Library — Rc522 Proteus

Here’s a typical connection for RC522 → Arduino in Proteus:

| RC522 Pin | Proteus net label / connected to | |-----------|----------------------------------| | SDA (SS) | Arduino Digital 10 | | SCK | Arduino Digital 13 | | MOSI | Arduino Digital 11 | | MISO | Arduino Digital 12 | | IRQ | (optional) – leave unconnected | | GND | Ground | | RST | Arduino Digital 9 | | 3.3V | VCC (3.3V terminal in Proteus) |

⚠️ Important: RC522 is 3.3V only. Use a POWER = 3.3V terminal in Proteus, not 5V. rc522 proteus library

The simulated RC522 component in Proteus communicates via the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It requires connection to a microcontroller, most commonly an Arduino (ATmega328P) or a generic 8051/PIC microcontroller.

Once you have downloaded the zip file, follow these steps carefully to integrate it into your Proteus software:

If you only need to test your firmware logic, simulate using a generic SPI EEPROM (e.g., 25AA1024) or a virtual terminal + custom code. ⚠️ Important : RC522 is 3

I’ve seen final-year projects fail because a student fried three RC522 modules (using 5V instead of 3.3V) before getting a single read. With this library, you can:

This report provides a comprehensive technical overview of the MFRC522 RFID module library for Proteus Design Suite. As the standard Proteus library does not include the MFRC522 component, an external library is required for simulation. This document details the installation process, pin configuration, communication protocols (SPI), and the procedure for simulating RFID tag reading and writing within the Proteus environment.
