mfrc630 communicating android with nfc

[gksrb4]

hi, Is mfrc630 supported to communicate android smartphone? if so, which iso is used?

Hello,

In theory a reader can communicate with another reader in the following scenarios:

1. Peer to peer.

2. Card emulation.

It will be necessary to define in which NFC mode they will be working and set to each side.

Best regards,

Ivan.

in doc, MFRC630 and MFRC630 plus: High-performance frontend for MIFARE and NTAG products Rev. 4.7 — 12 September 2018

The MFRC630 multi-protocol NFC frontend IC supports the following operating modes:

• Read/write mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443A and MIFARE Classic -> this is mifare i know

• Read/write mode supporting NTAG 

what is NTAG? Is it reader can imitate card role?

1. Peer to peer.-> Is this supported by mfrc630?

2. Card emulation. -> Are you talking about smartphone card emulation mode?
