal corresponding to the different one from the plurality of operation modes.
