ACR1256U is compliant to ISO-14443 Parts 1- 4 supporting contactless card, Mifare cards, FeliCa cards. ACR1256U is capable to support PKI management。 Page 4 of 12 ACR1256U Document Title Here Design Specification Version 1.00.00 Document Title Here info@acs.com.hk www.acs.com.
2.0. Features Support contactless smart card Standard o ISO 14443 Parts 1- 4 Compliant o ISO-18092 (NFCIP-1) Compliant The ACR1256U supports the following Tag Types: o MIFARE Classic. E.g. MIFARE 1K, 4K, MINI and Ultralight. o ISO14443-4 Type A and B o FELICA T=CL emulation for MIFare 1K/4K PICCs. Multi-Blocks Transfer Mode is provided for efficient PICC access High Speed (424 kbps) Communication for PICCs.
3.0. Architecture Z8D256U is for main processor for communication with PC, controlling the contactless chip, communication with peripherals. PN512 act as a contactless chip to perform the communication between contactless tags and Z8D256U. For communication architecture, the protocol between ACR1256U and PC is using CCID protocol. All the communication with PICC is PCSC Compliant. Page 6 of 12 ACR1256U Document Title Here Design Specification Version 1.00.00 Document Title Here info@acs.com.hk www.
