Mifare 13.56Mhz RC522 RFID Card Reader Module

Mifare RC522 is the high integrated RFID card reader which works on non-contact 13.56mhz communication, is designed by NXP as a low power consumption, low cost and compact size read and write chip, is the best choice in the development of smart meters and portable hand-held devices.

Furthermore, it also supports rapid CRYPTO1 encryption to validate Mifare series products. MFRC522 support Mifare series higher speed non-contact communication, duplex communication speed up to 424 kb/s. As a new family member in 13.56MHz RFID family, MF RC522 has many similarities to MF RC5200 and MF RC530, and also has more new features.

This module can fit directly in hand held devices for mass production. Module use 3.3V power supply, and can communicate directly with any CPU board by connecting through SPI protocol, which ensure reliable work, high reading distance.
