The MFRC530 is part of the latest series of highly integrated modelsCard reader ICfor contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. The seriesCard reader ICOffer:
- Excellent modulation and demodulation performance for passive contactless communication
- Various methods and protocols
- Compatible with CLRC632, MFRC500, MFRC531, and SLRC400 pins
All ISO/IEC 14443 A protocol layers are supported
The receiver module provides a robust and efficient demodulation/decoding circuit scheme that is compatible with transponder signals (see Section 9.10 on page 31). The digital module manages the complete ISO/IEC 14443 A standard frame and error detection (parity and CRC). In addition, it supports a fast Crypto1 security algorithm for authenticating MIFARE products (see section 9.13 on page 37).
The internal transmitter module (see section 9.9 on page 28) directly drives antennas designed for proximity operation up to 100 mm away without any additional active circuitry.
The parallel interface can be connected directly to any 8-bit microprocessor to ensure reader/terminal design flexibility. Serial peripheral interface (SPI) compatibility is also supported (see section 9.1.4 on page 9).
