General description
MFRC631, the cost efficient NFC frontend for payment.
The MFRC631 multi-protocol NFC frontend IC supports the following operating modes:
•
Read/write mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443 type A and MIFARE Classic
communication mode
•
Read/write mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443B
The MFRC631’s internal transmitter is able to drive a reader/writer antenna designed
to communicate with ISO/IEC 14443A and MIFARE Classic IC-based cards and
transponders without additional active circuitry. The digital module manages the
complete ISO/IEC 14443A framing and error detection functionality (parity and CRC).
The MFRC631 supports MIFARE Classic with 1 kB memory, MIFARE Classic with 4 kB
memory, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Ultralight C, MIFARE Plus and MIFARE DESFire
products. The MFRC631 supports higher transfer speeds of the MIFARE product family
up to 848 kbit/s in both directions.
The MFRC631 supports layer 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443B reader/writer
communication scheme except anticollision. The anticollision needs to be implemented in
the firmware of the host controller as well as in the upper layers.
The following host interfaces are supported:
•
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
•
Serial UART (similar to RS232 with voltage levels dependent on pin voltage supply)
2
•
I C-bus interface (two versions are implemented: I2C and I2CL)
The MFRC631 supports the connection of a secure access module (SAM). A dedicated
2
separate I C interface is implemented for a connection of the SAM. The SAM can be
used for high secure key storage and acts as a very performant crypto coprocessor. A
dedicated SAM is available for connection to the MFRC631.
In this document the term „MIFARE Classic card“ refers to a MIFARE Classic IC-based
contactless card.

•
Supported host interfaces:
–
SPI up to 10 Mbit/s
2
–

–
RS232 Serial UART up to 1228.8 kBd, with voltage levels dependent on pin voltage
supply
2
•
Separate I C-bus interface for connection of a secure access module (SAM)
•
FIFO buffer with size of 512 byte for highest transaction performance
•
Flexible and efficient power saving modes including hard power down, standby and
low-power card detection
•
Cost saving by integrated PLL to derive system clock from 27.12 MHz RF quartz crystal
•
3 V to 5.5 V power supply (MFRC63102)
2.5 V to 5.5 V power supply (MFRC63103)
•
Up to 8 free programmable input/output pins
•
Typical operating distance in read/write mode for communication to a ISO/IEC 14443
type A and MIFARE Classic card up to 12 cm, depending on the antenna size and
tuning
The version CLRC63103 offers a more flexible configuration for Low-Power Card
detection compared to the CLRC63102 with the new register LPCD_OPTIONS. In
addition, the CLRC63103 offers new additional settings for the Load Protocol which fit
very well to smaller antennas. The CLRC63103 is therefore the recommended version
for new designs.
