TI DK-LM3S9D96

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.
