13.56 MHz CPU Smart Card, 4K–32K: overview
CA-180 is a 13.56 MHz CPU smart card for projects that need a credential with command processing and a chip operating system. Unlike a card described only by its stored identifier, this family includes a microprocessor, working memory, program storage and EEPROM managed by the card operating system. The listed chip family is FM1208.
The RF interface is ISO/IEC 14443A, and the memory choices are listed as 4K, 8K, 16K and 32K. Those values are presented as selectable capacities; the source does not define the application space available after its operating system and files are provisioned. Confirm the exact build and command behavior with the application provider before treating the card as a replacement for another CPU-card family.
The physical card measures 86 × 54 mm. PVC, ABS and PET are listed material choices, and the face can be glossy, matte or frosted. A reader distance of 5–10 cm and a sensing time of 1–2 ms are given, without an identified reader or application transaction sequence. These figures are references for sample evaluation, rather than a guarantee of end-to-end processing time.
Data retention is listed above ten years, and write endurance at 100,000 cycles. The source does not name an encryption algorithm, document application keys or specify DESFire compatibility. Define the intended data structure and test complete transactions with the target reader and software before approving the selected memory configuration.

CA-180 FAQ
Which memory options are listed?
The card family lists 4K, 8K, 16K and 32K capacities. The available application space and exact build need confirmation.
Is this a DESFire card?
DESFire compatibility is not documented. This product is listed with the FM1208 CPU-card family and must be checked against the required application.
Which face finishes are available?
Glossy, matte and frosted finishes are listed, with PVC, ABS or PET material choices.
What read distance is given?
The listed distance is 5–10 cm. The source does not identify the reader or transaction conditions for that figure.
