13.56 MHz RFID Protocol on Stellaris® The Stellaris® 13.56 MHz RFID Wireless Kit from Texas Instruments is a complete system solution for enabling RFID capabilities in customers' end equipment. The solution works with two of our most popular Stellaris microcontroller development kits (each sold separately), a Stellaris EM2 expansion board, and TI's TRF7960TB HF RFID Reader Module along with all necessary firmware and software to provide a compelling RFID development environment and interactive system demonstration. This RFID technology has been selected for most contactless smart card projects and as a result, become the most successful one within the automatic fare collection industry. In addition, this technology successfully addresses other applications such as loyalty, road tolling, access management, and gaming. This solution is based on ISO/IEC 14443 Type A which is the international standard for proximity card systems consisting of card and reader components with a typical read/write distance of 10 cm (4 inches). The Stellaris® 13.56 MHz RFID solution allows software application developers to become familiar with the operation of the TRF7960TB Multi-Standard Fully Integrated 13.56 MHz RFID reader IC using their Texas Instruments’ Stellaris DK-LM3S9B96 or DK-LM3S9D96 development platforms (each sold separately) without having to be concerned about the RF portion of the system. The Stellaris EM2 expansion board (DK-LM3S9B96-EM2) facilitates the connection of up to 2 wireless expansion modules using SPI as the primary interface to the TRF7960TB module. – Based on ISO/IEC 14443A standard and used in >80% of all contactless smart cards today Proven, reliable, and robust technology – More than 1 billion smart card ICs in the field – More than 7 million reader components sold – Operable in harsh environmental conditions and maintenance-free Proven compatibility through a competent and independent certification institute Well-established, functioning worldwide infrastructure Highest security available via contactless interface – Externally certified by common criteria Included Software Sample Applications RFID Card Reader Simultaneous Dual- or Single-Card Access Displays UID and sector data for 2 cards simultaneously Modify displayed sector via touchscreen UI: format, increment/decrement, and erase Command-line access over serial port: read/write and display of any block on compatible cards Kit Contents DK-EM2-7960R Kit Contents The Stellaris® 13.56 MHz RFID Wireless Kit provides the tools engineers need to set up and develop wireless applications right out of the box including: Stellaris® 13.56 MHz RFID Block Diagram 1 DK-LM3S9B96 EM2 Expansion Board (works with Features Open architecture platform—convenient, fast, flexible Broadest product portfolio and suppliers available – Mixed installations possible – Multiple manufacturing sources for cards (50) and readers (200) July 2, 2011 both the DK-LM3S9B96 Development Board and the DK-LM3S9D96 Development Board, each sold separately) 1 TRF7960TB HF RFID Reader Module 2 ISO/IEC 14443A (MIFARE® 1K Classic) contactless smart cards ISO/IEC 15693 inlay variety pack CD with tools, documentation, and source code www.ti.com/stellariswireless 13.56 MHz RFID Protocol on Stellaris® (continued) Ordering Information Extended Protocol Support The RFID software provided for this kit is provided in both binary and source code form. Because RFID software contains security features, it is subject to U.S. Export Controls. After approval, a one-time download link will be provided to download the software. More information about getting pre-approved before purchasing a kit can be found at www.ti.com/stellariswireless. This kit ships with a download link for RFID software. The underlying RFID radio solution can be software-extended to all TRF7960TB-supported protocols: ISO 15693 (Vicinity Cards) ISO 18000-3 (Item Management) Tag-it™ (Smart Labels) Product Number Description DK-EM2-7960R ISO 14443B (Proximity Cards) Stellaris® 13.56 MHz RFID Wireless Kit (includes DK-LM3S9B96-EM2 Expansion Board) The DK-EM2-7960R works with either of these two Stellaris Development Kits (each sold separately) DK-LM3S9B96 Stellaris® LM3S9B96 Microcontroller Development Kit (Tempest class) DK-LM3S9D96 Stellaris® LM3S9D96 Microcontroller Development Kit (Firestorm class) Texas Instruments will be providing Stellaris-based solutions for all of these protocols.
