1 DVK90132 global description
The development kit DVK90132 is composed of two boards connected together with specific PCB
connections.
The first board embeds the MLX90132 NFC reader IC and the minimum required components to make it
functional as an NFCIP-2 reader compliant with ISO/IEC14443 (type A and type B up to 848kbps),
ISO/IEC18092 (up to 424kbps) and ISO/IEC15693 international protocols. Two on-PCB printed RFID
antennas are available and selected through 0ohm bridge resistors. An optimized matching network is also
available for maximum RFID performances.
The second board forming the DVK90132 is a microcontroller PCB based on a STM32F103 ARM CORTEX
M3 form the company STMicroelectronics
®
. This microcontroller embeds the required firmware for stand-alone
RFID communications for easy and quick evaluation. A Development mode can also be selected to control the
MLX90132 through a set of TCL scripts allowing the development of higher layer applications. The board is
featuring an LCD displaying information in stand-alone mode and also a on-PCB joystick use for user
selection.
