1. Purpose
This document is intended to provide direction for TRF7960A/-70A users who desire to
implement a 13.56MHz NFC/RFID reader solution using the TRF79x0A IC connected to a
Texas Instruments embedded microcontroller or microprocessor development platform.
Examples of such development platforms are: the MSP-EXP430F5438 board, MSP-
EXP430F5529 board, the ARM Cortex-M3/M4 based board, or any other TI embedded
microcontroller platform with the EM socket headers populated.
2. Scope
This document will cover TRF79x0ATB module as it relates to using the module for
evaluation and development purposes in conjunction with Texas Instruments Embedded
Development platforms. This manual does not cover the in-depth details of the TRF79x0A
NFC/RFID IC families, as those details are well documented in the data sheets for those parts,
along with app notes that can be found on the product pages (see hyperlinks in References
section below).
