NFC(Near field communication)
Definition:
Near field communication, abbreviated NFC,
is a form of contactless communication
between devices like smartphones or tablets.
The Near Field Communication (NFC) Forum is a
non-profit industry association that promotes the use of
NFC short-range wireless interaction in consumer
electronics, mobile devices and PCs.
What is NFC ?
NFC comes from RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)
 NFC have three standard:
FeliCaTM(SONY) ISO14443A, B(Philips)
Type A, Type B, Type F
 NFC is a set of short-range wireless technologies
 Operates at 13.56MHz on ISO/IEC 18000-3 air
interface and at rates ranging from 106Kbit/s to
424Kbits/s
 Theoretical working distance with compact standard
antennas: up to 20 cm (practical working distance of
about 4 centimeters)

How does it work ?
Involves an initiator and a target
2. Initiator actively generates an RF field
that can power a passive target
 Passive communication mode
 Active communication mode


Access Control: Replacing traditional keys for either
physical access (hotel room) or control (starting a
car)
Ticketing: Replacing paper tickets for social events
and public transportation
Contactless Payments: Mobile payments debited from
financial or MNO linked accounts
Interactive World: Marketing and exchange of
information such as schedules, maps, business card
and coupon delivery using NFC Marketing tags
Media Sharing: Transfer images, videos, music between
mobile phones
Social media e.g. "Like" on Facebook, "Follow" on
Twitter via NFC smart stickers in retail stores
• Security
• Bit rate is low(only few information can be past in a
short time)
• Short distance

Two Official Suggestion of TRF7970A

Using Parallel Microcontroller Interface

Using SPI With SS Mode

Parallel Microcontroller Interface
Schematic for a parallel MCU interface
General Application Consideration

Due to the low clock frequency on the
data_clk (pin 26) line, the parallel
interface is the most robust way to
connect the TRF7970A with the MCU.
General Application Consideration
Schematic shows matching to a 50 Ω
port, which allows connecting to a
properly matched 50 Ω antenna circuit or
RF measurement equipment
For example: a spectrum analyzer or
power meter.


With SS Mode
Schematic for SPI with an SS mode MCU interface.
General Application Consideration
Systems using the Serial Port Interface (SPI).
Short SPI lines, proper isolation of radio
frequency lines, and a proper ground area are
essential to avoid interference.
 The recommended clock frequency on the
data_clk line is 2 MHz.

Structure

There are two parts in NFC technique.
a)NFC analog front-end (one case is NFC
Controller with antenna).
b)Security unit. Depending on the application
requirements, it can be SIM, SD, SAM or other
chips.
To fulfill NFC technique. Here is the graph:
