1. General description
The PN7462 family is a family of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0-based NFC microcontrollers
offering high performance and low power consumption. It has a simple instruction set and
memory addressing along with a reduced code size compared to existing architectures.
PN7462 family offers all in one solutions, with features such as NFC, microcontroller,
optional contact smart card reader, and software in a single chip. It operates at CPU
frequencies of up to 20 MHz.
The family includes the following derivatives to fit every specific need:
• PN7462: NFC microcontroller, 160 kB Flash memory, and an ISO 7816/EMVCo
contact interface
• PN7362: NFC microcontroller with 160 kB Flash memory
• PN7360: NFC microcontroller with 80 kB Flash memory
The peripheral complement of the PN7462 family microcontrollers includes 160/80 kB of
flash memory, 12 kB of SRAM data memory and 4 kB EEPROM. It also includes one host
interface with either high-speed mode I2C-bus, SPI, USB or high-speed UART, and two
master interfaces, SPI and fast-mode plus I2C-bus. Four general-purpose counter/timers,
a random number generator, one CRC coprocessor and up to 21 general-purpose I/O
pins are also available.
The PN7462 family NFC microcontrollers offer a one chip solution to build contactless
applications. It is equipped with a highly integrated high-power output NFC-IC for
contactless communication at 13.56 MHz enabling EMV-compliance on RF level, without
additional external active components.
PN7462 family supports the following operating modes:
• ISO/IEC 14443-A and B, MIFARE
• JIS X 6319-4 (comparable with FeliCa scheme)
• ISO/IEC 15693, ICODE, ISO/IEC 18000-3 mode 3
• NFC protocols - tag reader/writer, P2P
• ISO/IEC 14443- type A card emulation
• EMVCo compliance
By integrating an ISO/IEC 7816 interface on a single chip in the PN7462, it provides a
solution for dual interface smart card readers. PN7462 contact interface offers a high level
of security for the card by performing current limiting, short-circuit detection, ESD
