42 NFCT Near field communication tag
The NFCT peripheral (referred to as the 'NFC peripheral' from now on) supports communication signal
interface type A and 106 kbps bit rate from the NFC Forum.
With appropriate software, the NFC peripheral can be used to emulate the listening device NFC-A as
specified by the NFC Forum.
Listed here are the main features for the NFC peripheral:
NFC-A listen mode operation
13.56 MHz input frequency
Bit rate 106 kbps
Wake-on-field low power field detection (SENSE) mode
Frame assemble and disassemble for the NFC-A frames specified by the NFC Forum
Programmable frame timing controller
Integrated automatic collision resolution, CRC and parity functions
42.1 Overview
The NFC peripheral is an implementation of an NFC Forum compliant listening device NFC-A.
Figure 117: NFC block diagram
The NFC peripheral contains a 13.56 MHz AM receiver and a 13.56 MHz load modulator compatible with the
NFC-A technology defined in the NFC Forum with 106 kbps data rate.
The received frames will be automatically disassembled and the data part of the frame transferred to RAM.
When transmitting, the frame data will be transferred directly from RAM and transmitted with configurable
frame type and delay timing. The system will be notified by an event whenever a complete frame is received
or sent.
It also supports the collision detection and resolution ("anticollision") as defined by the NFC Forum.
