SCOPES
This document describes the contactless part (PICC & PCD) of the ACR1222U reader only.
HIGHTLIGHTS
The ACR1222U is a dual-interface reader (IFD and PCD) that supports both contact (ICC) and
contactless (PICC) smart cards.
• One standard ICC landing type card acceptor.
• One SAM socket is provided for highly secure applications.
• A built-in antenna for PICC contactless access applications.
• ISO 7816 Parts 1-4 Compliant for Contact Smart Card Interface.
• Intelligent Support for Hybrid Cards and Combi Cards.
• Energy saving modes for turning off the antenna field whenever the PICC is inactive, or no
PICC is found. It prevents the PICC from exposing to the field all the time.
• Contactless interface Support ISO14443 Part 4 Type A & B, MIFARE, FeliCa and NFC-1
tags.
• User-Controllable Peripherals. E.g. LED, Buzzer.
• CCID Compliant.
• PCSC Compliant for Contact, Contactless and SAM Interfaces.
• USB V2.0 Interface. (12M bps)
• Device Firmware Upgradeable through the USB Interface.

TERMS
• IFD: Interface Device. A terminal, communication device, or machine to which the
integrated circuit(s) card is electrically connected during operation.
• PCD: Proximity Coupling Device. ISO 14443 Contactless Reader.
• ICC: Integrated Circuit(s) Card. Refer to a plastic card containing an integrated circuit,
which is compatible with ISO 7816.
• SAM: Security Access Module, similar to ICC but in smaller size.
• PICC: Proximity Integrated Circuit(s) Card. Contactless Cards operating without
mechanical contact to the IFD, using magnetic coupling.
• Combi-Card: A smart card that supports both ICC and PICC Interfaces. But only one
interface can be operating at any one time.
• Hybrid-Card: A smart card that consists of both ICC and PICC cards. Both ICC and PICC
cards can be operating at the same time.
• USB: Universal Serial Bus, a common device interface used in PC environment.
• CCID: The specifications for USB devices that interface with ICC or act as interfaces with
ICC/PICC.
• PCSC: Personal Computer Smart Card, a specification that can facilitate the interoperability
necessary to allow ICC/PICC technology to be effectively utilized in the PC environment.
• ISO 7816: A standard for contact smart cards (ICC).
• T=0: Character-oriented asynchronous half duplex transmission protocol for ICCs (ISO
7816).
• T=1: Block-oriented asynchronous half duplex transmission protocol for ICCs (ISO 7816).
• ISO 14443: A standard for contactless smart cards (PICC)
• T=CL: Block-oriented asynchronous half duplex transmission protocol for PICCs (ISO
14443).
• APDU: Application Protocol Data Unit.
• ATR: Answer-to-Reset. The transmission sent by an ICC to the reader (IFD) in response to
a RESET condition.
• ATS: Answer-to-Select. The transmission sent by a PICC Type A to the reader (PCD) in
response to a SELECT condition.
• ATQB: Answer-to-Request. The transmission sent by a PICC Type B to the reader (PCD)
in response to a REQUEST condition.
• Card Insertion Event: Either an ICC or a PICC is just appeared to the reader.
• Card Removal Event: Either an ICC or a PICC is removed from the reader.
