9.1.3 Operating Modes

The CL module support the following operating modes:

• Reader/writer mode supporting ISO14443A / MIFARE

, Felica™ and ISO14443B

schemes.

• Card operation mode supporting ISO14443A / MIFARE

and Felica™ schemes

• NFCIP-1 mode

The modes support different transfer speeds and modulation schemes. The following

chapters will explain the different modes more in detail.

Note: All indicated modulation indexes and modes in this chapter are system parameters.

This means that beside the IC settings a suitable antenna tuning is required to achieve the

optimal performance.
