X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1 Hardware description
• The X-NUCLEO-NFC05A1 is an NFC card reader expansion board
based on the ST25R3911B. The expansion board is configured to
support ISO14443A/B, ISO15693, FeliCa™ and AP2P
communication. By default, a VHBR compatible matching is
populated to achieve bit rates up to 3.4 Mbps.
• The ST25R3911B manages frame coding and decoding in reader
mode for standard applications, such as NFC, proximity and vicinity
HF RFID standards
• Furthermore, the automatic antenna tuning (AAT) technology enables
operations close to metallic parts and/or in changing environments.
Main Features
• Six general purpose LEDs
• ISO 18092 (NFCIP-1) active P2P
• ISO 14443Aand ISO14443B
• ISO 15693
• FeliCa™
• VHBR
• Up to 1.4 W output power with differential antenna
• Compatible with Arduino™ UNO R3 connectors
• Compatible with STM32 Nucleo boards

Software components
• STM32Cube software (CUBE) - A set
of free tools and embedded software bricks
to enable fast and easy development on
the STM32, including a Hardware
Abstraction Layer and middleware bricks.
• STM32Cube expansion software
(X-CUBE) - Expansion software provided
free for use with the STM32 Nucleo
expansion board and fully compatible with
the STM32Cube software framework. It
provides abstracted access to expansion
board functionality through high-level APIs
and sample applications.

www.st.com/x-cube
• Compatibility with multiple Development Environments - The STM32 Open Development
Environment is compatible with a number of IDEs including IAR EWARM, Keil MDK, and GCC-based
environments. Users can choose from three IDEs from leading vendors, which are free of charge and
deployed in close cooperation with ST. These include Eclipse-based IDEs such as Ac6 System
Workbench for STM32 and the MDK-ARM environment.
