R1270), 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 18 steps from 10dBm to 27dBm, the reader can detect tags at more than 3 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. 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 R1270 inside the new small form factor industrial handhelds, smartphone accessories and other compact form factor devices. The R1270 complies with and can operate in both European and US regulatory environments and due to its multiregional capabilities, it's ideal for integration in devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions. Fig. 1.1: Quark Up R1270 500mW UHF RFID Ultra Compact Module Evaluation Board The R1270CEVB evaluation board allows to manage the R1270 Quark Up reader directly via USB interface. This board is particularly suited for Quark Up reader evaluation and SW development purposes.

QUARK UP R1270 - Quark Up Technical Information Manual 10 External Connections The location of the connectors is shown in Fig. 2.1. Their mechanical specifications are listed below: Antenna Port: U.FL female (P.N. HIROSE: U.FL-R-SMT-1(10)). Supply and I/O connector: Molex P.N. 53748-0208 (mates with Molex 52991-0208 to be used on the host board).

The reader can be controlled via UART or USB interface. The selection of the interface is performed internally to the module according to the following algorithm: if no interface has been previously selected and a high level signal is detected on the RXD pin, the UART interface is selected and the USB interface is disabled; on the contrary if no interface has been previously selected and RXD pin is at low level or left unconnected, the USB interface is selected and the UART interface is disabled. Please note that in case you want to switch between the two interfaces you have to reset the module. For the USB interface a Virtual COM Port (VCP) is implemented. To establish a link with the device using UART or VCP connection, you must configure your COM port as follows: Baud rate: 115200 Parity: None Data bits: Stop bits: Flow Control: none JTAG pins, unless otherwise noted, are for internal debug purpose only and shall not be connected by the user. /RST and BSL_SEL pins shall be properly driven to start the bootloader of R1270 embedded microcontroller in case the user wants to upgrade the firmware image of the reader. In normal operation BSL_SEL shall be at low level or left unconnected. See § BLS operation page 19 for the description of the bootloader operation. Debug purpose and unused pins should not be connected.

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 R1270 doesn't provide internal current limitation protection. Quark Up Module Fig. 2.2: Quark Up R1270 power supply connection External 100uF bypass capacitor between Vin and GND is recommended for proper operation. QUARK UP R1270 - Quark Up Technical Information Manual 14 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. Quark Up Module Fig. 2.3: Quark Up R1270 GPIO connection example External reset R1270 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. Quark Up Module Fig. 2.4: Quark Up R1270 external reset QUARK UP R1270 - Quark Up Technical Information Manual 15 UART connection The RXD/TXD pins are used to communicate with the R1270 board via UART port. Since Quark Up 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, the host COM port shall be configured as follows: Baud rate: 115200 Parity: None Data bits: Stop bits: Flow Control: none Quark Up Module Fig. 2.5: Quark Up R1270 RS232 connection QUARK UP R1270 - Quark Up Technical Information Manual 16 USB connection In the following image the connection between R1270 module and USB interface is shown. Since the maximum supply current for the reader exceeds the USB limitation (500mA), the supply voltage shall be provided via an external power source or via a dual USB cable. The 5V_USB signal at pin 9 of reader connector is not intended to supply the module but is used by the reader to detect the presence of an USB host. Fig. 2.6: Quark Up R1270 USB connection A Virtual COM Port is implemented, in order to establish a link with the device, the host COM port shall be configured as follows: Baud rate: 115200 Parity: None Data bits: Stop bits: Flow Control: none The VID/PID combination that identifies the USB device is: VID: 21E1 PID: 0080 QUARK UP R1270 - Quark Up Technical Information Manual 17 Dual multiplexed antenna configuration The following application note is intended to provide the OEM manufacturer with the instructions in order to integrate R1270C module in a dual multiplexed antenna scenario. Please note that only one antenna transmit at a time. The circuit is based on Analog Device HMC544E RF switch and has an insertion loss of 0.25dB (typical). GPIO0 signal is used to select the active switch port. Fig. 7: Dual multiplexed antenna application note Antenna port specifications In the following table the pinout of R1270 antenna is shown.

An upgrade software has been developed to be used with Quark Up evaluation board (mod. R1270CEVB). BSL operation In order to start the BSL of Quark Up internal microcontroller /RST and BSL_SEL signal shall be driven as in the picture below: Fig. 2.8: BSL sequence The BSL program execution starts if after a reset (or at power up) the BSL_SEL pin is at high level for at least 100ms. The selected interface for upgrade operation is the USB and the protocol applied is defined as: • HID protocol with one input endpoint and one output endpoint. Each endpoint has a length of 64 bytes. • VID: 0x2047 • PID: 0x0200 Default value.

In case that the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be necessary. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing the end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.). In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In such case the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. e. If the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, the OEM integrator shall apply a label in a visible area on his product with the following statement: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: UVECAENRFID015 or Contains FCC ID: UVECAENRFID015 f. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product.
