1. Introduction
This document describes the functionality and electrical specifications of the
transceiver IC PN512.
The PN512 is a highly integrated transceiver IC for contactless communication at
13.56 MHz. This transceiver IC utilizes an outstanding modulation and demodulation
concept completely integrated for different kinds of contactless communication methods
and protocols at 13.56 MHz.
1.1 Different available versions
The PN512 is available in three versions:
PN5120A0HN1/C2 (HVQFN32), PN5120A0HN/C2 (HVQFN40) and PN5120A0ET/C2
(TFBGA64), hereafter named as version 2.0
PN512AA0HN1/C2 (HVQFN32) and PN512AA0HN1/C2BI (HVQFN32 with Burn In),
hereafter named as industrial version, fulfilling the automotive qualification stated in
AEC-Q100 grade 3 from the Automotive Electronics Council, defining the critical
stress test qualification for automotive integrated circuits (ICs).
PN5120A0HN1/C1(HVQFN32) and PN5120A0HN/C1 (HVQFN40), hereafter named
as version 1.0
The data sheet describes the functionality for the industrial version and version 2.0. The
differences of the version 1.0 to the version 2.0 are summarized in Section 21
. The
industrial version has only differences within the outlined characteristics and limitations.
2. General description
The PN512 transceiver ICs support 4 different operating modes
Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE and FeliCa scheme
Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443B
Card Operation mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE and FeliCa scheme
NFCIP-1 mode
Enabled in Reader/Writer mode for ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE, the PN512’s internal
transmitter part is able to drive a reader/writer antenna designed to communicate with
ISO/IEC 14443A/ MIFARE cards and transponders without additional active circuitry. The
receiver part provides a robust and efficient implementation of a demodulation and
PN512
