Universal RFID Socket board with RS232 / USB interface
The Universal RFID Socket board is the baseboard for the MicroRWD RFID reader modules
from IB Technology.

MicroRWD modules are low-cost, pin compatible and host command compatible Proximity
reader modules for Hitag 1, Hitag S256/2048, Hitag 2, Mifare 1k/4k/Ultralight, ICODE SLI
and EM400X/4102 RFID tags and contactless smart cards. The module solutions only require
a 5v supply and an antenna coil to be fully featured read/write systems with optimised easy to
use host commands. All modules use the same universal 24 pin DIP package so customers can
migrate between different transponder technology with the minimum of design change.

The Universal Socket board provides the
antenna, power supply regulation and RS232 /
USB interfaces to the MicroRWD module
itself. Specifically the board has a 24 pin DIP
socket for the appropriate MicroRWD module
to be plugged into, LEDS for visual status
indication, selectable PCB and coil based
antenna for 13.56MHz and 125kHz operation
and voltage regulation allowing 9-12v DC
power supplies to be used.
The Universal Socket board with the
appropriate MicroRWD module fitted is a
complete “ready-to-use” RFID reader system
and is used in the SDK/Evaluation kit together
with sample tags/cards and CDROM containing
all the data sheets and Windows applications
(executable and C source).

Universal socket board (with 125kHz coil antenna mounted on the underside) was designed to
fit in the Evatron EVA73 plastic case giving the option of a fully enclosed product.
The Universal socket board can be powered directly from a stabilised 5 volt supply, from the
9-12 volt DC connector or from the USB bus. The MicroRWD module itself has a low
average current (approximately 15-20ma) but consumes up to 200ma in a short burst every
polling cycle when the RF is turned on for the brief communication period. The Universal
socket board uses a 470uF capacitor across the supply rails to smooth these current pulses and
so the entire board consumes around 60 ma and can operate directly from a USB bus with no
external power supply.
Universal socket board link options
The board has link options to select the on-board 13.56MHz PCB antenna or the external
125kHz antenna coil and various options for supplying power to the board and interfaces.

Operation of MicroRWD module only with 5 volt external supply
With a MicroRWD module fitted and the 13.56MHz or 125kHz antenna selected, the module
can be powered from an external 5 volt stabilised supply connected to CON J3 or CON J9.
The interface and communication pins can also be accessed directly from CON J9. For this
case the links J2, J4, J5, J7 can be removed to ensure that only the MicroRWD module is
powered and the MAX202 and the USB module (if fitted) are OFF.
Operation of MicroRWD module using RS232 interface
The MicroRWD module can be powered from an external 5 volt stabilised or 9-12 volt unregulated supply (Link J2 set accordingly). For RS232 communication, link J7 should be
closed to power the MAX202 device. A standard RS232 extension cable (straight-through,
pin-to-pin) is used to connect CON J10 to a PC COM port or other host RS232 interface.
Operation of MicroRWD module using USB interface (if fitted)
The MicroRWD module can be connected to and powered from an external USB bus.
To ensure the board consumes minimum power, links J2 and J7 should be removed to
disconnect the MAX202 power and regulator supply. Links J4 and J5 should then be closed
to connect the external USB bus 5 volt supply to the USB module and the MicroRWD itself.
The Universal RFID socket board uses the low-cost FTDI (Future Technology Devices
International Ltd) MM232R “serial to USB converter” module. If not already fitted, the
module can be purchased on-line from http://www.ftdichip.com/
FTDI USB – serial interface module MM232R
The USB module should be connected to the PC USB port using a standard USB connecting
cable. All the Windows applications for the MicroRWD module currently communicate with
the serial COM ports and assume RS232 connection. FTDI provide a VCP (Virtual COM
Port) driver for the MM232R module that allows standard RS232 communication programs to
operate over the USB bus. The VCP drivers for various Operating Systems can be
downloaded from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and installed according to the
supplied instructions (VCP driver file: CDM 2.00.00 or later). With the Universal RFID
board connected to the USB bus, the Windows applications can be run in the usual manner
with a COM port selected higher than the maximum COM port number on the PC being used.
