NXP | PN5321A3HN/C106;55

NXP Semiconductors’ controller IC PN532 is a highly integrated transmission module including a microcontroller which reduces the processing power from the host controller. The PN532 offers proximity connectivity targeting 13.56MHz reader/writer applications for POS terminals and handheld devices and is also capable of acting as a smart card when combined with a secure element.

Key features:

• Reader/writer functionality compatible to ISO/IEC 14443 A&B, MIFARE, FeliCa and NFC Forum tag types (MIFARE Ultralight, Topaz, FeliCa, MIFARE DESFire)
• Full peer-to-peer functionality
• Card emulation functionality compatible to ISO/IEC 14443 A when connected to secure controller (SmartMX P5CN072)
• Up to 10cm operating distance
• Possibility to act as POS Terminal and perform PayPasscompliant transactions when connected to NXPrecommended RF amplifier
• Optimized 80C51 core processor with embedded firmware in ROM
• Multiple interfaces (UART, SPI I2C)
• Integrated MIFARE cipher crypto1

Key benefits:

• Relieve the host controller from real time processing tasks
• Supporting the most widely deployed contactless protocols (ISO 14443 A&B and Felica)
• Support for battery low mode in card emulation
• Small footprint (HVQFN40 6mm*6mm*1mm)
• Application notes to optimize antenna design, software
• Easy access to NFC technology, benefiting from NXP’s expertise and experience with major device manufacturers
