To evaluate the TRF7970A beyond the standalone mode, which only requires that power be applied through the USB connector, the TRF7970A EVM GUI must be used. CAUTION The TRF7970A EVM contains components that can be potentially damaged by electrostatic discharge. Always store and transport the EVM in the supplied ESD bag when not in use. Always handle the TRF7970A EVM in an ESD controlled environment. For more information regarding proper ESD handling procedures see the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) application report, SSYA008. 1.2 Hardware Description As shown in Figure 1, the TRF7970A EVM is a self-contained development platform that can be used to independently evaluate or test the performance of the TRF7970A IC, custom firmware, customer designed magnetic dipole antennas, or potential transponders for a customer defined RFID or NFC Forum application. The TRF7970AEVM is configured from the factory in parallel communication mode between the MSP430F2370 and the TRF7970A using 0-Ω resistors between HDR_4 and HDR_5 pads. On power up, the preloaded MSP430F2370 firmware also checks the voltage level of P2.3 (pin 15), which is factory configured at HDR_7 to have I/O_SEL connected to Parallel connection by a 0-Ω resistor. To change to SPI with Slave Select operation, move all the 0-Ω resistors connecting HDR_4 and HDR_5 together so that HDR_5 and HDR_6 are connected and move the 0-Ω resistor on HDR_7 so that I/O_SEL and SPI are connected instead. The preloaded MSP430 firmware handles either hardware configuration case, parallel or SPI with SS. 4 TRF7970A Evaluation Module (EVM) SLOU321A – August 2011 – Revised June 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011–2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated TRF7970A EVM Description www.ti.com PCB Magnetic Dipole Power and Protocol LED Indicators Resistor R3 J3 (SMA) Reset Switch MSP430F2370 TRF7970A MSP430 JTAG Interface MSP430F2370/TRF7970A Communication Header (default configuration shown) 13.56-MHz Crystal I/O_SEL Jumper USB Interface Figure 1.

When testing application specific antennas using J3 (SMA port), disconnect or remove R3 to maintain 50-Ω impedance out from the TRF7970A circuitry to the application specific antenna being tested (see Figure 1). 1.3 Standalone Mode Description The TRF7970A EVM has a standalone mode in which when power is applied (by the USB connector), then the preloaded MSP430F2370 firmware initializes the TRF7970A IC for full power operation, illuminates the power LED, and begins a polling loop for ISO15693, ISO14443A, and ISO14443B transponders. When any (or all) of these types of transponders are presented to the onboard antenna, the corresponding LED is illuminated (see silkscreen or actual TRF7970A PCBA in kit or in Figure 1). The TRF7970A EVM kit comes with a sample selection of Texas Instruments ISO15693 transponders. When the TRF7970A EVM is connected to a PC and the TRF7970A EVM GUI is started, the preloaded MSP430F2370 firmware detects this, stops the polling loop, and turns off any protocol LEDs that were illuminated to take direct host commands. 1.4 GUI Software Description The TRF7970A EVM can be used with the TRF7970A EVM PC GUI to demonstrate the traditional RFID reader and writer operations as well as NFC Forum Initiator and Target operations. As the EVM enumerates as a serial port on a PC, the EVM can be used with almost any simple serial terminal based program such as (but not limited to) HyperTerminal, Docklight, or LabVIEW. How to use the TRF7970A EVM with the GUI is described in Section 2. 6 TRF7970A Evaluation Module (EVM) SLOU321A – August 2011 – Revised June 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011–2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated Using the TRF7970A EVM With PC GUI www.ti.com 2 Using the TRF7970A EVM With PC GUI 2.1 USB Driver The TRF7970A EVM has SiLabs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge IC onboard. The USB driver must be loaded onto the PC before starting the TRF7970A EVM GUI. https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/USBtoUARTbridgeVCPdrivers.aspx 2.2 TRF7970A EVM GUI Startup The TRF7970A EVM GUI has a COM port auto-detect function that is limited to COM ports 1 through 12. Therefore, check the COM port that is enumerated after plugging in the TRF7970A EVM but before starting the GUI. Verify that the COM port is within this range by using Windows Control Panel, System, Hardware Tab, Device Manager, Ports, Port Properties, Port Settings and also verify that the COM port settings are 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (115200 8N1). The TRF7970A EVM GUI should be downloaded from http://ti.com, unzipped into dedicated folder, and then executable can be launched. Figure 2 shows the first screen that is displayed when the executable launches and automatically connects to the TRF7970A EVM. Scroll down in the data log window with the slider bar on the right side to see that the GUI has connected to the TRF7970A EVM. Figure 2. TRF7970A EVM GUI Connected Figure 2 shows TRF7970A EVM connected to COM3 (as an example). The EVM and the GUI are now ready to be used together to demonstrate the RFID reader and writer and NFC Forum operations.

Set the transponder and tag request flags as appropriate for the given operation (details on this to follow for each command) and by using the Set Protocol button in the GUI first before executing any commands so that the TRF7970A register settings match what is being sent to and expected back from the transponders in the field of the EVM antenna. Note that there are only two mandatory commands in ISO/IEC 15693 standard (Inventory and Stay Quiet). All other available commands are either Optional (as defined by the ISO/IEC 15693 standard) or Custom (as defined by the transponder IC manufacturer by means of the framework outlined in ISO/IEC 15693 standard). Always use the transponder or tag IC specific data sheet in conjunction with this guide to ensure settings and commands match what the transponder is designed to support. To avoid any misunderstanding regarding the transponder or tag request flags, see Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5 (taken from the ISO/IEC 15693-3 standard). Table 3.

They are used, as the name implies, to address each VICC uniquely and individually during the anticollision loop and for one to one exchange between a VCD and a VICC. The format of the UID is shown in Table 6. Table 6. ISO/IEC 15693 UID Format Byte Position Bits MSB 64 LSB 57 56 Hexadecimal Representation 0xE0 49 48 IC Manufacturing Code (TI = 0x07) 1 IC Serial Number As shown in Table 6, the ISO/IEC 15693 standard mandates the MSByte of the UID be 0xE0. The standard also mandates that the IC manufacturing code byte be according to the list shown in ISO/IEC7816-6. The remaining 48 bits (6 bytes) are to be assigned by the IC manufacturer. There is a slotted ALOHA style anticollision algorithm used for the inventory sequence and as stated above, the purpose is to retrieve the UIDs of the tags in the field. This algorithm does not use timeslots but rather is keyed off nibbles of the UID, starting with the lower half of the LSByte and as collisions are detected, a mask value is incremented until the collisions seen by the VCD are arbitrated. As indicated above by bit 6 of Table 5, the Inventory command can be issued either as a single slot command or a sixteen slot command. If the command is issued as a single slot and there are two or more transponders in the field, only a collision is indicated and no arbitration takes place. This is useful in applications where only one transponder is allowed to be in the field at a time, as the detection of a collision would be considered quite useful. Another technique of pre-sorting transponders that are present in the field is to pre-program different AFI values on the transponders, then issue the inventory command (single or sixteen slot) with one of those values in the AFI field and also indicate that this field is present via the request flags (see Table 5, bit 5). Only the tags with the corresponding AFI value respond. See Section 2.3.10 and the ISO/IEC 15693-3 Standard for more information. To 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. perform single slot inventory using the GUI: Select the radio button for Inventory. Select Tag Flags accordingly (see Figure 3 for one example). Click Set Protocol.

The addressed pair of blocks must contain one even and one odd block (for example, block numbers 2 and 3 or block numbers 6 and 7). The start block must have the even address (for example, number2, number4, or number6). If the odd address is used in the start block, the transponder does not execute the write operation and returns the error code 0xA1. If one or both of the addressed blocks are locked, the transponder does not execute the write operation and returns the error code 0xA2. The transmitted LSB block data are written to the LSB of the even addressed block (bytes 0-3) and the MSB transmitted data to the odd addressed block (bytes 4-7). 2.3.16.2 Lock Two Blocks (Command Code 0xA3) When receiving the Lock_2_Block Command, the Transponder shall lock the addressed blocks and report the success of the operation in the Response. The addressed pair of blocks must contain one even and one odd block (for example, block numbers 2 and 3 or block numbers 6 and 7). The start block must have the even address (for example, number2, number4, or number6). If the odd address is used in the start block, the Transponder does not execute the Lock Block operation and returns the error code 0xA1.

This transponder technology is from the Sony Corporation and is primarily used for payment, and it is also included in the NFC Forum specification, just like ISO/IEC 15693 and ISO/IEC 14443 transponders. 2.6.1 Polling When inside the FeliCa tab, first select the radio button to select the protocol and click Set Protocol, then click Execute to retrieve the Manufacturer ID and the Manufacturer Parameters from the tag (see Figure 26). The Polling radio button is automatically selected. Figure 26.

When this tab is selected, all of the supported protocols are selected to be polled for. Deselect any of the protocols that are not desired and click Run, which then turns into a Stop button (see Figure 27 and Figure 28). While this tab is useful for showing the multiprotocol capabilities of the TRF7970A EVM, it must be understood that the EVM antenna is a certain size and generates a specific magnetic field and also that the transponders are resonant circuits and can couple with each other, so some appropriate separation between the devices is recommended. The ISO15693 and ISO14443B transponders are polled for with multiple slot commands, while the FeliCa and ISO14443A transponders are polled for with single slot style commands only.

Some of the register settings are coded in the TRF7970A EVM firmware for the various protocols commands; therefore, changes made in the Registers tab can be overwritten when going to a protocol tab and setting a different protocol. To keep the values that are manually set, go to the Test Tab and check Expert – keep settings when switching protocols. However, as some register settings are not compatible or do not make sense when looking across the protocols, these values are coded into the EVM firmware to provide (at the very least) sustaining performance. For example, the ISO Control Register value cannot be set to 0x02 (default setting for ISO15693) and still support operation of ISO14443A, ISO14443B, or FeliCa. See Figure 29 for example of this tab with registers set for default operation. If the Set Defaults button is clicked, the EVM loses communication with the GUI. This is because the Modulator and Sys Clock register (register 0x09) value is changed, so the MSP430 is no longer running at the same clock speed as it was when communications were established. This causes the UART baud rate to be off time base, and the communications link is broken. To recover, close the GUI and reset the TRF7970A EVM either by pressing the reset button on the board or by removing and USB power; next, reconnect the EVM to USB and restart the GUI. Figure 29. Registers Tab 2.9 NFC-PP Tab This tab is for demonstrating the Near Field Communications (NFC) capabilities of the TRF7970A. It requires two TRF7970A evaluation modules and two PCs with the TRF7970A EVM GUI loaded.

The Send Raw button prepends and appends the bytes required by the MSP4340F2370 host.c file for a properly concatenated string. A few examples of when to use these features: 1. For observing a read or write continuous to the registers of the TRF7970A during code development with a logic analyzer.
