General description
The MIFARE MF0ICU1 has been developed by NXP Semiconductors to be used in a contactless smart ticket or smart card in combination with a Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD) in accordance with ISO/IEC 14443 A (see Ref. 1). It is intended for use as single trip or limited use tickets in public transportation networks, loyalty cards or day passes for events as a replacement for conventional ticketing solutions such as paper tickets, magnetic stripe tickets or coins.
