Overview 1.1 Introduction id Systems‘ product range includes high performance hand-held units. computer interfaces and OEM boards, capable of reading from and writing to a wide range of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and smart labels, operating at low (125/134kHz) and high (13.56MHz) frequencies. The OEM board described in this guide supports high frequency tags and smart labels from OMRON, Philips Semiconductors (LCODE), Texas Instruments (T ag-it) and Gemplus (FOLIO70), and is specifically designed to operate with a remote (deported) antenna. Product features include: o Read/write support for tags and smart labels from OMRON. Philips (I.CODE), Texas (T ag-it) and Gemplus (FOLIO70); o Operates with a remote antenna. allowing a separation of up to 1m between a board and its associated antenna; 0 ln System Programmability (ISP) provides powerful capabilities for upgrading firmware for enhanced functionality and support for new tag types; - Single supply operation (+5V) at low current (150mA when reading); - Digital control of board power supply (board onloff); . Low power modes, with board wake—up on external digital command or serial activity; . Serial interface (at RSZSZ or TI'L levels) with tri—state serial "I'I'L buffer for total isolation within embedded applications; . Powerful serial protocol, including optional direct ASCII output of tag data on successful read; 0 Two software controlled digital outputs for LEDs (on or off board); . I’C port for interfacing with external hardware (not supported in firmware); - Small board size (approximately 52x70x13mm) with EMI/RFI screens fitted. The OEM board provides a state of the art solution suitable for OEMs and System Integrators requiring powerful yet cost—effective capabilities for reading from and writing to all leading 13.56MHz tags and smart labels. The board may be used as a stand-alone component, or as part of a Basic or Enhanced OEM module, to provide additional facilities for demanding embedded applications. Remote antennas allow up to 1m separation between an OEM board and its associated antenna; in addition, this approach offers decreased sensitivity to the antennas‘ immediate surrounding environment, including electrical noise, metal and capacitive effects. The use of an advanced In System Programmable (ISP) component allows firmware to be readily and conveniently upgraded or modified to support new tags, or to provide enhanced functionality, without hardware changes. Low operating current, and a number of low power modes (including wake-up on external digital command) make this board ideally suited for embedded applications. Overview 1.2 Scope of this guide This guide describes the features and capabilities of a 13.58MHz OEM board for 13.56MHz tags and smart labels, including those from OMRON, Philips Semiconductors (LCODE), Texas Instruments (T ag-it) and Gemplus (FOLl070), and describes all aspects of the hardware. This guide should be read in conjunction with the corresponding document that describes the R8232 serial protocol (ace-232). 1.3 Product overview Features of the OEM board are summarised in Figure 1, which shows the board as viewed from above and below. Features include: 0 Powerful Processor The OEM board uses a powerful Atmel AVR RISC processor to control all board functionality. o In-System Programmability An on-board programming interface provides powerful capabilities for future upgrading of board firmware for enhanced functionality. - LED Indicators Two software controlled LEDs can be used to indicate power-on and status information, controlled via application software, a Serial Interface An R8232 or TI‘L compatible serial interface allows data to be transferred to and from the OEM board - External Antenna Provision is made for an external antenna to be connected directly to the board; this may be located up to 1m away. 0 Powerful Firmware The board supports read/write functionality for ltCODE tags and Tag-it tags and smart labels. and provides a powerful serial protocol for board set-up, data exchange and status monitoring. , a: guy © id Svsipme l m - nru Dn-sAAAl-u.

Power should be connected to J1 pin 2 (+ 5\/) and pin 10 (UV). The supply should be 5V +/- 0.2V with less than 50mV ripple. Connector J1 is part type Molex 53261-1090 (the mating part type is Molex 51021-1000) Above EMI Screening Cans Cu-sx Antenna Connector PTDCESSOT Figure 1 — OEM board features 9 id Svstnms l m , mm: mm...“ Using the Board There is no protection against over voltage on the board; therefore it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the correct power supply is applied. A power on control signal (DTR) is provided on J1 pin 4. When this pin is pulled high (+5V) the board will power up. When pulled low (OV) the board is in a powered down state, where it draws less than 100pA. In this state the TI'L serial interface signals are high impedance. The board will enter a low power sleep mode after a period of inactivity on the serial interface. Wake up is achieved by one of two methods: - Through transmission of a serial command to the board; . By pulling J1 pin 3 low (OV) for longer than 250mS, which will cause the board to wake-up and attempt a tag read. returning ASCII data via the serial interface. Keeping this pin low will place the board in a continuous read mode (please see our serial protocol guide for configuration of this option). 1 RI No connection should be made here 2 5V + 5V 3 RXD Serial data input from external source @3232 or TTL) 4 DTR J_Board)£wer on from external source (TTL active H) 5 TXD Serial data cytput to external source (R8232 or TTL) 6 [DsR Not implemented 7 DCD Not implemented 8 [RTS Wake-Up signal from external source (TT L active_L) 9 BAT No connection should be made here 10 GND UV Table 2 - Pin allocation of connector J1 An extemal antenna is attached via the cc-axial connector on the rear of the board (see section 2.5). 2.2 Processor The board uses a powerful Atmel AVR processor to control all functionality. An In System Programming (ISP) capability is available at J4, for downloading firmware. This is currently only available for use by id Systems. 2.3 Serial interface Connector J1 provides access to a three wire RSZ32 or ‘I'I’L compatible serial interface via pins 3, 5 and 10. Standard configuration is an R8232 interface; please contact id Systems if you wish to change this to a TTL interface. The default serial parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits. no parity, 1 stop bit. An optional baud rate of 19200 may be implemented by linking solder pad J3. The serial protocol that allows communication with the board is described in the corresponding guide (ace-232). 1,1 £3? ffFEE Using the Board 2.4 LED indicators Two LED indicators (LED D5 and LED D7) are provided. D5 is a standard 3mm LED which can be soldered directly on the board, or via two wires for mounting off-board. D7 is either a 0805 SMD LED for board mounting, or a standard 3mm LED connected to J2 for external mounting; it is recommended that either D7 or J2 is used, not both. D5 and D7 are controlled using the serial command CL_Set/0. 2.5 Antenna A number of remote antennas are available from id Systems to support this OEM board, and we recommend the use of these antennas to ensure optimum read/write ranges are achieved. Remote antennas are supplied ore—tuned for optimal performance; please do not make adjustments. The maximum capacitance of the antenna connecting lead should not exceed 100pF if quoted range performance is to be maintained. 2.6 Read/write ranges Typical read/write ranges are summarised in Table 3. Range figures assume optimum orientation of the tag and readers antennas, in an EMIIRFI clean environment, with no metallic objects nearby. Please note that read/write range will change according to antenna size and quality factor. The ranges summarised below are typical for an ant-hf2 antenna, with tags the same size as ISO credit card format. Read range (mm) 5 to 80 5 to 80 Write range (mm) 1 10 to 70 15 to 60 Table 3 - Typical read/write ranges 2.7 Mechanical Mechanical data for the board is provided in Appendix A. Four 2.8mm mounting holes are provided in the corners of the board, suitable for 2.5mm diameter screws. Please ensure that insulating spacers are used for mounting.
