Description

The RC 522 is a 13.56 MHz RFID module that is based on the MFRC 522 controller from NXP semiconductors. The module can supports I2C, SPI and UART and normally is shipped with a RFID card and key fob. It is commonly used in attendance systems and other person/object identification applications. The RC 522 is a RF Module that consists of a RFID reader, RFID card and a key chain. The module operates 13.56 MHz which is industrial (ISM) band and hence can be used without any license problem. The module operates at 3.3 V typically and hence commonly used in 3.3 V designs.  It is normally used in application where certain person/object has to be identified with a unique ID. The key chain has 1 kB memory in it which can be used to stored unique data. The RC 522 reader module can both read and write data into these memory elements. The reader can read data only form passive tags that operate on 13.56 MHz. The RC 522 has an operating voltage between 2.5 V to 3.3 V and hence is normally powered by 3.3 V and should be used with 3.3 V communication lines. But, the communication pins of this module are 5 V tolerant and hence it can be used with 5 V micro controllers also like Arduino without any additional hardware. The module supports SPI, IIC and UART communication but out of these SPI is often used since it is the fasted with a maximum data rate of 10 Mbps.
