1. General description
PN512 is the most broadly adopted NFC frontend - powering more than 10 billion NFC
transactions per year.
It is a highly integrated NFC frontend for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. This
NFC frontend utilizes an outstanding modulation and demodulation concept completely
integrated for different kinds of contactless communication methods and protocols at
13.56 MHz.
The PN512 NFC frontend supports 4 different operating modes
•
•
•
•
Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE and FeliCa scheme
Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443B
Card Operation mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE and FeliCa scheme
NFCIP-1 mode
Enabled in Reader/Writer mode for ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE, the PN512’s internal
transmitter part 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 part provides a robust and efficient implementation of a demodulation and
decoding circuitry for signals from ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE compatible cards and
transponders. The digital part handles the complete ISO/IEC 14443A framing and error
detection (Parity and CRC).
Enabled in Reader/Writer mode for FeliCa, the PN512 NFC frontend 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 PN512 supports contactless
communication using FeliCa Higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s in both directions.
The PN512 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.
In Card Operation mode, the PN512 NFC frontend is able to answer to a reader/writer
command either according to the FeliCa or ISO/IEC 14443A/MIFARE card interface
scheme. The PN512 generates the digital load modulated signals and in addition with an
external circuit the answer can be sent back to the reader/writer. A complete card
functionality is only possible in combination with a secure IC using the S
2
C interface.

Additionally, the PN512 NFC frontend offers the possibility to communicate directly to an
NFCIP-1 device in the NFCIP-1 mode. The NFCIP-1 mode offers different communication
mode and transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s according to the Ecma 340 and ISO/IEC 18092
NFCIP-1 Standard. The digital part handles the complete NFCIP-1 framing and error
detection.
Various host controller interfaces are implemented:
•
•
•
•
8-bit parallel interface

1.1 Different available versions
The PN512 is available in three versions:
•
PN5120A0HN1/C2 (HVQFN32), PN5120A0HN/C2 (HVQFN40) and PN5120A0ET/C2
(TFBGA64), hereafter named as version 2.0
•
PN512AA0HN1/C2 (HVQFN32) and PN512AA0HN1/C2BI (HVQFN32 with Burn In),
hereafter named as industrial version, fulfilling the automotive qualification stated in
AEC-Q100 grade 3 from the Automotive Electronics Council, defining the critical
stress test qualification for automotive integrated circuits (ICs).
The customer recognizes that:
–
since the product was not originally designed for automotive use, it will not be
possible to achieve the levels of quality and failure analysis that are normally
associated with products explicitly designed for automotive use.
–
the product qualification conforms to AEC-Q100.
–
all product production locations are certified according to TS16949.
•
PN5120A0HN1/C1(HVQFN32) and PN5120A0HN/C1 (HVQFN40), hereafter named
as version 1.0
The data sheet describes the functionality for the industrial version and version 2.0. The
differences of the version 1.0 to the version 2.0 are summarized in
Section 20.
The
industrial version has only differences within the outlined characteristics and limitations.
