Product Usage Instructions

1. Getting Started

1.1 Overview

The X-NUCLEO-NFC12A1 expansion board is equipped with an
on-board NFC card reader and host card emulation IC: ST25R300,
supporting various NFC protocols. Additionally, it features a 13.56
MHz inductive antenna, six LEDs, and compatibility with STM32Cube

1.2 Board Connection

Ensure your PC USB port can deliver at least 300 mA at 5 V
supply for the board. A green LED indicates the presence of the 5 V
supply, while MCU controls the six status LEDs. Unpopulated jumpers
allow alternative connections, excluding SPI, to the STM32 MCU. The
board should be placed on a clean, nonflammable surface when
connected to a power supply.

1.3 Hardware Requirements

The X-NUCLEO-NFC12A1 expansion board is compatible with STM32
Nucleo boards, specifically tested with NUCLEO-L476RG. Firmware and
documentation are available on the dedicated page.

Getting started with the NFC card reader expansion board based on ST25R300 for STM32 and STM8 Nucleos
Introduction
The X-NUCLEO-NFC12A1 NFC card reader expansion board is based on the ST25R300 device. The expansion board is configured to support all five NFC Forum tag types in reader mode. The ST25R300 manages frame coding and decoding in reader mode for standard applications. It supports ISO/IEC 14443 type A and B, ISO/IEC 15693 (single subcarrier only) and ISO/IEC 18092 communication protocols as well as the detection, reading and writing of NFC Forum type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 tags. Integrated HF reader/NFC initiator/NFC target IC with an antenna etched on the PCB and the related tuning circuit.
