Product short data sheet
1. Introduction
This Product short data sheet describes the functionality of the transceiver IC PN511. It
includes functional and electrical specifications. A complete specification is given in the
product data sheet.
2. General description
The PN511 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 PN511 transceiver ICs support 3 different operating modes
•
Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO 14443A/Mifare and FeliCa scheme
•
Card Operation mode supporting ISO 14443A/Mifare and FeliCa scheme
•
NFCIP-1 mode
Enabled in Reader/Writer mode for ISO 14443A/Mifare, the PN511’s internal transmitter
part is able to drive a reader/writer antenna designed to communicate with ISO 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 14443A/Mifare compatible cards and transponders. The digital part
handles the complete ISO 14443A framing and error detection (Parity & CRC).
The PN511 supports Mifare Classic (e.g. Mifare Standard) products. The PN511 supports
contactless communication using Mifare higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s in both
directions.
Enabled in Reader/Writer mode for FeliCa, the PN511 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 PN511 supports contactless
communication using FeliCa Higher transfer speeds up to 424 kbit/s in both directions.
In Card Operation mode, the PN511 transceiver IC is able to answer to a reader/writer
command either according to the FeliCa or ISO 14443A/Mifare card interface scheme.
The PN511 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 core IC using the S
2
C interface.

Additionally, the PN511 transceiver IC 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.

6. Block diagram
The Analog interface handles the modulation and demodulation of the analog signals
according to the Card Receiving mode, Reader/Writer mode and NFCIP-1 mode
communication scheme.
The RF level detector detects the presence of an external RF-field delivered by the
antenna to the RX pin.
The Data mode detector detects a Mifare, FeliCa or NFCIP-1 mode in order to prepare the
internal receiver to demodulate signals, which are sent to the PN511.
The communication (S
2
C) interface provides digital signals to support communication for
transfer speeds above 424 kbit/s and digital signals to communicate to a secure smart
card IC.
