6 Description of Operation
6.1 Transmission Protocol
Image of transmission protocol between host computer, Reader/Writer Module, and RFID chip is
shown in Figure 6-1.
Reader/Writer Module receives command and data from the host computer and transmits them to
RFID chip. It also receives response and data from RFID chip, and judges whether transmission is
completed or not, and then transmits the results to the host computer,

Coil-on-Chip RFID
6.2.1 Parameter of Analog Characteristic
Most suitable parameter of analog characteristic depends on transmission characteristic of each
RFID chip and positional relationship between antenna coil on Reader/Writer Module and RFID
chip. Estimate gain setting with least transmission error and set it as default value.
When accessing other RFID chip or repositioning (including insertion and withdrawal), optimize the
parameter of analog characteristic to match with the receiving characteristic from RFID chip.
When transmission errors occurs and transmission is not possible despite of retrying, provide
software processing to shifting set gain values up and down automatically. We recommend you
should shift the set gain values above and below the default value, taking operating environment
(supply voltage, ambient temperature), dispersion of transmission distance, dispersion of
transmission performance of RFID chip into consideration.
・ Recommended setting for evaluation
Default 29 → 2A → 28 → 2B → 27 → 2C → 26 (→ return to default value)
(retry for a few times at each gain)
Set gain values of receiving amplifier are shown below.

6.2.2 RESET command
It is possible to issue RESET command even in case of sequence of executing other command.
However, because all the transmission sequences are interrupted to respond to RESET command,
we cannot guarantee internal operation, depending on the transmission sequence being executed.
Therefore, issue RESET command after a considerable time elapsed since completion of the
previous command transmission sequence.
We recommend that you should issue RESET command only in case of trouble, for example,
when ”response is not returned” as a result of waiting response from Reader/Writer Module.
You cannot do 40-second timer deactivation by RESET command after 40-second timeout
(impossible to communicate with RFID chip).
External reset or turning power off and on is
required.

8 Precautions Before Use
・ This Reader/Writer Module itself may not meet EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) standard.
Give consideration to conformity of the system to EMC standard as required for intended use and
destination of your system.
・ Do not place metallic parts between Reader/Writer Module and RFID chip. Keep antenna away
from conductive objects such as metallic frame. If such object is close to antenna, it may impair
transmission characteristic.
9 Precautions for Handling
・ This Reader/Writer Module is precision apparatus. Do not disassemble or modify it. Otherwise, it
may cause malfunction, failure, fire, or electric shock.
・ Before handling the module, discharge electrostatic charge from your body. Do not drop, strike,
bend, or give impact on the module.
・ Do not touch with wet hand. Otherwise, it will cause failure.
・ This module employs metallic shield plate. When you handle the module, do not touch its edge.
The edge is sharp and your finger may get a cut.
・ Use exclusive card compatible with this module only. Do not insert any object such as iron plate or
coin. Otherwise, it may cause failure.
・ Never remove cables during access to the card. Otherwise, it may cause collapse of data in the
card or the card itself.
・ Do not touch or remove the card during access to the card. Otherwise, it may cause collapse of
data in the card or the card itself.
10 Cautions for Use
・ When required transmission is completed, stop the carrier. If carrier output continues, RFID chip
may generate heat. For safety, the Reader/Writer Module automatically stops carrier in about 40
seconds after the start of carrier output. If you turn off the power and turn it on again, the module is
recovered.
・ For safety, provide the host computer with power protection against overcurrent due to short-circuit of
components in this module, etc.
・ Be sure to carry out Read Verify check after writing.
・ When retrying because of transmission error, readjust receiving amp gain.
・ Do not use this module with reversed combination of antenna board and Reader/Writer board.
Otherwise, it may impair transmission performance (excluding cables).
・ Turn off the power before removing or inserting the card. Otherwise, it may cause failure.
・ Do not bend this module at its portion close to the housing of antenna cable. Otherwise, it may
cause breakage of conductor.
・ Insert the card in the arrowed direction in such a manner that the face is visible. If the direction is
wrong, transmission error may occur. In such case, insert it in correct direction.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
