The HW-1520_NFC is a highly integrated embedded module combining 2D barcode scanning and NFC read capability in a compact form factor (53.5×36×16mm). Powered by advanced image recognition algorithms and a wide-angle optical lens, it delivers fast, reliable decoding of 1D and 2D barcodes while supporting ISO14443 Type A/B and Mifare cards. With versatile interface options including USB-HID, USB virtual COM port, and TTL-232, the module enables plug-and-play integration into self-service kiosks, access control gates, bus ticketing machines, and smart home devices.
Key Features
Dual-Function Integration
Combines barcode scanning (QR Code, DM, PDF417, EAN/UPC, Code128, etc.) with NFC read capability (Mifare, ID cards) for versatile identification and payment applications.
Ultra-Compact Design
Dimensions of 53.5×36×16mm and weight under 15g allow seamless integration into space-constrained devices such as POS terminals, turnstiles, and handheld units.
Robust Decoding Performance
Equipped with a 640×480 CMOS sensor and intelligent illumination, ensuring fast scanning in complete darkness or high ambient light; motion tolerance up to 80cm/s, with payment code depth of field from 12mm to 200mm.
Flexible Interfaces
Supports USB-HID (keyboard emulation), USB virtual COM, and TTL-232 for plug-and-play compatibility with Windows, Linux, and Android systems.
Configurable NFC Operation
Offers continuous reading or command-trigger modes; customizable output formats (forward/reverse, decimal/hexadecimal, fixed-length padding), with support for prefix, suffix, and termination characters.
Industrial Reliability
Operating temperature range -20°C to 60°C; features vibration resistance and ESD protection (contact discharge ±6KV, air discharge ±12KV) for demanding environments.
Developer-Friendly
Includes DECODE_EVB evaluation board and complete SDK to accelerate prototyping and integration.
Typical Applications
Intelligent transportation: bus validators, subway turnstiles, taxi payment terminals
