Overview

1 Overview

To get started evaluating the RF430F5978 MCU, system developers can purchase the RF430F5978EVM

bundle. This bundle helps users evaluate the key features of RF430F5978 MCU: 3D LF wake-up and

trigger function, passive battery-less transponder operation, and resonant trimming.

The bundle includes a USB plug-in LF trigger module (MRD2EVM micro reader), RF430F5978 MCU

evaluation board (RF430F5978EVM), AP434R01 access point, and 3D LF antenna. Using this EVM

bundle, a typical demo application can be set up in which the RF430F5978 captures data from multiple

sensors over a period of time and, after it is triggered by the LF wake-up trigger from the reader, it

transmits the collected data to the access point via RF link. This data is then sent on to the included host

GUI to visualize the data curve and position of the object.

Features and benefits of the RF430F5978 MCU:

• Reduces power consumption by allowing the shutdown of the RF radio and quick startup with the LF

wake-up function, thus significantly extending battery life.

• Tracks its position and distance (within ±5 cm) relative to the 3D LF transponder using RSSI (return

signal strength indicator) within a 4-m radius of the reader's LF trigger.

• Protects sensitive data and prevents signal interference with the AES security coprocessor that allows

data encryption for product authentication and secure access control.

• Provides flexible customization at ultra-low power with the programmable MSP430 core.

• Accommodates a wide range of regional Sub-1GHz frequencies from 300 to 950 MHz.

• Reduces board size and cost with the integration of several key functions into a single MCU.

• Works with complementary TI components, such as TPS62163 and TPS62082 power management

ICs, the SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi®CC3100, and bq24040 IC.

4 Introduction

The RF430F5978EVM, including the user software, is a complete evaluation platform to evaluate the key

features of RF430F5978:

• 3D LF long-range trigger and wake-up function

• Passive batteryless transponder communication

• Resonant trimming

In a typical sequence, the MRD2EVM LF transmitter sends a 64-bit wake pattern and, as soon as the

RF430F5978EVM board is within the supply range (typically 2 m with the components in this kit but can

reach up to 10 m with an LF power transmitter) and detects a valid wake pattern, then activates the

microcontroller. The microcontroller then measures the receive signal strength (RSSI) of all three axes on

the 3D LF antenna, interprets the orientation and distance of the device, measures the temperature,

battery, and system voltage, and sends the information through the onboard UHF transceiver to the

AP434R01 access point.
