ST25R3911B High performance HF reader / NFC initiator with 1.4 W supporting VHBR and AAT Datasheet - production data Description QFN32 The ST25R3911B is a highly integrated NFC Initiator / HF Reader IC, including the analog front end (AFE) and a highly integrated data framing system for ISO 18092 (NFCIP-1) initiator, ISO 18092 (NFCIP-1) active target, ISO 14443A and B reader (including high bit rates), ISO 15693 reader and FeliCaTM reader. Implementation of other standard and custom protocols like MIFARETM Classic is possible using the AFE and implementing framing in the external microcontroller (Stream and Transparent modes). Wafer Features * ISO 18092 (NFCIP-1) Active P2P * ISO14443A, ISO14443B, ISO15693 and FeliCaTM * Supports VHBR (3.4 Mbit/s PICC to PCD framing, 6.8 Mbit/s AFE and PCD to PICC framing) * Capacitive sensing - Wake-up * Automatic antenna tuning system providing tuning of antenna LC tank * Automatic modulation index adjustment * AM and PM (I/Q) demodulator channels with automatic selection * DPO (Dynamic Power Output) * Up to 1.4 W in case of differential output * User selectable and automatic gain control * Transparent and Stream modes to implement MIFARETM Classic compliant or other custom protocols * Possibility of driving two antennas in single ended mode * Oscillator input capable of operating with 13.56 MHz or 27.12 MHz crystal with fast start-up * 6 Mbit/s SPI with 96 bytes FIFO * Wide supply voltage range from 2.4 V to 5.5 V * Wide temperature range: -40 C to 125 C The ST25R3911B is positioned perfectly for the infrastructure side of the NFC system, where users need optimal RF performance and flexibility combined with low power. Thanks to automatic antenna tuning (AAT) technology, the device is optimized for applications with directly driven antennas. The ST25R3911B is alone in the domain of HF reader ICs as it contains two differential low impedance (1 Ohm) antenna drivers. The ST25R3911B includes several features that make it very suited for low power applications. It contains a low power capacitive sensor that can be used to detect the presence of a card without switching on the reader field. The presence of a card can also be detected by performing a measurement of amplitude or phase of signal on antenna LC tank, and comparing it to the stored reference. It also contains a low power RC oscillator and wake-up timer that can be used to wake up the system after a defined time period, and to check for the presence of a tag using one or more low power detection techniques (capacitive, phase or amplitude). The ST25R3911B is designed to operate from a wide (2.4 V to 5.5 V) power supply range; peripheral interface IO pins support power supply range from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. * QFN32, 5 mm x 5 mm package February 2018 This is information on a product in full production.

Single sided and differential driving is possible. The transmitter block additionally contains a sub-block that modulates transmitted signal (OOK or configurable AM modulation). The ST25R3911B transmitter is intended to directly drive antennas (without 50 cable, usually antenna is on the same PCB). Operation with 50 cable is also possible, but in that case some of the advanced features are not available. 1.1.2 Receiver The receiver detects transponder modulation superimposed on the 13.56 MHz carrier signal. The receiver contains two receive chains (one for AM and another for PM demodulation) composed of a peak detector followed by two gain and filtering stages and a final digitizer stage. The filter characteristics are adjusted to optimize performance for each mode and bit rate (sub-carrier frequencies from 212 kHz to 6.8 MHz are supported). The receiver chain inputs are the RFI1 and RFI2 pins. The receiver chain incorporates several features that enable reliable operation in challenging phase and noise conditions. 1.1.3 Phase and amplitude detector The phase detector is observing the phase difference between the transmitter output signals (RFO1 and RFO2) and the receiver input signals (RFI1 and RFI2). The amplitude detector is observing the amplitude of the receiver input signals (RFI1 and RFI2) via self-mixing. The amplitude of the receiver input signals (RFI1 and RFI2) is directly proportional to the amplitude of the antenna LC tank signal. The phase detector and the amplitude detector can be used for the following purposes: 1.1.4 * PM demodulation, by observing RFI1 and RFI2 phase variation * Average phase difference between RFOx pins and RFIx pins is used to check and optimize antenna tuning * Amplitude of signal present on RFI1 and RFI2 pins is used to check and optimize antenna tuning A/D converter The ST25R3911B contains a built in Analog to Digital (A/D) converter. Its input can be multiplexed from different sources and is used in several applications (measurement of RF amplitude and phase, calibration of modulation depth...). The result of the A/D conversion is stored in the A/D Converter Output Register and can be read via SPI. 1.1.5 Capacitive sensor The capacitive sensor is used to implement low power detection of transponder presence, it measures the capacitance between two copper patches connected to the CSI and CSO pins. The capacitance changes with the presence of an object (card, hand). During calibration the reference capacitance (representing parasitic capacitance of the environment) is stored. In normal operation the capacitance is periodically measured and compared to the stored reference value, if the measured capacitance differs from the stored reference value by more than a register defined threshold, then an interrupt is sent to the external controller. DS11793 Rev 4 11/131 72 Functional overview 1.1.6 ST25R3911B External field detector The External field detector is a low power block used in NFC mode to detect the presence of an external RF field. It supports two different detection thresholds, Peer Detection Threshold and Collision Avoidance Threshold. The Peer Detection Threshold is used in the NFCIP-1 target mode to detect the presence of an initiator field, and is also used in active communication initiator mode to detect the activation of the target field. The Collision Avoidance Threshold is used to detect the presence of an RF field during the NFCIP-1 RF Collision Avoidance procedure. 1.1.7 Quartz crystal oscillator The quartz crystal oscillator can operate with 13.56 MHz and 27.12 MHz crystals. At start-up the transconductance of the oscillator is increased to achieve a fast start-up. The start-up time varies with crystal type, temperature and other parameters, hence the oscillator amplitude is observed and an interrupt is sent when stable oscillator operation is reached. The use of a 27.12 MHz crystal is mandatory for VHBR operation. The oscillator block also provides a clock signal to the external microcontroller (MCU_CLK), according to the settings in the IO Configuration Register 1. 1.1.8 Power supply regulators Integrated power supply regulators ensure a high power supply rejection ratio for the complete reader system. If the reader system PSRR has to be improved, the command Adjust Regulators is sent. As a result of this command, the power supply level of VDD is measured in maximum load conditions and the regulated voltage reference is set 250 mV below this measured level to assure a stable regulated supply. The resulting regulated voltage is stored in the Regulator and Timer Display Register. It is also possible to define regulated voltage by writing to the Regulator Voltage Control Register. To decouple any noise sources from different parts of the IC there are three regulators integrated with separated external blocking capacitors (the regulated voltage of all of them is the same in 3.3 V supply mode). One regulator is for the analog blocks, one for the digital blocks, and one for the antenna drivers. This block additionally generates a reference voltage for the analog processing (AGD - analog ground). This voltage also has an associated external buffer capacitor. 1.1.9 POR and Bias This block provides the bias current and the reference voltages to all other blocks. It also incorporates a Power on Reset (POR) circuit that provides a reset at power-up and at low supply voltage levels. 1.1.10 RC oscillator and Wake-Up timer The ST25R3911B includes several possibilities of low power detection of card presence (capacitive sensor, phase measurement, amplitude measurement). The RC oscillator and the register configurable Wake-Up timer are used to schedule the periodic card presence detection. 12/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B 1.1.11 Functional overview ISO-14443 and NFCIP-1 framing This block performs framing for receive and transmit according to the selected ISO mode and bit rate settings. In reception it takes the demodulated sub-carrier signal from the receiver. It recognizes the SOF, EOF and data bits, performs parity and CRC check, organizes the received data in bytes and places them in the FIFO. During transmit, it operates inversely, it takes bytes from the FIFO, generates parity and CRC bits, adds SOF and EOF and performs final encoding before passing the modulation signal to the transmitter. In Transparent mode, the framing and FIFO are bypassed, the digitized sub-carrier signal (the receiver output), is directly sent to the MISO pin, and the signal applied to the MOSI pin is directly used to modulate the transmitter. 1.1.12 FIFO The ST25R3911B contains a 96-byte FIFO. Depending on the mode, it contains either data that has been received or data to be transmitted. 1.1.13 Control logic The control logic contains I/O registers that define operation of device. 1.1.14 SPI A 4-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is used for communication between the external microcontroller and the ST25R3911B. 1.2 Application information The minimum configurations required to operate the ST25R3911B are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. DS11793 Rev 4 13/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Figure 2.

At power-up all bits of the Operation Control Register are set to 0, the ST25R3911B is in Power-down mode. In this mode AFE static power consumption is minimized, only the POR and part of the bias are active, while the regulators are transparent and are not operating. The SPI is still functional in this mode so all settings of ISO mode definition and configuration registers can be done. Control bit en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is controlling the quartz crystal oscillator and regulators. When this bit is set, the device enters in Ready mode. In this mode the quartz crystal oscillator and regulators are enabled. An interrupt is sent to inform the microcontroller when the oscillator frequency is stable. Enable of receiver and transmitter are separated so it is possible to operate one without switching on the other (control bits rx_en and tx_en). In some cases this may be useful, if the reader field has to be maintained and there is no transponder response expected, the receiver can be switched-off to save current. Another example is the NFCIP-1 active communication receive mode in which the RF field is generated by the initiator and only the receiver operates. Asserting the Operation Control Register bit wu while the other bits are set to 0 puts the ST25R3911B into the Wake-Up mode that is used to perform low power detection of card presence. In this mode the low power RC oscillator and register configurable Wake-Up timer are used to schedule periodic measurement(s). When a difference of the measured value vs. the predefined reference is detected an interrupt is sent to wake-up the microcontroller. 1.2.2 Transmitter The transmitter contains two identical push-pull driver blocks connected to the pins RFO1 and RFO2. These drivers are differentially driving the external antenna LC tank. It is also possible to operate only one of the two drivers by setting the IO Configuration Register 1 bit single to 1. Each driver is composed of eight segments having binary weighted output resistance. The MSB segment typical ON resistance is 2 , when all segments are turned on; the output resistance is typically 1 . All segments are turned on to define the normal transmission (non-modulated) level. It is also possible to switch off certain segments when driving the non-modulated level to reduce the amplitude of the signal on the antenna and/or to reduce the antenna Q factor without making any hardware changes. The RFO Normal Level Definition Register defines which segments are turned on to define the normal transmission (non-modulated) level. Default setting is that all segments are turned on. Using the single driver mode the number of the antenna LC tank components (and therefore the cost) is halved, but also the output power is reduced. In single mode it is possible to connect two antenna LC tanks to the two RFO outputs and multiplex between them by controlling the IO Configuration Register 1 bit rfo2. In order to transmit the data the transmitter output level needs to be modulated. Both AM and OOK modulation are supported. The type of modulation is defined by setting the bit tr_am in the Auxiliary Definition Register. During the OOK modulation (for example ISO14443A) the transmitter drivers stop driving the carrier frequency. As consequence the amplitude of the antenna LC tank oscillation decays, the time constant of the decay is defined with the LC tank Q factor. The decay time in case of OOK modulation can be shortened by asserting the Auxiliary Definition Register DS11793 Rev 4 15/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B bit ook_hr. When this bit is set to logic one the drivers are put in tristate during the OOK modulation. AM modulation (for example ISO14443B) is done by increasing the output driver impedance during the modulation time. This is done by reducing the number of driver segments that are turned on. The AM modulated level can be automatically adjusted to the target modulation depth by defining the target modulation depth in the AM Modulation Depth Control Register and sending the Calibrate Modulation Depth direct command. Refer to Section 1.2.20: AM modulation depth: definition and calibration for further details. Slow transmitter ramping When the transmitter is enabled it starts to drive the antenna LC tank with full power, the ramping of the field emitted by antenna is defined by antenna LC tank Q factor. However there are some reader systems where the reader field has to ramp up with a longer transition time when it is enabled. The STIF (Syndicat des transports d'Ile de France) specification requires a transition time from 10% to 90% of field longer than or equal to 10 s.The ST25R3911B supports that feature. It is realized by collapsing VSP_RF regulated voltage when transmitter is disabled and ramping it when transmitter is enabled. Typical transition time is 15 s at 3 V supply and 20 s at 5 V supply. Procedure to implement the slow transition: 1.2.3 1. When transmitter is disabled set IO Configuration Register 2 bit slow_up to 1. Keep this state for at least 2 ms to allow discharge of VSP_RF. 2. Enable transmitter, its output will ramp slowly. 3. Before sending any command set the bit slow_up back to 0. Receiver The receiver performs demodulation of the transponder sub-carrier modulation that is superimposed on the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency. It performs AM and/or PM demodulation, amplification, band-pass filtering and digitalization of sub-carrier signals. Additionally it performs RSSI measurement, automatic gain control (AGC) and Squelch. In typical applications the receiver inputs RFI1 and RFI2 are outputs of capacitor dividers connected directly to the terminals of the antenna coil. This concept ensures that the two input signals are in phase with the voltage on the antenna coil. The design of the capacitive divider must ensure that the RFI1 and RFI2 input signal peak values do not exceed the VSP_A supply voltage level. The receiver comprises two complete receive channels, one for the AM demodulation and another one for the PM demodulation. In case both channels are active the selection of the channel used for reception framing is done automatically by the receive framing logic. The receiver is switched on when Operation Control Register bit rx_en is set to one. Additionally the Operation Control Register contains bits rx_chn and rx_man; rx_chn defines whether both, AM and PM, demodulation channels will be active or only one of them, while bit rx_man defines the channel selection mode in case both channels are active (automatic or manual). Operation of the receiver is controlled by four receiver configuration registers. The operation of the receiver is additionally controlled by the signal rx_on that is set high when a modulated signal is expected on the receiver input. This signal is used to control RSSI and AGC and also enables processing of the receiver output by the framing logic. Signal rx_on is automatically set to high after the Mask Receive Timer expires. Signal rx_on 16/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview can also be directly controlled by the controller by sending direct commands Mask Receive Data and Unmask Receive Data.

Two different blocks are implemented for AM demodulation: * Peak detector * AM demodulator mixer. The choice of the used demodulator is made by the Receiver Configuration Register 1 bit amd_sel. The peak detector performs AM demodulation using a peak follower. Both the positive and negative peaks are tracked to suppress any common mode signal. The peak detector is limited in speed; it can operate for sub-carrier frequencies up to fc/8 (1700 kHz). Its demodulation gain is G = 0.7. Its input is taken from one demodulator input only (usually RFI1). The AM demodulator mixer uses synchronous rectification of both receiver inputs (RFI1 and RFI2). Its gain is G = 0.55. The mixer demodulator is optimized for VHBR sub-carrier frequencies (fc/8 and higher). For sub-carrier frequency fc/8 (1700 kHz) both peak follower and mixer demodulator can be used, while for fc/4 and fc/2 only the mixer demodulator can be used. PM demodulation is also done by a mixer. The PM demodulator mixer has differential outputs with 60 mV differential signal for 1% phase change (16.67 mV / ). Its operation is optimized for sub-carrier frequencies up to fc/8 (1700 kHz). DS11793 Rev 4 17/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B In case the demodulation is done externally, it is possible to multiplex the LF signals applied to pins RFI1 and RFI2 directly to the gain and filtering stage by selecting the Receiver Configuration Register 2 bit lf_en. Filtering and gain stages The receiver chain has band pass filtering characteristics. Filtering is optimized to pass sub-carrier frequencies while rejecting carrier frequency and low frequency noise and DC component. Filtering and gain is implemented in three stages, where the first and the last stage have first order high pass characteristics, and the second stage has second order low pass characteristic. Gain and filtering characteristics can be optimized by writing the Receiver Configuration Register 1 (filtering), the Receiver Configuration Register 3 (gain in first stage) and the Receiver Configuration Register 4 (gain in second and third stage). The gain of the first stage is about 20 dB and can be reduced in six 2.5 dB steps. There is also a special boost mode available, which boosts the maximum gain by additional 5.5 dB. In case of VHBR (fc/8 and fc/4) the gain is lower. The first stage gain can only be modified by writing Receiver Configuration Register 3. The default setting of this register is the minimum gain. The default first stage zero is set at 60 kHz, it can also be lowered to 40 kHz or to 12 kHz by writing option bits in the Receiver Configuration Register 1. The control of the first and third stage zeros is done with common control bits (see Table 1). Table 1. First and third stage zero setting rec1<2> h200 rec1<1> h80 rec1<0> z12k First stage zero Third stage zero 0 0 0 60 kHz 400 kHz 1 0 0 60 kHz 200 kHz 0 1 0 40 kHz 80 kHz 0 0 1 12 kHz 200 kHz 0 1 1 12 kHz 80 kHz 1 0 1 12 kHz 200 kHz Others Not used The gain in the second and third stage is 23 dB and can be reduced in six 3 dB steps. The gain of these two stages is included in the AGC and Squelch loops. It can also be manually set in Receiver Configuration Register 4. Sending of direct command Reset Rx Gain is necessary to reset the AGC, Squelch and RSSI block. Sending this command clears the current Squelch setting and loads the gain reduction configuration from Receiver Configuration Register 4 into the internal shadow registers of the AGC and Squelch block. The second stage has a second order low pass filtering characteristic, the pass band is adjusted according to the sub-carrier frequency using the bits lp2 to lp0 of the Receiver Configuration Register 1. See Table 2 for -1 dB cut-off frequency for different settings. 18/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Table 2.

For all supported operation modes and receive bit rates there is an automatic preset defined, additionally some alternatives are listed. Automatic preset is done by sending direct command Analog Preset. There is no automatic preset for Stream and Transparent modes. Since the selection of the filter characteristics also modifies gain, the gain range for different filter settings is also listed. Table 3.

This digital signal is then processed by the receiver framing logic. The digitizing stage consists of a window comparator with adjustable digitizing window (five possible DS11793 Rev 4 19/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B settings, 3 dB steps, adjustment range from 33 mV to 120 mV). Adjustment of the digitizing window is included in the AGC and Squelch loops. In addition, the digitizing window can also be set manually in the Receiver Configuration Register 4. AGC, Squelch and RSSI As mentioned above, the second and third gain stage gain and the digitizing stage window are included in the AGC and Squelch loops. Eleven settings are available. The default state features minimum digitizer window and maximum gain. The first four steps increase the digitizer window in 3 dB steps, the next six steps additionally reduce the gain in the second and third gain stage, again in 3 dB steps. The initial setting with whom Squelch and AGC start is defined in Receiver Configuration Register 4. The Gain Reduction State Register displays the actual state of gain that results from Squelch, AGC and initial settings in Receiver Configuration Register 4. During bit anticollision like Type A, the AGC should be disabled. Squelch This feature is designed for operation of the receiver in noisy conditions. The noise can come from tags (caused by the processing of reader commands), or it can come from a noisy environment. This noise may be misinterpreted as start of transponder response, resulting in decoding errors. During execution of the Squelch procedure the output of the digitizing comparator is observed. In case there are more than two transitions on this output in a 50 s time period, the receiver gain is reduced by 3 dB, and the output is observed during the next 50 s. This procedure is repeated until the number of transitions in 50 s is lower or equal to two, or until the maximum gain reduction is reached. This gain reduction can be cleared sending the direct command Reset Rx Gain. There are two possibilities of performing squelch: automatic mode and using the direct command Squelch. 1. Automatic mode is enabled in case bit sqm_dyn in the Receiver Configuration Register 2 is set. It is activated automatically 18.88 s after end of Tx and is terminated when the Mask Receive timer expires. This mode is primarily intended to suppress noise generated by tag processing during the time when a tag response is not expected (covered by Mask Receive timer). 2. Command Squelch is accepted in case it is sent when signal rx_on is low. It can be used when the time window in which noise is present is known by the controller. AGC AGC (Automatic Gain Control) is used to reduce gain to keep the receiver chain out of saturation. With gain properly adjusted the demodulation process is also less influenced by system noise. AGC action starts when signal rx_on is asserted high and is reset when it is reset to low. At the high to low transitions of the rx_on signal the state of the receiver gain is stored in the Gain Reduction State Register. Reading this register at a later stage gives information on the gain setting used during last reception. When AGC is switched on the receiver gain is reduced so that the input to the digitizer stage is not saturated. The AGC system comprises a comparator with a window 3.5 times larger than that of the digitizing window comparator. When the AGC function is enabled the gain is reduced until there are no transitions on the output of its window comparator. This 20/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview procedure ensures that the input to the digitizing window comparator is less than 3.5 times larger than its threshold. AGC operation is controlled by the control bits agc_en, agc_m and agc_fast in the Receiver Configuration Register 2. Bit agc_en enables the AGC operation, bit agc_m defines the AGC mode, and bit agc_alg defines the AGC algorithm. Two AGC modes are available. The AGC can operate during the complete Rx process (as long as signal rx_on is high), or it can be enabled only during the first eight sub-carrier pulses. Two AGC algorithms are available. The AGC can either start by presetting code 4h (max digitizer window, max gain) or by resetting the code to 0h (min digitizer window, max gain). The algorithm with preset code is faster, therefore it is recommended for protocols with short SOF (like ISO14443A fc/128). Default AGC settings are: * AGC is enabled * AGC operates during complete Rx process * algorithm with preset is used. RSSI The receiver also performs the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) measurement for both channels. The RSSI measurement is started after the rising edge of rx_on. It stays active as long as signal rx_on is high, it is frozen while rx_on is low. The RSSI is a peak hold system, and the value can only increase from the initial zero value. Every time the AGC reduces the gain the RSSI measurement is reset and starts from zero. Result of RSSI measurements is a 4-bit value that can be observed by reading the RSSI Display Register. The LSB step is 2.8 dB, and the maximum code is Dh (13d). Since the RSSI measurement is of peak hold type the RSSI measurement result does not follow any variations in the signal strength (the highest value will be kept). In order to follow RSSI variations it is possible to reset the RSSI bits and restart the measurement by sending the direct command Clear RSSI. Receiver in NFCIP-1 active communication mode There are several features built into the receiver to enable reliable reception of active NFCIP-1 communication. All these settings are automatically preset by sending the direct command Analog Preset after the NFCIP-1 mode has been configured. In addition to the filtering options, there are two NFCIP-1 active communication mode specific configuration bits stored in the Receiver Configuration Register 3. Bit lim enables clipping circuits that are positioned after the first and second gain stages. The function of the clipping circuits is to limit the signal level for the following filtering stage (when the NFCIP-1 peer is close the input signal level can be quite high). Bit rg_nfc forces gain reduction of second and third filtering stage to -6 dB while keeping the digitizer comparator window at maximum level. 1.2.4 Capacitive sensor The Capacitive sensor block (Figure 5) gives the possibility of low power detection of tag presence. DS11793 Rev 4 21/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B The capacitive measurement system comprises two electrodes. One is the excitation electrode emitting an electrical field of a fixed frequency in the range of a few hundred kHz (CSO) and the second one is the sensing electrode (CSI). The amount of charge generated in the sensing electrode represents the capacitance between the two electrodes. The capacitive sensor electrodes are tolerant to parasitic capacitance to ground (up to 25 pF) and to input leakage (up to 1 M). Since the charge on the sensing electrode is generated with the frequency of the excitation electrode, a synchronous rectifier is used to detect it. This ensures good rejection of interference and high tolerance to parasitic capacitances (to all nodes except the excitation electrode). The synchronous rectifier output is a DC voltage linearly proportional to the capacitance between the excitation and sensing electrode. The output DC voltage is converted by the A/D converter in absolute mode. The result is stored in the A/D Converter Output Register (see also Section 1.2.8: A/D converter). Figure 5. Capacitive sensor block diagram 2VFLOODWRU $'FRQYHUWHU 6\QFKURQRXV UHFWLILHU &62 &6, 069 Any conductive object (human hand or tag antenna windings) approaching the two electrodes changes the capacitance between the excitation and sensing electrode as it 'shortens' the distance between the two by providing conductance on the part of the path between the two electrodes. The capacitance measurement is started by sending the direct command Measure Capacitance. The ST25R3911B can also be configured to automatically wake-up and perform periodic capacitance measurements. The result is compared to a stored reference or to an average of previous measurements and in case the difference is greater than a predefined value an IRQ is triggered to wake-up the controller (see also Section 1.2.5: Wake-Up mode). The capacitive sensor gain can be adjusted in Capacitive Sensor Control Register. The default gain is 2.8 V/pF (typical value), the maximum gain is 6.5 V/pF (typical value). Since the LSB of the A/D converter corresponds to approximately 7.8 mV, the default gain results in a sensitivity of 2.8 fF/LSB (1.2 fF/LSB in case of maximum gain). The duration of the capacitance measurement is 200 s, and the current consumption during the measurement is 1.1 mA (typical value). As an example, if the capacitive measurement is performed every 100 ms in Wake-Up mode, then the resulting average current consumption is 5.8 A (3.6 A is the standby consumption in Wake-Up mode). 22/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Capacitor sensor calibration The capacitive sensor comprises a calibration unit that internally compensates the parasitic capacitances between CSI and CSO, thus leaving full measurement range for information about capacitance variation. Five bits are used to control the calibration. The minimum calibration step and the available calibration range are, respectively, 0.1 pF and 3.1 pF. The calibration can be done manually by writing to the Capacitive Sensor Control Register or automatically by sending the direct command Calibrate Capacitive Sensor. The status of the Calibrate Capacitive Sensor command and the resulting calibration value are stored in the Capacitive Sensor Display Register. In order to avoid interference of the capacitive sensor with the Xtal oscillator and the reader magnetic field and to assure repetitive results it is strongly recommended to perform capacitance measurement and calibration in Power-down mode only. 1.2.5 Wake-Up mode Asserting the Operation Control Register bit wu while the other bits are set to 0 puts the ST25R3911B in Wake-Up mode, used to perform low power detection of card presence. The ST25R3911B includes several possibilities of low power detection of a card presence (capacitive sensor, phase measurement, amplitude measurement). An integrated low power 32 kHz RC oscillator and a register configurable Wake-Up timer are used to schedule periodic detection. Usually the presence of a card is detected by a so-called polling loop. In this process the reader field is periodically turned on and the controller checks whether a card is present using RF commands. This procedure consumes a lot of energy since the reader field has to be turned on for 5 ms before a command can be issued. Low power detection of card presence is performed by detecting a change in the reader environment, produced by a card. When a change is detected, an interrupt is sent to the controller. As a result, the controller can perform a regular polling loop. In the Wake-Up mode the ST25R3911B periodically performs the configured reader environment measurements and sends an IRQ to the controller when a difference to the configured reference value is detected. Detection of card presence can be done by performing phase,amplitude and capacitive sensor measurements. Presence of a card close to the reader antenna coil produces a change of the antenna LC tank signal phase and amplitude. The reader field activation time needed to perform the phase or the amplitude measurement is extremely short (~20 s) compared to the activation time needed to send a protocol activation command. Additionally the power level during the measurement can be lower than the power level during normal operation since the card does not have to be powered to produce a coupling effect. The emitted power can be reduced by changing the RFO Normal Level Definition Register. The capacitive sensor detects a change of the parasitic capacitance between the two excitation electrodes. This change in capacitance can be caused by a card antenna or a hand holding the card. See Section 1.1.5: Capacitive sensor for a detailed information on the capacitive sensor. The registers on locations from 31h to 3Dh are dedicated to Wake-Up timer configuration and display. The Wake-Up Timer Control Register is the main Wake-Up mode configuration DS11793 Rev 4 23/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B register. The timeout period between the successive detections and the measurements are selected in this register. Timeouts in the range from 10 to 800 ms are available, 100 ms is the default value. Any combination of available measurements can be selected (one, two or all of them). The next twelve registers (32h to 3Dh) are configuring the three possible detection measurements and storing the results, four registers are used for each measurement. An IRQ is sent when the difference between a measured value and the reference value is larger than the configured threshold value. There are two possible definitions for the reference value: 1. The ST25R3911B can calculate the reference based on previous measurements (auto-averaging) 2. The controller determines the reference and stores it in a register The first register in the series of four is the Amplitude Measurement Configuration Register. The difference to the reference value that triggers the IRQ, the method of reference value definition and the weight of the last measurement result in case of auto-averaging are defined in this register. The next register is storing the reference value in case the reference is defined by the controller. The following two registers are display registers. The first one stores the auto-averaging reference, and the second one stores the result of the last measurement. The Wake-Up mode configuration registers have to be configured before the Wake-Up mode is entered. Any modification of the Wake-Up mode configuration while it is active may result in unpredictable behavior. Auto-averaging In case of auto-averaging the reference value is recalculated after every measurement as NewAverage = OldAverage + (MeasuredValue - OldAverage) / Weight The calculation is done on 13 bits to have sufficient precision.The auto-averaging process is initialized when the Wake-Up mode is entered for the first time after initialization (at powerup or after Set Default command). The initial value is taken from the measurement display registers (for example Amplitude Measurement Display Register) until the content of this register is not zero. Every Measurement Configuration register contains a bit that defines whether the measurement that causes an interrupt is taken in account for the average value calculation (for example bit am_aam of the Amplitude Measurement Configuration Register). 1.2.6 Quartz crystal oscillator The quartz crystal oscillator can operate with 13.56 MHz and 27.12 MHz crystals. The operation of quartz crystal oscillator is enabled when the Operation Control Register bit en is set to one. An interrupt is sent to inform the microcontroller when the oscillator frequency is stable (see Section 1.3.24: Main Interrupt Register). The status of oscillator can be observed by observing the Auxiliary Display Register bit osc_ok. This bit is set to `1' when oscillator frequency is stable. The oscillator is based on an inverter stage supplied by a controlled current source. A feedback loop is controlling the bias current in order to regulate amplitude on XTI pin to 1 Vpp. 24/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview To enable a fast reader start-up an interrupt is sent when the oscillator amplitude exceeds 750 mVpp. Division by two ensures that 13.56 MHz signal has a duty cycle of 50%, which is better for the transmitter performance (no PW distortion). Use of 27.12 MHz crystal is therefore recommended for better performance. In case of 13.56 MHz crystal, the bias current of stage that is digitizing oscillator signal is increased to assure as low PW distortion as possible. Note: In case of VHBR reception (bit rates fc/8 and above) it is mandatory to use the 27.12 MHz crystal since high frequency clock is needed for receive framing. The oscillator output is also used to drive a clock signal output pin MCU_CLK) that can be used by the external microcontroller. The MCU_CLK pin is configured in the IO Configuration Register 2. 1.2.7 Timers The ST25R3911B contains several timers that eliminate the need to run counters in the controller, thus reducing the effort of the controller code implementation and improve portability of code to different controllers. Every timer has one or more associated configuration registers in which the timeout duration and different operating modes are defined. These configuration registers have to be set while the corresponding timer is not running. Any modification of timer configuration while the timer is active may result in unpredictable behavior. All timers except the Wake-Up timer are stopped by direct command Clear. Note: In case bit nrt_emv in the General Purpose and No-Response Timer Control Register is set to one, the No-Response timer is not stopped Mask Receive timer and No-Response timer Mask Receive timer and No-Response timer are both automatically started at the end of transmission (at the end of EOF). Mask Receive timer The Mask Receive timer is blocking the receiver and reception process in framing logic by keeping the rx_on signal low after the end of Tx during the time the tag reply is not expected. While the Mask Receive timer is running, the Squelch is automatically turned on (if enabled). Mask Receive timer does not produce an IRQ. The Mask Receive timer timeout is configured in the Mask Receive Timer Register. In the NFCIP-1 active communication mode the Mask Receive timer is started when the peer NFC device (a device with whom communication is going on) switches on its field. The Mask Receive timer has a special use in the low power Initial NFC Target Mode. After the initiator field has been detected the controller turns on the oscillator, regulator and receiver. Mask Receive timer is started by sending direct command Start Mask Receive Timer. After the Mask Receive Timer expires the receiver output starts to be observed to detect start of the initiator message. In this mode the Mask Receive timer clock is additionally divided by eight it (one count is 512/fc) to cover range up to about 9.6 ms. DS11793 Rev 4 25/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B No-Response timer As its name indicates, this timer is intended to observe whether a tag response is detected in a configured time started by end of transmission. The I_nre flag in the Timer and NFC Interrupt Register is signaling interrupt events resulting from this timer timeout. The No-Response timer is configured by writing the two registers No-Response Timer Register 1 and No-Response Timer Register 2. Operation options of the No-Response timer are defined by setting bits nrt_emv and nrt_step in the General Purpose and No-Response Timer Control Register. Bit nrt_step configures the time step of the No-Response timer. Two steps are available, 64/fc (4.72 s) to cover range up to 309 ms, and 4096/fc, covering the range up to 19.8 s. Bit nrt_emv controls the timer operation mode: * When this bit is set to 0 (default mode) the IRQ is produced in case the No-Response Timer expires before a start of a tag reply is detected and rx_on is forced to low to stop receiver process. In the opposite case, when start of a tag reply is detected before timeout, the timer is stopped, and no IRQ is produced. * When this bit is set to 1 the timer unconditionally produces an IRQ when it expires, it is also not stopped by direct command Clear. This means that IRQ is independent of the fact whether or not a tag reply was detected. In case at the moment of timeout a tag reply is being processed no other action is taken, in the opposite case, when no tag response is being processed additionally the signal rx_on is forced to low to stop receive process. The No-Response timer can also be started using direct command Start No-Response Timer. The intention of this command is to extend the No-Response timer timeout beyond the range defined in the No-Response timer control registers. In case this command is sent while the timer is running, it is reset and restarted. In NFCIP-1 active communication mode the No-Response timer cannot be started using the direct command. In case this timer expires before the peer NFC device (a device with whom communication is going on) switches on its field an interrupt is sent. In all modes, where timer is set to nonzero value, it is a must that M_txe is not set and interrupt I_txe is read via SPI for synchronization between transmitter and timer. General Purpose timer The triggering of the General Purpose timer is configured by setting the General Purpose and No-Response Timer Control Register. It can be used to survey the duration of the reception process (triggering by start of reception, after SOF) or to time out the PCD to PICC response time (triggered by end of reception, after EOF). In the NFCIP-1 active communication mode it is used to timeout the field switching off. In all cases an IRQ is sent when it expires. The General Purpose timer can also be started by sending the direct command Start General Purpose Timer. In case this command is sent while the timer is running, it is reset and restarted. Wake-Up timer Wake timer is primarily used in the Wake-Up mode (see Section 1.2.5: Wake-Up mode). Additionally it can be used by sending a direct command Start Wake-Up Timer. This command is accepted in any operation mode except Wake-Up mode. When this command is sent the RC oscillator used as clock source for Wake-Up timer is started, timeout is 26/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview defined by setting in the Wake-Up Timer Control Register. When the timer expires, an IRQ with the I_wt flag in the Error and Wake-Up Interrupt Register is sent. Wake-Up timer is useful in the Low Power operation mode, in which other timers cannot be used (in the Low Power operation mode the crystal oscillator, which is clock source for the other timers, is not running). Note: The tolerance of Wake-Up timer timeout is defined by tolerance of the RC oscillator. 1.2.8 A/D converter The ST25R3911B contains an 8-bit successive approximation A/D converter. Inputs to the A/D converter can be multiplexed from different sources to be used in several direct commands and adjustment procedures. The result of the last A/D conversion is stored in the A/D Converter Output Register. The A/D converter has two operating modes, absolute and relative. * In absolute mode the low reference is 0 V and the high reference is 2 V. This means that A/D converter input range is from 0 to 2 V, 00h code means input is 0 V or lower, FFh means that input is 2 V - 1 LSB or higher (LSB is 7.8125 mV). * In relative mode low reference is 1/6 of VSP_A and high reference is 5/6 of VSP_A, so the input range is from 1/6 to 5/6 VSP_A. Relative mode is only used in phase measurement (phase detector output is proportional to power supply). In all other cases absolute mode is used. 1.2.9 Phase and amplitude detector This block is used to provide input to A/D converter to perform measurements of amplitude and phase, expected by direct commands Measure Amplitude and Measure Phase. Several phase and amplitude measurements are also performed by direct commands Calibrate Modulation Depth and Calibrate Antenna. Phase detector The phase detector is observing phase difference between the transmitter output signals (RFO1 and RFO2) and the receiver input signals RFI1 and RFI2, which are proportional to the signal on the antenna LC tank. These signals are first elaborated by digitizing comparators, then digitized signals are processed by a phase detector with a strong low pass filter to get average phase difference. The phase detector output is inversely proportional to the phase difference between the two inputs. The 90 phase shift results in VSP_A/2 output voltage, in case both inputs are in phase output voltage is VSP_A, in case they are in opposite phase output voltage is 0 V. During execution of direct command Measure Phase this output is multiplexed to A/D converter input (A/D converter is in relative mode during execution of command Measure Phase). Since the A/D converter range is from 1/6 to 5/6 VSP_A the actual phase detector range is from 30 to 150. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the two inputs and the output of phase detector, respectively, in case of 90 and 135 shifts. DS11793 Rev 4 27/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Figure 6.

Phase detector inputs and output in case of 135 phase shift 963B$ ,QSXW 963B$ ,QSXW 963B$ 2XWSXW 963B$ 069 Amplitude detector Signals from pins RFI1 and RFI2 are used as inputs to the self-mixing stage. The output of this stage is a DC voltage proportional to amplitude of signal on pins RFI1 and RFI2. During execution of direct command Measure Amplitude this output is multiplexed to A/D converter input. 1.2.10 External field detector The External Field Detector is used to detect the presence of an external device generating an RF field. It is automatically switched on in NFCIP-1 active communication modes; it can also be used in other modes. The External field detector supports two different detection thresholds, Peer Detection Threshold and Collision Avoidance Threshold. The two thresholds can be independently set by writing the External Field Detector Threshold Register. The actual state of the External field detector output can be checked by reading the Auxiliary Display Register. Input to this block is the signal from the RFI1 pin. 28/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Peer detection threshold This threshold is used to detect the field emitted by peer NFC device with whom NFC communication is going on (initiator field in case the ST25R3911B is a target and the opposite, target field in case the ST25R3911B isan initiator). It can be selected in the range from 75 to 800 mVpp. When this threshold is enabled the External Field Detector is in low power mode. An interrupt is generated when an external field is detected and also when it is switched off. With such implementation it can also be used to detect the moment when the external field disappears. This is useful to detect the moment when the peer NFC device (it can be either an initiator or a target) has stopped emitting an RF field. The External Field Detector is automatically enabled in the low power Peer Detection mode when NFCIP-1 mode (initiator or target) is selected in the Bit Rate Definition Register. Additionally it can be enabled by setting bit en_fd in the Auxiliary Definition Register. Collision Avoidance threshold This threshold is used during the RF Collision Avoidance sequence that is executed by sending NFC Field ON commands (see NFC Field ON commands). It can be selected in the range from 25 to 800 mVpp. 1.2.11 Power supply system The ST25R3911B (Figure 8) features two positive supply pins, VDD and VDD_IO. VDD is the main power supply pin. It supplies the ST25R3911B blocks through three regulators (VSP_A, VSP_D and VSP_RF). VDD range from 2.4 to 5.5 V is supported. VDD_IO is used to define supply level for digital communication pins (/SS, MISO, MOSI, SCLK, IRQ, MCU_CLK). Digital communication pins interface with ST25R3911B logic through level shifters, therefore the internal supply voltage can be either higher or lower than VDD_IO. VDD_IO range from 1.65 to 5.5 V is supported. Figure 8. ST25R3911B power supply 9'' (1 VXS9 N 963B' 5(* 3RZHUGRZQ 6XSSRUW 963B$ 5(* %*5 963B5) 5(* 963B5) 963B$ 963B' $*' $*& 59!

The power supply system contains three regulators, a power-down support block, a block generating analog reference voltage (AGD) and a block performing automatic power supply adjustment procedure. The three regulators are providing supply to analog blocks (VSP_A), logic (VSP_D) and transmitter (VSP_RF). The use of VSP_A and VSP_D regulators is mandatory at 5 V power supply to provide regulated voltage to analog and logic blocks that only use 3.3 V devices. The use of VSP_A and VSP_D regulators at 3 V supply and VSP_RF regulator at any supply voltage is recommended to improve system PSRR. Regulated voltage can be adjusted automatically to have maximum possible regulated voltage while still having good PSRR. All regulator pins also have corresponding negative supply pins that are externally connected to ground potential (VSS). The reason for separation is in decoupling of noise induced by voltage drops on the internal power supply lines. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show typical ST25R3911B application schematics with all regulators used. All regulator pins and AGD voltage are buffered with capacitors. Recommended blocking capacitor values are detailed in Table 4. Table 4. Recommended blocking capacitor values Pins Recommended capacitors AGD-VSS 1 F, in parallel with 10 nF VSP_A-VSN_A VSP_D-VSN_D 2.2 F, in parallel with 10 nF 2.2 F, in parallel with 10 nF VSP_RF-VSN_RF 2.2 F, in parallel with 10 nF Regulators have two basic operation modes depending on supply voltage, 3.3 V supply mode (max 3.6 V) and 5 V supply mode (max 5.5 V). The supply mode is set by writing bit sup3 V in the IO Configuration Register 2. Default setting is 5 V, hence this bit has to be set to one after power-up in case of 3.3 V supply. In 3.3 V mode all regulators are set to the same regulated voltage in range from 2.4 V to 3.4 V, while in 5 V only the VSP_RF can be set in range from 3.9 V to 5.1 V, while VSP_A and VSP_D are fixed to 3.4 V. The regulators are operating when signal en is high (en is configuration bit in Operation Control Register. When signal en is low the ST25R3911B isare in low power Power-down mode. In this mode consumption of the power supply system is also minimized. VSP_RF regulator The intention of this regulator is to improve PSRR of the transmitter (the noise of the transmitter power supply is emitted and fed back to the receiver). The VSP_RF regulator operation is controlled and observed by writing and reading two regulator registers: * 30/131 Regulator Voltage Control Register controls the regulator mode and regulated voltage. Bit reg_s controls regulator mode. In case it is set to 0 (default state) the regulated voltage is set using direct command Adjust Regulators. When bit reg_s is asserted to 1 regulated voltage is defined by bits rege_3 to rege_1 of the same register. The regulated voltage adjustment range depends on the power supply mode. In case of 5 V supply mode the adjustment range is between 3.9 V and 5.1 V in steps of 120 mV, in DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview case of 3.3 V supply mode the adjustment range is from 2.4 V to 3.4 V with steps of 100 mV. Default regulated voltage is the maximum one (5.1 V and 3.4 V in case of 5 V and 3.3 V supply mode respectively). * Regulator and Timer Display Register is a read only register that displays actual regulated voltage when regulator is operating. It is especially useful in case of automatic mode, since the actual regulated voltage, which is the result of direct command Adjust Regulators, can be observed. The VSP_RF regulator also includes a current limiter that limits the regulator typically to current of 200 mArms in normal operation (500 mA in case of short). In case the transmitter output current higher the 200 mArms is required, VSP_RF regulator cannot be used to supply the transmitter, VSP_RF has to be externally connected to VDD (connection of VSP_RF to supply voltage higher than VDD is not allowed). The voltage drop of the transmitter current is the main source of the ST25R3911B power dissipation. This voltage drop is composed of drop in the transmitter driver and in the drop on VSP_RF regulator. Due to this it is recommended to set regulated voltage using direct command Adjust Regulators. It results in good power supply rejection ration with relatively low dissipated power due to regulator voltage drop. In Power-down mode the VSP_RF regulator is not operating. VSP_RF pin is connected to VDD through 1 k resistor. Connection through resistors ensures smooth power-up of the system and a smooth transition from Power-down mode to other operating modes. VSP_A and VSP_D regulators VSP_A and VSP_D regulators are used to supply the ST25R3911B analog and digital blocks respectively. In 3.3 V mode, VSP_A and VSP_D regulator are set to the same regulated voltage as the VSP_RF regulator, in 5 V mode VSP_A and VSP_D regulated voltage is fixed to 3.4 V. The use of VSP_A and VSP_D regulators is obligatory in 5 V mode since analog and digital blocks supplied with these two pins contain low voltage transistors that support maximum supply voltage of 3.6 V. In 3.3 V supply mode the use of regulators is strongly recommended in order to improve PSRR of analog processing. For low cost applications it is possible to disable the VSP_D regulator and to supply digital blocks through external short between VSP_A and VSP_D (configuration bit vspd_off in the IO Configuration Register 2. In case VSP_D regulator is disabled VSP_D can alternatively be supplied from VDD (in 3.3 V mode only) in case VSP_A is not more than 300 mV lower than VDD. Power-down support block In the Power-down mode the regulators are disabled in order to save current. In this mode a low power Power-down support block that maintains the VSP_D and VSP_A in below 3.6 V is enabled. Typical regulated voltage in this mode is 3.1 V at 5 V supply and 2.2 V at 3 V supply. When 3.3 V supply mode is set the Power-down support block is disabled, its output is connected to VDD through 1 k resistor. Typical consumption of Power-down support block is 600 nA at 5 V supply. DS11793 Rev 4 31/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Measurement of supply voltages Using direct command Measure Power Supply it is possible to measure VDD and regulated voltages VSP_A, VSP_D, and VSP_RF. 1.2.12 Communication with an external microcontroller The ST25R3911B is a slave device and the external microcontroller initiates all communication. Communication is performed by a 4-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The ST25R3911B sends an interrupt request (pin IRQ) to the microcontroller, which can use clock signal available on pin MCU_CLK when the oscillator is running. Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) While signal /SS is high the SPI interface is in reset, while it is low the SPI is enabled. It is recommended to keep /SS high whenever the SPI is not in use. MOSI is sampled at the falling edge of SCLK. All communication is done in blocks of 8 bits (bytes). First two bits of first byte transmitted after high to low transition of /SS define SPI operation mode. Table 5. Serial data interface (4-wire interface) signal lines Name Signal Signal level /SS Digital input MOSI Digital input MISO Digital output with tristate SCLK Digital input Description SPI Enable (active low) CMOS Serial data input Serial data output Clock for serial communication MSB bit is always transmitted first (valid for address and data). Read and Write modes support address auto-incrementing. This means that if some additional data bytes are sent/read after the address and first data byte, they are written to/read from addresses incremented by `1'. Figure 9 defines possible modes.

Due to this the MOSI and the MISO can be externally shorted to create a bidirectional signal. During the time the MISO output is in tristate, it is possible to switch on a 10 k pull down by activating option bits miso_pd1 and miso_pd2 in the IO Configuration Register 2. Table 6 provides information on the SPI operation modes. Reading and writing of registers is possible in any ST25R3911B operation mode. FIFO operations are possible in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Table 6.

After the SPI operation mode bits, the address of register to be written is provided. Then one or more data bytes are transferred from the SPI, always from the MSB to the LSB. The data byte is written in register on falling edge of its last clock. In case the communication is terminated by putting /SS high before a packet of 8 bits (one byte) is sent, writing of this register is not performed. In case the register on the defined address does not exist or it is a read only register no write is performed. Figure 10.

Then one or more data bytes are transferred to MISO output, always from the MSB to the LSB. As in case of the write mode also the read mode supports autoincrementing address. MOSI is sampled at the falling edge of SCLK (like shown in the following diagrams), data to be read from the ST25R3911B internal register is driven to MISO pin on rising edge of SCLK and is sampled by the master at the falling edge of SCLK. In case the register on defined address does not exist all 0 data is sent to MISO. Figure 12 is an example for reading of single byte. 34/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Figure 12.

Difference is that in case of loading more bytes all bytes go to the FIFO. SPI operation mode bits 10 indicate FIFO operations. In case of loading transmitting data into FIFO all bits <C5 - C0> are set to 0. Then a bit-stream, the data to be sent (1 to 96 bytes), can be transferred. In case the command is terminated by putting /SS high before a packet of 8 bits (one byte) is sent, writing of that particular byte in FIFO is not performed. Figure 13 shows how to load the Transmitting Data into the FIFO. Figure 13.

SPI operation mode bits 11 indicate Direct Command Mode. The following six bits define command code, sent MSB to LSB. The command is executed on falling edge of last clock (see Figure 15). While execution of some Direct Commands is immediate, there are others that start a process of certain duration (calibration, measurement...). During execution of such commands it is not allowed to start another activity over the SPI interface. After execution of such a command is terminated an IRQ is sent. 36/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Figure 15.

When an interrupt condition is met the source of interrupt bit is set in the Main Interrupt Register and the IRQ pin transitions to high. Table 8. IRQ output Name Signal Signal level Description IRQ Digital output CMOS Interrupt output pin The microcontroller then reads the Main Interrupt Register to distinguish between different interrupt sources. The interrupt registers 0x17, 0x18 and 0x19 are to be read in one attempt. After a particular Interrupt register is read, its content is reset to 0. Exceptions to this rule are the bits pointing to auxiliary registers. These bits are only cleared when corresponding auxiliary register is read. IRQ pin transitions to low after the interrupt bit(s) that caused its transition to high has (have) been read. Note: There may be more than one interrupt bit set in case the microcontroller does not immediately read the interrupt registers after the IRQ signal has been set and another event causing interrupt has occurred. In that case the IRQ pin transitions to low after the last bit that caused interrupt is read. If an interrupt from a certain source is not required, it can be disabled by setting corresponding bit in the Mask Interrupt registers. When masking a given interrupt source the interrupt is not produced, but the source of interrupt bit is still set in Interrupt registers. FIFO water level and FIFO status registers The ST25R3911B contains a 96 byte FIFO. In case of transmitting the Control logic shifts the data that was previously loaded by the external microcontroller to the Framing Block and further to the transmitter. During reception, the demodulated data is stored in the FIFO and the external microcontroller can download received data at a later moment. Transmit and receive capabilities of the ST25R3911B are not limited by the FIFO size due to a FIFO water level interrupt system. During transmission an interrupt is sent (IRQ due to FIFO water level in the Main Interrupt Register) when the content of data in the FIFO passes from (water level + 1) to water level and the complete transmit frame has not been loaded in the FIFO yet. The external microcontroller can now add more data in the FIFO. The same stands for the reception: when the number of received bytes passes from (water level - 1) to water level an interrupt is sent to inform the external controller that data has to be downloaded from FIFO in order not to lose receive data due to FIFO overflow. During transmission water level IRQ is additionally set in case all transmission bytes have not been written in FIFO yet and if number of bytes written into FIFO is lower than water level. In this case an IRQ is sent when number of bytes in FIFO drops below 4. Note: FIFO IRQ is not produced while SPI is active in FIFO load or read mode. Due to this the FIFO loading/reading rate has to be higher than Tx/Rx bit rate, once FIFO loading/reading is finished the /SS pin has to be pulled to VDD (logic remains in FIFO load/read mode as long as /SS remains low). The external controller has to serve the FIFO faster than data is transmitted or received. Using SCLK frequency that is at least double than the actual receive or transmit bit rate is recommended. DS11793 Rev 4 39/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B There are two settings of the FIFO water level available for receive and transmit in the IO Configuration Register 1. At the beginning of a data reception the FIFO, FIFO Status Register 1 and FIFO Status Register 2 are cleared automatically. After data reception is terminated the external microcontroller needs to know how much data is still stored in the FIFO: This information is available in the FIFO Status Register 1 and FIFO Status Register 2 that display number of bytes in the FIFO that were not read out. FIFO Status Register 1 can also be read while reception and transmission processes are active to get info about current number of bytes in FIFO. In that case user has to take in account that Rx/Tx process is going on and that the number of data bytes in FIFO may have already changed by the time the reading of register is finished. The FIFO Status Register 2 contains the information on whether the last received byte was completed or not. An incomplete byte can occur on certain protocols that use frames shorter than one byte for status information or for example, if the receive data stream breaks in the middle due to an unexpected card removal. The status of the last received byte and the number of valid bits received is stored in the bits fifo_ncp, fifo_lb<2:0>, and np_lb. These bits are cleared when the FIFO Status Register 2 is read and must be stored in the MCU if needed for further processing. The FIFO Status Register 2 additionally contains two bits that indicate that the FIFO was not correctly served during reception or transmission process (FIFO overflow and FIFO underflow). FIFO overflow is set when too much data is written in FIFO. In case this bit is set during reception the external controller did not react on time on water level IRQ and more than 96 bytes were written in the FIFO. The received data is of course corrupted in such a case. During transmission this means that controller has written more data than FIFO size. The data to be transmitted was corrupted. FIFO underflow is set when data was read from empty FIFO. In case this bit is set during reception the external controller read more data than was actually received. During transmission this means that controller has failed to provide the quantity of data defined in number of transmitted bytes registers on time. Pin MCU_CLK Pin MCU_CLK may be used as clock source for the external microcontroller. Depending on the operation mode either a low frequency clock (32 kHz) from the RC oscillator or the clock signal derived from crystal oscillator is available on pin MCU_CLK. The MCU_CLK output pin is controlled by bits out_c1, out_cl0 and lf_clk_off in the IO Configuration Register 1. Bits out_cl enable the use of pin MCU_CLK as clock source and define the division for the case the crystal oscillator is running (13.56 MHz, 6.78 MHz and 3.39 MHz are available). Bit lf_clk_off controls the use of low frequency clock (32 kHz) in case the crystal oscillator is not running. By default configuration (defined at power-up) the 3.39 MHz clock is selected and the low frequency clock is enabled. In Transparent mode (see Section 1.2.22: Stream mode and Transparent mode) the use of MCU_CLK is mandatory since clock that is synchronous to the field carrier frequency is needed to implement receive and transmit framing in the external controller. The use of MCU_CLK is recommended also for the case where the internal framing is used. Using MCU_CLK as the microcontroller clock source generates noise synchronous with the reader carrier frequency and is therefore filtered out by the receiver, while using some other incoherent clock source may produce noise that perturbs the reception. 40/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Use of MCU_CLK is also better for EMC compliance. 1.2.13 Direct commands Table 9.

This command is not accepted in case the external definition of the regulated voltage is selected in the Regulator Voltage Control Register (bit reg_s is set to high). 4. Accepted in all modes in case bit cs_mcal of the Capacitive Sensor Control Register is set to 0. It is recommended to execute this command in Power-down mode. 5. Accepted in all modes, it is recommended to execute this command in Power-down mode. 6. Accepted only in the Initial NFC Active Target Communication Mode. Set Default This direct command puts the ST25R3911B in the same state as power-up initialization. All registers are initialized to the default state. The only exceptions are for IO Configuration Register 1, IO Configuration Register 2 and Operation Control Register (not affected by Set Default command) that are set to default state only at power-up. Note: Results of different calibration and adjust commands are also lost. This direct command is accepted in all operating modes. In case this command is sent while en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is not set FIFO and FIFO status registers are not cleared. Direct command chaining is not allowed since this command clears all registers. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. Clear This direct command stops all current activities (transmission or reception), clears FIFO, clears FIFO status registers and stops all timers except Wake-Up timer. If bit nrt_emv in the General Purpose and No-Response Timer Control Register is set to 1, the No-Response timer is not stopped. If nfc_ar in the Mode Definition Register is set to 1, the internal timer for the Response RF Collision Avoidance is not stopped and the Response RF Collision Avoidance will take place once this timer epxires. Set nfc_ar to 0 prior to sending the direct command Clear to stop any Response RF Collision Avoidance activity too. It also clears collision and interrupt registers. This command has to be sent first in a sequence preparing a transmission before writing data to be transmitted in FIFO (except in case of direct commands Transmit REQA and Transmit WUPA). This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. DS11793 Rev 4 43/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Transmit commands All Transmit commands (Transmit With CRC, Transmit Without CRC, Transmit REQA and Transmit WUPA) are accepted only in case the transmitter is enabled (bit tx_en is set). Before sending commands Transmit With CRC and Transmit Without CRC direct command Clear has to be sent, followed by definition of number of transmitted bytes and writing data to be transmitted in FIFO. Direct commands Transmit REQA and Transmit WUPA are used to transmit ISO14443A commands REQA and WUPA respectively. Sending command Clear before these two commands is not necessary. The number of valid bits in the last byte must be set to zero (nbtx<2:0> in the Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 2) prior to executing Transmit REQA or Transmit WUPA. Direct command chaining is possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. NFC Field ON commands These commands are used to perform the RF Collision Avoidance and switch the field on in case no collision was detected. The Collision Avoidance threshold defined in the External Field Detector Threshold Register is used to observe the RF_IN inputs and to determine whether there is some other device emitting the 13.56 MHz field, present close to the ST25R3911B antenna. In case collision is not detected the reader field is switched on automatically (bit tx_en in the Operation Control Register is set) and an IRQ with I_cat flag in Timer and NFC Interrupt Register is sent after minimum guard time defined by the NFCIP1 standard to inform the controller that message transmission using a Transmit command can be initiated. In case a presence of external field is detected an IRQ with I_cac flag is sent. In such case a transmission cannot be performed, NFC Field ON command has to be repeated as long as collision is not detected anymore. Command NFC Initial Field ON performs Initial Collision Avoidance according to NFCIP-1 standard; number n is defined by bits nfc_n1 and nfc_n0 in Auxiliary Definition Register. Command NFC Response Field ON performs Response Collision Avoidance according to NFCIP-1 standard; number n is defined by bits nfc_n1 and nfc_n0 in Auxiliary Definition Register. Command NFC Response Field ON with n=0 performs Response Collision Avoidance where n is 0. Implemented active delay time is on lower NFCIP-1 specification limit, since the actual active delay time will also include detection of the field deactivation, controller processing delay and sending the NFC Field ON command. This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and both Xtal oscillator frequency and amplitude are stable. 44/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Figure 19.

Additionally it copies the content of the NFCIP Bit Rate Detection Display Register to the Bit Rate Definition Register and correctly sets the bit tr_am in the Auxiliary Definition Register. Analog Preset This command is used to preset receiver and transmitter configuration based on state of Mode Definition Register and Bit Rate Definition Register. In case of Sub-carrier bit stream or BPSK bit stream mode, this command should not be used. The list of configuration bits that are preset is given in Table 11.

This command is useful to mask receiver and receive framing from processing the data when there is actually no input and only a noise would be processed (for example in case where a transponder processing time after receiving a command from the reader is long). Masking of receive is also possible using Mask Receive timer. Actual masking is a logical or of the two mask receive processes. The direct command Unmask Receive Data is enabling normal processing of the received data (signal rx_on is set high to enable the RSSI and AGC operation), the receive data framing block is enabled. A common use of this command is to enable again the receiver operation after it was masked by the command Mask Receive Data. In case Mask Receive timer is running while command Unmask Receive Data is received, reception is enabled, Mask Receive timer is reset. The commands Mask Receive Data and Unmask Receive Data are only accepted when the receiver is enabled (bit rx_en is set). Direct command chaining is possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. Measure Amplitude This command measures the amplitude on the RFI inputs and stores the result in the A/D Converter Output Register. When this command is executed the transmitter and Amplitude Detector are enabled, the output of the Amplitude Detector is multiplexed to the A/D converter input (the A/D converter is in absolute mode). The Amplitude Detector conversion gain is 0.6 VINPP/ VOUT. One LSB of the A/D converter output represents 13.02 mVpp on the RFI inputs. A 3 Vpp signal (the maximum allowed level on each of the two RFI inputs), results in 1.8 V output DC voltage and will produce a value of 1110 0110b on the A/D converter output. Duration time: 25 s max. This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. Squelch This direct command is intended to avoid demodulation problems of transponders that produce a lot of noise during data processing. It can also be used in a noisy environment. The operation of this command is explained in Squelch. Duration time: 500 s max. This command is only accepted when the transmitter and the receiver are operating. Command is actually executed only in case signal rx_on is low. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. DS11793 Rev 4 47/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Reset Rx Gain This command initializes the AGC, Squelch and RSSI block. Sending this command stops a squelch process in case it is going on, clears the current Squelch setting and loads the manual gain reduction from Receiver Configuration Register 4. This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. Adjust Regulators When this command is sent the power supply level of VDD is measured in maximum load conditions and the regulated voltage reference is set 250 mV below this measured level to ensure maximum possible stable regulated supply (see Section 1.2.11: Power supply system). The use of this command increases the system PSSR. At the beginning of execution of the command, both the receiver and transmitter are switched on to have the maximum current consumption, and the regulators are set to their maximum regulated voltage (5.1 V in case of 5 V supply and 3.4 V in case of 3.3 V supply). After 300 s VSP_RF is compared to VDD, if is not at least 250 mV lower the regulator setting is reduced by one step (120 mV in case of 5 V supply and 100 mV in case of 3.3 V supply) and measurement is done after another 300 s. The procedure is repeated until VSP_RF drops at least 250 mV below VDD, or until the minimum regulated voltage (3.9 V in case of 5 V supply and 2.4 V in case of 3.3 V supply) is reached. Duration time: 5 ms max. This command is accepted if en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. This command is not accepted when the external definition of the regulated voltage is selected in the Regulator Voltage Control Register(bit reg_s is set to H). Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. Calibrate Modulation Depth Starts a sequence that activates the transmission, measures the modulation depth and adapts it to comply with the modulation depth specified in the AM Modulation Depth Control Register. When calibration procedure is finished result is displayed in the same register. Refer to Section 1.2.20: AM modulation depth: definition and calibration for details about setting the AM modulation depth and running this command. Duration time: 275 s max. This command is accepted when en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. 48/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Calibrate Antenna Sending this command starts a sequence that adjusts the parallel capacitances connected to TRIMx_y pins so that the antenna LC tank is in resonance. See Section 1.2.21: Antenna tuning for details. Duration time: 250 s max. This command is accepted when en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Measure Phase This command measures the phase difference between the signals on the RFO outputs and the signals on the RFI inputs and stores the result in the A/D Converter Output Register. During execution of the direct command Measure Phase the transmitter and Phase Detector are enabled, the Phase Detector output is multiplexed on the input of A/ D converter, which is set in relative mode. Since the A/D converter range is from 1/6 VSP_A to 5/6 VSP_A the actual phase detector range is from 30 to 150. Values below 30 result in FFh, while values above 150 result in 00h. One LSB of the A/D conversion output represents 0.13% of carrier frequency period (0.468). The result of A/D conversion is in case of 90 phase shift in the middle of range (1000 0000b or 0111 1111b). A value higher than 1000 0000b means that phase detector output voltage is higher than VSP_A/2, which corresponds to case with phase shift lower than 90. In the opposite case, when the phase shift is higher than 90, the result of A/D conversion is lower than 0111 1111b. For example, the phase difference of 135 shown in Figure 7 results in 0.75 VSP_A, result stored in A/D converter is 31d (1Fh). The phase measurement result can be calculating using the following formulas: * 0 30: result = 255 (decimal) * 30 < < 150: angle (in ) = 30 + [(255 - u_angle) / 255) * 120] * 150 180: result = 0 (decimal) Duration time: 25 s max. This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. Clear RSSI The receiver automatically clears the RSSI bits in the RSSI Display Register and starts to measure the RSSI of the received signal when the signal rx_on is asserted. Since the RSSI bits store peak value (peak-hold type) the variations of the receiver input signal will not be followed (this may happen in case of long messages or test procedures). The direct command Clear RSSI clears the RSSI bits in the RSSI Display Register, and the RSSI measurement is restarted (in case, of course, rx_on is still high). This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is not produced. DS11793 Rev 4 49/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Transparent Mode Enters in the Transparent mode. The Transparent mode is entered on the rising edge of signal /SS and is maintained as long as signal /SS is kept high. This command is accepted when en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Calibrate Capacitive Sensor This command calibrates the Capacitive Sensor. See Section 1.1.5: Capacitive sensor for more details. Duration time: 3 ms max. This command is executed in case capacitive sensor automatic calibration mode is set (all bits cs_mcal in the Capacitive Sensor Control Register are set to 0). In order to avoid interference with Xtal oscillator and reader magnetic field, it is strongly recommended to use this command in Power-down mode only. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. Measure Capacitance This command performs the capacitance measurement. See Section 1.1.5: Capacitive sensor for more details. Duration time: 250 s max. In order to avoid interference with Xtal oscillator and reader magnetic field it is strongly recommended to use this command in Power-down mode only. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. Measure Power Supply This command performs the power supply measurement. Configuration bits mpsv1 and mpsv0 of the Regulator Voltage Control Register define which power supply is measured (VDD,VSP_A, VSP_D and VSP_RF can be measured). Result of measurement is stored in the A/D Converter Output Register. During the measurement the selected supply input is connected to a 1/3 resistive divider, whose output is multiplexed to A/D converter in absolute mode. Due to division by 3, one LSB represents 23.438 mV. Duration time: 25 s max. This command is accepted in case en (bit 7 of the Operation Control Register) is set and Xtal oscillator frequency is stable. Direct command chaining is not possible. IRQ due to termination of direct command is produced after command execution is terminated. 50/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B 1.2.14 Functional overview Start timers See Section 1.2.7: Timers on page 25. 1.2.15 Test access The ST25R3911B does not contain any dedicated test pins. A direct command Test Access is used to enable RW access of test registers and entry in different test modes. Pins CSI and CSO are used as test pins. Test mode entry and access to test registers Test registers are not part of normal SPI register address space. After sending a direct command Test Access, test registers can be accessed using normal Read/Write register SPI command. Access to test registers is possible in a chained command sequence where first command Test Access is sent, followed by read/write access to test registers using auto increment feature. After SPI interface reset (SS toggle) the content of test registers is kept. Test register are set to default state at power-up and by sending the command Clear Test Registers. Table 12.

The content of all registers is set to the default state. 1.2.17 1. The microcontroller, after a power-up, must correctly configure the two IO configuration registers. The content of these two registers defines operation options related to hardware (power supply mode, Xtal type, use of MCU_CLK clock, antenna operation mode). 2. Configure the regulators. It is recommended to use direct command Adjust Regulators to improve the system PSRR. 3. When implementing the LC tank tuning, send the direct command Calibrate Antenna. 4. When using the AM modulation (ISO-14443B for example), set the modulation depth in the AM Modulation Depth Control Register and send the command Calibrate Modulation Depth. 5. The ST25R3911B is now ready to operate. Reader operation To begin with, the operation mode and data rate have to be configured by writing the Mode Definition Register and Bit Rate Definition Register. Additionally, the receiver and transmitter operation options related to operation mode have to be defined. This is done automatically by sending the direct command Analog Preset. If more options are required apart from those defined by Analog Preset, then such options must be additionally set by writing the appropriate registers. Next, the Ready mode has to be entered by setting the bit en of the Operation Control Register. In this mode the oscillator is started and the regulators are enabled. When the oscillator operation is stable, an interrupt is sent. Before sending any command to a transponder, the transmitter and receiver have to be enabled by setting the bits rx_en and tx_en. RFID protocols usually require that the reader field is turned on for a while before sending the first command (5 ms for ISO14443). General purpose timer can be used to measure this time interval. If REQA or WUPA have to be sent, this is simply done by sending the appropriate direct command, otherwise the following sequence has to be followed: 52/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview 1. Send the direct command Clear 2. Define the number of transmitted bytes in the Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 1 and Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 2 3. Write the bytes to be transmitted in the FIFO 4. Send the direct command Transmit With CRC or Transmit Without CRC (whichever is appropriate) 5. When all the data is transmitted an interrupt is sent to inform the microcontroller that the transmission is finished (IRQ due to end of transmission) After the transmission is executed, the ST25R3911B receiver automatically starts to observe the RFI inputs to detect a transponder response. The RSSI and AGC (when enabled) start. The framing block processes the sub-carrier signal from receiver and fills the FIFO with data. When the reception is finished and all the data is in the FIFO an interrupt is sent to the microcontroller (IRQ due to end of receive), additionally the FIFO Status Register 1 and FIFO Status Register 2 display the number of bytes in the FIFO so that the microcontroller can proceed with data download. In case of an error or bit collision detected during reception, an interrupt with appropriate flag is sent. Transmit and Receive when the data packet is longer than FIFO In case a data packet is longer than FIFO the sequence explained above is modified. Before transmit the FIFO is filled. During transmit an interrupt is sent when remaining number of bytes is lower than the water level (IRQ due to FIFO water level). The microcontroller in turn adds more data in the FIFO. When all the data is transmitted an interrupt is sent to inform the microcontroller that transmission is finished. During reception situation is similar. In case the FIFO is loaded with more data than the receive water level, an interrupt is sent and the microcontroller in turn reads the data from the FIFO. When reception is finished an interrupt is sent to the microcontroller (IRQ due to end of receive), additionally the FIFO Status Register 1 and FIFO Status Register 2 display the number of bytes in the FIFO that are still to be read out. Anticollision - ISO 14443A Note: For this section, it is assumed that there is more than one ISO/IEC 14443A PICC in the reader RF field, and all of them are compatible with ISO/IEC 14443 up to level 4. This section describes the anticollision procedure of ST25R3911B for ISO14443A tags. After an ISO14443 type A tag enters in the reader field, the reader has to perform a selection process that brings it into the PROTOCOL state in which the actual application implemented in the tag can be executed. This selection process is described in the ISO/IEC 14443-3. Figure 21 shows the states that a tag and a reader have to pass through to enter the protocol state. The selection procedure starts when a PICC enters the reader field and the PCD sends a REQA (or WUPA) command followed by an anticollision procedure (including SELECT, RATS and PPS).

Note: 1. The Initiator operation mode of ST25R3911B must be set up for ISO 14443A in the Mode Definition Register (default is already for ISO14443A). 2. The Tx and Rx bit rates must be set to default (106 kbps) in the Bit Rate Definition Register. 3. Set the antcl bit in the ISO14443A and NFC 106kb/s Settings Register. This needs to be set before sending the REQA (or WUPA). As a result, the ST25R3911B will not trigger a framing error if in case the collision occurs in the ATQA or during anticollision procedure. This bit must be set to one for REQA, WUPA and ANTOCOLLISION commands, for other commands it has to be zero. 4. 54/131 Review and set a value for Mask Receive Timer Register lower than the Frame delay time, as required by the ISO14443A., and set the No-Response Timer Register 1 and No-Response Timer Register 2 according to the requirements. This is typically larger than the FDT. DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Note: Functional overview ST25R3911B offers the resolution of n/2 (64/fc - half steps) compared to n (128/fc) as mentioned in ISO 14443A so that the receiver can be unmasked n/2 steps before the actual transmission from the PICC. 5. According to ISO 14443A the FDT must be 1236/fc if last transmitted bit is 1, or 1172/fc if last transmitted bit is 0. Figure 22 shows an example of how MRT and NRT timers are set for a given FDT. Figure 22. Selection of MRT and NRT for a given FDT )'7 3&'WR3,&& 3,&&WR3&' 057)'7IF 15(!)'7IF 069 6. The receiver and transmitter operation options related to operation mode must be defined. This is done automatically by sending the direct command Analog Preset. If different options are required apart from those defined by Analog Preset, they must be additionally set by writing the appropriate registers. 7. Set rx_en and tx_en in the Operation Control Register. RFID protocols usually require that the reader field is turned on for a while before sending the first command (5 ms for ISO14443). General purpose timer can be used to count this time. 8. The reply from PICC for the REQA, WUPA, and replies within anticollision sequence before SAK do not contain CRC. In this case the no_CRC_rx bit in the Auxiliary Definition Register must be set to 1 (receive without CRC) before sending these commands. REQA and WUPA Sending these two commands is simple since they are implemented as direct commands (Transmit REQA and Transmit WUPA). The end of transmission of these commands is signaled to microcontroller by an interrupt - IRQ due to end of transmission). After the transmission is executed, the ST25R3911B receiver automatically starts to observe the RFI inputs to detect a transponder after the expiration of the Mask Receive timer. As a response to REQA (or WUPA) all the PICC in the field respond simultaneously with an ATQA. A collision can occur in this state if there are PICC with different UID size or has the bit frame anticollision bits set differently. Hence it is important to set the antcl bit to 1. If there is any IRQ (except I_nre) that ST25R3911B signals, the microcontroller must consider as a valid presence of tag and must proceed with the anticollision procedure. If more than one PICC is expected in the field, the following algorithm must be used to select multiple tags: DS11793 Rev 4 55/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B 1. Send REQA, if there is any answer continue 2. Perform anticollision, and select one PICC 3. Send HLTA to move the selected PICC to the HALT state 4. Go to step 1, and repeat this procedure until all the PICCs are in HALT state and all the UIDs have been extracted. Anticollision procedure After receiving the ATQA from the tags in the field, the next step is to execute the anticollision procedure to resolve the IDs of the tags. The procedure mainly uses the ANTICOLLISION and SELECT commands, which consist of: * Select code SEL (1 byte) * Number of valid bits NVB (1 byte) * 0 to 40 data bits of UID CLn according to the value of NVB The ANTICOLLISION command uses bit oriented anticollision frame (it does not use CRC). In this case the transmit needs to be done with direct command Transmit Without CRC and for the receive, the no_CRC_rx bit in the Auxiliary Definition Register must be set to 1. The final SELECT command and its response SAK contains a CRC, so the transmit needs to be done with command Transmit With CRC and before sending this command the configuration bit no_CRC_rx bit in the Auxiliary Definition Register must be set back to 0. If there is more than one PICC in the field, the collision will occur when the tags reply to the ANTICOLLISION command during anticollision, when the PICCs reply back with their UID. This collision can occur after a complete byte (Full byte scenario) or it can occur within a byte (Split byte scenario). The antcl bit in ISO14443A and NFC 106kb/s Settings Register must be set during this procedure too. As a result, the ST25R3911B will not trigger a Framing Error. This bit is also responsible for correct timing of anticollision and correct parity extraction. Note: It must only be set before sending an anticollision frame, REQA or WUPA. This bit must not be used in any other commands. Figure 23 shows how to implement the anticollision with ST25R3911B. Since SPI is byte oriented, in case of Split byte scenario, the invalid MSB bits must be ignored when reading out the FIFO for the received data. Similarly, 0s must be concatenated as MSB bits to complete a byte for the Transmit (which will then be ignored based on register 0x1E). 56/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Figure 23.

Both 212 and 424 kb/s bit rates are supported, they are same in both directions (reader to tag and tag to reader). Modulation reader to tag is AM. In FeliCaTM mode the FeliCaTM frame format (see Figure 24) is supported. DS11793 Rev 4 57/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Figure 24. FeliCaTM frame format Preamble SYNC Length Payload CRC Preamble: 48 data bits all logical 0 Sync: 2 bytes (B2h, 4Dh) Length: Length byte (value= payload length + 1), the length range is from 2 to 255 Payload: Payload CRC: 2 bytes FeliCaTM transmission In order to transmit FeliCaTM frame only the Payload data is put in the FIFO. The number of Payload bytes is defined in the Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 1 and Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 2. Preamble length is defined by bits f_p1 and f_p0 in the ISO14443B and FeliCa Settings Register, default value is 48 bits, but other options are possible. Transmission is triggered by sending direct command Transmit With CRC. First preamble is sent, followed by SYNC and Length bytes. Then Payload stored in FIFO is sent, transmission is terminated by two CRC bytes that are calculated by the ST25R3911B. Length byte is calculated from `number of transmitted bytes'. The following equation is used: length = payload length + 1 = number of transmitted bytes +1 FeliCaTM reception After transmission is done the ST25R3911B logic starts to parse the receiver output to detect the Preamble of FeliCaTM tag reply. Once the Preamble (followed by the two SYNC bytes) is detected the Length byte and Payload data are put in the FIFO. CRC bytes are internally checked. 1.2.19 NFCIP-1 operation The ST25R3911B supports all NFCIP-1 initiator modes and active communication target modes. All NFCIP-1 bit rates (106, 212 and 424 kbit/s) are supported. NFCIP-1 passive communication Initiator NFCIP-1 passive communication is equivalent to reader (PCD) to tag (PICC) communication where initiator acts as a reader and target acts as tag. The only difference is that in case of the NFCIP-1 passive communication the initiator performs Initial RF Collision Avoidance procedure at the beginning of communication. In order to act as NFCIP-1 passive communication initiator the ST25R3911B has to be configured according to Table 14. 58/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Table 14. Operation mode/bit rate setting for NFCIP-1 passive communication NFCIP-1 bit rate (kb/s) Operation mode setting Bit rate for Tx (kb/s) Bit rate for Rx (kb/s) Comments 106 ISO14443A fc/128 (~106) fc/128 (~106) - fc/64 (~212) - fc/32 (~424) - In FeliCa Mode data rate is the same in both directions 212 FeliCaTM 424 Initial set-up of the Operation Control Register before the start of communication is the same as in case of reader to tag communication, with the exception that the transmitter is not enabled by setting the tx_en bit. The direct command NFC Initial Field ON is sent instead. This command first performs the Initial RF Collision Avoidance with Collision Avoidance Threshold defined in the External Field Detector Threshold Register. The timing of Collision Avoidance is according to NFCIP-1 standard (for timing details see Table 10: Timing parameters of NFC Field ON commands). In case collision is not detected the tx_en bit is automatically set to switch the transmitter on. After minimum guard time TIRFG the I_cat IRQ is sent to inform controller that the first initiator command can be sent. From this point on communication is the same as for ISO14443A (for 106 kb/s) or for FeliCaTM (for 242 and 424 kb/s) reader communication. In case a presence of external field is detected an I_cac IRQ is sent. In such case a transmission should not be performed, command NFC Initial Field ON has to be repeated until collision is not detected anymore. Initial Collision Avoidance is not limited to modes supported by NFCIP-1. The initial Collision Avoidance according to procedure described above can be performed before any reader mode is started to avoid collision with an HF reader or an NFC device operating in proximity. Support of NFCIP-1 transport frame format Figure 25 shows the transport frame according to NFCIP-1. Figure 25. Transport frame format according to NFCIP-1 Transport Data Field Frame Format for 106 kbps SB LEN CMD0 CMD1 Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 ... ... Byte n E1 ... ... Byte n E2 Transport Data Field Frame Format for 212 kbps and 424 kbps PA SB LEN CMD0 CMD1 Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Transport Frame for bit rate 212 and 424 kb/s has the same format as communication frame used during Initialization and SDD. This format is also used in FeliCaTM protocol (see also Section 1.2.18: FeliCaTM reader mode). In case of 106 kb/s the SB (Start byte at F0h) and LEN (length byte) are only used in Transport Frame. Support of Transport Frame for 106 kb/s NFCIP-1 communication is enabled by setting bit nfc_f0 in the ISO14443A and NFC 106kb/s Settings Register. DS11793 Rev 4 59/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Once this bit is set and ISO 14443A mode with bit rate 106 kb/s is configured, the ST25R3911B behaves as indicated in the next subsections. Transmission In order to transmit a Transport Frame only the Transport Data has to be put in FIFO. The number of Transport Data bytes is defined in the Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 1 and Number of Transmitted Bytes Register 2. Transmission is triggered by sending direct command Transmit With CRC. First Start byte with value F0h followed by Length byte are sent. Then Transport Data stored in FIFO is sent, transmission is terminated by two CRC bytes (E1 in Figure 25) that are calculated by the ST25R3911B. Length byte is calculated from `number of transmitted bytes'. The following equation is used: length = Transport Data length + 1 = number of transmitted bytes +1 Reception After transmission is done the ST25R3911B logic starts to parse the receiver output to detect the start of tag reply. Once the start of communication sequence is detected the first byte (Start Byte with value F0h) is checked the Length byte and Transport Data bytes are put in the FIFO. CRC bytes are internally checked. In case the Start byte is not equal to F0h the following data bytes are still put in FIFO, additionally a soft framing error IRQ is set to indicate the Start Byte error. NFCIP-1 Active Communication Initiator During NFCIP-1 active communication both, initiator and target switch on its field when transmitting and switch off its field when receiving. In order to operate as NFCIP-1 active communication initiator the ST25R3911B has to be configured according to Table 15 (bit targ in Mode Definition Register has to be 0): Table 15. Operation mode/bit rate setting for NFCIP-1 active communication initiator NFCIP-1 bit rate (kb/s) Initiator operation mode setting 106 212 424 NFCIP-1 active communication Bit rate for Tx (kb/s) Bit rate for Rx (kb/s) fc/128 (~106) - fc/64 (~212) - fc/32 (~424) - Comments Data rate is the same in both directions for all NFCIP-1 communication. After selecting the NFCIP-1 active communication mode the receiver and transmitter have to be configured properly. This configuration can be done automatically by sending direct command Analog Preset (see Analog Preset). During NFCIP-1 active communication the RF Collision Avoidance and switching on the field is performed using NFC Field ON commands (see NFC Field ON commands), while the sending of message is performed using Transmit commands as in the case of reader communication. Alternatively the Response RF Collision Avoidance sequence is started automatically when the switching off of target field is detected in case the bit nfc_ar in the Mode Definition Register is set. When NFCIP-1 mode is activated the External Field Detector is automatically enabled by setting bit en_fd in the Auxiliary Display Register. The Peer Detection Threshold is used to 60/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview detect target field. During execution of `NFC Field ON' commands, the Collision Avoidance Threshold is used. Initial set-up of the Operation Control Register before the start of communication is the same as in case of reader to tag communication with the exception that the transmitter is not enabled by setting the tx_en bit. The tx_en bit and therefore switching on of the transmitter is controlled by NFC Field ON commands. Switching off the field is performed automatically after a message has been sent. The General Purpose and No-Response Timer Control Register is used to define the time during which the field stays switched on after a message has been transmitted. In order to receive the NFCIP-1 active reply only the AM demodulation channel is used. Due to this the receiver AM channel has to be enabled. The preset done by Analog Preset command enables only the AM demodulation channel, while PM channel is disabled to save current. In NFCIP-1 active communication the NFCIP-1Transport Frame format (see Figure 25) is always used. Due to this the ISO14443A and NFC 106kb/s Settings Register bit nfc_f0 is set by Analog Preset command (see Support of NFCIP-1 transport frame format). NFCIP-1 active communication sequence when bit nfc_ar in the Mode Definition Register is set (automatic Response RF Collision Avoidance sequence). During this sequence bits nfc_n1 and nfc_n0 of the Auxiliary Definition Register have to be 0 to produce Response Collision Avoidance sequence with n=0: 1. The direct command NFC Initial Field ON is sent. In case no collision was detected during RF Collision Avoidance the field is switched on and an IRQ with I_cat flag set is sent to controller after TIRFG. 2. The message, prepared as in case of reader to tag communication, is transmitted using Transmit command. 3. After the message is sent the field is switched off. The time between the end of the message and switching off the field is defined by the General Purpose timer (the General Purpose timer IRQ may be masked since controller does not need this information). 4. After switching off its field the ST25R3911B starts the No-Response timer and observes the External Field Detector output to detect the switching on of the target field. In case the target field is not detected before No-Response timer timeout, an IRQ due No-Response timer expire is sent. 5. When Target field is detected an IRQ with I_eon flag set is sent to controller and Mask Receive timer is started. After the Mask Receive Timer expires the receiver output starts to be observed to detect start of the target response. The reception process goes on as in case of reader to tag communication. 6. When the External Field Detector detects that the target has switched off its field, it sends an IRQ with I_eof flag set to the controller, and in case bit nfc_ar is set automatically activates the sequence of direct command NFC Response Field ON. In case no collision is detected during RF Collision Avoidance the field is switched on and an IRQ with I_cat flag set is sent to controller after TARFG. 7. Sequence loops through point 2. In case the last initiator command is sent in next sequence (DLS_REQ in case of NFCIP-1 protocol) the bit nfc_ar in the Mode Definition Register has to be put to 0 to avoid switching on the initiator field after the target has switched of its field. DS11793 Rev 4 61/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B NFCIP-1 active communication target The ST25R3911B target mode is activated by setting bit targ in the Mode Definition Register to 1. When target mode is activated the External Field Detector is automatically enabled by setting bit en_fd in the Auxiliary Definition Register. When bit targ is set and all bits of the Operation Control Register are set to 0, the ST25R3911B is in low power Initial NFC Target Mode. In this mode the External Field Detector with Peer Detection Threshold is enabled. There are two different NFC target modes implemented (defined by mode bits of the Mode Definition Register): the bit rate detection mode and normal mode. In the bit rate detection mode the framing logic performs automatic detection of the initiator data rate and writes it in the NFCIP Bit Rate Detection Display Register. In the normal mode it is supposed that the data rate defined in the Bit Rate Definition Register is used. After selecting the NFCIP-1 active target mode the receiver and transmitter have to be configured properly. Configuration is the same as in case of NFCIP-1 active initiator mode. This configuration can be done automatically by sending direct command Analog Preset (see Analog Preset). NFCIP-1 active communication sequence when bit nfc_ar in the Mode Definition Register is set (automatic Response RF Collision Avoidance sequence). During this sequence bits nfc_n1 and nfc_n0 of the Auxiliary Definition Register have to be 0 to produce Response Collision Avoidance with n=0. The following sequence assumes that the ST25R3911B is in the low power Initial NFC Target Mode with the bit rate detection mode selected. Bit nfc_ar in the Mode Definition Register is set (automatic Response RF Collision Avoidance sequence). When the initiator field is detected the following sequence is executed: 62/131 1. An IRQ with I_eon flag set is sent to the controller. 2. The controller turns on the oscillator, regulator and receiver. Mask Receive timer is started by sending direct command Start Mask Receive timer Timer. After the Mask Receive Timer expires the receiver output starts to be observed to detect start of the initiator message. 3. Once the start of initiator message is detected, an IRQ due to start of receive is sent, the framing logic switches on a module that automatically recognizes the bit rate of signal sent by the initiator. Once the bit rate is recognized an IRQ with I_nfct flag set is sent and the bit rate is automatically loaded in the NFCIP Bit Rate Detection Display Register. Detection of bit rate is also a condition that automatic Response RF Collision Avoidance sequence is enabled). The received message is decoded and put into the FIFO, IRQ is sent as after any received message. 4. The controller sends direct command Go to Normal NFC Mode, to copy the content of the NFCIP Bit Rate Detection Display Register to the Bit Rate Definition Register and to change the NFCIP-1 target mode to normal (the command Go To Normal Mode and reading of received data can be chained). Since the Tx modulation type depends on bit rate, the Tx modulation type also has to be correctly set at this point. 5. When the External Field Detector detects that the target has switched off its field, it sends an IRQ with I_eof flag set to the controller, and in case bit nfc_ar is set automatically activates the sequence of direct command NFC Response Field ON. Bits nfc_n1 and nfc_n0 of the Auxiliary Definition Register are used to define number n of Response RF Collision Avoidance sequence. In case no collision is detected during RF DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Collision Avoidance the field is switched on and an IRQ with I_cat flag set is sent to controller after TARFG. 6. The reply, prepared as in case of reader to tag communication is transmitted using Transmit command. 7. After the message is sent the field is switched off. The time between the end of the message and switching off the field is defined in the General Purpose timer (the General Purpose timer IRQ may be masked since controller does not need this information). From this point on the communication with initiator loops through the following sequence (during this sequence bits nfc_n1 and nfc_n0 of the Auxiliary Definition Register have to be 0 to produce Response RF Collision Avoidance with n=0): 1.2.20 1. After switching off its field the ST25R3911B starts the No-Response timer and observes the External Field Detector output to detect the switching on of the initiator field. In case the initiator field is not detected before No-Response timer timeout, an IRQ due No-Response timer expire is sent. 2. When initiator field is detected an IRQ with I_eon flag set is sent to controller and Mask Receive timer is started. After the Mask Receive Timer expires the receiver output starts to be observed to detect start of the initiator response. The reception process goes on as in case of reader to tag communication. 3. When the External Field Detector detects that the target has switched off its field, it sends an IRQ with I_eof flag set to the controller, and in case bit nfc_ar is set automatically activates the sequence of direct command NFC Response Field ON. In case no collision is detected during RF Collision Avoidance the field is switched on and an IRQ with I_cat flag set is sent to controller after TARFG. 4. The reply that was prepared as in case of reader to tag communication is transmitted using Transmit command 5. After the message is sent the field is switched off. The time between the end of the message and switching off the field is defined in General Purpose timer. In case a new command from initiator is expected the General Purpose timer IRQ may be masked since controller does not need this information. 6. In case a new command from Initiator is expected the sequence loops through point 1. In case the target reply was the last in a sequence (DLS_RES in case of NFCIP-1 protocol) a new command from initiator is not expected. At the moment the field is switched off, a General Purpose timer IRQ is received and the ST25R3911B is put back in the low power NFC Target Mode by deactivating the Operation Control Register. NFC mode is changed back to rate detection mode by writing the Mode Definition Register. AM modulation depth: definition and calibration The ST25R3911B transmitter supports OOK and AM modulation. The choice between OOK and AM modulation is done by writing bit tr_am in the Auxiliary Definition Register. AM modulation is preset by direct command Analog Preset in case the following protocols are configured: * ISO14443B * FeliCaTM * NFCIP-1 212 and 424 kb/s DS11793 Rev 4 63/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B The AM modulation depth can be automatically adjusted by setting the AM Modulation Depth Control Register and sending the direct command Calibrate Modulation Depth. There is also an alternative possibility where the command Calibrate Modulation Depth is not used and the modulated level is defined by writing the Antenna driver RFO AM Modulated Level Definition Register. AM modulation depth definition using the direct command Calibrate Modulation Depth Before sending the direct command Calibrate Modulation Depth the AM Modulation Depth Control Register has to be configured in the following way: * Bit 7 (am_s) has to be set to 0 to choose definition by the command Calibrate Modulation Depth * Bits 6 to 1 (mod5 to mod0) define target AM modulation depth Definition of modulation depth using bits mod5 to mod0 The RFID standard documents usually define the AM modulation level in form of the modulation index. The modulation index is defined as (a - b) / (a + b), where a and b are, respectively, the amplitude of the non-modulated carrier and of the modulated carrier. The modulation index specification is different for different standards. The ISO-14443B modulation index is typically 10% with allowed range from 8 to 14%, while range from 10 to 30% is defined in the ISO-15693, and 8 to 30% in the FeliCaTM and NFCIP-1 212 kb/s and 424 kb/s. The bits mod5 to mod0 are used to calculate the amplitude of the modulated level. The non-modulated level that was before measured by the A/D converter and stored in an 8 bit register is divided by a binary number in the range from 1 to 1.98. Bits mod5 to mod0 define binary decimals of this number. Example In case of the modulation index 10% the ratio between the non-modulated level (a) and the modulated level (b) is 1.2222, which, converted to binary and truncated to six decimals is 1.001110. So, in order to define the modulation index 10% the bits mod5 to mod0 have to be set to 001110. Table 16 shows the setting of the mod bits and the associated modulation indexes. Table 16.

The RFO drivers are composed of 8 binary weighted segments. Usually all these segments are turned on to define the normal, non-modulated level, there is also a possibility to increase the output resistance of the non-modulated state by writing the RFO Normal Level Definition Register. Before sending the direct command Calibrate Modulation Depth the oscillator and regulators have to be turned on. When the direct command Calibrate Modulation Depth is sent the following procedure is executed: DS11793 Rev 4 65/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B 1. The transmitter is turned on, non-modulated level is established. 2. The amplitude of the non-modulated carrier level established on the inputs RFI1 and RFI2 is measured by the A/D converter and stored in the A/D Converter Output Register. 3. Based on the measurement of the non-modulated level and the target modulated level defined by the bits mod5 to mod0 the target modulated level is calculated. 4. The output driver strength is adjusted using a successive approximation algorithm until the field strength is as close as possible to the calculated target modulated level. 5. The result of the output driver strength adjustment is copied in the AM Modulation Depth Display Register. Content of this register is used to define the AM modulated level. Note: After the calibration procedure is finished, the content of the RFO Normal Level Definition Register should not be changed. Modifications of the content of this register will change the non-modulated amplitude and therefore the ratio between the modulated and nonmodulated level. Note: In case the calibration of antenna resonant frequency in used, the command Calibrate Antenna has to be run before AM modulation depth adjustment. AM modulation depth definition using the RFO AM Modulated Level Definition Register When bit 7 (am_s) of the AM Modulation Depth Control Register is set to 1 the AM modulated level is controlled by writing the RFO Normal Level Definition Register. If the setting of the modulated level is already known it is not necessary to run the calibration procedure, the modulated level can be defined just by writing this register. It is also possible to implement calibration procedure through an external controller using the RFO Normal Level Definition Register and the direct command Measure Amplitude. This procedure has to be used when the target modulation depth is deeper than 33%. The procedure is the following: 1. 66/131 Write the non-modulated level in the RFO Normal Level Definition Register (usually it is all 0 to have the lower possible output resistance). 2. Switch on the transmitter. 3. Send the direct command Measure Amplitude. Read result from the A/D Converter Output Register. 4. Calculate the target modulated level from the target modulation index and result of the previous point. 5. In the following iterations content of the RFO Normal Level Definition Register is modified, the command Measure Amplitude executed and the result compared with the target modulated level as long as the result is not equal (or as close as possible) to the target modulated level. 6. At the end the content of the RFO Normal Level Definition Register that results in the target modulated level is written in the RFO AM Modulated Level Definition Register while the RFO Normal Level Definition Register is restored with the non-modulated definition value. DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B 1.2.21 Functional overview Antenna tuning The ST25R3911B integrates the blocks needed to check and to adjust the antenna LC tank resonance frequency. The Phase and Amplitude Detector block is used for resonance frequency checking and adjustment. In order to implement the antenna LC tank calibration tuning capacitors have to be connected between the two coil terminals to the pins TRIM1_3 to TRIM1_0 and TRIM2_3 to TRIM2_0. In case single driver is used only the pins TRIM1_3 to TRIM1_0 are used, pins TRIM2_3 to TRIM2_0 are left open. Figure 26 shows the connection of the trim capacitors for both single (left side) and differential (right side) driving for the simple case where the antenna LC tank is directly connected to RFO pins. The TRIMx_y pins contain the HVNMOS switching transistors to VSS. The on resistance of TRIM1_0 and TRIM2_0 switch transistors to be connected to LSB tuning capacitor is 50 typ. at 3 V VSP_D, the on resistance of other pins is binary weighted (the on resistance of TRIM1_3 and TRIM2_3 is 6.25 typ.) The breakdown voltage of the HVNMOS switch transistors is 25 V, putting a limit to the maximum peak to peak voltage on LC tank in case tuning is used. During tuning procedure the resonance frequency is adjusted by connecting some of the tuning capacitors to VSS and leaving others floating. The switches of the same binary weight are driven from the same source and are both on or off (the switches TRIM1_2 and TRIM2_2 are for example both either on or off). Antenna tuning can be automatically performed by sending direct command Calibrate Antenna or by an algorithm implemented in external controller by performing phase and amplitude measurements and controlling the TRIM switches using Antenna Calibration Control Register. Figure 26.

During automatic procedure, started by sending the direct command Calibrate Antenna, the ST25R3911B finds the position of TRIM switches where the phase difference between the RFO output signal and RFI input signal is as close as possible to the target phase defined in the Antenna Calibration Target Register. In case the antenna LC tank is directly connected to RFO pins (see Figure 26, where the cases of single and differential driving are reported, respectively on the left and on the right) there is 90 phase shift between signal on the RFO outputs and the voltage on the RFI inputs when antenna LC tank is in resonance. In case additional EMC filter is inserted between RFO outputs and antenna LC tank the phase shift in case of resonance depends on additional phase shift generated by EMC filter. During execution of the direct command Calibrate Antenna the ST25R3911B runs several phase measurements and changes configuration of TRIMx_y pins in order to find the best possible setting. Due to this the format of the Antenna Calibration Target Register is the same as the format of direct command Measure Phase result. The TRIMx_y pin configuration that is the result of the direct command Calibrate Antenna can be observed by reading the Antenna Calibration Display Register. This register also contains an error flag that is set in case the tuning to target phase was not possible. After the execution of direct command Calibrate Antenna the actual phase can be checked by sending direct command Measure Phase. Antenna tuning using Antenna Calibration Control Register There is also a possibility to control the position of the TRIM switches by writing the Antenna Calibration Control Register. When the bit trim_s of this register is set to 1 position of the trim switches is controlled by bits tre_3 to tre_0. Using this register and performing phase and amplitude measurements (using direct commands Measure Phase and Measure Amplitude) different tuning algorithms can be implemented in the external controller. 1.2.22 Stream mode and Transparent mode Standard and custom 13.56 MHz RFID reader protocols not supported by the ST25R3911B framing can be implemented using the ST25R3911B AFE and framing implemented in the external microcontroller. Transparent mode After sending the direct command Transparent Mode the external microcontroller directly controls the transmission modulator and gets the receiver output (control logic becomes "transparent"). The Transparent mode is entered on rising edge of signal /SS after sending the command Transparent Mode and is maintained as long as the signal /SS is kept high. Before sending the direct command Transparent Mode the transmitter and receiver have to be turned on, the AFE has to be configured properly. 68/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview While the ST25R3911B is in the Transparent mode, the AFE is controlled directly through the SPI: * Transmitter modulation is controlled by pin MOSI (high is modulator on) * Signal rx_on is controlled by pin SCLK (high enables RSSI and AGC) * Output of receiver AM demodulation chain (digitized sub-carrier signal) is sent to pin MISO * Output of receiver PM demodulation chain (digitized sub-carrier signal) is sent to pin IRQ By controlling the rx_on advanced receiver features like the RSSI and AGC can be used. The receiver channel selection bits are valid also in Transparent mode, therefore it is possible to use only one of the two channel outputs. In case single channel is selected it is always multiplexed to MISO, while IRQ is kept low. Configuration bits related to the ISO mode, framing and FIFO are meaningless in Transparent mode, while all other configuration bits are respected. Use of Transparent mode to implement active Peer to Peer (NFC) communication The framing implemented in the ST25R3911B supports all active modes according to the NFCIP-1 specification (ISO/IEC 18092:2004). In case any amendments to this specification or some custom active NFC communication need to be implemented Transparent mode can be used. There is no special NFC active communication transparent mode, controlling of the Tx modulation and the Rx is done as described above. The difference comparing to the reader transparent mode is that the emission of the carrier field has to be enabled only during Tx. This is done by writing the Operation Control Register before and after Tx. Since with every SPI command the Transparent mode is lost it has to be re-entered. In order to receive the reply in active NFC communication mode only the AM demodulation channel is used. Due to this the receiver AM channel has to be enabled, while PM can be disabled. Implementing active communication requires detection of external field. Setting the bit en_fd in the Auxiliary Definition Register enables the External Field Detector with Peer Detection Threshold. When bit en_fd is selected and the ST25R3911B is in Transparent mode, the External Field Detector output is multiplexed to pin IRQ. This enables detection of external target/initiator field and performing RF Collision Avoidance. In case timing of the NFC Field ON command is correct for the NFC active protocol being implemented, these commands can be used in combination with the Transparent mode. These commands are used to perform the RF Collision Avoidance, switching on the field and timing out the minimum time from switching on the field to start of transmitting the message. After getting the interrupt, the controller generates the message in the Transparent mode. When bit en_fd is set and all bits of the Operation Control Register are set to 0 the ST25R3911B is in the low power NFC Target Mode (same as in case of setting of targ bit, (see NFCIP-1 Active Communication Target). In this mode initiator field is detected. After getting an IRQ with I_eon flag set, the controller turns on the oscillator, regulator and receiver and performs reception in the Transparent mode. DS11793 Rev 4 69/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B MIFARETM Classic compatibility For communication with MIFARETM Classic compliant devices the bit6 and bit7 from the register 05h can be used to enable Type A custom frames. Alternatively, the stream mode of ST25R3911B can be used to send and receive MIFARETM Classic compliant or custom frames. Stream mode Stream mode can be used to implement protocols, where the low level framing needed for ISO14443 receive coding can be used and decoded information can be put in FIFO. The main advantage of this mode over the Transparent mode is that timing is generated in the ST25R3911B therefore the external controller does not have to operate in real time. The stream mode is selected in the Mode Definition Register, the operating options are defined in the Stream Mode Definition Register. Two different modes are supported for tag to reader communication (Sub-carrier and BPSK Stream Modes). General rule for Stream mode is that the first bit sent/received is put on the LSB position of the FIFO byte. After selecting the stream mode the receiver and transmitter have to be configured properly (Analog Preset direct command doesn't apply for stream mode). Sub-Carrier Stream Mode This mode supports protocols where during the tag to reader communication the time periods with sub-carrier signal are interchanged with time periods without modulation (like in the ISO14443A 106 kbit/s mode). In this mode the sub-carrier frequency and number of sub-carrier frequency periods in one reporting period is defined. Sub-carrier frequency in the range from fc/64 (212 kHz) to fc/8 (1695 kHz) are supported. Supported number of sub-carrier frequency periods in one reporting period range from two to eight. Start of receive interrupt is sent and the first data bit is put in FIFO after the first reporting time period with sub-carrier is detected. One bit of FIFO data gives information about status of input signal during one reporting period. Logic 1 means that the sub-carrier was detected during reporting period, while 0 means that no modulation was detected during reporting period. End of receive is reported when no sub-carrier signal in more than eight reporting periods have been detected. Figure 27 shows an example for setting scf = 01b and scp = 10b. With this setting the sub-carrier frequency is set to fc/32 (424 kHz) and the reporting period to four sub-carrier periods (128/fc ~106 s). 70/131 DS11793 Rev 4 ST25R3911B Functional overview Figure 27. Example of sub-carrier stream mode for scf = 01b and scp = 10b 'DWDLQ ),)2 ,QSXW VLJQDO IF IF 069 BPSK Stream Mode This mode supports protocols where during the tag to reader communication BPSK code is used (like in the ISO14443B mode). In this mode the sub-carrier frequency and number of sub-carrier frequency periods in one reporting period is defined. Sub-carrier frequency in the range from fc/16 (848 kHz) to fc/4 (3390 kHz) are supported. Supported number of sub-carrier frequency periods in one reporting period range from one to eight. Start of receive interrupt is sent and the first data bit is put in FIFO after the first reporting time period with sub-carrier is detected. Logic 0 is used for the initially detected phase, while logic 1 indicates inverted phase comparing to the initial phase. End of receive is reported when the first reporting period without sub-carrier is detected. Figure 28 shows an example for setting scf = 01b and scp = 01b. With this setting the subcarrier frequency is set to fc/8 (1695 kHz) and the reporting period to two sub-carrier periods (16/fc ~1.18 s). Figure 28. Example of BPSK stream mode for scf = 01b and scp = 10b 'DWDLQ ),)2 ,QSXW VLJQDO IF IF 069 Reader to Tag Communication in Stream Mode Reader to tag communication control is the same for both stream modes. Reader to tag coding is defined by data put in FIFO. The stx bits of Stream Mode Definition Register define the Tx time period during which one bit of FIFO data define the status of transmitter. In case the data bit is set to logic 0 there is no modulation, in case it is logic 1 the transmitted carrier signal is modulated according to current modulation type setting (AM or OOK). DS11793 Rev 4 71/131 72 Functional overview ST25R3911B Transmission in stream mode is started by sending direct commands Transmit Without CRC or Transmit With CRC. Figure 29 shows an example for setting stx = 000b. With this setting the Tx time period is defined to 128/fc (~9,44 s). Figure 29.

The possible addresses range from 00h to 3Fh. There are two types of registers implemented in the ST25R3911B: * configuration registers * display registers The configuration registers are used to configure the ST25R3911B. They can be read and written (RW) through the SPI. The display registers are read only (R); they contain information about the ST25R3911B internal state. Registers are set to their default state at power-up and after sending direct command Set Default. The exceptions are IO Configuration Register 1, IO Configuration Register 2 and Operation Control Register. These registers are related to the hardware configuration and are reset to their default state only at power-up. Table 17.
