MF RC500

The MF RC500 is tailored to fit the requirements of various applications using contactless communication based on ISO/IEC 14443A standard where cost-effectiveness, small size, high performance with a single voltage supply are important.
· Public transport terminals
· Handheld terminals
· On board units
· Contactless PC terminals
· Metering
· Contactless public phones

The MF RC500 is member of a new family of highly integrated reader ICs for contactless communication on 13,56MHz. This MF RC500 new reader IC family utilises an outstanding modulation and demodulation concept completely integrated for all major kinds of passive contactless communication methods and protocols on 13,56MHz.

The MF RC500 supports all layers of ISO14443A.

The internal transmitter part is able to drive a proximity antenna (up to 100mm) directly without additional active circuitry.The MF RC500 receiver part provides a robust and efficient implementation of a demodulation and decoding circuitry for signals of ISO14443A compatible transponders.The digital part handles ISO 14443A framing and error detection (Parity & CRC). Additionally it supports the fast CRYPTO 1 stream cipher to authenticate MIFAREÒ Classic (MIFARE® Standard, MIFARE® Light) products.A comfortable parallel interface which can be directly connected to any 8-bit Controller gives high flexibility for Reader / Terminal design.
