 1.0. Introduction
The ACR122U is a PC-linked contactless smart card reader/writer used for accessing ISO14443-4
Type A and B, Mifare, ISO 18092 or NFC, and FeliCa tags. The ACR122U is PCSC-compliant so it is
compatible with existing PCSC applications. Furthermore, the standard Microsoft CCID driver is used
to simplify driver installation.
The ACR122U serves as the intermediary device between the personal computer and the contactless
tag via the USB interface. The reader carries out the command issued from the PC, whether the
command is used in order to communicate with a contactless tag or control the device peripherals
(LED or buzzer).
The ACR122U uses the PCSC APDUs for contactless tags following the PCSC Specification and
makes use of pseudo APDUs in sending commands for ISO 18092 tags and controlling the device
peripherals. This document will discuss how you can use the ACR122U in your smart card system.

1.1. USB Interface

The ACR122U is connected to a computer through USB as specified in the USB Specification 1.1.
The ACR122U is working in Full speed mode, i.e. 12 Mbps.

Pin Signal Function

1 VBUS +5V power supply for the reader (Max 200mA, Normal 100mA)
2 D- Differential signal transmits data between ACR122U and PC.
3 D+ Differential signal transmits data between ACR122U and PC.
4 GND Reference voltage level for power supply

 2.0. Implementation
2.1. Communication Flow Chart of ACR122U
The Standard Microsoft CCID and PCSC drivers are used. Therefore, no ACS drivers are required
because the drivers are already built inside the windows operating system. You also have to modify
your computer’s registry settings to be able to use the full capabilities of the ACR122U NFC Reader.
See ACR122U PCSC Escape Command for more details.

Table 3: ATR format for ISO 14443 Part 4 PICCs

We take for example, an ATR for DESFire which is:

DESFire (ATR) = 3B 86 80 01 06 75 77 81 02 80 00
ATR
ATS
Initial Header T0 TD1 TD2
T1 Tk TCK
3B 86 80 01 06 75 77 81 02 80 00

This ATR has 6 bytes of ATS which is: [06 75 77 81 02 80]

NOTE: Use the APDU “FF CA 01 00 00” to distinguish the ISO14443A-4 and ISO14443B-4
PICCs, and retrieve the full ATS if available. The ATS is returned for ISO14443A-3 or
ISO14443B-3/4 PICCs.

Another example would be the ATR for ST19XRC8E which is:

ST19XRC8E (ATR) = 3B 8C 80 01 50 12 23 45 56 12 53 54 4E 33 81 C3 55
ATR
ATQB
Initial Header T0 TD1 TD2
T1 Tk TCK
3B 86 80 01 50 12 23 45 56 12 53 54 4E 33 81 C3 55

Since this card follows ISO 14443 Type B, the response would be ATQB which is 50 12
23 45 56 12 53 54 4E 33 81 C3 is 12 bytes long with no CRC-B

Note: You can refer to the ISO7816, ISO14443 and PCSC standards for more details.

Step 0. Start the application. The reader will do the PICC Polling and scan for tags continuously.
Once the tag is found and detected, the corresponding ATR will be sent to the PC. You must
make sure that the PCSC Escape Command has been set. See ACR122U PCSC Escape
Command for more details.

Step 1. The first thing is to connect the “ACR122U PICC Interface”.

Step 2. Access the PICC by sending APDU commands.

7.1. How to Access PCSC-Compliant Tags (ISO 14443-4)?

Basically, all ISO 14443-4 compliant cards (PICCs) would understand the ISO 7816-4 APDUs. The
ACR122U Reader just has to communicate with the ISO 14443-4 compliant cards through exchanging
ISO 7816-4 APDUs and Responses. ACR122U will handle the ISO 14443 Parts 1-4 Protocols
internally.
MIFARE 1K, 4K, MINI and Ultralight tags are supported through the T=CL emulation. Just simply treat
the MIFARE tags as standard ISO 14443-4 tags. For more information, please refer to topic “PICC
Commands for MIFARE Classic Memory Tags”.

 7.2. How to Access DESFire Tags (ISO 14443-4)?
DESFire supports ISO 7816-4 APDU Wrapping and Native modes. Once the DESFire Tag is
activated, the first APDU sent to the DESFire Tag will determine the “Command Mode”. If the first
APDU is “Native Mode”, the rest of the APDUs must be in “Native Mode” format. Similarly, if the first
APDU is “ISO 7816-4 APDU Wrapping Mode”, the rest of the APDUs must be in “ISO 7816-4 APDU
Wrapping Mode” format.
Example 1: DESFire ISO 7816-4 APDU Wrapping
To read 8 bytes random number from an ISO 14443-4 Type A PICC (DESFire)
APDU = {90 0A 00 00 01 00 00}
Class = 0x90; INS = 0x0A (DESFire Instruction); P1 = 0x00; P2 = 0x00
Lc = 0x01; Data In = 0x00; Le = 0x00 (Le = 0x00 for maximum length)
Answer: 7B 18 92 9D 9A 25 05 21 [$91AF]
The Status Code [91 AF] is defined in DESFire specification. Please refer to the DESFire
specification for more details.

Example 2: DESFire Frame Level Chaining (ISO 7816 wrapping mode)

In this example, the application has to do the “Frame Level Chaining”. To get the version of
the DESFire card.

Step 1: Send an APDU {90 60 00 00 00} to get the first frame. INS=0x60
Answer: 04 01 01 00 02 18 05 91 AF [$91AF]

Step 2: Send an APDU {90 AF 00 00 00} to get the second frame. INS=0xAF
Answer: 04 01 01 00 06 18 05 91 AF [$91AF]

Step 3: Send an APDU {90 AF 00 00 00} to get the last frame. INS=0xAF
Answer: 04 52 5A 19 B2 1B 80 8E 36 54 4D 40 26 04 91 00 [$9100]

Example 3: DESFire Native Command

We can send Native DESFire Commands to the reader without ISO 7816 wrapping if we find
that the Native DESFire Commands are easier to handle.

To read 8 bytes random number from an ISO 14443-4 Type A PICC (DESFire)
APDU = {0A 00}
Answer: AF 25 9C 65 0C 87 65 1D D7[$1DD7]

In which, the first byte “AF” is the status code returned by the DESFire Card.
The Data inside the blanket [$1DD7] can simply be ignored by the application.

Example 4: DESFire Frame Level Chaining (Native Mode)

In this example, the application has to do the “Frame Level Chaining”.
To get the version of the DESFire card.

Step 1: Send an APDU {60} to get the first frame. INS=0x60

Answer: AF 04 01 01 00 02 18 05[$1805]

Step 2: Send an APDU {AF} to get the second frame. INS=0xAF

Answer: AF 04 01 01 00 06 18 05[$1805]

Step 3: Send an APDU {AF} to get the last frame. INS=0xAF

Answer: 00 04 52 5A 19 B2 1B 80 8E 36 54 4D 40 26 04[$2604]

Note:
In DESFire Native Mode, the status code [90 00] will not be added to the response if the response length is
greater than 1. If the response length is less than 2, the status code [90 00] will be added in order to meet
the requirement of PCSC. The minimum response length is 2.

 Appendix D. Error Codes

Error Error Code

No Error 0x00
Time Out, the target has not answered 0x01
A CRC error has been detected by the contactless UART 0x02
A Parity error has been detected by the contactless UART 0x03
During a MIFARE anticollision/select operation, an erroneous Bit Count has been 0x04
detected
Framing error during MIFARE operation 0x05
An abnormal bit-collision has been detected during bit wise anticollision at 106 kbps 0x06
Communication buffer size insufficient 0x07
RF Buffer overflow has been detected by the contactless UART (bit BufferOvfl of 0x08
the register CL_ERROR)
In active communication mode, the RF field has not been switched on in time by the 0x0A
counterpart (as defined in NFCIP-1 standard)
RF Protocol error (cf. reference [4], description of the CL_ERROR register) 0x0B
Temperature error: the internal temperature sensor has detected overheating, and 0x0D
therefore has automatically switched off the antenna drivers
Internal buffer overflow 0x0E
Invalid parameter (range, format, …) 0x10
DEP Protocol: The chip configured in target mode does not support the command 0x12
received from the initiator (the command received is not one of the following:
ATR_REQ, WUP_REQ, PSL_REQ, DEP_REQ, DSL_REQ, RLS_REQ, ref. [1]).
DEP Protocol / Mifare / ISO/IEC 14443-4: The data format does not match to the 0x13
specification. Depending on the RF protocol used, it can be:
• Bad length of RF received frame,
• Incorrect value of PCB or PFB,
• Invalid or unexpected RF received frame,
• NAD or DID incoherence.
Mifare: Authentication error 0x14
ISO/IEC 14443-3: UID Check byte is wrong 0x23
DEP Protocol: Invalid device state, the system is in a state which does not allow the 0x25
operation
Operation not allowed in this configuration (host controller interface) 0x26
This command is not acceptable due to the current context of the chip (Initiator vs. 0x27
Target, unknown target number, Target not in the good state, …)
The chip configured as target has been released by its initiator 0x29
ISO/IEC 14443-3B only: the ID of the card does not match, meaning that the 0x2A
expected card has been exchanged with another one.
ISO/IEC 14443-3B only: the card previously activated has disappeared. 0x2B
Mismatch between the NFCID3 initiator and the NFCID3 target in DEP 212/424 0x2C
kbps passive.
An over-current event has been detected 0x2D
NAD missing in DEP frame 0x2E

 Appendix E. Sample Codes for Setting the LED
Example 1: To read the existing LED State
// Assume both Red and Green LEDs are OFF initially //
// Not link to the buzzer //

APDU = “FF 00 40 00 04 00 00 00 00”

Response = “90 00”. RED and Green LEDs are OFF.

Example 2: To turn on RED and Green Color LEDs

// Assume both Red and Green LEDs are OFF initially //
// Not link to the buzzer //

APDU = “FF 00 40 0F 04 00 00 00 00”

Response = “90 03”. RED and Green LEDs are ON,

To turn off both RED and Green LEDs, APDU = “FF 00 40 0C 04 00 00 00 00”

Example 3: To turn off the RED Color LED only, and leave the Green Color LED unchanged
// Assume both Red and Green LEDs are ON initially //
// Not link to the buzzer //

APDU = “FF 00 40 04 04 00 00 00 00”

Response = “90 02”. Green LED is not changed (ON); Red LED is OFF,

Red LED On
