4. INSTALLING MANUAL
4.1. Desktop use
Customer Evaluation Board PNEV5180B is intended for development use in development
environment such are development departements in factories, at institutes. PNEV5180B
board is powered via USB serial connection from personal computer or via external power
supply.
Usuall climate conditions in development environment (room temperature and humidity) are
deep inside Customer Evaluation Board PNEV5180B specified climate conditions.
4.2. Power supply
Customer Development Board PNEV5180B has no power supply mounted on pcb. There are
two possibilties to connect external power supply:
- powering via USB port (mini B or micro B connector) from personal computer or
- via external power supply 7,5 V DC / 500 mA.
Which option is used is set with jumper J4 (figure 17).
The mini B USB (or micro B USB) connector is used for connection to the PC usb port – for

jumper J4. USB A male to mini (micro) B USB (5 pin) cable is used for connection between
Customer Evaluation Board PNEV5180B and personal computer.
External power supply 7.5 V DC / 500 mA is connected to power jack X4 to supply Customer
Development Board PNEV5180B. On board IC LT1129IST-5 is used to stabilize voltage to 5
V.
Note 1:
Power supply from USB port on personal computer has to comply with LPS requirement of
IEC60950-1.
Maximum lenght for USB cable is 1.8 meter.
Note 2:
External power supply 7,5 V DC / 500 mA has to comply with LPS requirement of IEC60950-

5. USER MANUAL
Customer Evaluation Board PNEV5180B is an example of implementation of ISO/IEC
14443A and ISO/IEC 14443B reader/writer, NFC reader/writer and Card Emulation Device on
the same printed board. Middle size antenna, implemented on the same pcb (reader and
antenna can be broken into separate parts), permits reading/writing on distance up to 50 mm
(RFID card or other NFC device). The onboard USB connector permits direct connection and
communication with personal computer.
Customer Evaluation Board PNEV5180B is inteded to send and receive data according to
the ISO 14443A and ISO 14443B protocol. Data transfer from reader to/from contactless
cards operates at frequency 13.56 MHz. Data transfer between PN5180 reader IC and
microcontroller LPC1769 is via SPI serial communication.
The firmware for testing and development purposes is written into LPC1769 microcontroller.
But user can develop his own firmware and write it via JTAG port into LPC1769 memory.
Power supply is via usb port or via external power supply (7.5 V / 500 mA).
How to installing user developed firmware is written in detail in Quick Start Guide (and ARM
Board User Manual).
5.1. General user instructions
-Reading/writing is possible with MIFARE contactless cards, FeliCa cards or with NFC
device.
-PNEV5180B board can detect contactless card or NFC device up to 50 mm from the
center reader's antenna.
-PNEV5180B board can emulate contactless (NFC) card.
-Contactless card identification is possible in electromagnetic field (created from
contactless reader). Nonmetal material between antenna and RFID contactless card
have no influence to reading distance or reading reliability.
-Reading/writing to/from card is very simple: user approaches his contactless card to
reader's antena. PNEV5180B board detects card and confirm reading via serial (USB)
communication to personal computer (depend from customer firmware). Successfully
reading/writing can be signalised with status led diode on PNEV5180B board.
