1. General description
The PN533 is a highly integrated transceiver module for contactless communication at
13.56 MHz based on the 80C51 microcontroller core. A dedicated ROM code is
implemented to handle different RF protocols.
1.1 RF protocols
The PN533 supports four main operating modes:
• ISO/IEC 14443A Reader/Writer (including MIFARE product family)
• ISO/IEC 14443B Reader/Writer
• FeliCa Reader/Writer
• ISO/IEC 18092, ECMA 340 Peer-to-Peer
The PN533 hardware implements a demodulator and decoder for signals from
ISO/IEC 14443A compatible cards and transponders. The PN533 hardware handles the
complete ISO/IEC 14443A framing and error detection and upper layers of this protocol
(i.e. ISO/IEC 14443-4) are implemented in firmware.
The PN533 supports all MIFARE products (e.g. MIFARE crypto method). It supports
contactless communication using higher transfer speeds up to 848 kbit/s in both
directions.
The PN533 hardware supports layers 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443B Reader/Writer
communication scheme, except anticollision. Anticollision is implemented in firmware as
well as upper layers (i.e. ISO/IEC 14443-4).
The PN533 can demodulate and decode FeliCa coded signals. The PN533 handles the
FeliCa framing and error detection. It supports contactless communication using FeliCa
Higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s in both directions.
Compliant to ECMA 340 and ISO/IEC 18092 NFCIP-1 Passive and Active communication
modes, the PN5331B3HN/C270 offers the possibility to communicate to another NFCIP-1
compliant device, at transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s. The PN533 handles the complete
NFCIP-1 framing and error detection.
1.2 Interfaces
The PN533 supports USB 2.0 full speed interface (bus powered or host powered mode).
PN533 also has a master I²C interface enabling the drive of following peripherals:
• An external EEPROM
• A TDA8029 smart card reader
