Answer value Answer explanation
2h NAK for EEPROM write error
1h NAK for parity or CRC error
0h NAK for any other error
After every NAK, the MF0ICU2 performs an internal reset and returns to IDLE or HALT
state.
Remark: Any 4-bit response different from Ah shall be interpreted as NAK, although not
all 4-bit values are detailed in Table 15

9 MIFARE Ultralight C - Contactless ticket IC commands
9.1 MIFARE Ultralight C - Contactless ticket IC card activation
The ATQA and SAK values are identical as for MF0ICU1 (see Ref. 8). For information on
ISO 14443 card activation, see Ref. 4. Summary of data relevant for device identification
is given in Section 8.4.
9.2 READ
The READ command takes the page address as a parameter. Only addresses 00h to
2Bh are decoded. For higher addresses the MF0ICU2 returns a NAK. The MF0ICU2
responds to the READ command by sending 16 bytes starting from the page address
defined in the command (e.g. if ADR is 03h, pages 03h, 04h, 05h, 06h are returned). The
command structure is shown in Figure 11 and Table 17.
Table 18 shows the required timing.
