NXP PR533 Contactless Interface Controller User Manual
User manual for NXP PR533 firmware V3.60, covering USB/HSU interfaces, ISO/IEC 14443 Type A/B, MIFARE, and FeliCa support for contactless reader applications.
Overview
This document describes the firmware functionalities and global behavior of the NXP PR533 Contactless Interface Controller. It details the host controller protocols for USB and High-Speed UART (HSU) interfaces, including framing and command structures. The PR533 supports multiple operating modes, including PCD mode for FeliCa, ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and B, MIFARE, and Jewel cards. The device integrates an I2C master interface to communicate with external EEPROMs and the TDA8029 contact smartcard reader. Additional features include PN512 emulation mode, Automatic Tag Discovery (ATD), and compliance with EMV contactless specification V2.0.1. The manual also outlines power management states such as Standby, Suspend, and Transparent modes.
