V2.0 interface and the speed up to 12Mbps. This device Firmware Upgradeable through USB V2.0 Interface. (12Mbps) The ACR128U is a Contact and Contacless Smart Card Reader and Writer Page 2 of 5 Universal Terminal UT1 Version 0.03 Oct 2008 \ 1.0 INTRODUCTION developed on the 13.56MHz Contactless Technology. This device is a dual-interface reader (IFD and PCD) that supports both contact (ICC) and contactless (PICC) smart cards. It is designed to support ISO 7816 Parts 1-4 and ISO14443 Type A and B Cards, Hybrid Cards and Combi Cards but not FeliCa tags. High-speed (424 kbps) communication for PICCs (Maximum 848 kbps). 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. I t can support USB the RS232 Interface with a special cable can more easily. 2.0 FEATURES • 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. • ISO 14443 Parts 1-4 Compliant for Contactless Smart Card Interface. • T=CL emulation for MIFare 1K/4K PICCs. Multi-Blocks Transfer Mode is provided for efficient PICC access. • High Speed (424 kbps) Communication for PICCs. #Maximum 848 kbps. • 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. • User-Controllable Peripherals. E.g. LED, Buzzer. • CCID Compliant. • PCSC Compliant for Contact, Contactless and SAM Interfaces. • • Device Firmware Upgradeable through the RS232 Interface with a special cable.

Card Removal Event (ICC or PICC) Beep 3. Combi Card (support both ICC and PICC interfaces) is inserted in the contact card acceptor 2 Beeps 4. PICC is activated 1 beep per second (Default = Disabled) 5. PICC is activated (PPS Mode is 2 beeps per second (Default = Disabled) 5.3 SAM Interface • One SAM socket is provided. 5.4 Built-in Antenna • 3 turns symmetric loop antenna. Center tapped. • The estimated size = 65mm x 60mm. • The loop inductance should be around ~ 1.6uH to 2.5uH • Operating Distance for different Tags ~ up to 50mm (depend on the Tag)
