Mifare 13.56MHz RC522 RFID Card Reader (3.3V Supply)

MFRC522 is the highly integrated RFID card reader which works on non-contact 13.56MHz communication. Designed by NXP as a low power consumption, low cost and compact size read and write chip, this MFRC522 is the best choice in the development of portable hand-held devices. It supports ISO14443A frames and error correction and higher speed non-contact communication with speed up to 424 kb/s.

This MFRC522 based RFID Reader Module is easy to use and can be used in a wide range of applications. Module uses 3.3V power supply, and can communicate directly with any microcontroller via SPI interface.

NOTE: This RFID Reader Module works with 3.3V supply. Connecting directly to a 5V logic (e.g Arduino Uno and Mega) will cause damage to the board. A Logic Level Converter is recommended to protect the module.
