3 bytes between SOF and EOF is called a frame
(Figure 6). The last two data characters of an ISO/IEC
14443 Type B frame are an inverted 16-bit CRC of the
preceding data characters generated according to the
CRC-16-CCITT polynomial. This CRC is transmitted with
the LSB first. For more details on the CRC-16-CCITT,
refer to ISO/IEC 14443-3, Annex B. With network func-
tion commands, the command code, parameters, and
response are embedded between SOF and CRC. With
memory function commands, command code, and
parameters are placed into the information field of
I-blocks (see the
Block Types
section), which in turn
are embedded between SOF and EOF.
For transmission, the frame information is modulated on a
carrier frequency, which is 13.56MHz for ISO/IEC 14443.
The subsequent paragraphs are a concise description
of the required modulation and coding. For full details
including SOF/EOF and subcarrier on/off timing, refer to
ISO/IEC 14443-3, Sections 7.1 and 7.2.
The path from master to slave uses amplitude modula-
tion with a modulation index between 8% and 14%
(Figure 7). In this direction, a START bit and logic 0 bit
correspond to a modulated carrier; STOP bit and logic
1 bit correspond to the unmodulated carrier. EOF ends
with an unmodulated carrier instead of STOP bits.

The path from slave to master uses an 847.5kHz sub-
carrier, which is modulated using binary phase-shift
key (BPSK) modulation. Depending on the data rate,
the transmission of a single bit takes eight, four, two, or
one subcarrier cycles. The slave generates the subcar-
rier only when needed, i.e., starting shortly before an
SOF and ending shortly after an EOF. The standard
defines the phase of the subcarrier before the SOF as
0° reference, which corresponds to logic 1. The phase
of the subcarrier changes by 180° whenever there is a
binary transition in the character to be transmitted
(Figure 8). The first phase transition represents a
change from logic 1 to logic 0, which coincides with the
beginning of the SOF. The BPSK modulated subcarrier
is used to modulate the load on the device’s antenna
(Figure 9).

ISO/IEC 14443 Block
Transmission Protocol
Before the master can send a data packet to access the
memory, the MAX66000 must be in the ACTIVE state.
The protocol to put the MAX66000 into the ACTIVE state
is explained in the
Network Function Commands
sec-
tion. While in the ACTIVE state, the communication
between the master and the MAX66000 follows the
block transmission protocol as specified in Section 7 of
ISO/IEC 14443-4. Such a block (Figure 10) consists of
three parts: the prologue field, the information field, and
the epilogue field. The prologue can contain up to 3
bytes, called the protocol control byte (PCB), card iden-
tifier (CID), and the node address (NAD). Epilogue is
another name for the 16-bit CRC that precedes the EOF.
The information field is the general location for data.
Block Types
The standard defines three types of blocks: I-block,
R-block, and S-block. Figures 11, 12, and 13 show the
applicable PCB bit assignments.
The I-block is the main tool to access the memory. For
I-blocks, bit 2 must be 1 and bit 6 to bit 8 must be 0. Bit
5, marked as CH, is used to indicate chaining, a func-
tion that is not used or supported by the MAX66000.
Therefore, bit 5 must always be 0. Bit 4, marked as CID,
is used by the master to indicate whether the prologue
field contains a CID byte. The MAX66000 processes
blocks with and without CID as defined in the standard.
The master must include the CID byte if bit 4 is 1. Bit 3,
marked as NAD, is used to indicate whether the pro-
logue field contains an NAD byte, a feature not support-
ed by the MAX66000. Therefore, bit 3 must always be
0. Bit 1, marked as #, is the block number field. The
block number is used to ensure that the response
received relates to the request sent. This function is
important in the error handling, which is illustrated in
Annex B of ISO/IEC 14443-4. The rules that govern the
numbering and handling of blocks are found in
Sections 7.5.3 and 7.5.4 of ISO/IEC 14443-4. The
MAX66000 ignores I-blocks that have bit 5 or bit 3 set
to 1.
For R-blocks, the states of bit 2, bit 3, bit 6, bit 7, and
bit 8 are fixed and must be transmitted as shown in
Figure 12. The function of bit 1 (block number) and bit 4
(CID indicator) is the same as for I-blocks. Bit 5,
marked as AN, is used to acknowledge (if transmitted
as 0) or not to acknowledge (if transmitted as 1) the
reception of the last frame for recovery from certain
error conditions. The MAX66000 fully supports the func-
tion of the R-block as defined in the standard. For
details and the applicable rules, refer to Sections 7.5.3
and 7.5.4 and Annex B of ISO/IEC 14443-4.
