1 Key functions and features

RC-S634/UA (hereinafter called the module) writes and reads data to and from FeliCa-enabled contactless IC cards. It can also write and read data based on the ISO/IEC 14443 contactless IC card standards. Immune to wear caused by dirt and friction, contactless operation leads to enhanced maintainability.
Device driver for the module supports the industry-standard PC/SC specifications version 2.0 for the programming interfaces between PC applications, the operating system and cards.
Key functions and features of the module are detailed below. For more information, please contact our exclusive distributor or sales representative.
• Based on an inductive read/write system type-certified by the Radio Law of Japan. It is also compliant with the relevant standards in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
• Compatible with a wide variety of not only cards based on ISO/IEC14443-4 (T=CL) such as MIFARE DESFire, Calypso CD Light, but also MIFARE DESFire EV1, MIFARE Plus, Topaz / Jewel, NFC Forum Tags and NFC-Forum-certified devices.
• Compactly designed with a really thin antenna.
• Interface versatility made possible by the use of USB for host controller connection.
• Environmentally friendly, with the adoption of lead-free soldering.
• Successful passage of rigorous validation tests by Microsoft’s WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs).
• Higher interoperability provided by the NFC Forum 1
devices
• An effective development environment “SDK for NFC & Adobe AIR / Adobe Flash” is available.
