1.2 ATR format for ISO 14443 Part 4 PICCs.
Byte Value
(Hex)
Designation Description
0 3B Initial Header
1 8N T0 Higher nibble 8 means: no TA1, TB1, TC1
only TD1 is following.
Lower nibble N is the number of historical
bytes (HistByte 0 to HistByte N-1)
2 80 TD1 Higher nibble 8 means: no TA2, TB2, TC2
only TD2 is following.
Lower nibble 0 means T = 0
3 01 TD2 Higher nibble 0 means no TA3, TB3, TC3,
TD3 following.
Lower nibble 1 means T = 1

ISO14443A:
The historical bytes from ATS response. Refer
to the ISO14443-4 specification.
ISO14443B:
The higher layer response from the ATTRIB
response (ATQB). Refer to the ISO14443-3
specification.

E.g 1. ATR for DESFire = { 3B 81 80 01 80 80 } // 6 bytes of ATR
Hint: Use the APDU “FF CA 01 00 00” to distinguish the ISO14443A-4 and ISO14443B-4 PICCs,
and retrieve the full ATS if available. ISO14443A-3 or ISO14443B-3/4 PICCs do have ATS
returned.
APDU Command = FF CA 01 00 00
APDU Response = 06 75 77 81 02 80 90 00
ATS = {
06 75 77 81 02 80}
E.g 2. ATR for ST19XRC8E = { 3B 8C 80 01 50 12 23 45 56 12 53 54 4E 33 81 C3 55}
// 12 bytes of ATQB, No CRC-B
ATQB = {50 12 23 45 56 12 53 54 4E 33 81 C3}
