Features

Reader module suitable for incorporating into various embedded devices

This product achieves better communication performance and requires approximately 60% less space compared with the conventional product1), making it possible to incorporate the module into a wider range of devices.

1) Comparison with RC-S620/S

Available for various contactless IC cards

The module is read/write compatible with FeliCa cards, FeliCa-compatible devices, ISO/IEC 14443 Type A / Type B and ISO/IEC 15693 cards and tags.

High-speed communication

In addition to 424 kbps high-speed communication with FeliCa, equivalent to the conventional product2),
848 kbps high-speed communication using ISO/IEC 14443 Type A / Type B is available.

2) RC-S620/S

Application Development Environments

SDK for NFC <Reference Implementation> for embedded systems (optional)

For other widely-adopted operating systems, such as Linux, reference source code with transplantable C language is provided to develop applications for ISO/IEC 14443 Type A / Type B and ISO/IEC 15693 cards and tags, as well as FeliCa cards and FeliCa-compatible devices.

  • Card Command Library is API-compatible with applications for RC-S620, RC-S632, RC-S634.
