Equivalent Circuit of Power Supply and Antenna Driver DVS VEXT VS VBatt Standby Internal supply 9V 25 kΩ 12 kΩ 6V 6V 18V PS COILx DRV DGND The U2270B can be operated with one external supply voltage or with two externally-stabilized supply voltages for an extended driver output voltage or from the 12V battery voltage of a vehicle. The 12V supply capability is achieved via the on-chip power supply (see Figure 3-1). The power supply provides two different output voltages, VS and VEXT. VS is the internal power supply voltage for everything except for the driver circuit. Pin VS is used to connect a block capacitor. VS can be switched off by the STANDBY pin. In standby mode, the chip’s power consumption is very low. VEXT is the supply voltage of the antenna’s pre-driver. This voltage can also be used to operate external circuits, such as a microcontroller. In conjunction with an external NPN transistor, it also establishes the supply voltage of the antenna coil driver, DVS. 4 U2270B 4684E–RFID–02/08 U2270B 3.2 Operation Modes to Power the U2270B The following section explains the three different operation modes to power the U2270B. 3.2.1 One-rail Operation All internal circuits are operated from one 5V power rail (see Figure 3-2). In this case, VS, VEXT and DVS serve as inputs. VBatt is not used but should also be connected to that supply rail. Figure 3-2. One-rail Operation Supply + DVS 3.2.2 VEXT VS +5V (stabilized) VBatt Standby Two-rail Operation In this application, the driver voltage, DVS, and the pre-driver supply, VEXT, are operated at a higher voltage than the rest of the circuitry to obtain a higher driver-output swing and thus a higher magnetic field (see Figure 3-3). VS is connected to a 5V supply, whereas the driver voltages can be as high as 8V. This operation mode is intended to be used in situations where an extended communication distance is required. Figure 3-3. Two-rail Operation Supply 7V to 8V (stabilized) + + DVS 3.2.3 VEXT VS 5V (stabilized) VBatt Standby Battery-voltage Operation Using this operation mode, VS and VEXT are generated by the internal power supply (see Figure 3-4 on page 6). For this mode, an external voltage regulator is not needed. The IC can be switched off via the STANDBY pin. VEXT supplies the base of an external NPN transistor and external circuits, like a microcontroller (even in standby mode). Pin VEXT and VBatt are overvoltage protected via internal Zener diodes (see Figure 3-1 on page 4).The maximum current into the pins is determined by the maximum power dissipation and the maximum junction temperature of the IC. 5 4684E–RFID–02/08 Figure 3-4. Battery Operation 7V to 16V DVS Table 3-1.

An integrated compensation circuit ensures a wide temperature range and a supply-voltage– independent frequency which is selected by a fixed resistor between RF (pin 15) and VS (pin 14). For 125 kHz, a resistor value of 110 kΩ is defined. For other frequencies, use the following formula: 14375 - – 5 R t [ k Ω] = -------------------f 0 [ kHz ] This input can be used to adjust the frequency close to the resonance of the antenna. For more details see Section “Applications” on page 10. Figure 3-5. Equivalent Circuit of Pin RF VS Rf 2 kΩ RF 6 U2270B 4684E–RFID–02/08 U2270B 3.4 Low-pass Filter (LPF) The fully integrated low-pass filter (4th-order Butterworth) removes the remaining carrier signal and high-frequency disturbances after demodulation. The upper cut-off frequency of the LPF depends on the selected oscillator frequency. The typical value is fOsc / 18, and data rates up to fOsc / 25 are possible if bi-phase or Manchester encoding is used. A high-pass characteristic results from the capacitive coupling at the input pin 4 as shown in Figure 3-6. The input voltage swing is limited to 2 Vpp. For frequency response calculation, the impedances of the signal source and LPF input (typical 210 kΩ) have to be considered. The recommended values of the input capacitor for selected data rates are given in Section 4., “Applications” , on page 10. Note: After switching on the carrier, the DC voltage of the coupling capacitor changes rapidly. When the antenna voltage is stable, the LPF needs approximately 2 ms to recover full sensitivity. Figure 3-6. Equivalent Circuit of Pin Input VBias + 0.4V RS Input 10 kΩ CIN 210 kΩ VBias - 0.4V 3.5 Amplifier (AMP) The differential amplifier has a fixed gain, typically 30. The HIPASS pin is used for DC decoupling. The lower cut-off frequency of the decoupling circuit can be calculated as follows: 1 f cut = -------------------------------------------2 × π × C HP × R i The value of the internal resistor Ri can be assumed to be 2.5 kΩ. Recommended values of CHP for selected data rates can be found in Section 4., “Applications” , on page 10. 7 4684E–RFID–02/08 Figure 3-7. Equivalent Circuit of Pin HIPASS R + - Schmitt trigger R LPF VRef R R Ri HIPASS CHP 3.6 Schmitt Trigger The signal is processed by a Schmitt trigger to suppress possible noise and to make the signal microcontroller-compatible. The hysteresis level is 100 mV symmetrically to the DC operation point. The open-collector output is enabled by a low level at OE (pin 3). Figure 3-8. Equivalent Circuit of Pin OE 7 µA OE 8 U2270B 4684E–RFID–02/08 U2270B 3.7 Driver (DRV) The driver supplies the antenna coil with the appropriate energy. The circuit consists of two independent output stages. These output stages can be operated in two different modes. In common mode, the outputs of the stages are in phase; in this mode, the outputs can be interconnected to achieve a high-current output capability. Using the differential mode, the output voltages are in anti-phase; thus, the antenna coil is driven with a higher voltage. For a specific magnetic field, the antenna coil impedance is higher for the differential mode. As a higher coil impedance results in better system sensitivity, the differential mode should be preferred. The CFE input is intended to be used for writing data into a read/write or a crypto transponder. This is achieved by interrupting the RF field with short gaps. The various functions are controlled by the inputs MS and CFE (see “Function Table” on page 10). The equivalent circuit of the driver is shown in Figure 3-1 on page 4. Figure 3-9.

Applications To achieve the system performance, consider the power-supply environment and the magnetic-coupling situation. The selection of the appropriate power-supply operation mode depends on the quality of supply voltage. If an unregulated supply voltage in the range of V = 7V to 16V is available, the internal power supply of the U2270B can be used. In this case, standby mode can be used and an external low-current microcontroller can be supplied. If a 5V supply rail is available, it can be used to power the U2270B. In this case, check that the voltage is noise-free. An external power transistor is not necessary. The application also depends on the magnetic-coupling situation. The coupling factor mainly depends on the transmission distance and the antenna coils. The following table lists the appropriate application for a given coupling factor. The magnetic coupling factor can be determined using Atmel®’s test transponder coil. Table 4-1. Magnetic Coupling Magnetic Coupling Factor Appropriate Application k > 3% Free-running oscillator k > 1% Diode feedback k > 0.5% Diode feedback plus frequency altering k > 0.3% Diode feedback plus fine frequency tuning The maximum transmission distance is also influenced by the accuracy of the antenna’s resonance. Therefore, the recommendations given above are proposals only. A good compromise for the resonance accuracy of the antenna is a value in the range of fres = 125 kHz ± 3%. Further details concerning the adequate application and the antenna design is provided in Section “Antenna Design Hints”. 10 U2270B 4684E–RFID–02/08 U2270B The application of the U2270B includes the two capacitors CIN and CHP whose values are linearly dependent on the transponder’s data rate. The following table gives the appropriate values for the most common data rates. The values are valid for Manchester and bi-phase code. Table 4-2. Recommended Capacitor Values Data Rate f = 125 kHz Input Capacitor (CIN) Decoupling Capacitor (CHP) f / 32 = 3.9 Kbits/s 680 pF 100 nF f / 64 = 1.95 Kbits/s 1.2 nF 220 nF The following applications are typical examples. The values of CIN and CHP correspond to the transponder’s data rate only. The arrangement to fit the magnetic-coupling situation is also independent of other design issues except for one constellation. This constellation, consisting of diode feedback plus fine frequency tuning together with the two-rail power supply, should be used if the transmission distance is d ≈ 10 cm. 4.1 Application 1 Application using few external components.

This allows higher antenna resonance tolerances and/or higher communication distances. This application is preferred if the detecting microcontroller is close to the U2270B, as an additional microcontroller signal controls the adequate operating frequency. Figure 4-3.
