Overview

This application note describes the PR533 (PR5331C3HN) evaluation board, a reference design in a USB stick form factor (bsx0252). The board is a contactless reader/writer supporting ISO/IEC 14443A/B, MIFARE encryption, and Felica protocols. It features an integrated 80C51 microcontroller, an internal LDO for 2.7V to 5.4V operation, and a USB 2.0 full-speed interface. The document includes comprehensive design data such as electrical schematics, PCB layout diagrams for top and bottom layers, and a full bill of materials. The device is CCID compliant, enabling it to operate as a plug-and-play PC/SC smart card reader.

Use Cases

  • Contactless smart card reader/writer development
  • PC/SC compliant security applications
  • USB-based RFID reader design
  • NFC evaluation and prototyping
  • EMVCo v2.0.1 compliant reader implementations
