1.0. Introduction
The ACM1252U-Z2 is a reader (IFD and PCD) module that support contactless (PICC) smart cards.
The ACM1252U-Z2 is an NFC reader module developed based on the 13.56 MHz
contactless technology. This NFC Reader Module supports all three NFC modes
namely card reader/writer, card emulation, and peer-to-peer communication.
The ACM1252U-Z2 supports ISO 14443 Type A and B cards, MIFARE®, FeliCa,
and ISO 18092–compliant NFC tags. It also supports other NFC devices with an
access speed of up to 424 Kbps and proximity operating distance of up to 30 mm
(depending on tag type used).
It is PC/SC–compliant for interoperability across different applications and platforms
and provides high-speed communication ability for contactless cards and NFC
tags/devices. Post-deployment firmware upgrade is also supported, eliminating the
need for additional hardware modification.

2.0. Features
 ISO 14443 Parts 1-4 Compliant for Contactless Smart Card Interface.
 ISO 18092 Compliant for Contactless Smart Card Interface.
 An external antenna for PICC contactless access applications.

The ACM1252U-Z2 supports the following Tag Types:
o
MIFARE Classic. E.g. MIFARE 1K, 4K, MINI and Ultralight.
o
ISO14443-4 Type A and B.
o
ISO18092 FeliCa, NFC tag
 T=CL emulation for MIFare 1K/4K PICCs
 High Speed (424 kbps) Communication for PICCs
 Energy saving modes for turning off the antenna field whenever the PICC is inactive,
or no PICC is found. It prevents the PICC from exposing to the field all the time.
 User-Controllable Peripherals. E.g. LED.
 PCSC Compliant for Contact and Contactless Interfaces.
 USB V2.0 Interface. (12M bps)

Device Firmware Upgradeable through the USB Interface.

3.0. Architecture
NXP’s LPC11U37 is for main processor for communication with PC, and control the contactless chip
and peripherals. PN512 act as a contactless chip to perform the communication between contactless
tags and LPC11U37
For communication architecture, the protocol between ACM1252U-Z2 and PC is using CCID protocol.
All the communication between PICC is PCSC Compliant
