Application Notes
TRF79xxA HF-RFID Reader Layout Design Guide
Describes some suggested guidelines for use in the
laying out the TRF79xxA family of HF RFID readers.
Antenna Matching for the TRF7960 RFID Reader
Describes the design method for determining an
antenna matching circuit.
TRF7960A Firmware Design Hints
A reference for the firmware developer using the TRF7960A in
conjunction with microcontroller (for example, an MSP430™ or ARM™ device).
Management of the TRF7960 and TRF7960A Start-up Sequence
System developers concerned about
minimizing the current draw of TRF7960, TRF7960A, and their variants systems at start-up
time need guidance about handling the Regulator Control register (0x0B) value. Valid
application use case for this guidance is battery-powered RFID applications in which
controlling the entire system current draw over time is of the utmost concern.
TRF7960A RFID Multiplexer Example System
This application report describes the 16-channel high-
frequency (HF) (13.56 MHz) RFID reader system (based on the TRF7960A IC) designed by
TI for customer use. The system firmware resides on an MSP430F2370 MCU and supports
the ISO/IEC 15693 protocol in addition to communication with a host.
TRF7960A Reference Firmware Description
This
application
report
describes
the
firmware
implemented in the MSP430F2370 for use with the TI TRF7960A evaluation module (EVM).
The TRF7960AEVM is a multiple-standard fully integrated 13.56-MHz RFID analog front end
and data framing reader system. This document is designed for readers who may or may not
be experienced with firmware development for RFID and want to understand the reference
firmware and develop their own firmware for the TRF7960A.
Comparison of TRF7960 and TRF7960A
This application report helps current and new users of the
TRF7960 high-frequency RFID/NFC reader understand the differences between the
TRF7960 and the TRF7960A devices. Understanding these differences in detail and
applying this knowledge to application-specific requirements helps designers make informed
decisions about whether or not a bill of materials change is needed.
