NFC/ HID card readers

I am looking for NFC and HID card readers, I can't find the chip by surfing on site. I need help from the ST support team in finding the perfect reader for my application.

    We are very sorry, but STMicroelectronics does not support LF RFID.

    You can find HID card readers on the website of its manufacturer, the company HID.

    STMicroelectronics provides the devices you can use to build NFC readers yourself. All relevant information can be found on its website.

    Good luck!

    Hi,

    I want to build a system to read any type of cards like 13.56 MHz and 125kHz cards. One chip can support to read both cards with all types of tags?

    STMicroelectronics does not offer a single chip solution for RFID and NFC. You would need to combine reader systems for each frequency range, i.e. for 125...134kHz, 13.56MHz and maybe UHF tags.

    STMicroelectronics focuses on NFC (13.56MHz) and UHF (860...960MHz). You could check the portfolio of readers for 13.56MHz, especially ST25R3911B, ST25R3912, ST25R3916 and ST25R3917 might be useful for your application.

    Hi Peter,

    We have a client with encrypted 125kHz RFID cards, we would like to know how to read the encrypted cards if we get the encryption key?

    Also would like to clarify if the data that is read on the encrypted card will require any additional tweaking on the software part?
