What is RFID reader RC522?

RC522 is the highly integrated RFID card reader which works on non-contact 13.56mhz communication, is designed by NXP as 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.

How do I use RFID reader writer?

How to use

  1. Install two AAA batteries. Switch on ,red power indicator on.
  2. Put the original RFID ID card or key-fob in the reading area. Press read button read indicator with beep sounds.
  3. Put the writable RFID sticker or key-fob in the reading area. Press write button write indicator with beep sounds. Copy completed.

What is RFID RC522?

The RC522 RFID Reader module is designed to create a 13.56MHz electromagnetic field that it uses to communicate with the RFID tags (ISO 14443A standard tags). The reader can communicate with a microcontroller over a 4-pin Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with a maximum data rate of 10Mbps.

What can RC522 read?

RC522 Features

  • 13.56MHz RFID module.
  • Operating voltage: 2.5V to 3.3V.
  • Communication : SPI, I2C protocol, UART.
  • Maximum Data Rate: 10Mbps.
  • Read Range: 5cm.
  • Current Consumption: 13-26mA.
  • Power down mode consumption: 10uA (min)

What is RFID reader writer?

It is an integrated rfid reader, writer card reader scanner chip, and a new generation of high quality. The product supports rfid reader, driver can use for all kinds of applications.

Can RC522 read NFC?

RC522 RFID/NFC reader (also called RFID-RC522 Module) can: Read the UID of RFID/NFC tag. Write data to RFID/NFC tag. Read data from RFID/NFC tag.

Can NFC read 125kHz?

You cannot read a passive 125 KHz Tag with a NFC reader, because as you have already guessed, they operate on different frequencies. There are passive RFID cards operating on 13.56 MHz, however, and these will read just fine on a NFC-enabled phone.

How does the mfrc522 IC work with Arduino?

The MFRC522 IC supports three types of serial communication with the host (Microcontroller like Arduino). They are: The RC522 RFID Reader kit consists of the RC522 RFID Reader Module, RFID card, RFID Key Fob and couple of male headers to solder.

What kind of RFID reader does Arduino use?

RC522 RFID Module Pinout, Interfacing with Arduino, Applications RC522 RFID Reader Module RC522 is a Multi-communication RFID Module for Arduino and Microcontrollers. The RC522 is known as MFRC-522 due to its NFX semiconductor microcontroller.

What kind of IC is in rc522 RFID reader?

The RC522 RFID Reader Module consists of the MFRC522 IC, a 27.12 MHz Crystal Oscillator, an Antenna embedded on the PCB and supporting passive components to emit 13.56 MHz electromagnetic field. An important thing to remember is that the MFRC522 IC operates at a supply voltage of 2.5V to 3.3V but the communication pins are tolerant to 5V.

Is the Arduino rc522 based on NXP IC?

The RC522 Module is based on NXP’s MFRC522 RFID Reader / Writer IC operating at 13.56 MHz. We will learn how the Arduino RC522 RFID Card Reader Interface works with a couple of test codes.
