MIFARE Ultralight C - Contactless ticket IC

NXP Semiconductors has developed the MIFARE Ultralight C - Contactless ticket IC MF0ICU2 to be used in a contactless smart ticket or smart card in combination with Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD). The communication layer (MIFARE RF Interface)
complies to parts 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443 Type A standard (see
Ref. 1 and Ref. 2).
The MF0ICU2 is primarily designed for limited use applications such as public transportation, event ticketing and loyalty applications.
