MICROELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY INC 3 April 16, 2015 1 Introduction The RU00-M03 is a System in Package (SiP) that comprises a completely in integrated solution for EPC Gen 2 / ISO18000-63 (formerly 18000-6C) application. The SiP was developed to make embedding UHF RFID reader capability easy. The RU00-M03 builds on market-leading Indy reader chip technology and integrates all of the necessary components into a tiny package. It requires very few external components. The RU00-M03 comes in a surface mount package designed to work as a SMT (surface mount technology) component in a standard PCB manufacturing process. This document provides instructions to the end-user to ensure optimal performance in their OEM hardware. Details on the use of the RU00-M03 Development Kit are also included to provide an example of appropriate application.

MICROELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY INC 10 April 16, 2015 6 Interfacing to the RU00-M03  Power and Ground All circuits on the RU00-M03 are powered from inputs at pin 1 and 11. The RU00-M03 operates with any supply voltage between 3.2 and 5.25V. Because the individual supplies within the part are regulated on the RU00-M03, a large amount of supply filtering is not required. A high value, low ESR tantalum capacitor (150uF or greater) is recommended and should be accompanied by a 0.1uF ceramic chip capacitor close to the pin. All 16 available ground pins of the RU00-M03 must be soldered to the user PCB per the recommended assembly guidelines. If the PCB utilizes separate analog/RF and digital grounds, it is recommended that the RU00-M03 connect to the analog/RF ground. Providing a highly conductive path from the SiP ground to a continuous ground plane (by use of numerous vias to the ground plane) and as much ground conductor area as possible on the outer layers of the user PCB will help to reduce the RU00-M03 temperature rise during operation.  Communication The RU00-M03 has two UART ports, each of which utilizes 3.3V CMOS I/O over a pair of pins. The UARTs are compatible with a standard RS-232C serial port through an appropriate level translator IC. The user’s host processor issues IRI commands to the HOST UART (RX pin 7, TX pin 6), which can be configured for any standard UART data rate for 115.2k, 230.4k, 460.8k and 921.6 kbaud. The default rate is set to 115.2 kbaud. The DEBUG UART (RX pin 4, TX pin 3) is available to provide status information from the RU00-M03 microcontroller. The DEBUG UART is not required for RU00-M03 reader applications and should be operated at a fixed data rate of 115.2 kbaud. Please see the RU00-M03data sheet for detailed I/O specifications.  RF The RU00-M03 is configured for monostatic operation, which requires only a single RF I/O pin for full duplex communication. The output must be routed to the antenna via 50 ohm microstrip or stripline on the OEM PCB. No coupling capacitor is required given that the RF pin is AC-coupled internal to the RU00-M03. To maximize the radiated power (and corresponding communication range), the length of the transmission line between RU00-M03 and antenna should be made as short as possible.   GPIO There are four user-configurable digital GPIOs on the RU00-M03. The signals are number GPIO1 – GPIO4 and occupy pins 17 – 20 respectively. Each GPIO operates at standard 3.3V CMOS logic levels with a minimum output current capability of 4 mA per pin while maintaining guaranteed noise margins. Appropriate interface circuitry and layout as well as handling of the OEM hardware should be applied. Please see the RU00-M03 data sheet for detailed I/O specifications.
MICROELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY INC 11 April 16, 2015  Enable Pin 9 of the RU00-M03 comprises the ENABLE signal. The RU00-M03 is held in reset if the signal is held low. The ENABLE signal is bidirectional and is pulled down to 3.3V by ~10kΩ resistance internal to the RU00-M03. Any external connection to this pin must maintain a low impedance (<<10kΩ) other than when an external reset signal is applied. This allows the RU00-M03 to exert control of the reset line during power up and other situations that require it.  Health and Status RU00-M03 pin 22 is a dedicated digital output that indicates the HEALTH of the RU00-M03. After the RU00-M03 is successfully booted and in its operational state, the health output switches to low. Otherwise, the output is high. The OEM can digitally monitor this signal or use it to drive an LED for visual indication of the RU00-M03 health. Pin 23 is a dedicated digital output that indicates the tag inventory STATUS of the RU00-M03. When the RU00-M03 is successfully inventorying one or more tags, it will generate 0.5ms minimum high pulse. The output remains low when no tags are being inventoried. Like the health signal, the OEM can monitor it via firmware or use it to drive an LED for visual indication to the device user. 7 Operating the RU00-M03 Once the required hardware connections are made to the RU00-M03, the unit can be operated with simple software routines running on the OEM’s host processor. The host software issues commands to configure the reader, set the reader’s idle mode and to start and stop various Gen2 RFID reader operations. An example of the sequence of events starting at reader power-up is: 1. Apply 3.2V~5.25V power to the RU00-M03. 2. Establish a connection to the device via the host software. 3. Configure the reader. Critical parameters are: a. Region of operation When configured for a specific region, the RU00-M03 can operate only according to the air interface standards for that region. Key communication parameters are not adjustable by the user but are inherent in the RU00-M03 firmware. The FCC regional operation is the default for the device. NOTE: The OEM is strictly forbidden to operate the RU00-M03 in a regional mode other than that in which the device is located. Applicable agency certification must be obtained by the OEM for their product to operate in the region in which it is located. The modular certification of the RU00-M03 in the U.S. may only be utilized by OEM’s that follow all guidelines set forth in this document. b. RF output power The RU00-M03 output power must be set to a level between 10 and 30dBm. The default power is set to the reader’s maximum allowable of 30dBm. 4. Initiate an RFID operation. Gen2 RFID operations including Inventory, Read, Write, Lock and Kill are initiated with a command. 5. Set the RU00-M03 standby mode. When the RU00-M03 is not executing an RFID operation, it assumes a low power state until another RFID function is initiated by the host.
