1. Introduction
1.1 General description
The PN7462 family is a family of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0-based NFC microcontrollers
offering high performance and low power consumption. It has a simple instruction set and
memory addressing along with a reduced code size compared to existing architectures.
PN7462 family offers an all in one solution, with features such as NFC, microcontroller,
optional contact smart card reader, and software in a single chip. It operates at CPU
frequencies of up to 20 MHz. The PN7462 family consists of six different products.
For more details on all products of the PN7462 family refer to the data sheet.
Having the differences listed in the table above, all products within the PN7462 family are
equipped with 12 kB of SRAM data memory and 4 kB EEPROM. All products within the
family also include one host interface with either high-speed mode I2C-bus, SPI, USB or
high-speed UART, and two master interfaces, SPI and Fast-mode Plus I2C-bus. Four
general-purpose counter/timers, a random number generator, one CRC coprocessor and
up to 21 general-purpose I/O pins.
The PN7462 family NFC microcontroller offers a one chip solution to build contactless, or
contact and contactless applications. It is equipped with a highly integrated high-power
output NFC-IC for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz enabling EMV-compliance
on RF level, without additional external active components.
PN7462 family supports the following operating modes:
•
read/write mode supporting ISO/IEC 1443A and MIFARE ICs
•
JIS X 6319-4 (comparable with FeliCa scheme)
•
ISO/IEC 15693, ICODE, ISO/IEC 18000-3 mode 3
•
NFC protocols - tag reader/writer, P2P
•
ISO/IEC 14443- type A card emulation
•
EMVCo compliance
In this document the term „MIFARE Classic card“ refers to a MIFARE Classic IC-based
contactless card and the term „MIFARE Plus card“ refers to a MIFARE Plus IC-based
contactless card.
