CLRC663
Contactless reader IC
The CLRC663 is supporting the P2P passive initiator mode in accordance with
ISO/IEC 18092.
The CLRC663 supports the vicinity protocol according to ISO/IEC15693, EPC UID and
ISO/IEC 18000-3 mode 3/ EPC Class-1 HF.
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 CLRC663 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 CLRC663.
