User’s Manual PicoRead Chipset Reference Board M210-3G-Rev F Datasheet – V1.3c CHAPTER 2 : PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS & INSTALLATION 2.1 General This chapter provides a description of the product hardware. It also provides the electrical specifications of inputs and outputs. Important care must be taken during the coupler mounting. Bad connection may damage the coupler or the power supply. Make sure that the power is switched off during coupler mounting and cable connection. The product has been designed with easy installation in mind. The following information provides you with any details that you will need to know. 2.2 Mechanical Information & Connectors (W*L*H): 41,5x60x12mm Mounting is accomplished using the three 3 mm holes located on the module corners.

User’s Manual PicoRead Chipset Reference Board M210-3G-Rev F Datasheet – V1.3c 2.3 Supply Connector: J1 The PicoRead chipset reference board must be powered using connector J1. J1 Pin Name Description Notes 1 Vdd Positive supply voltage VDC 2 Gnd 0 volts Parameter Min Typical Max Supply voltage VDC 4.5 VDC 5VDC 5.5VDC Supply Current ICC 50mA 150mA Ripple 20mV Sleep mode 300µA Table 1: Supply connector specification CAUTIONS: • Reversing the power supply may destroy the device • There is no over current protection on the board itself. Make sure that it exists on the power supply unit. • If you are using a switch power supply you must ensure that the switching frequency is below 100kHz or above 1Mhz. Such a supply may generate noise, add communication holes and reduce read range. • Linear power supplied must be used to get the best performances from the reference board. 2.4 Antenna Connector: J8 The PicoRead chipset reference design has been also designed for custom antenna connection using J8 connector. J8 Pin Name Description Notes 1 Coil Rec Antenna Coil Input 2 Ant_Out1 PicoRead RF ANT1 output 1 3 Gnd 0 volts 4 Ant_Out2 PicoRead RF ANT2 output 1 Note 1: A 16Mhz low pass LC Filter is inserted between the PicoRead RF output and this pin. CAUTIONS: Refer to the “PicoRead Chipset Datasheet” and Applications Notes for antenna design rules. Refer to the PicoRead Chipset Reference design Application Note for schematics and components details.

(J1 connector, pin 5) The RST pin provides a method for triggering an external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by holding the pin low. This reset is equivalent to a power on reset. Micro controller Reset to factory settings: This feature is useful if you can no more exchange data between host and Picoread MCU. It may happen if you download application code into the MCU Flash memory (cf. Code download ESDK). This action will reset the parameters (speed, disable mode, protocol settings, keys ) to the defaults values. All these values are stored in coupler’s internal EEPROM. Software reset It is possible to reset the coupler’s EEPROM by sending 2 commands thanks to the SET STATUS command. Command = $80,$F4,$80,$3E,$01 - Data = $00 Command = $80,$F4,$80,$7E,$01 - Data = $00 Then the coupler has the default setting: 9600 baud, default protocols.... Hardware reset In order to reset the PicoRead MCU memory to factory settings, the two pins P0 and P1 must be inter-connected during power up (at least 100 ms after applying vdd) and then left not connected. These pins must be not connected for normal usage. J9 Pin Name Description Notes 1 P0 PicoRead MCU Reset pin 2 P1 PicoRead MCU Reset pin
