Getting started with the NFC card reader expansion board based on ST25R200 for STM32 Nucleos
Introduction
The X-NUCLEO-NFC10A1 NFC card reader expansion board is based on the ST25R200 device. The expansion board supports ISO14443A/B and ISO15693. The ST25R200 manages frame coding and decoding in reader mode for standard applications, such as NFC, proximity, and vicinity HF RFID standards. It supports ISO/IEC 14443 type A/B and ISO/IEC 15693 RF communication protocols as well as the detection, reading and writing of NFC Forum type 1, 2, 4, and 5 tags. It embeds a low power wake-up system capable of detecting an approaching tag. It also features a low power RC oscillator and wake-up timer to wake up the device automatically after a selected time period and check for a tag presence.
