TRF7960TB HF RFID Reader Module

1 Purpose

This document provides direction for TRF796x users implementing a 13.56-MHz RFID reader solution

using the TRF796x IC connected to a Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller or microprocessor

development platform. Examples of such development platforms are the MSP-EXP430F5438 board, the

ARM®Cortex™-M3 based DK-LM3S9B96 board, MAVRK™ Reference Kit, or any other TI embedded

microcontroller platform with the EM socket headers populated.

2 Scope

This document describes the TRF7960TB module as it relates to using the module for evaluation and

development purposes in conjunction with Texas Instruments Embedded Development platforms. This

manual does not cover the in-depth details of the TRF796x reader IC family, as those details are

documented in the data sheets for those parts, along with application notes that can be found on the

product pages (see hyperlinks in Section 3).

TRF7960TB Module Description

4 TRF7960TB Module Description

The TRF7960TB Evaluation Module (EVM) (see Figure 1) allows the software application developer to

become familiar with the functionalities of TRF7960 Multi-Standard Fully Integrated 13.56-MHz RFID

reader IC with the freedom to develop on the Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller development

platform of choice.

The TRF7960TB module also allows customer-driven antenna tuning with onboard coil and

customer-driven antenna form factor design.

The module is hardwired for SPI communications, supports slave select and TRF7960 Direct Mode 2

(default), Direct Mode 1, and Direct Mode 0 operations. The user also has access to and full control over

the TRF7960 EN2 and EN lines, allowing for design and development of ultralow-power high-frequency

(HF) RFID systems.

The module has an onboard boost converter (TPS61222DCKT) which boosts 3.3 VDC to 5 VDC out to

TRF7960 IC for +23 dBm (full transmitter power out) operations.

An impedance-matching circuit from 4 Ωto 50 Ωis populated on the module, and this is connected to a

tuned 50-Ωantenna circuit that consists of an 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 an external antenna.

Connection to Texas Instruments microcontroller platforms are made via Samtec EM headers located on

the back of the board (connectors P1/RF1 and P2/RF2).

7 MSP-EXP430F5438 Experimenters Board

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 (data sheet)

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 TRF7960TB module discussed here in this document.

The Experimenter Board helps designers quickly learn and develop using the new F5xx MCUs, which

provide the industry's 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 TRF7960TB 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 TRF7960TB board or pins

on header RF3.
