Functional description
The device reads and writes transponders at a frequency of 13.56 MHz and supports the ISO 14443A, ISO14443B and
ISO 15693 standards.
The microprocessor is an ARM ATMEL AT91SAM7S64.
The RF interface is based on the PHILIPS CLRC632 ‘Multiple contactless reader IC’ controller.
The SAM interface is formed by the ON NCN4555 ‘SIM card power supply / level translator’ circuit.
The power voltage is 3.3 Vdc and is used to supply the digital devices (such as: microprocessor and I/O). An internal
MAX1724 DC/DC step-up converter allows you to obtain a +5V voltage to supply RF devices. A 1.8 Vdc voltage
regulator is integrated inside the microprocessor and supplies the ARM core.
The RF antenna is integrated on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) of the module.
The reset signal operates at a hardware level.
The stand by signal is managed at a firmware level.
