MFRC631
MFRC631 is NFC frontend IC manufactured by NXP Semiconductors.
description
MFRC631, the cost efficient NFC frontend for payment.
The MFRC631 multi-protocol NFC frontend IC supports the following operating modes:
- Read/write mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443 type A and MIFARE Classic munication mode
- Read/write mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443B
The MFRC631’s internal transmitter is able to drive a reader/writer antenna designed to municate with ISO/IEC 14443A and MIFARE Classic IC-based cards and transponders without additional active circuitry. The digital module manages the plete ISO/IEC 14443A framing and error detection functionality (parity and CRC).
The MFRC631 supports MIFARE Classic with 1K memory, MIFARE Classic with 4K memory, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Ultralight C, MIFARE Plus and MIFARE DESFire products. The MFRC631 supports higher transfer speeds of the MIFARE product family up to 848 kbit/s in both directions.
The MFRC631 supports layer 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443B reader/writer munication scheme except anticollision. The anticollision needs to be implemented in the firmware of the host controller as well as in the upper layers.
The following host interfaces are supported:
- Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
- Serial UART (similar to RS232 with voltage levels dependent on pin voltage supply)
- I2C-bus interface (two versions are implemented: I2C and I2CL) The MFRC631 supports the connection of a secure access module (SAM). A dedicated separate I2C interface is implemented for a connection of the SAM. The SAM can be used for high secure key storage and acts as a very performant crypto coprocessor. A dedicated SAM is available for connection to the MFRC631.
In this document the term „MIFARE Classic card“ refers to a MIFARE Classic IC-based contactless card.
