## Description

The Adafruit PN532 NFC/RFID Controller Shield brings 13.56 MHz NFC and RFID capabilities to your Arduino. Built around the PN532 chipset — the most widely used NFC controller, found in virtually every NFC-enabled phone and device — it can read and write to NFC/RFID tags and cards of Type 1 through 4. The shield was designed by RF engineers using professional test equipment to achieve a 10 cm (4 inch) read range — the maximum possible at 13.56 MHz. The tuned stripline antenna can read through non-metal barriers, so you can mount the shield behind a plastic plate using standoffs. Key Features PN532 NFC Controller – Read and write NFC/RFID Type 1–4 tags and cards at 13.56 MHz 10 cm Read Range – Professionally tuned stripline antenna for maximum range I2C or SPI Interface – Default I2C on A4/A5 with interrupt on D2; switch to SPI via solder jumpers Interrupt Pin – Digital pin 2 pulls low automatically when a card or phone is in range (no polling needed) Arduino Shield Form Factor – Plugs directly onto Arduino UNO, Duemilanove, Mega R3, and compatible boards Includes 13.56 MHz RFID/NFC 1K Card – Ready to test out of the box Interface Details I2C (default) – Uses A4 (SDA) and A5 (SCL) plus D2 for interrupt; shareable with other I2C devices SPI (optional) – Enable by shorting two solder jumpers on top of the PCB; uses any 4 digital pins Compatibility Arduino UNO, Duemilanove, Diecimila, NG Arduino Mega R3 and later (Mega R2 and earlier require manual I2C wiring) Other Arduino-compatible boards with standard shield headers Ideal For RFID access control and tag reading/writing NFC project prototyping and development Attendance tracking and asset management systems Interactive installations triggered by NFC tags Package Contents 1× Adafruit PN532 NFC/RFID Shield (with tuned 13.56 MHz stripline antenna) 1× 36-pin 0.1" header 1× 13.56 MHz RFID/NFC 1K card Note: On v1.0 boards, the SEL0 and SEL1 silkscreen labels are reversed. This only affects users switching to UART or SPI mode — the default I2C mode is unaffected. Resources Adafruit PN532 NFC/RFID Learning Guide
