This includes industries such as food, retail, medical, and pharmaceutical. This design implements a cold chain monitoring system which measures temperature, light, and humidity, then logs the sensor data to non-volatile(FRAM) memory. The design includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) interface for wireless communication and is powered from a CR2032 coin cell battery with a focus on low power to maximize the battery lifetime. The MSP430FR5969 microcontroller communicates with all of the sensor devices via an I2C compatible interface. The MSP430FR5969 also communicates with the RF430CL331H NFC transponder via this interface. This board does not include any physical user interface, such as switches. An NFC enabled smartphone can be used to send configuration to the board. This includes configuration of the RealTime Clock (RTC), both time and date, polling interval, Fahrenheit/Celsius, and sensor mode (temperature (mode 0), temperature and light (mode 1), temperature and humidity (mode 2), temperature, light, and humidity (mode 3). In addition, control commands to start measurements, stop measurements, clear data, and reset can also be sent to the board via NFC. To ensure the lowest power operation, the power rail for the MSP430 and all I2C compatible devices has been separated. The power rail to the I2C compatible devices is controlled by the MSP430, so the devices are only powered as needed during sensor measurements or RF communication. When idle, the MSP430 is in low power mode and the power rail to the devices is off, resulting in current consumption under 1 uA. 3 Block Diagram Coin Cell Battery (CR2032) 3.0 Volts NFC Enabled Smartphone Dynamic NFC Transponder (RF430CL331H) I2C MCU I2C Temperature Sensor (TMP112) I2C I2C Humidity Sensor (HDC1000) Light Sensor (OPT3001) Figure 1: System Block Diagram TIDU821 - September 2015Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated 3 www.ti.com 3.1 Highlighted Products The Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design features the following devices:  RF430CL331H - Dynamic NFC Interface Transponder  MSP430FR5969IRGZ - FRAM Mixed Signal Microcontroller  TMP112 - High-Accuracy, Low-Power, Digital Temperature Sensor With I2C/SMBus™ Compatible Interface  HDC1000 - Low Power, 3% Accuracy Digital Humidity Sensor  OPT3001 - Ambient Light Sensor  TPD1E10B06 - Single Channel ESD in 0402 package with 10 pF Capacitance and 6-V Breakdown For more information on each of these devices, see the respective product folders at www.ti.com TIDU821 - September 2015Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated 4 www.ti.com 3.1.1 RF430CL331H Description The TI Dynamic NFC/RFID Interface Transponder RF430CL331H is an NFC Tag Type 4 device that combines a contactless NFC/RFID interface and a wired I2C compatible interface to connect the device to a host. The NDEF message can be written and read from the integrated I 2C compatible serial communication interface and can also be accessed and updated over a contactless interface using the integrated ISO/IEC 14443 Type B compliant RF interface that supports up to 848 kbps. The device requests responses to NFC Type 4 commands on demand from the host controller and stores only a portion of the NDEF message in its buffer at any one time. This allows NDEF message size to be limited only by the memory capacity of the host controller and specification limitations. Support of read caching, prefetching, and write automatic acknowledgment features allows for greater data throughput. This device enables NFC connection handover for an alternative carrier like Bluetooth ®, Bluetooth ® Low Energy (BLE), or Wi-Fi as an easy and intuitive pairing process or authentication process with only a tap. As a general NFC interface, the RF430CL331H enables end equipment to communicate with the fast growing infrastructure of NFC-enabled smart phones, tablets, and notebooks.

The device offers an accuracy of ±0.5°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. IC temperature sensors are highly linear and do not require complex calculations or lookup tables to derive the temperature. The calibration for improved accuracy feature allows users to calibrate for accuracy as good as ±0.17°C. The on-chip 12-bit ADC offers resolutions down to 0.0625°C. The TMP112 device features SMBus™, two-wire and I2C interface compatibility, and allows up to four devices on one bus. The device also features a SMBus alert function. The device is specified to operate over supply voltages from 1.4 V to 3.6 V with the maximum quiescent current of 10 µA over the full operating range. The 1.6-mm × 1.6-mm SOT563 package is 68% smaller footprint than an SOT23 package. The temperature sensor in the TMP112 device is the chip itself. Thermal paths run through the package leads as well as the plastic package. The package leads provide the primary thermal path because of the lower thermal resistance of the metal. The TMP112 is ideal for temperature measurement in communication, computer, consumer, environmental, industrial, and instrumentation applications. It is specified for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

The device utilizes a 3KB SRAM buffer to receive commands from an NFC enabled reader/writer and also communicate back the response. The integrated ISO14443B-compliant RF interface supports data rates from 106 kbps to 848 kbps. The RF430CL331H was chosen to allow for a low cost, dual interface (wired and wireless) transponder which allows for communication to/from a host controller. This functionality is not possible with a standard passive NFC transponder (wireless only). 4.1.2 Microcontroller Selection The MSP430 ultra-low-power (ULP) FRAM platform combines uniquely embedded FRAM and a holistic ultra-low-power system architecture, allowing innovators to increase performance at lowered energy budgets. FRAM technology combines the speed, flexibility, and endurance of SRAM with the stability and reliability of flash at much lower power. The MSP430FR5969 was chosen for the large (64kB) amount of non-volatile memory along with ultra-low power operation, which is especially important for applications such as data loggers where the system is in low power mode a majority of the time. 4.1.3 Digital Temperature Sensor The TMP112 digital temperature sensor device was chosen for this TI Design to provide high accuracy temperature measurements, while requiring miniscule power and board space. The TMP112 device is a digital output temperature sensor in a 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm footprint SOT563 package. It is specified for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and it offers an accuracy of ±0.5°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. Its maximum quiescent current is 10 µA over the full operating range. 4.1.4 Humidity Sensor The HDC1000 humidity sensor device was chosen to enable humidity measurements in the Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design. This humidity sensor is functional within the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. The sensor element of the HDC1000 is placed on the bottom part of the device, which makes the HDC1000 robust against dirt, dust, and other environmental contaminants. 4.1.5 Light Sensor The OPT3001 light sensor device was chosen to enable ambient light measurements in the Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design. TIDU821 - September 2015Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated 12 www.ti.com 4.1.6 ESD Protection The TPD1E10B06 Single Channel ESD protection device was chosen to protect the Spy Bi-Wire (2wire JTAG) programming interface. The device offers over ±30 KV IEC air-gap, over ±30 KV contact ESD protection, and has an ESD clamp circuit with a back-to-back diode for bipolar or bidirectional signal support. The 10 pF line capacitance is suitable for a wide range of applications supporting data rates up to 400 Mbps. The 0402 package is industry standard and convenient for component placement in space saving applications. The TPD1E10B06 is characterized for operation over ambient air temperature of –40°C to +125°C. 4.1.7 Coin Cell Battery The CR2032 lithium-ion coin cell battery was chosen as the power source of this design due to its ability of providing long shelf life, continuous voltage supply (220 mAh at 3 V) and its great availability on the market. Also, the CR2032 is commonly used in small, low power applications like this data logger due to its small form factor (20 mm diameter x 3.2 mm thickness) and low cost. The CR2032 operating temperature range is –30°C to +60°C. Among all the integrated circuits and electrical components in the Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design board the CR2032 have the narrower temperature range. Therefore, the specified operating temperature range of the data loggers is –30°C to +60°C.

This design is 59 mm x 43 mm and includes two mounting holes on opposing corners to allow for mounting the board in specific test environments. Figure 8 Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design All components are located on the top side of the PCB. The antenna coil wraps around the edge and uses both top and bottom layers. The board has been designed for use with a CR2032 battery with the Battery holder (B1). J3 is used for programming and debug of the MSP430 microcontroller. 5.2 Programming the board An MSP-FET must be used to program the Reference Design board. The appropriate connections between the Reference Design hardware and the MSP-FET programming tool are shown in Table 1. For convenience, the pinout diagram of the MSP-FET debugger is shown in Figure 9: MSP- FET JTAG Connector Pinout. Once the electrical connections between the Reference Design board and the MSPFET are complete, then Code Composer Studio can be used to program the board.

Since our MSP430F5969 uses FRAM, which acts like non-volatile RAM, all previous states, settings, and measurements are preserved. If the data logger has never been initialized, the welcome message is written. This feature of FRAM also allows for easy detection of a previous power loss. If the firmware determines that power was lost while logging, a warning message will be added. Time and date will be reset because there is no way to determine the length of the power loss. The Controller state diagram in Figure 12 shows the high level flow. Power Up Data logger Memory Initialized? No Yes Data logger in Reset State?

Once triggered, it checks if there is still memory space available. If so, depending on the mode selected, it calls the respective drivers for each sensor. These measurements are packaged along with a time stamp and stored in the data logger memory block. The data logger state diagram is show in Figure 13. There is 46KB of data logger memory space.

Utilization of a common data format allows for all NFC compliant devices to exchange data in a “well known” format. NDEF allows for many different record types ranging from simple text records, URL, Vcard, and Bluetooth Connection Handover just to name a few. In this application, we are using simple text records to display the measurements. Figure 14 shows an example of a NDEF tag application mapping. Figure 14: NDEF tag Application Mapping Example There is a state machine in the NFC stack that emulates this NDEF memory structure. The RF430CL331H generates requests for each file as required to respond to the NFC reader. The RF430CL331H supports files up to 64KB. This enables streaming of all the measurements in a single NDEF message, preventing the need to tap the phone more than once or needing custom applications.

For this test, two data loggers were placed in a Delta 9064 Environmental Test Chamber. Data logger # 1 was configured to log every 5 minutes, in Temperature reading mode only (Mode 0). Data logger #2 was configured to log every 5 minutes, in Temperature + Humidity + Light Mode (Mode 3). Data logger #2 was added to the test to confirm that the accuracy of TMP112 readings won’t be affected when other sensors are in use at the same time. Figure 15: Delta 9064 Environmental Test Chamber and Test Setup Two tests were performed. For test #1, the test chamber was programmed to do temperature steps every 10°C, from 0°C to 60°C. For test #2, the chamber was programed to decrease from 0°C to -30°C at a -10°C step rate. Table 4 shows the data logger readings for these two tests. These readings confirm the accuracy of TMP112 in this design is around +/- 0.2°C (typ), +/- 1.0°C (max), without calibration.

The bottom layer contains a ground pour and signal routing and the top layer contains signal routing only. In order to maximize the RF performance and reduce the PCB dimensions, the antenna coil is wrapped around the outside edge of the PCB and components are placed in the middle of the PCB. It is important to provide spacing between the antenna coil and any large metallic components such as batteries or ground pours. For all of the TI products used in this TI Design, ensure that care is taken to adhere to the layout guidelines given in the respective datasheets. 8.3 Bill of Materials To download the Bill of Materials for each board, see the design files at http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA00524 8.3.1 Layout Prints To download the Layout Prints for each board, see the design files at http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA00524 8.4 Altium Project To download the Altium project files for each board, see the design files at http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA00524 8.5 Gerber files To download the Gerber files for each board, see the design files at http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00524 8.6 Assembly Drawings To download the Assembly Drawings for each board, see the design files at http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00524 9 Software Files To download the software files for this reference design, please see the link at http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00524 TIDU821 - September 2015Ultralow Power Multi-sensor Data Logger with NFC Interface Reference Design Copyright © 2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated 25 www.ti.com 10 References For additional references, see the following: 1.
