13.56MHz RFID IC Card

13.56MHz RFID IC Card is a highly reliable, high-frequency (HF) contactless smart card engineered for secure access control, data storage, and automated identity verification. Operating at the standard 13.56 MHz frequency, this card incorporates a premium internal EEPROM chip and a finely tuned antenna coil. Consequently, it allows users to experience rapid “touch-and-go” data transfers within a proximity range of up to 10 cm. The smart architecture supports advanced encryption and anti-collision algorithms. Furthermore, these features ensure that a reader can seamlessly process multiple tags simultaneously without data corruption. Therefore, you can confidently deploy this robust, credit-card-sized token across various commercial tracking, transit, and security infrastructures.

Key Features:

• High-Frequency Stability: Operates precisely at 13.56 MHz, adhering to international contactless standards for widespread reader compatibility.
• Advanced Anti-Collision Logic: Features an intelligent built-in mathematical algorithm that uniquely identifies individual cards even when stacked together in a reader’s field.
• Secure Sector Encryption: Provides highly secure memory storage with individual key hierarchies per sector, preventing unauthorized duplication or data tampering.
• Fast Transaction Processing: Handles complex mutual authentication and full data read/write routines in less than 100 ms.
• Passive Power Design: Utilizes electromagnetic energy from the RFID reader to power its internal chip, eliminating the need for an integrated battery.

Technical Specifications:

• Operating Frequency: 13.56 MHz
• Standard Protocol: ISO/IEC 14443 Type A
• Memory Capacity: 1 Kbyte (1024 Bytes) organized into 16 sectors of 4 blocks each
• Data Transfer Rate: 106 kbit/s
• Reading Distance: ≈ 2 cm to 10 cm (Depending on reader geometry and power)
• Write Endurance: ≥ 100,000 write/erase cycles
• Data Retention: Minimum 10 years

Mechanical Specifications:

• Base Material: High-grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic
• Surface Finish: Smooth, glossy white laminate suitable for custom dye-sublimation or thermal transfer printing
• Internal Components: Embedded silicon IC chip and wire-wound copper antenna coil
• Environmental Resistance: Waterproof, dustproof, and highly resistant to daily flexing and mechanical fatigue

Dimensions:

• Length: 85.6 mm (Standard CR80 Credit Card size)
• Width: 54.0 mm
• Thickness: 0.84 mm (±0.04 mm)
• Weight: ≈ 5.8 g

Pinout and Wiring:

• Contactless Interface: This card has no exposed pins or electrical contacts. Instead, it relies entirely on its internal RF antenna coil.
• RF Coil Port LA: Connected internally to the silicon chip’s first RF input pad to receive induced power.
• RF Coil Port LB: Connected internally to the silicon chip’s second RF input pad to complete the tuned resonant circuit loop.
• Deployment Note: However, you must avoid placing the card directly against thick metallic surfaces during operation, because metal shields the magnetic field and degrades read ranges.
