Engineering Brief

The FeliCa Lite-S RC-S966 is a small-size contactless IC chip supporting NFC Forum Type 3 Tag operations at 13.56 MHz with 212/424 kbps data rates. It features 224 bytes of user memory organized in a simple file system with flexible per-block access attributes (read-only, read/write, authenticated access, MAC-protected write). Security is provided through T-DES-based streamlined mutual authentication and MAC generation for access control, plus CRC integrity checks and anti-tearing protection for reliable transactions.

Typical Applications

  • NFC handover for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connection
  • Single-journey transportation tickets
  • Loyalty programs and gift cards
  • Company ID and student cards
  • Event tickets and game cards
  • Smart poster applications
