PN532/C1
Near Field Communication (NFC) controller
8.6.3 Reader/Writer modes
All indicated modulation indices and modes in this chapter are system parameters. This
means that beside the IC settings a suitable antenna tuning is required to achieve the
optimal performance.
8.6.3.1 ISO/IEC 14443A Reader/Writer
The following diagram describes the communication on a physical level, the
communication overview in the Table 145
describes the physical parameters.
The internal CRC co-processor calculates the CRC value according the data coding and
framing defined in the ISO/IEC 14443A part 3, and handles parity generation internally
according to the transfer speed.
With appropriate firmware, the PN532 can handle the complete ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE
protocol.
