DLP-RF430BP BoosterPack User’s Guide FEATURES: • • • • • • • • • Texas Instruments RF430CL330H, Rev D Silicon ISO14443B Compliant 13.56MHz RF Interface Supports up to 848 Kbps NFC Tag Type 4 Compliant 3K SRAM Bytes Available for NDEF Message Storage Automatic Checking of NDEF Structure Interrupt to Indicate End of Read or End of Write Onboard Antenna or Optional External Antenna Connection (Remove R2 and R3) Operational Power Supplied by the LaunchPad (Purchased Separately) 1.0 INTRODUCTION The DLP Design DLP-RF430BP BoosterPack is used to demonstrate the capabilities of the RF430CL330H and help aid in the development process by providing a working hardware/firmware reference example for NFC operations. This BoosterPack demonstrates a secure, simplified pairing process for Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi connections with the only dynamic NFC tag device designed specifically for NFC connection handover and service-interface functions. The DLP-RF430BP BoosterPack is an add-on board designed to fit TI’s MCU LaunchPads. This product allows the software application developer to get familiar with the functionalities of the RF430CL330H on their Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller platform of choice without having to worry about designing the antenna. This document provides direction for RF430CL330H users who wish to implement an NFC tag emulator that is connected to and controlled by a Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller or microprocessor development platform. Examples of such development platforms are the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad and the MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad. LaunchPads from Texas Instruments are easy-to-use flash programming and debugging tools for the MSP430, C2000, TIVA, etc. lines of microcontrollers. They feature everything you need to start developing on a Texas Instruments microcontroller device. There is on-board emulation for programming and debugging, on-board button switches, LED’s and BoosterPack-compatible pinouts to support a wide range of plug-in modules like the DLP-RF430BP. Free software development tools are also available, such as TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio. Open-source development is also possible thanks to community-driven projects such as the MSPGCC compiler or Energia, a branch of the popular Wiring framework.

This manual does not cover the in-depth details of the RF430CL330H family as these are documented in the datasheets for those parts along with application notes that can be found on their product pages (see the links in Section 3). 3.0 REFERENCES • DLP-RF430BP: www.tiboosterpacks.com or www.dlpdesign.com • RF430CL330H Product Page: http://www.ti.com/product/rf430cl330h • RF430CL330H Datasheet: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/rf430cl330h.pdf 4.0 MODULE DESCRIPTION The DLP-RF430BP BoosterPack (Figure 1) allows NFC connection handover for an alternative carrier like Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi as an easy and intuitive pairing or authentication process with only a tap. As a general NFC interface, the RF430CL330H enables electronic products to communicate with the fast-growing infrastructure of NFC-enabled smart phones, tablets and notebooks. Connection to Texas Instruments LaunchPad platforms are made via 10-pin, 0.1-inch spaced, 0.025-square inch female headers located on the back of the board. The electrical schematic is available for download from both the DLPDesign.com and TIBoosterPacks.com sites. Figure 1.
