The VTAP25 reader module development kit is a complete reference implementation of an industry-certified universal mobile wallet NFC reader using the VTAP25 surface mount module.

Supports multiple USB, serial and inter-processor comms protocols including secure OSDP.

Includes a proven reference antenna and facilities to attach and tune any other suitable external antenna.

Rapid path to design a product based on the VTAP25 NFC module, and to explore the VTAP NFC reader feature set.

Key features and benefits:

  • Supplied as a fully functional NFC reader development board with comprehensive on-board interfaces, components, antenna and connectors.

  • Power via on-board USB-C, 8-pin captive cable or screw terminal block (3.3V or 5V). Flexible power management, VBUS detection and low power modes.

  • Fully certified by Apple and Google for VAS and Smart Tap. Tested and qualified for Apple ECP2 Access Control protocols using DESFire credentials. (Finished readers also require certification testing in their final enclosure for Apple Access).

  • On-board serial RGB LEDs, beeper and RS-232 driver plus unpopulated external antenna tuning circuit. Expansion connector connects to all VTAP25 serial and I/O pins.

  • MIFARE & NFC tag support includes UID, MIFARE sector, secure DESFire, Ultralight AES, NDEF, HCE and MIFARE2Go. NFC tag emulation and handoff also supported.

  • Comprehensive developer resources include reference schematics, module footprint and surface mount soldering profile, plus technical support, antenna design and certification services from our engineering team.
