General Information
The Quark (Model R1230CB), the new OEM reader of the easy2read© Family, is an UHF multiregional ultra compact
reader for low-power, high performances UHF RFID applications.
With programmable output power in 15 steps from 9dBm to 23dBm, the reader can detect tags at more than 2 mt of
distance (depending on antenna and tag dimensions).
Due to its low power consumption, the module is specifically designed to be easily integrated in battery powered
devices as well as powered directly by a standard USB port.
The radio frequency core of the module permits to achieve fast reading and to be used in dense reader and dense tag
environments for top-class rated performances.
The compactness of the device and the board-to-board connector allow to embed the R1230CB inside the new small
form factor industrial handhelds, smartphone accessories, small USB dongles and other compact form factor devices.
The R1230CB complies with and can operate in both European and US regulatory environments and due to its
multiregional capabilities, it is ideal for integration in devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions.
The Mod. R1230CBEVB evaluation board allows to manage the Mod. R1230CB OEM UHF multiregional Compact Reader
directly via USB
In case customers want to replace directly with Quark reader others CAEN RFID OEM modules (i.e. A828, A828A, A528),
the Mod. R1230ADAT adapter board can be used.

Tab. 2.2: QUARK R1230CB connector pinout
The GPIO0-GPIO3 pins are 4 general purpose bidirectional pins, their default direction (or after a Reset) is input.
The RXD/TXD pins are used to communicate with the Quark reader via UART port; to establish a link with the device
you must configure your COM port as follows:
Baud rate: 115200
Parity: None
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: none
JTAG pins, unless otherwise noted, are for internal debug purpose only and shall not be connected by the user.
/RST, BSL_SEL and TST pins shall be properly driven to start the bootloader of R1230CB embedded microcontroller in
case the user wants to upgrade the firmware image of the reader. In normal operation BSL_SEL and TST shall be at low
level or left unconnected.
See § BLS operation (pag. 16) for the description of bootloader operation.
VDD_M and 5V_OUT are two auxiliary supply sources with 20mA maximum current capability to be used as supply
voltages of external components.
1 Debug purpose and unused pins should not be connected.
2 If BSL_SEL is at high level, the UART interface is connected to the serial port dedicated to microcontroller Boot Strap Loader operation required for
flashing the firmware inside the MCU memory. This pin shall be at low level or left unconnected in normal operation.

Power supply connection
In the following schematic suggested R1230CB power supply connection is shown.
An external 100uF bypass capacitor between Vin and GND is recommended for proper operation.
The use of fuse F1 (or an equivalent solid state current limiter) is recommended since R1230CB doesn't provide internal
current limitation protection.
Fig. 2.3: QUARK R1230CB power supply connection
General purpose I/O connections
The GPIO0-GPIO3 pins are 4 general-purpose bidirectional pins. Their default direction after a power on reset or a
general reset is set to input.
GPIO, when configured as Outputs, can be used to drive indicators as leds or buzzers or to send trigger signal to others
equipments.
GPIO, when configured as Inputs, can accept control signals from other equipments or trigger signals from sensors (i.e.
photocells).
In the following schematic an example of application of GPIO is shown.

External reset
R1230CB manual reset can be performed by forcing at low level /RESET pin for 10μs at least. /RESET pin is pulled-up by
an internal resistor.
Fig. 2.5: QUARK R1230CB external reset
UART connection
The RXD/TXD pins are used to communicate with the R1230CB board via UART port. Since Quark RX/TX are TTL level
signals, in order to connect it with a PC, a TTL/RS232 translator shall be used (please refer to the diagram below).
To establish a link with the device host COM port shall be configured as follows:
Baud rate: 115200
Parity: None
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: none

Firmware Upgrade
Quark reader firmware upgrade is based on Boot Start Loader (BSL) of the embedded microcontroller inside the
module.
An upgrade software has been developed to be used with Quark evaluation board (mod. R1230CBEVB).
BLS operation
In order to start the BSL of Quark internal microcontroller /RST, TST and BSL_SEL signal shall be driven as in the picture
below:
Fig. 2.7: BSL sequence
The BSL program execution starts when TST pin has received a minimum of two positive transitions and if TST is high
while /RST rises from low to high. BSL_SEL shall be at high level before BSL starts. Pulses length and distance between
edges of all signals shall be 10ms at least.

Firmware upgrade via R1230CBEVB board
Quark firmware upgrade can be managed via USB by using the evaluation board (mod.R1230CBEVB) and the SW
upgrade program.
In order to upgrade the firmware follow the steps below:
- Connect to the USB port the evaluation board with the Quark reader installed
- Verify the virtual COM port associated to the board
- Open the FW upgrade program
- Select the COM port
- Select the image file by clicking on “Open” button
- Click on “Upgrade” button
- Disconnect the USB cable from the evaluation board
- Connect again the USB cable in order to restore normal reader operation.

PCB Pad Layout
In the picture below the recommended PCB pad layout to be implemented on the user host board is shown. The 4
square pads shall be used to solder R1230CB shield and shall be connected to ground. In addition is shown the position
and the layout required for Molex 52991-0208 connector, which mates with R1230CB supply and I/O connector, and
which shall be soldered on the host board.

FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
NOTE:
(a) Any changes or modification not approved by CAEN RFID could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
(b) The QUARK R1230CB Module, which is rated at 200 mW output, is approved for operation with the CAENRFID
antenna Mod. WANTENNAX012 (Linear polarized antenna 1.3dBi gain 902 - 928 MHz). Use of other than the approved
antenna with this unit may result in harmful interference with other users, and cause the unit to fail to meet regulatory
requirements.
(c) The QUARK R1230CB transmitter module is approved for battery operation. In case that the module is
embedded inside a device powered by AC line, the overall equipment shall be tested to comply with Section 15.207
requirements.
