Multi-frequency integrated reader solution
2.2 CLRC663
The CLRC663 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.
The CLRC663 transceiver ICs support following different operating modes:
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443B
• Reader/Writer mode supporting FeliCa scheme
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 15693
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ICODE EPC UID/ EPC OTP
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 18000-3 Mode 3
• NFC P2P Initiator
The CLRC663 internal transmitter 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 module provides a robust and efficient implementation for
demodulation and decoding signals from ISO 14443A/MIFARE compatible cards and
transponders. The digital module manages the complete ISO 14443A framing and error
detection (parity and CRC) functionality. The CLRC663 supports MIFARE 1K, MIFARE
4K, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE, Ultralight C, MIFARE PLUS and MIFARE DESFire
products. The CLRC663 supports contactless communication and uses MIFARE higher
transfer speeds up to 848 kBd in both directions.
The CLRC663 supports all layers of the ISO/IEC 14443B reader/writer communication
scheme, given correct implementation of additional components, like oscillator, power
supply, coil etc. and provided that standardized protocols, e.g. like ISO/IEC 14443-4
and/or ISO/IEC 14443B anticollision are correctly implemented.
Enabled in Reader/Writer mode for FeliCa, the CLRC663 transceiver IC supports the
FeliCa communication scheme. The receiver part provides a robust and efficient
implementation of the demodulation and decoding circuitry for FeliCa coded signals. The
digital part handles the FeliCa framing and error detection like CRC. The CLRC663
supports contactless communication using FeliCa Higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s
in both directions. The CLRC663 supports vicinity protocol according to ISO/IEC15693,
EPC UID and ISO/IEC 18000-3 mode 3. The complete vicinity product family of NXP is
supported and enable a readability for mid-ranger reader applications.
The following host interfaces are provided:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Serial UART (similar to RS232 with voltage levels dependent on pin voltage supply)
• I
