0 The TRF79x0ATB Evaluation Modules are intended to allow the software application developer to get familiar with the functionalities of either of the TRF79x0A Multi-
Standard Fully Integrated 13.56 MHz NFC/RFID reader ICs with the freedom to develop on their Texas Instruments Embedded microcontroller development platform of choice. The TRF79x0ATB module is also intended to allow customer driven antenna tuning with onboard coil and customer driven antenna form factor design. The module is hard wired for SPI communications, supports Slave Select and TRF79x0A Direct Mode 2 (default), Direct Mode 1 and Direct Mode 0 operations. The user also has access to and full control over the TRF79x0A EN2 and EN lines, allowing for design and development of ultra low power NFC/HF RFID systems. The module has an onboard boost converter (TPS61222DCKT) which boosts
+3.3VDC in to +5VDC out to TRF79x0A IC for +23dBm (full transmitter power out) operations. An impedance matching circuit from 4 to 50 is populated on the module and this is connected to a tuned 50 antenna circuit which consists of onboard four turn coil with series and parallel passive elements (capacitors and a resistor). Test points are available on the board for checking firmware operations with oscilloscope or logic analyzer, impedance matching and for attaching external antenna. Connection to Texas Instruments Microcontroller platforms are made via Samtec EM headers located on the underside of the board (Connectors P1/RF1 and P2/RF2).

0 The MSP430F5438 Experimenter Board (MSP-EXP430F5438) is a development platform for the latest generation MSP430 MCUs. It features a 100-pin socket which supports the MSP430F5438 (datasheet) and other devices with similar pinouts. The socket allows for quick upgrades to newer devices or quick applications changes. It is also compatible with many TI low-power RF wireless evaluation modules such as the CC2520EMK and the TRF79x0ATB module discussed here in this document. The Experimenter Board helps designers quickly learn and develop using the new F5xx MCUs, which provide the industrys lowest active power consumption, more memory and leading integration for applications such as energy harvesting, wireless sensing and automatic metering infrastructure (AMI). A TI Flash Emulation Tool, like the MSP-FET430UIF, is required to program and debug the MSP430 devices on the experimenter board. The TRF79x0ATB module plugs into the RF1 and RF2 headers on this MSP-EXP board (see Figure 3). For logic analyzer connection during firmware debug, user can use test points on TRF79x0ATB board or pins on header RF3.

0 Module antenna as shipped is tuned for 50 impedance at 13.56MHz. It has a nominal bandwidth of 1.3MHz, which results in a quality factor of approximately 10. Module antenna circuit has a board mounted U.FL connector installed for users that want to experiment with different tuning solutions or disconnect onboard antenna and experiment with antennas of their own design or application. Below are some design/application notes for users to reference if they want to change the antenna Q factor or experiment further on their own in order to serve their particular application directly. TRF79x0ATB coil antenna tuning details starts with calculations to produce the theoretical values shown below (and based on measurements of antenna coil on Rev B board.) Coil value nominally measures 0.95uH at 13.56MHz and XL = 0.8 + j80.8 = 0.990 @ 63.4. To calculate the necessary values required for course resonance tuning and proper Q setting of the antenna, the following formula is used. C total RES

0 Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TIs recommended specifications and environmental considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 60 C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors and their representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities
(collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected. Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices which are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
