PN5331B3HN: USB NFC integrated solution

The PN533 is a highly integrated transceiver module for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz based on the 80C51 microcontroller core. It supports 6 different operating modes:

The PN533 implements a demodulator and decoder for signals from ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE compatible cards and transponders. The PN533 handles the complete ISO/IEC 14443A framing and error detection (Parity & CRC).

The PN533 supports MIFARE 1 KB or MIFARE 4 KB emulation products. The PN533 supports contactless communication using MIFARE Higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s in both directions.

The PN533 can demodulate and decode FeliCa coded signals. The PN533 handles the FeliCa framing and error detection. The PN533 supports contactless communication using FeliCa Higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s in both directions.

The PN533 supports layers 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443 B Reader/Writer communication scheme, except anticollision. This must be implemented in firmware as well as upper layers.

In card emulation mode, the PN533 is able to answer to a Reader/Writer command either according to the FeliCa or ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE card interface scheme. The PN533 generates the load modulation signals, either from its transmitter or from the LOADMOD pin driving an external active circuit. A complete secure card functionality is only possible in combination with a secure IC using the NFC-WI/S²C interface.

Compliant to ECMA 340 and ISO/IEC 18092 NFCIP-1 Passive and Active communication modes, the PN533 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.

The PN533 transceiver can be connected to an external antenna for Reader/Writer or Card/PICC modes, without any additional active component.

The PN533 supports the following host interfaces:

PN533 has also a master I²C interface enabling the drive on an I²C peripheral (i.e. memory).

In addition, a power switch is included to supply power to a secure IC.
