NXP Mifare®Ultralight C RFID NFC Inlay

NXP Mifare®Ultralight C RFID NFC Inlay or Transponder, a type of unfinished component, can be transformed into various items such as tickets, badges, labels, or cards. Simultaneously, these HF NFC RFID inlays can be produced in an array of sizes, customized to meet your specific needs.

Description

NXP Mifare Ultralight C RFID NFC Inlay

Dry inlay

Simply speaking, RFID dry inlay is a combination of RFID chip and antenna. It could be used for making NFC sticker, RFID label, RFID ticket and various of RFID tags.

Antenna of dry inlay is aluminum etching, which is thinner with comparing to copper coil. Shape of antenna could be customized and redesigned on demand.

 

Wet inlay

RFID dry inlay added with an adhesive is called wet inlay. It could be used as a RFID label or NFC sticker directly if you do not need any printing on the surface. Being sticked on the objects can save costs and achieve the same purpose. It’s also widely applied in making RFID tags. Antenna of wet inlay is aluminum etching, which is thinner with comparing to copper coil. Shape of antenna could be customized and redesigned on demand.

NXP® Semiconductors has developed the MIFARE Ultralight C – Contactless ticket IC MF0ICU2 to be used in a contactless smart ticket or smart card in combination with Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD). The communication layer (MIFARE® RF Interface) complies to parts 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443 Type-A standard. The MF0ICU2 is primarily designed for limited use applications such as public transport, event ticketing, and loyalty applications.

Contactless energy and data transfer

In the MIFARE system, the MF0ICU2 is connected to a coil with a few turns. The MF0ICU2 fits for the TFC.0 (Edmonson) and TFC.1 ticket formats as defined in EN 753-2.

TFC.1 ticket formats are supported by the MF0xxU20 chip featuring an on-chip resonance capacitor of 16 pF.

The smaller TFC.0 tickets are supported by the MFxxU21 chip holding an on-chip resonance capacitor of 50 pF.

When the ticket is positioned in the proximity of the coupling device (PCD) antenna, the high-speed RF communication interface allows the transmission of the data with a baud rate of 106 kbit/s.

Anti-collision

An intelligent anti-collision function allows operating more than one card in the field simultaneously. The anti-collision algorithm selects each card individually and ensures that the execution of a transaction with a selected card is performed correctly without interference from another card in the field.

The anti-collision function is based on an IC individual serial number called Unique IDentification. The UID of the MF0ICU2 is 7 bytes long and supports cascade level 2 according to ISO/IEC 14443-3.
