topaz 512 nfc card

13.56 MHz HF C-tier format

A compatible blank credential built on the matching Genuine NXP MIFARE / DESFire platform — supplied ready for your own system to enrol as a drop-in spare for Broadcom Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1). Order single spares or bulk quantities at a fraction of OEM list pricing.

How the compatible Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1) works

The Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1) is a 13.56 MHz high-frequency contactless credential read over the ISO/IEC 14443 air interface. Its data structure is NFC Forum Type 1; 512-byte EEPROM (480 B user R/W); ISO 14443A Type 1 / ISO 18092. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.

Because the Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1) is a secured smart credential, it is designed so the encryption keys stay under your control. We supply compatible blank credentials built on the matching Genuine NXP MIFARE / DESFire platform, ready for your access-control system or integrator to enrol exactly as it would credentials ordered through the original vendor's channel. You get drop-in spares and bulk stock at a fraction of OEM pricing — and because your own system writes the keys, every credential inherits your site's security.

To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Broadcom card, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.

Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1) — common questions

Is this a genuine Broadcom card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1) so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an Broadcom-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with Broadcom; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

How do you supply a replacement for my secured Broadcom smart card?

The Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1) is a secured smart credential, so the encryption keys stay under your control. We supply compatible blank credentials on the matching Genuine NXP MIFARE / DESFire platform that your own system or integrator enrols — exactly like ordering blanks through the original vendor's channel, at a fraction of the cost. Because your system writes the keys, the credential inherits your site's security.

What frequency and format is the Topaz 512 (NFC Forum Type 1)?

It operates on 13.56 MHz HF, using nfc forum type 1; 512-byte eeprom (480 b user r/w); iso 14443a type 1 / iso 18092. Matching that exact frequency and data structure is what makes a compatible credential work — a card on the wrong band or bit length simply will not read.
