Product details
Overview
CLRC63201T/0FE,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a highly integrated 13.56 MHz contactless reader IC supporting ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, MIFARE Mini/1K/4K/Ultralight, I-CODE1, and ISO/IEC 15693 protocols. It delivers up to 100 mm proximity read range, 424 kBd MIFARE high-speed communication, and on-chip Crypto1 security engine with 32-byte key memory - deployed in secure access control terminals and electronic payment kiosks.
For engineers reviewing the CLRC63201T/0FE,112 datasheet, CLRC63201T/0FE,112 pinout, CLRC63201T/0FE,112 application, or CLRC63201T/0FE,112 equivalent, this page provides verified interface modes (parallel/SPI), transmitter drive capability (TX1/TX2), analog/digital power separation, FIFO buffer depth, and confirmed protocol layer support per NXP Rev. 3.7 datasheet.
Technical Context
The CLRC63201T/0FE,112 integrates full ISO/IEC 14443 A/B and ISO/IEC 15693 protocol stacks - including framing, CRC8/CRC16 generation/check, parity handling, and bit-level decoding/encoding - within its digital module. Its analog front-end features dual-channel (I/Q) demodulation, programmable TX conductance (GsCfgCW[5:0]), and internal oscillator buffer optimized for 13.56 MHz quartz.
It supports three parallel microprocessor interface modes (separate strobes, common strobe, EPP handshake) with automatic detection at power-on reset, plus SPI slave mode using MOSI/MISO/NSS/SCK pins. The 64-byte FIFO enables burst data transfers, while independent DVDD/AVDD/TVDD supplies isolate digital logic, analog circuitry, and RF transmitter stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz carrier - enables compliance with ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 15693 standards |
| Max Read Range | Up to 100 mm - achieved with internal transmitter driving antenna directly, no external active components required |
| Data Rate | Up to 424 kBd (MIFARE high baud rate) - supports fast transaction throughput in payment and transit systems |
| FIFO Depth | 64-byte send/receive buffer - reduces host MCU interrupt frequency and simplifies burst-mode data handling |
| Supply Voltages | DVDD: 3.3 V or 5 V; AVDD/TVDD: 3.3 V to 5 V - allows flexible system-level power architecture with analog/digital/transmitter domain isolation |
| Crypto Engine | Crypto1 with 32-byte non-volatile key memory - enables secure authentication of MIFARE cards without external security IC |
| Interface Modes | Parallel (8-bit, auto-detected bus type) and SPI (5-wire, slave-only) - ensures compatibility with legacy 8-bit MCUs and modern low-pin-count controllers |
Pinout & Package
CLRC63201T/0FE,112 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO32) with 32 leads and 7.5 mm body width (SOT287-1), featuring gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC SOIC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TX1, TX2 | Modulated carrier outputs | Drive 13.56 MHz antenna directly; support bridge configuration for extended range and robust field shaping |
| RX | Receiver input | Accepts load-modulated card response; connects to antenna tuning network with internal I/Q demodulator path |
| IRQ | Interrupt request output | Active-low signal indicates completed command, FIFO status, or error condition - enables event-driven host polling |
| NCS, NWR, NRD, ALE, A0–A2, D0–D7 | Parallel interface control/data | Supports auto-detected 8-bit MPU interface (separate/common strobes, EPP) - eliminates manual bus configuration |
| MOSI, MISO, NSS, SCK | SPI slave interface | 5-wire SPI compliant with standard clock polarity/phase; NSS enables multi-device sharing on same bus |
| TVDD, AVDD, DVDD, TVSS, AVSS, DVSS | Power supply inputs/grounds | Independent analog/digital/transmitter domains - minimize noise coupling between RF, logic, and power stages |
| OSCIN/OSCOUT | 13.56 MHz crystal interface | Internal oscillator buffer with low-phase-jitter design - accepts external quartz or clock source without external amplifier |
| RSTPD | Reset/power-down input | Hard reset on falling edge; HIGH disables internal current sinks and disconnects I/O pads - enables ultra-low standby current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-protocol stack integration | Fully implements ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, MIFARE, I-CODE1, and ISO/IEC 15693 physical/link layers - eliminates need for external protocol co-processors |
| Transmitter direct-drive capability | TX1/TX2 outputs drive antenna up to 100 mm range without external transistors or matching networks - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Secure on-chip authentication | Crypto1 engine with 32-byte EEPROM key storage - enables MIFARE card authentication without external secure element or software crypto overhead |
| Flexible host interface | Auto-detecting parallel interface + SPI slave - supports migration from legacy 8-bit designs to resource-constrained microcontrollers |
| Analog/digital power domain separation | Dedicated AVDD/DVDD/TVDD pins with isolated grounds - prevents digital switching noise from degrading RF receiver sensitivity |
| Programmable modulation parameters | CwConductance and ModWidth registers adjust TX source resistance and Miller pulse width - enables fine-tuning for diverse antenna geometries and regulatory requirements |

Does the CLRC63201T/0FE,112 include an integrated cryptographic engine?
Yes, the CLRC63201T/0FE,112 integrates a hardware Crypto1 engine with 32 bytes of non-volatile EEPROM key memory. This enables secure mutual authentication of MIFARE cards without external security ICs or software-based crypto, and is validated in Section 9.14 of the official datasheet.
What is the maximum operating distance achievable with the CLRC63201T/0FE,112?
The CLRC63201T/0FE,112 achieves up to 100 mm proximity operating distance when driving a properly tuned antenna directly from TX1/TX2 outputs, as confirmed in Section 3.1 and Figure 1 of the datasheet. Performance depends on antenna geometry, coil Q-factor, and regulatory limits - actual range may vary in end equipment.
