Figure 2-1. Typical Application
A parallel or serial interface can be implemented for communication between the MCU and reader.
Transmit and receive functions use internal encoders and decoders with a 12-byte FIFO register. For direct transmit or receive functions, the encoders / decoders can be bypassed so the MCU can process the data in real time. The transmitter has selectable output power levels of 100 mW (20 dBm) or 200 mW
(23 dBm) into a 50Ω load (5 -V supply) and is capable of ASK or OOK modulation. Integrated voltage regulators ensure power-supply noise rejection for the complete reader system.
Data transmission comprises low-level encoding for ISO15693, modified Miller for ISO14443-A, high-bit-rate systems for ISO14443 and Tag-it coding systems. Included with the data encoding is automatic generation of SOF, EOF, CRC, and / or parity bits.
The receiver system enables AM and PM demodulation using a dual-input architecture. The receiver also includes an automatic gain control option and selectable gain. Also included is a selectable bandwidth to cover a broad range of input sub-carrier signal options. The received signal strength for AM and PM modulation is accessible via the RSSI register. The receiver output is a digitized sub-carrier signal among a selectable protocol and bit rate as outlined in
Table 5-11 . A selected decoder delivers bit stream and a
data clock as outputs.
The receiver system also includes a framing system. This system performs CRC and / or parity check, removes the EOF and SOF settings, and organizes the data in bytes. Framed data is then accessible to the MCU via a 12-byte FIFO register and MCU interface. The framing supports ISO14443 and ISO15693 protocols.
The TRF7960/61 supports data communication levels from 1.8 V to 5.5 V for the MCU I/O interface, while also providing a data synchronization clock. An auxiliary 20-mA regulator (pin 32) is available for additional system circuits.

SLOU186F – AUGUST 2006 – REVISED AUGUST 2010
5.1
Power Supplies
The positive supply pin, VIN (pin 2) has an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The positive supply input sources three internal regulators with output voltages V
DD_RF
, V
DD_A and V
DD_X that use external bypass capacitors for supply noise filtering. These regulators provide enhanced PSRR for the RFID reader system.
The regulators are not independent and have common control bits for output voltage setting. The regulators can be configured to operate in either automatic or manual mode. The automatic regulator mode setting ensures an optimal compromise between regulator PSRR and highest possible supply voltage for RF output power. Whereas, the manual mode allows the user to manually configure the regulator settings.
V
DD_RF
The regulator V
DD_RF
(pin 3) is used to source the RF output stage. The voltage regulator can be set for either 5-V or 3-V operation. When configured for the 5-V operation, the output voltage can be set from 4.3 V to 5 V in 100-mV steps. The current sourcing capability for 5-V operation is 150 mA maximum over the adjusted output voltage range.
When configured for 3-V operation, the output can be set from 2.7 V to 3.4 V, also in 100-mV steps. The current sourcing capability for 3-V operation is 100 mA maximum over the adjusted output voltage range.
V
DD_A
Regulator V
DD_A
(pin 1) supplies voltage to analog circuits within the reader chip. The voltage setting is divided in two ranges. When configured for 5-V operation, the output voltage is fixed at 3.5 V.
When configured for 3-V operation, the output can be set from 2.7 V to 3.4 V in 100-mV steps.
Note that when configured, both V
(their settings are not independent).
DD_A and V
DD_X regulators are configured together
V
DD_X
Regulator V
DD_X
(pin 32) can be used to source the digital I/O of the reader chip together with other external system components. When configured for 5-V operation, the output voltage is fixed at 3.4 V.
When configured for 3-V operation, the output voltage can be set from 2.7 to 3.4 V in 100-mV steps. The total current sourcing capability of the V
DD_X adjusted output range. Note that when configured, both V
DD_A configured together (their settings are not independent).

DD_X regulators are
V
DD_PA
The V
DD_PA pin (pin 4) is the positive supply pin for the RF output stage and is externally connected to the regulator output V

5.1.1
Negative Supply Connections
The negative supply connections are all externally connected together (to GND). The substrate connection is V
SS
(pin 10), the analog negative supply is V
SS_A the RF output stage negative supply is V
SS_TX
(pin 15), the logic negative supply is V
SS_D
(pin 29),
(pin 6), and the negative supply for the RF receiver input is
V
SS_RX
(pin 7).
5.1.2
Digital I/O Interface
To allow compatible I/O signal levels, the TRF7960/61 has a separate supply input V
DD_I/O
(pin 16), with an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. This pin is used to supply the I/O interface pins (I/O_0 to I/O_7),
IRQ, SYS_CLK, and DATA_CLK pins of the reader. In typical applications, V
DD_I/O
V
DD_X is connected directly to to ensure that the I/O signal levels of the MCU are the same as the internal logic levels of the reader.

and
show the automatic-mode gain settings for 5-V and 3-V systems.
The automatic mode is the default configuration. In automatic mode, the regulators are automatically set every time the system is activated by asserting the EN input HIGH. The internal regulators are also automatically reconfigured every time the automatic regulator selection bit is set HIGH (on the rising edge).
The user can re-run the automatic mode setting from a state in which the automatic setting bit is already high by changing the automatic setting bit from high to low to high. The regulator-configuration algorithm adjusts the regulator outputs 250 mV below the V
IN level, but not higher than 5 V for V
DD_RF
, 3.5 V for

Power Modes
The chip has seven power states, which are controlled by two input pins (EN and EN2) and three bits in the chip status control register (00h).
The main reader enable input is EN (which has a threshold level of 1 V minimum). Any input signal level from 1.8 V to V
IN can be used. When EN is set high, all of the reader regulators are enabled, together with the 13.56-MHz oscillator, while the SYS_CLK (output clock for external micro controller) is made available.
The auxiliary-enable input EN2 has two functions. A direct connection from EN2 to V
IN ensures availability of the regulated supply (V
DD_X
) and an auxiliary clock signal (60 kHz) on the SYS_CLK output (same for the case EN = 0). This mode is intended for systems in which the MCU controlling the reader is also being supplied by the reader supply regulator (V
DD_X
) and the MCU clock is supplied by the SYS_CLK output of the reader. This allows the MCU supply and clock to be available during power-down.
A second function of the EN2 input is to enable start-up of the reader system from complete power down
(EN = 0, EN2 = 0). In this case the EN input is being controlled by the MCU or other system device that is without supply voltage during complete power down (thus unable to control the EN input). A rising edge applied to the EN2 input (which has a 1-V threshold level) starts the reader supply system and 13.56-MHz oscillator (identical to condition EN = 1). This start-up mode lasts until all of the regulators have settled and the 13.56-MHz oscillator has stabilized. If the EN input is set high by the MCU (or other system device), the reader stays active. If the EN input is not set high within 100
μ s after the SYS_CLK output is switched from auxiliary clock (60 kHz) to high-frequency clock (derived from the crystal oscillator), the reader system returns to complete power-down mode. This option can be used to wake the reader system from complete power down by using a push-button switch or by sending a single pulse.

During reader inactivity, the TRF7960/61 can be placed in power down-mode (EN = 0). The power down can be complete (EN = 0, EN2 = 0) with no function running, or partial (EN = 0, EN2 = 1) where the regulated supply (V
DD_X
) and auxiliary clock 60 kHz (SYS_CLK) are available to the MCU or other system device.
When EN is set high (or on rising edge of EN2 and then confirmed by EN = 1), the supply regulators are activated and the 13.56-MHz oscillator started. When the supplies are settled and the oscillator frequency is stable, the SYS_CLK output is switched from the auxiliary frequency of 60 kHz to the selected frequency derived from the crystal oscillator. At this point, the reader is ready to communicate and perform the required tasks. The control system (MCU) can then write appropriate bits to the chip status control register (address 00) and select the operation mode.
The STANDBY mode (bit 7 = 1 of register 00) is the active mode with the lowest current consumption. The reader is capable of recovering from this mode to full operation in 100
μ s.
The active mode with RF section disabled (bit 5 = 0 and bit 1 = 0 of register 00) is the next active mode with low power consumption. The reader is capable of recovering from this mode to full operation in 25
μ s.
The active mode with only the RF receiver section active (bit 1 = 1 of register 00) can be used to measure the external RF field (as described in RSSI measurements paragraph) if reader-to-reader anticollision is implemented.
The active mode with the entire RF section active (bit 5 = 1 of register 00) is the normal mode used for transmit and receive operations.

Receiver
–
Analog Section
The TRF7960/61 has two receiver inputs, RX_IN1 (pin 8) and RX_IN2 (pin 9). The two inputs are connected to an external filter to ensure that AM modulation from the tag is available on at least one of the two inputs. The external filter provides a 45 ° phase shift for the RX_IN2 input to allow further processing of a received PM-modulated signal (if it appears) from the tag. This architecture eliminates any possible communication holes that may occur from the tag to the reader.
The two RX inputs are multiplexed to two receiver channels: the main receiver and the auxiliary receiver.
Receiver input multiplexing is controlled by control bit B3 (pm-on) in the chip status control register
(address 00). The main receiver is composed of an RF-detection stage, gain, filtering with AGC, and a digitizing stage whose output is connected to the digital processing block. The main receiver also has an
RSSI measuring stage, which measures the strength of the demodulated signal.
The primary function of the auxiliary receiver is to measure the RSSI of the modulation signal. It also has similar RF-detection, gain, filtering with AGC, and RSSI blocks.
The default setting is RX_IN1 connected to the main receiver and RX_IN2 connected to the auxiliary receiver (bit pm_on = 0). When a response from the tag is detected by the RSSI, values on both inputs are measured and stored in the RSSI level register (address 0F). The control system reads the RSSI values and switches to the stronger receiver input (RX_IN1 or RX_IN2 by setting pm_on = 1).
The receiver input stage is an RF level detector. The RF amplitude level on RX_IN1 and RX_IN2 inputs should be approximately 3 V
PP for a V
IN supply level greater than 3.3 V. If the V
IN input peak-to-peak voltage level should not exceed the V
IN level. Note: V
IN level is lower, the RF is the main supply voltage to the device at pin 2.
The first gain and filtering stage following the RF-envelope detector has a nominal gain of 15 dB with an adjustable bandpass filter. The bandpass filter has adjustable 3-dB frequency steps (100 kHz to 400 kHz for high pass and 600 kHz to 1500 kHz for low pass). Following the bandpass filter is another gain-and-filtering stage with a nominal gain of 8 dB and with frequency characteristics identical to the first stage.
The internal filters are configured automatically, with internal presets for each new selection of a communication standard in the ISO control register (address 01). If required, additional fine tuning can be accomplished by writing directly to the RX special setting registers (address 0A).
The second receiver gain stage and digitizer stage are included in the AGC loop. The AGC loop is activated by setting the bit B2 = 1 (agc-on) in the chip status control register (address 00). When activated, the AGC continuously monitors the input signal level. If the signal level is significantly higher than an internal threshold level, gain reduction is activated. AGC activation is by default five times the internal threshold level. It can be reduced to three times the internal level by setting bit B1 = 1 (agcr) in the
RX special setting register (address 0A). The AGC action is fast, typically finishing after four sub-carrier pulses. By default, the AGC action is blocked after the first few pulses of the sub-carrier signal. This prevents the AGC from interfering with the reception of the remaining data packet. In certain situations, this type of blocking is not optimal, so it can be removed by setting B0 = 1 (no_lim) in the RX special
setting register (address 0A).
The bits of the RX special settings register (address 0A), which control the receiver analog section, are shown in
5.2.1
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
The RSSI measurement block measures the demodulated signal (except in the case of a direct command for RF-amplitude measurement described in the
section). The measuring system latches the peak value, so the RSSI level can be read after the end of the receive packet. The RSSI register values reset with every transmission by the reader. This allows an updated RSSI measurement for each new tag response.

Receiver

Digital Section
The received sub-carrier is digitized to form a digital representation of the modulated RF envelope. This digitized signal is applied to digital decoders and framing circuits for further processing.
The digital part of the receiver consists of two sections, which partly overlap. The first section is the bit decoders for the various protocols, whereas the second section consists of framing logic. The bit decoders convert the sub-carrier coded signal to a bit stream and also to the data clock. Thus, the sub-carrier-coded signal is transformed to serial data and the data clock is extracted. The decoder logic is designed for maximum error tolerance. This enables the decoders to successfully decode even partly corrupted (due to noise or interference) sub-carrier signals.
In the framing section, the serial bit-stream data is formatted in bytes. In this process, special signals like the start of frame (SOF), end of frame (EOF), start of communication, and end of communication are automatically removed. The parity bits and CRC bytes are checked and also removed. The end result is clean or raw data, which is sent to the 12-byte FIFO register where it can be read by the external microcontroller system.
The start of the receive operation (successfully received SOF) sets the flags in the IRQ and status register. The end of the receive operation is indicated to the external system (MCU) by sending an interrupt request (pin 13 IRQ). If the receive data packet is longer than 8 bytes, an interrupt is sent to the
MCU when the received data occupies 75% of the FIFO capacity to signal that the data should be removed from the FIFO.
Any error in data format, parity, or CRC is detected, and the external system is notified of the error by an interrupt-request pulse. The source condition of the interrupt-request pulse is available in the IRQ and
status register (address 0C). The bit-coding description of this register is given in

The main register controlling the digital part of the receiver is the ISO control register (address 01). By writing to this register, the user selects the protocol to be used. With each new write in this register, the default presets are loaded in all related registers, so no further adjustments in other registers are needed for proper operation.
shows the coding of the ISO control register. Note that the TRF7961 does not include the
ISO14443 functionality; its features/commands in this area are non-functional.
The framing section also supports the bit-collision detection as specified in ISO14443A. When a bit collision is detected, an interrupt request is sent and flag set in the IRQ and status register. The position of the bit collision is written in two registers. Register collision position, with address 0E, and in register
collision position and interrupt mask (address 0D), in which only the bits B7 and B6 are used for collision position. The collision position is presented as a sequential bit number, where the count starts immediately after the start bit. For example, the collision in the first bit of the UID would give the value 00 0001 0000 in the collision-position registers. The count starts with 0, and the first 16 bits are the command code and the
NVB byte. Note: the NVB byte is the number of valid bits.
The receive section also has two timers. The RX-wait-time timer is controlled by the value in the RX wait
time register (address 08). This timer defines the time after the end of the transmit operation in which the receive decoders are not active (held in reset state). This prevents incorrect detections resulting from transients following the transmit operation. The value of the RX wait time register defines this time in increments of 9.44
μ s. This register is preset at every write to ISO control register (address 01) according to the minimum tag-response time defined by each standard.
The RX no-response timer is controlled by the RX no response wait time register (address 07). This timer measures the time from the start of slot in the anti-collision sequence until the start of tag response. If there is no tag response in the defined time, an interrupt request is sent and a flag is set in IRQ status
control register. This enables the external controller to be relieved of the task of detecting empty slots. The wait time is stored in the register in increments of 37.76
μ s. This register is also preset, automatically, for every new protocol selection.

Transmitter
The transmitter section consists of the 13.56-MHz oscillator, digital protocol processing, and RF output stage.

The 13.56-MHz crystal oscillator (connected to pins 31 and 32) directly generates the RF frequency for the
RF output stage. Additionally, it also generates the clock signal for the digital section and clock signal displayed for the SYS_CLK (pin 27) which can be used by an external MCU system.
During partial power-down mode (EN = 0, EN2 = 1), the frequency of SYS_CLK is 60 kHz. During normal reader operation, SYS_CLK can be programmed by bits B4 and B5 in the modulator and SYS_CLK
control register (address 09); available clock frequencies are 13.56 MHz, 6.78 MHz, or 3.39 MHz.

NOTE
The crystal oscillator ’ s two external shunt capacitor values are calculated based on the crystal ’ s specified load capacitance. The external capacitors (connected to the OSC pins 30 and 31), are calculated as two capacitors in series plus C
S
(oscillator's gate internal input/output capacitance plus PCB stray capacitance). The stray capacitance (C
S
) can be estimated at approximately 5 ± 2 pF (typical).
As an example, given a crystal with a required load capacitance (C
L
) of 18 pF,
C
L
= ((C
1
× C
2
) / (C
1
+ C
2
)) + C
S
18 pF = ((27 pF × 27 pF) / (27 pF + 27 pF)) + 4.5 pF
Hence, from this example, a 27-pF capacitor would be placed on pins 30 and 31 to ensure proper crystal oscillator operation.
The transmit power level is selectable between half power of 100 mW (20 dBm) or full power of 200 mW
(23 dBm) when configured for 5-V automatic operation. The transmit output impedance is 8 Ω when configured for half power and 4 Ω when configured for full power. Selection of the transmit power level is
operation, the transmit power level is typically selectable between 33 mW (15 dBm) in half-power mode and 70 mW (18 dBm) in full-power mode (Vdd_RF at 3.3 V). Note that lower operating voltages result in reduced transmit power levels.
In normal operation, the transmit modulation is configured by the selected ISO control register (address
01). External control of the transmit modulation is possible by setting the ISO control register (address 01) to direct mode. While in direct mode, the transmit modulation is made possible by selecting the modulation type ASK or OOK at pin 12. External control of the modulation type is made possible only if enabled by setting B6 = 1 (en_ook_p) in the modulator and SYS_CLK control register (address 09). ASK modulation depth is controlled by bits B0, B1 and B2 in the Modulator and SYS_CLK Control register (address 09).
The range of the ASK modulation is 7% – 30%, or 100% (OOK).
The coding of the modulator and SYS_CLK control register is shown in
.
The length of the modulation pulse is defined by the protocol selected in the ISO control register. With a high-Q antenna, the modulation pulse is typically prolonged, and the tag detects a longer pulse than intended. For such cases, the modulation pulse length can be corrected by using the TX pulse length register. If the register contains all zeros, then the pulse length is governed by the protocol selection. If the register contains a value other than 00h, the pulse length is equal to the value of the register in 73.7-ns increments. This means the range of adjustment can be between 73.7 ns and 18.8
μ s.
5.2.3.2
Transmitter - Digital
20
The digital portion of the transmitter is very similar to that of the receiver. Before beginning data transmission, the FIFO should be cleared with a Reset command (0F). Data transmission is initiated with a selected command (described in the
section,
Table 5-29 ). The MCU then commands
the reader to do a continuous Write command (3Dh, see
Table 5-31 ) starting from register 1Dh. Data
written into register 1Dh is the TX length byte1 (upper and middle nibbles), while the following byte in register 1Eh is the TX length byte2 (lower nibble and broken byte length). The TX byte length determines when the reader sends the EOF byte. After the TX length bytes, FIFO data is loaded in register 1Fh with byte storage locations 0 to 11. Data transmission begins automatically after the first byte is written into the
FIFO. The TX length bytes and FIFO can be loaded with a continuous-write command because the addresses are sequential.
If the data length is longer than the allowable size of the FIFO, the external system (MCU) is warned when the majority of data from the FIFO has already been transmitted by sending an interrupt request with a flag in the IRQ register signaling FIFO low/high status. The external system should respond by loading the next data packet into the FIFO.

At the end of the transmit operation, the external system is notified by another interrupt request with a flag in the IRQ register that signals the end of TX.
The TX length register also supports incomplete bytes transmitted. The high two nibbles in register 1D and the nibble composed of bits B4 – B7 in register 1E store the number of complete bytes to be transmitted.
Bit 0 (in register 1E) is a flag that signals the presence of additional bits to be transmitted that do not form a complete byte. The number of bits are stored in bits B1 – B3 of the same register (1E).
The protocol is selected by the ISO control register (address 01), which also selects the receiver protocol.
As defined by the selected protocol, the reader automatically adds all the special signals, like start of communication, end of communication, SOF, EOF, parity bits, and CRC bytes. The data is then coded to the modulation pulse level and sent to the modulation control of the RF output stage. This means that the external system is only required to load the FIFO with data, and all the low-level coding is done automatically. Also, all registers used in transmission are automatically preset to the optimum value when a new selection is entered into the ISO control register.
Some protocols have options; two registers are provided to select the TX-protocol options. The first such register is ISO14443B TX options (address 02). It controls the SOF and EOF selection and EGT (extra guard time) selection for the ISO14443B protocol. The bit definitions of this register are given in
.
The second register controls the ISO14443 high bit-rate options. This register enables the use of different bit rates for RX and TX operations in the ISO14443 high bit-rate protocol. Additionally, it also selects the parity system for the ISO14443A high bit-rate selection. The bit definitions of this register are given in
.
The transmit section also has a timer that can be used to start the transmit operation at a precise time interval from a selected event. This is necessary if the tag requires a reply in an exact window of time following the tag response. The TX timer uses two registers (addresses 04 and 05). In first register
(address 04); two bits (B7 and B6) are used to define the trigger conditions. The remaining 6 bits are the upper bits and the 8 bits in register address 05 are lower bits, which are preset to the counter. The increment is 590 ns and the range of this counter is from 590 ns to 9.7 ms. The bit definitions (trigger conditions) are shown in

Direct Mode
Direct mode allows the user to configure the reader in one of two ways. Direct mode 0 (bit 6 = 0, as defined in ISO control register) allows the user to use only the front-end functions of the reader, bypassing the protocol implementation in the reader. For transmit functions, the user has direct access to the transmit modulator through the MOD pin (pin 14). On the receive side, the user has direct access to the sub-carrier signal (digitized RF envelope signal) on I/O_6 (pin 23).
Direct mode1 (bit 6 = 1, as defined in ISO control register) uses the sub-carrier signal decoder of the selected protocol (as defined in ISO control register). This means that the receive output is not the sub-carrier signal but the decoded serial bit stream and bit clock signals. The serial data is available on
I/O_6 (pin 23) and the bit clock is available on I/O_5 (pin 22). The transmit side is identical; the user has direct control over the RF modulation through the MOD input. This mode is provided so that the user can implement a protocol that has the same bit coding as one of the protocols implemented in the reader, but needs a different framing format.
To select direct mode, the user must first choose which direct mode to enter by writing B6 in the ISO
control register. This bit determines if the receive output is the direct sub-carrier signal (B6 = 0) or the serial data of the selected decoder. If B6 = 1, then the user must also define which protocol should be used for bit decoding by writing the appropriate setting in the ISO control register.
The reader actually enters the direct mode when B6 (direct) is set to 1 in the chip status control register.
Direct mode starts immediately. The write command should not be terminated with a stop condition (see communication protocol), because the stop condition terminates the direct mode and clears B6. This is necessary as the direct mode uses one or two I/O pins (I/O_6, I/O_5). Normal parallel communication is not possible in direct mode. Sending a stop condition terminates direct mode.
shows the different configurations available in direct mode.
• In mode 0, the reader is used as an AFE only, and protocol handling is bypassed.
• In mode 1, framing is not done, but SOF and EOF are present. This allows for a user-selectable framing level based on an existing ISO standard.
•
In mode 2, data is ISO-standard formatted. SOF, EOF, and error checking are removed, so the microprocessor receives only bytes of raw data via a 12-byte FIFO.

Register Preset
After power-up and the EN pin low-to-high transition, the reader is in the default mode. The default configuration is ISO15693, single sub-carrier, high data rate, 1-out-of-4 operation. The low-level option registers (02 … 0B) are automatically set to adapt the circuitry optimally to the appropriate protocol parameters.
When entering another protocol (writing to the ISO control register 01), the low-level option registers
(02 … 0B) are automatically configured to the new protocol parameters.
After selecting the protocol, it is possible to change some low-level register contents if needed. However, changing to another protocol and then back, reloads the default settings, and the user must reload the custom settings.
The Clo1 and Clo0 (register 09) bits, which define the microcontroller frequency available on the
SYS_CLK pin, are the only two bits in the configuration registers that are not cleared during protocol selection.

If more than two edges are observed in 100 μ s, the window comparator voltage is increased. The procedure is repeated until the number of edges (changes of logical state) of the digitized reception signal is less than 2 (in 100 μ s). The command can reduce the input sensitivity in 5-dB increments up to 15 dB. This command ensures better operation in a noisy environment.
The gain setting is reset to maximum gain at EN = 0, POR = 1.

Test External RF (RSSI at RX input with TX OFF)
This command can be used in active mode when the RF receiver is switched ON, and the RF output is switched OFF (bit B1=1 in the chip status register, rec-on. See
Table 5-9 ). The level of the RF signal
received on the antenna is measured and displayed in the RSSI levels register. The relation between the
3-bit code and the external RF field strength [A/m] must be determined by calculation or by experiments for each antenna design. The antenna Q and connection to the RF input influence the result. The nominal relation between the RF peak-to-peak voltage at the receiver inputs and its corresponding RSSI level is presented as follows.

If the direct command test RF internal or test RF external is used immediately after activation, it should be preceded with a command enable RX to activate the RX section. For proper execution of the test RF commands, the RX section must be enabled. This happens automatically when a data exchange between the reader and the tag is done, or by sending a direct command enable RX.
5.4.10 Test Internal RF (RSSI at RX input with TX ON)
This command measures the level of the RF carrier at the receive inputs. Its operating range is between
300 mVp and 2.1 Vp with a step size of 300 mV. The two values are displayed in the RSSI levels register.
The command is intended for diagnostic purposes to set the correct RX_IN levels. The optimum RX_IN input level is approximately 1.6 Vp, or an RSSI level of 5 or 6. The nominal relationship between the input
RF peak level and the RSSI code is presented as follows.

5.4.11 Block Receiver
The block receiver command puts the digital part of receiver (bit decoder and framer) in reset mode. This is useful in an extremely noisy environment, where the noise level could otherwise cause a constant switching of the sub-carrier input of the digital part of the receiver. The receiver (if not in reset) would try to
catch a SOF signal, and if the noise pattern matched the SOF pattern, an interrupt would be generated, falsely signaling the start of an RX operation. A constant flow of interrupt requests can be a problem for the external system (MCU), so the external system can stop this by putting the receive decoders in reset mode. The reset mode can be terminated in two ways. The external system can send the enable receiver command. The reset mode is also automatically terminated at the end of a TX operation. The receiver can stay in reset after end of TX if the RX wait time register (address 08) is set. In this case, the receiver is enabled at the end of the wait time following the transmit operation.
5.4.12 Enable Receiver
This command clears the reset mode in the digital part of the receiver if the reset mode was entered by the block receiver command.

Reader Communication Interface
5.5.1
Introduction
The communication interface to the reader can be configured in two ways: a parallel 8-pin interface and a
Data_Clk or a serial peripheral interface (SPI).
These modes are mutually exclusive; only one mode can be used at a time in the application.
When the SPI interface is selected, the unused I/O_2, I/O_1, and I/O_0 pins must be hard-wired according to
. At power up, the reader samples the status of these three pins. If they are not the same (all
High or all Low) it enters one of the possible SPI modes.
The reader always behaves as the slave while the microcontroller (MCU) behaves as the master device.
The MCU initiates all communications with the reader and is also used to communicate with the higher levels (application layer). The reader has an IRQ pin to prompt the MCU for attention if the reader detects a response from the proximity/vicinity integrated circuit card (PICC/VICC).

The MSB (bit 7) determines if the word is to be used as a command or as an address. The last two columns of
show the function of the separate bits if either address or command is written. Data is expected once the address word is sent. In continuous-address mode (Cont. mode = 1), the first data that follows the address is written (or read) to (from) the given address. For each additional data, the address is incremented by one. Continuous mode can be used to write to a block of control registers in a single stream without changing the address; for example, setup of the predefined standard control registers from the MCU ’ s non-volatile memory to the reader. In non-continuous address mode (simple addressed mode), only one data word is expected after the address.
Address mode is used to write or read the configuration registers or the FIFO. When writing more than 12 bytes to the FIFO, the continuous address mode should be set to 1.
The command mode is used to enter a command resulting in reader action (initialize transmission, enable reader, and turn reader On/Off...)
An example of expected communication between MCU and reader is shown below.

Communication is ended by:
• the StopSmpl condition, where the falling edge on the I/O_7 pin is expected while CLK is high
• the StopCont condition, where the I/O_7 pin must have a successive rising and falling edge while CLK is low in order to reset the parallel interface and be ready for the new communication sequence
The StopSmpl condition is also used to terminate the direct mode.

5.6.1
Receive
At the start of a receive operation (when SOF is successfully detected), B6 is set in the IRQ status register. An interrupt request is sent to the MCU at the end of the receive operation if the receive data string was shorter than or equal to 8 bytes. The MCU receives the interrupt request, then checks to determine the reason for the interrupt by reading the IRQ status register (address 0Ch), after which the
MCU reads the data from the FIFO.
If the received packet is longer than 8 bytes, the interrupt is sent before the end of the receive operation when the ninth byte is loaded into the FIFO (75% full). The MCU should again read the content of the IRQ
status register to determine the cause of the interrupt request. If the FIFO is 75% full (as marked with flag
B5 in IRQ status register and by reading the FIFO status register), the MCU should respond by reading the data from FIFO to make room for new incoming receive data. When the receive operation is finished, the interrupt is sent and the MCU must check how many words are still present in the FIFO before it finishes reading.
If the reader detects a receive error, the corresponding error flag is set (framing error, CRC error) in the
IRQ status register, which indicates that the MCU reception was completed incorrectly.
5.6.2
Transmit
Before beginning data transmission, the FIFO should be cleared with a reset command (0F). Data transmission is initiated with a selected command (described in the
section,
Table 5-29 ). The MCU then commands the reader to do a continuous write command (3Dh, see
middle nibbles), while the following byte in register 1Eh is the TX length byte 2 (lower nibble and broken byte length). Note that the TX byte length determines when the reader sends the EOF byte. After the TX
length bytes are written, FIFO data is loaded in register 1Fh with byte storage locations 0 to 11. Data transmission begins automatically after the first byte is written into the FIFO. The loading of TX length
bytes and the FIFO can be done with a continuous-write command, as the addresses are sequential.
At the start of transmission, the flag B7 (Irq_tx) is set in the IRQ status register. If the transmit data is shorter than or equal to 4 bytes, the interrupt is sent only at the end of the transmit operation. If the number of bytes to be transmitted is higher or equal to 5, then the interrupt is generated. This occurs also when the number of bytes in the FIFO reaches 3. The MCU should check the IRQ status register and
FIFO status register and then load additional data to the FIFO, if needed. At the end of the transmit operation, an interrupt is sent to inform the MCU that the task is complete.

5.7
Serial Interface Communication
When an SPI interface is required, parallel I/O pins, I/O_2, I/O_1, and I/O_0, must be hard wired according to Table 5-31. On power up, the reader looks for the status of these pins; if they are not the same (not all high, or not all low), the reader enters into one of two possible SPI modes.
The serial communications work in the same manner as the parallel communications with respect to the
FIFO, except for the following condition. On receiving an IRQ from the reader, the MCU reads the reader's
IRQ register to determine how to service the reader. After this, the MCU must to do a dummy read to clear the reader's IRQ status register. The dummy read is required in SPI mode because the reader's IRQ status register needs an additional clock cycle to clear the register. This is not required in parallel mode because the additional clock cycle is included in the Stop condition.
A procedure for a dummy read is as follows:
A. Starting the dummy read:
(a) When using slave select (SS): set SS bit low.
(b) When not using SS: start condition is when SCLK is high (See
).
B. Send address word to IRQ status register (0Ch) with read and continuous address mode bits set to 1
(See
C. Read 1 byte (8 bits) from IRQ status register (0Ch).
D. Dummy-read 1 byte from register 0Dh (collision position and interrupt mask).
E. Stopping the dummy read:
(a) When using slave select (SS): set SS bit high.
(b) When not using SS: stop condition when SCLK is high (See
).
5.7.1
SPI Interface Without SS* (Slave Select) Pin
The serial interface without the slave select pin must use delimiters for the start and stop conditions.
Between these delimiters, the address, data, and command words can be transferred. All words must be 8 bits long with MSB transmitted first.

In this mode, a rising edge on data-in (I/O_7, pin 24) while SCLK is high resets the serial interface and prepares it to receive data. Data-in can change only when SCLK is low and is taken by the reader on the
SCLK rising edge. Communication is terminated by the stop condition when the data-in falling edge occurs during a high SCLK period.
5.7.2
SPI Interface With SS* (Slave Select) Pin
The serial interface is in reset while the SS* signal is high. Serial data-in (MOSI) changes on the falling edge, and is validated in the reader on the rising edge, as shown in
. Communication is terminated when the SS* signal goes high.
All words must be 8 bits long with the MSB transmitted first.

SPI Interface Communication (Read Mode)
The read command is sent out on the MOSI pin, MSB first, in the first eight clock cycles. MOSI data changes on the falling edge, and is validated in the reader on the rising edge, as shown in
.
During the write cycle, the serial data out (MISO) is not valid. After the last read command bit (B0) is validated at the eighth rising edge of SCLK, after half a clock cycle, valid data can be read on the MISO pin at the falling edge of SCLK. It takes eight clock edges to read out the full byte (MSB first).
Note:
When using the hardware SPI (for example, an MSP430 hardware SPI) to implement the foregoing feature, care must be taken to switch the SCLK polarity after write phase for proper read operation.
The example clock polarity for the MSP430-specific environment is shown in the write-mode and read-mode boxes of
Figure 5-10 . See the USART-SPI chapter for any specific microcontroller family
for further information on the setting the appropriate clock polarity.
This clock polarity switch must be done for all read (single, continuous) operations.
The MOSI (serial data out) should not have any transitions (all high or all low) during the read cycle. Also, the SS* should be low during the whole write and read operation.
The continuous read operation is illustrated in

The first counter is a 4-bit FIFO byte counter (bits B0 – B3 in register 1Ch) that keeps track of the number of bytes loaded into the FIFO. If the number of bytes in the FIFO is n, the register value is n – 1 (number of bytes in FIFO register). If 8 bytes are in the FIFO, the FIFO counter (bits B0 – B3 in register 1Ch) has the value 7.
A second counter (12 bits wide) indicates the number of bytes being transmitted (registers 1Dh and 1Eh) in a data frame. An extension to the transmission-byte counter is a 4-bit broken-byte counter also provided in register 1Eh (bits B0-B3). Together these counters make up the TX length value that determines when the reader generates the EOF byte.
FIFO status flags are as follows:
1. FIFO overflow (bit B4 of register 1Ch) – indicates that the FIFO was loaded too soon
2. FIFO level too low (bit B5 of register 1Ch) – indicates that only three bytes are left to be transmitted
(Can be used during transmission)
3. FIFO level high (bit B6 of register 1Ch) – indicates that nine bytes are already loaded into the FIFO
(Can be used during reception to generate a FIFO reception IRQ. This is to notify the MCU to service the reader in time to ensure a continuous data stream.)
During transmission, the FIFO is checked for an almost-empty condition, and during reception for an almost-full condition. The maximum number of bytes that can be loaded into the FIFO in a single sequence is 12 bytes. (Note: The number of bytes in a frame, transmitted or received, can be greater than
12 bytes.)
During transmission, the MCU loads the reader's FIFO (or during reception the MCU removes data from the FIFO), and the FIFO counter counts the number of bytes being loaded into the FIFO. Meanwhile, the byte counter keeps track of the number of bytes being transmitted. An interrupt request is generated if the number of bytes in the FIFO is less than 3 or greater than 9, so that MCU can send new data or remove the data as necessary. The MCU also checks the number of data bytes to be sent, so as to not surpass the value defined in TX length bytes. The MCU also signals the transmit logic when the last byte of data is sent or was removed from the FIFO during reception. Transmission starts automatically after the first byte is written into FIFO.

External Power Amplifier Application
Applications requiring an extended read range can use an external power amplifier together with the
TRF7960/61. This can be implemented by adding an external power amplifier on the transmit side and external sub-carrier detectors on the receive side.
To implement the external power amplification feature, certain registers must be programmed as shown below.
1. Set bit B6 of the Regulator and I/O Control register to 1 (see
).
This setting has two functions, first to provide a modulated signal for the transmitter if needed, and second to configure the TRF7960/61 receiver inputs for an external demodulated sub-carrier input.
2. Set bit B3 of the modulation and SYS_CLK control register to 1 (see
This function configures the ASK / OOK pin for either a digital or analog output (B3 = 0 enables a digital output, B3 = 1 enables an analog output).

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
