TRF796xA / TRF7970A – 13.56MHz NFC / RFID transceiver ICs

NFC-1-Hardware-Pro

Detailed Description

The and TRF7970A are high-performance 13.56MHz analog front end (AFE) ICs with integrated data-framing system for ISO/IEC 15693, ISO/IEC 18000-3, ISO/IEC 14443A and B. The TRF7970A supports Near Field Communication (NFC) standards NFCIP-1 (ISO/IEC 18092) and NFCIP-2 (ISO/IEC 21481) which define the selection of any of the three possible communication modes (NFC peer-to-peer, card emulation, proximity reader/writer – ISO 14443A/B or FeliCa and Vicinity reader/writer – ISO 15693).

Integrated encode, decode and data framing capability for data rates up to 848 kbits, wide supply voltage range support (2.7 V – 5.5 V), large FIFO buffer for RF communication, relevant NFC software stack libraries and an innovative RF field detector allow for easy development efforts and robust, cost-effective designs.

The devices also offer unparalleled flexibility via the various direct communication modes on the device to allow implementations of custom protocols as well as other 13.56MHz standards. The receiver system enables AM and PM demodulation using a dual-input architecture to maximize communication robustness. Finally, eight selectable power modes and ultra-low-power operation enable the longest battery life in the industry.
