The MicroRWD MF LP (Low Power) module is a complete read and write solution for 13.56
MHz Mifare Classic cards (1k, 4k and Ultralight versions) and supports “Mifare” contactless
operations to dual-interface cards such as Mifare ProX, Smart MX (JCOP) and other types.
DESfire and Mifare PLUS cards are supported for serial number acquisition only. The
solution is entirely housed within a 24-pin DIL package and only needs an antenna connected
and a 5v DC supply to be a fully featured ISO14443A Mifare read/write system. The
MicroRWD MF LP version behaves in the same manner as the standard reader except that it
has an active, average current consumption of less than 150µµµ µA (micro Amps) with 1
second polling rate. As on other RWD modules, all commands and data response are via a
simple TTL level RS232 interface. In addition, the RWD MF LP version has auxiliary data
outputs on the OP0 / OP1 pins that can be programmed to automatically output UID (serial
number) or other block data as asynchronous 9600 baud serial or Wiegand protocol Data
High / Data Low signals. All these features can be configured and turned ON/OFF by setting
RWD EEPROM parameters. The diagram below shows the pin out configuration for the
MicroRWD MF LP module
