Introduction

The ST25RU3993-EVAL board is a RAIN

®

 (UHF) RFID reader system based on the integrated reader ST25RU3993 device.

The purpose of the ST25RU3993-EVAL board is to provide a comprehensive RAIN

®

 RFID reader system, which allows user to

evaluate the properties and features of the ST25RU3993. The ST25RU3993 is a versatile RAIN reader device, which can be
deployed in mobile, hand-held and stationary reader applications alike. The architecture of the ST25RU3993-EVAL board
combines a long range and a short range reader design. Furthermore the ST25RU3993-EVAL board has been fitted with
numerous easy to access test points and measurement possibilities.

The ST25RU3993-EVAL board is controlled via a graphical user interface (GUI) software running on a host PC through an USB/
UART bridge (requires COM port driver installation). The GUI can be downloaded from www.st.com.

The ST25RU3993-EVAL is powered through an USB 3.0 port in order to provide sufficient power for the long range
configuration of the reader. If an USB 3.0 port is not available an USB 2.0 Y-cable or an external power supply can be used to
enable the long range capabilities of the reader. If neither is available only the short range reader configuration with lower RF
power is available.

The ST25RU3993-EVAL offers two SMB (female) antenna ports, which can be configured via the GUI as active RF output. To
enable scanning for RAIN

®

 RFID transponders connect a suitable 50 Ω UHF antenna for the targeted frequency and RF power

range. The ST25RU3993-EVAL board supports 52 frequency channels ranging from 840 MHz to 960 MHz. In the reader
settings the appropriate frequency profile has to be selected.
