1 About This User Guide
This manual describes the modules and peripherals of the MCU-RF AES family of devices. Each description
presents the module or peripheral in a general sense. Not all features and functions of all modules or
peripherals may be present on all devices. In addition, modules or peripherals may differ in their exact
implementation between device families, or may not be fully implemented on an individual device or device
family.
Pin functions, internal signal connections, and operational parameters differ from device to device. The user
should consult the device-specific data sheet for these details.
The LF communication scheme is described in a dedicated LF user guide.

3 Introduction
The RF430F5978 EVM Software can be used to execute the main features of RF430F5978 device.
Resonant trimming, transponder communication (LF Passive Mode) and passive entry (LF Wake Up Mode)
communication can be executed. The EVM Software synchronizes its own settings with the device
configuration as far as possible to achieve valid data communication and response analyzing. Some
devices only offer partial functionality (e.g. smaller memory or trimming only). This is not considered in the
demo software and needs to be managed by the user.
Two COM-Ports or USB-Ports are required to communicate with the demo hardware.
