The TRF7960/61 is an integrated analog front end and data-framing system for a 13.56-MHz RFID reader system. Built-in programming options make it suitable for a wide range of applications for proximity and vicinity RFID systems.

The reader is configured by selecting the desired protocol in the control registers. Direct access to all control registers allows fine tuning of various reader parameters as needed.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 50-Ω 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. 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.

MSP430F5438實驗板(MSP-EXP430F5438)

The MSP430F5438 Experimenter Board (MSP-EXP430F5438) is a development platform for the latest generation MSP430 MCUs. It features a 100-pin socket which supports the MSP430F5438 and other devices with similar pinouts. The socket allows for quick upgrades to newer devices or quick applications changes. It is also compatible with many TI low-power RF wireless evaluation modules such as the CC2520EMK and the TRF7960TB module discussed here in this document.

The Experimenter Board helps designers quickly learn and develop using the new F5xx MCUs, which provide the industry’s lowest active power consumption, more memory and leading integration for applications such as energy harvesting, wireless sensing and automatic metering infrastructure (AMI).
