General description

NXP has developed the MIFARE MF1ICS50 to be used in a contactless smart card

according to ISO/IEC 14443 Type A.

major cities have adopted MIFARE as their e-ticketing solution of choice.

1.1 Key applications

1.2 Anticollision

An intelligent anticollision function allows to operate more than one card in the field

simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each card individually and ensures that

the execution of a transaction with a selected card is performed correctly without data

corruption resulting from other cards in the field.
