memory, MIFARE Ultralight, MIFARE Ultralight C, MIFARE Plus and MIFARE DESFire

products. The CLRC663 supports higher transfer speeds of the MIFARE product family

up to 848 kbit/s in both directions.

The CLRC663 supports layer 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443B reader/writer

communication scheme except anticollision. The anticollision needs to be implemented in

the firmware of the host controller as well as in the upper layers.

The CLRC663 is able to demodulate and decode FeliCa coded signals. The FeliCa

receiver part provides the demodulation and decoding circuitry for FeliCa coded signals.

The CLRC663 handles the FeliCa framing and error detection such as CRC. The

CLRC663 supports FeliCa higher transfer speeds of up to 424 kbit/s in both directions.

The CLRC663 is supporting the P2P passive initiator mode in accordance with ISO/IEC

18092.

The CLRC663 supports the vicinity protocol according to ISO/IEC15693, EPC UID and

ISO/IEC 18000-3 mode 3/ EPC Class-1 HF.

The following host interfaces are supported:

•Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

•Serial UART (similar to RS232 with voltage levels dependent on pin voltage supply)

•I2C-bus interface (two versions are implemented: I2C and I2CL)

The CLRC663 supports the connection of a secure access module (SAM). A dedicated

separate I2C interface is implemented for a connection of the SAM. The SAM can be

8.1 Interrupt controller

The interrupt controller handles the enabling/disabling of interrupt requests. All of the

interrupts can be configured by firmware. Additionally, the firmware has possibilities to

trigger interrupts or clear pending interrupt requests. Two 8-bit interrupt registers IRQ0

and IRQ1 are implemented, accompanied by two 8-bit interrupt enable registers IRQ0En

and IRQ1En. A dedicated functionality of bit 7 to set and clear bits 0 to 6 in this interrupt

controller register is implemented.

The CLRC663 indicates certain events by setting bit IRQ in the register Status1Reg and

additionally, if activated, by pin IRQ. The signal on pin IRQ may be used to interrupt the

host using its interrupt handling capabilities. This allows the implementation of efficient

host software.

Table 4. shows the available interrupt bits, the corresponding source and the condition

for its activation. The interrupt bits Timer0IRQ, Timer1IRQ, Timer2IRQ, Timer3OIRQ, in

underflows.

The TxIRQ bit in register IRQ0 indicates that the transmission is finished. If the state

changes from sending data to transmitting the end of the frame pattern, the transmitter

unit sets the interrupt bit automatically.

The bit RxIRQ in register IRQ0 indicates an interrupt when the end of the received data is

detected.

The bit IdleIRQ in register IRQ0 is set if a command finishes and the content of the

command register changes to idle.

The register WaterLevel defines both - minimum and maximum warning levels - counting

from top and from bottom of the FIFO by a single value.

The bit HiAlertIRQ in register IRQ0 is set to logic 1 if the HiAlert bit is set to logic 1, that

means the FIFO data number has reached the top level as configured by the register

WaterLevel and bit WaterLevelExtBit.

The bit LoAlertIRQ in register IRQ0 is set to logic 1 if the LoAlert bit is set to logic 1, that

means the FIFO data number has reached the bottom level as configured by the register

WaterLevel.

The bit ErrIRQ in register IRQ0 indicates an error detected by the contactless UART

during receive. This is indicated by any bit set to logic 1 in register Error.

The bit LPCDIRQ in register IRQ0 indicates a card detected.

The bit RxSOFIRQ in register IRQ0 indicates a detection of a SOF or a subcarrier by the

contactless UART during receiving.

The bit GlobalIRQ in register IRQ1 indicates an interrupt occurring at any other interrupt

source when enabled.

8.2 Timer module

Timer module overview

The CLRC663 implements five timers. Four timers -Timer0 to Timer3 - have an input

clock that can be configured by register T(x)Control to be 13.56 MHz, 212 kHz, (derived

from the 27.12 MHz quartz) or to be the underflow event of the fifth Timer (Timer4). Each

timer implements a counter register which is 16 bit wide. A reload value for the counter

is defined in a range of 0000h to FFFFh in the registers TxReloadHi and TxReloadLo.

The fifth timer Timer4 is intended to be used as a wake-up timer and is connected to the

internal LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) as input clock source.

The TControl register allows the global start and stop of each of the four timers Timer0

to Timer3. Additionally, this register indicates if one of the timers is running or stopped.

Each of the five timers implements an individual configuration register set defining timer

reload value (e.g. T0ReloadHi, T0ReloadLo), the timer value (e.g. T0CounterValHi,

T0CounterValLo) and the conditions which define start, stop and clockfrequency (e.g.

T0Control).

The external host may use these timers to manage timing relevant tasks. The timer unit

may be used in one of the following configurations:

•Time-out counter

•Watch-dog counter

•Stop watch

•Programmable one-shot timer

•Periodical trigger

The timer unit can be used to measure the time interval between two events or to

indicate that a specific event has occurred after an elapsed time. The timer register

content is modified by the timer unit, which can be used to generate an interrupt to allow

a host to react on this event.

The counter value of the timer is available in the registers T(x)CounterValHi,

T(x)CounterValLo. The content of these registers is decremented at each timer clock.

If the counter value has reached a value of 0000h and the interrupts are enabled for this

specific timer, an interrupt will be generated as soon as the next clock is received.

If enabled, the timer event can be indicated on the pin IRQ (interrupt request). The bit

Timer(x)IRQ can be set and reset by the host controller. Depending on the configuration,

the timer will stop counting at 0000h or restart with the value loaded from registers

T(x)ReloadHi, T(x)ReloadLo.

The counting of the timer is indicated by bit TControl.T(x)Running.

The timer can be started by setting bits TControl.T(x)Running and

TControl.T(x)StartStopNow or stopped by setting the bits TControl.T(x)StartStopNow and

clearing TControl.T(x)Running.

Another possibility to start the timer is to set the bit T(x)Mode.T(x)Start. This can be

useful if dedicated protocol requirements need to be fulfilled.

8.2.1 Timer modes

8.2.1.1 Time-Out- and Watch-Dog-Counter

Having configured the timer by setting register T(x)ReloadValue and starting the counting

of Timer(x) by setting bit TControl.T(x)StartStop and TControl.T(x)Running, the timer unit

decrements the T(x)CounterValue Register beginning with the configured start event. If

the configured stop event occurs before the Timer(x) underflows (e.g. a bit is received

from the card), the timer unit stops (no interrupt is generated).

If no stop event occurs, the timer unit continues to decrement the counter registers until

the content is zero and generates a timer interrupt request at the next clock cycle. This

allows indicating to a host that the event did not occur during the configured time interval.

8.2.1.2 Wake-up timer

The wake-up Timer4 allows to wake-up the system from standby after a predefined time.

The system can be configured in such a way that it is entering the standby mode again in

case no card had been detected.

This functionality can be used to implement a low-power card detection (LPCD). For

the low-power card detection, it is recommended to set T4Control.T4AutoWakeUp

and T4Control.T4AutoRestart, to activate the Timer4 and automatically set the system

in standby. The internal low frequency oscillator (LFO) is then used as input clock

for this Timer4. If a card is detected, the host-communication can be started. If bit

T4Control.T4AutoWakeUp is not set, the CLRC663 will not enter the standby mode again

in case no card is detected but stays fully powered.

8.2.1.3 Stop watch

The elapsed time between a configured start- and stop event may be measured by the

CLRC663 timer unit. By setting the registers T(x)ReloadValueHi, T(x)ReloadValueLo the

timer starts to decrement as soon as activated. If the configured stop event occurs, the

timer stops decrementing. The elapsed time between start and stop event can then be

calculated by the host dependent on the timer interval TTimer:

(1)

If an underflow occurred which can be identified by evaluating the corresponding IRQ bit,

the performed time measurement according to the formula above is not correct.

8.2.1.4 Programmable one-shot timer

The host configures the interrupt and the timer, starts the timer and waits for the interrupt

event on pin IRQ. After the configured time, the interrupt request will be raised.

8.2.1.5 Periodical trigger

If the bit T(x)Control.T(x)AutoRestart is set and the interrupt is activated, an interrupt

request will be indicated periodically after every elapsed timer period.

Len n-Data CRC

Table 10. FeliCa framing and coding

To enable the FeliCa communication a 6 byte preamble (00h, 00h, 00h, 00h, 00h, 00h)

and 2 bytes sync bytes (B2h, 4Dh) are sent to synchronize the receiver.

The following Len byte indicates the length of the sent data bytes plus the LEN byte itself.

The CRC calculation is done according to the FeliCa definitions with the MSB first.

To transmit data on the RF interface, the host controller has to send the Len- and data-

bytes to the CLRC663's FIFO-buffer. The preamble and the sync bytes are generated by

the CLRC663 automatically and must not be written to the FIFO by the host controller.

The CLRC663 performs internally the CRC calculation and adds the result to the data

frame.

8.3.7 ISO/IEC 18092 mode

The CLRC663 supports Passive Initiator Communication mode at the transfer speeds

106 kbit/s, 212 kbit/s and 424 kbit/s as defined in the ISO/IEC 18092 standard.

•Passive communication mode means that the target answers to an initiator command

in a load modulation scheme. The initiator is active in terms of generating the RF field.

•Initiator: generates RF field at 13.56 MHz and starts the ISO/IEC 18092

communication.

•Target: responds to initiator command either in a load modulation scheme in Passive

communication mode or using a self-generated and self-modulated RF field for Active

Communication mode.

8.3.7.1 Passive communication mode

Passive communication mode means that the target answers to an initiator command in

a load modulation scheme. The initiator is active meaning generating the RF field.

8.4 Host interfaces

8.4.1 Host interface configuration

The CLRC663 supports direct interfacing of various hosts as the SPI, I2C, I2CL and

serial UART interface type. The CLRC663 resets its interface and checks the current

host interface type automatically having performed a power-up or resuming from power

down. The CLRC663 identifies the host interface by the means of the logic levels on

the control pins after the Cold Reset Phase. This is done by a combination of fixed

pin connections.The following table shows the possible configurations defined by

IFSEL1,IFSEL0:

Figure 12. Connection to host with SPI

The CLRC663 acts as a slave during the SPI communication. The SPI clock SCK has to

be generated by the master. Data communication from the master to the slave uses the

Line MOSI. Line MISO is used to send data back from the CLRC663 to the master.

A serial peripheral interface (SPI compatible) is supported to enable high-speed

communication to a host. The implemented SPI compatible interface is according to a

standard SPI interface. The SPI compatible interface can handle data speed of up to

10 Mbit/s. In the communication with a host, CLRC663 acts as a slave receiving data

from the external host for register settings and to send and receive data relevant for the

communication on the RF interface.

NSS (Not Slave Select) enables or disables the SPI interface. When NSS is logical high,

the interface is disabled and reset. Between every SPI command, the NSS must go to

logical high to be able to start the next command read or write.

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

On both data lines (MOSI, MISO) each data byte is sent by MSB first. Data on MOSI

line shall be stable on rising edge of the clock line (SCK) and is allowed to change on

falling edge. The same is valid for the MISO line. Data is provided by the CLRC663 on

the falling edge and is stable on the rising edge.The polarity of the clock is low at SPI

idle.

8.4.2.2 Read data

To read out data from the CLRC663 by using the SPI compatible interface, the following

byte order has to be used.

The first byte that is sent defines the mode (LSB bit) and the address.

byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 to n-1 byte n byte n+1

MOSI address 0 address 1 address 2 …….. address n 00h

MISO X data 0 data 1 …….. data n - 1 data n

Table 17. Byte Order for MOSI and MISO

Remark: The Most Significant Bit (MSB) has to be sent first.

8.4.2.3 Write data

To write data to the CLRC663 using the SPI interface, the following byte order has to

be used. It is possible to write more than one byte by sending a single address byte

(see.8.5.2.4).

The first send byte defines both, the mode itself and the address byte.

byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 3 to n-1 byte n byte n + 1

MOSI address 0 data 0 data 1 …….. data n - 1 data n

MISO X X X …….. X X

Table 18. Byte Order for MOSI and MISO

Remark: The Most Significant Bit (MSB) has to be sent first.

8.4.2.4 Address byte

The address byte has to fulfill the following format:

The LSB bit of the first byte defines the used mode. To read data from the CLRC663, the

LSB bit is set to logic 1. To write data to the CLRC663, the LSB bit has to be cleared. The

bits 6 to 0 define the address byte.

NOTE: When writing the sequence [address byte][data0][data1][data2]..., [data0] is

written to address [address byte], [data1] is written to address [address byte + 1] and

[data2] is written to [address byte + 2].

Exception: This auto increment of the address byte is not performed if data is written to

the FIFO address

8.4.3 RS232 interface

8.4.3.1 Selection of the transfer speeds

The internal UART interface is compatible to an RS232 serial interface. The levels

supplied to the pins are between VSS and PVDD. To achieve full compatibility of the

voltage levels to the RS232 specification, an RS232 level shifter is required.

Table 22 describes examples for different transfer speeds and relevant register settings.

The resulting transfer speed error is less than 1.5 % for all described transfer speeds.

The default transfer speed is 115.2 kbit/s.

To change the transfer speed, the host controller has to write a value for the new transfer

speed to the register SerialSpeedReg. The bits BR_T0 and BR_T1 define factors to set

the transfer speed in the SerialSpeedReg.

Table 21 describes the settings of BR_T0 and BR_T1.

8.4.4 I2C-bus interface

8.4.4.1 General

An Inter IC (I2C) bus interface is supported to enable a low cost, low pin count serial bus

interface to the host. The implemented I2C interface is mainly implemented according to

the NXP Semiconductors I2C interface specification, rev. 3.0, June 2007. The CLRC663

can act as a slave receiver or slave transmitter in standard mode, fast mode and fast

mode plus.

The following features defined by the NXP Semiconductors I2C interface specification,

rev. 3.0, June 2007 are not supported:

•The CLRC663 I2C interface does not stretch the clock

•The CLRC663 I2C interface does not support the general call. This means that the

CLRC663 does not support a software reset

•The CLRC663 does not support the I2C device ID

The voltage level on the I2C pins is not allowed to be higher than PVDD.

SDA is a bidirectional line, connected to a positive supply voltage via a pull-up resistor.

Both lines SDA and SCL are set to HIGH level if no data is transmitted. Data on the I2C-

bus can be transferred at data rates of up to 400 kbit/s in fast mode, up to 1 Mbit/s in the

fast mode+.

If the I2C interface is selected, a spike suppression according to the I2C interface

8.4.4.3 I2C START and STOP conditions

To handle the data transfer on the I2C-bus, unique START (S) and STOP (P) conditions

are defined.

A START condition is defined with a HIGH-to-LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL

is HIGH.

A STOP condition is defined with a LOW-to-HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL is

HIGH.

The master always generates the START and STOP conditions. The bus is considered to

be busy after the START condition. The bus is considered to be free again a certain time

after the STOP condition.

The bus stays busy if a repeated START (Sr) is generated instead of a STOP condition.

In this respect, the START (S) and repeated START (Sr) conditions are functionally

identical. Therefore, the S symbol will be used as a generic term to represent both the

START and repeated START (Sr) conditions.

8.4.4.5 I2C Acknowledge

An acknowledge at the end of one data byte is mandatory. The acknowledge-related

clock pulse is generated by the master. The transmitter of data, either master or slave,

releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver shall pull

down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so that it remains stable LOW

during the HIGH period of this clock pulse.

The master can then generate either a STOP (P) condition to stop the transfer, or a

repeated START (Sr) condition to start a new transfer.

A master-receiver shall indicate the end of data to the slave- transmitter by not

generating an acknowledge on the last byte that was clocked out by the slave. The slave-

transmitter shall release the data line to allow the master to generate a STOP (P) or

repeated START (Sr) condition.

8.4.4.6 I2C 7-bit addressing

During the I2C-bus addressing procedure, the first byte after the START condition is used

to determine which slave will be selected by the master.

Alternatively the I2C address can be configured in the EEPROM. Several address

numbers are reserved for this purpose. During device configuration, the designer has to

ensure, that no collision with these reserved addresses in the system is possible. Check

the corresponding I2C specification for a complete list of reserved addresses.

For all CLRC663 devices, the upper 5 bits of the device bus address are reserved by

NXP and set to 01010(bin). The remaining 2 bits (ADR_2, ADR_1) of the slave address

can be freely configured by the customer in order to prevent collisions with other I2C

devices by using the interface pins (refer to Table 16) or the value of the I2C address

8.4.4.7 I2C-register write access

To write data from the host controller via I2C to a specific register of the CLRC663, the

following frame format shall be used.

The read/write bit shall be set to logic 0.

The first byte of a frame indicates the device address according to the I2C rules. The

second byte indicates the register address followed by up to n-data bytes. In case the

address indicates the FIFO, in one frame all n-data bytes are written to the FIFO register

address. This enables for example a fast FIFO access.

8.4.4.8 I2C-register read access

To read out data from a specific register address of the CLRC663, the host controller

shall use the procedure:

First a write access to the specific register address has to be performed as indicated in

the following frame:

The first byte of a frame indicates the device address according to the I2C rules. The

second byte indicates the register address. No data bytes are added.

The read/write bit shall be logic 0.

Having performed this write access, the read access starts. The host sends the device

address of the CLRC663. As an answer to this device address, the CLRC663 responds

with the content of the addressed register. In one frame n-data bytes could be read

using the same register address. The address pointing to the register is incremented

automatically (exception: FIFO register address is not incremented automatically).

This enables a fast transfer of register content. The address pointer is incremented

automatically and data is read from the locations [address], [address+1], [address+2]...

[address+(n-1)]

In order to support a fast FIFO data transfer, the address pointer is not incremented

automatically in case the address is pointing to the FIFO.

The read/write bit shall be set to logic 1.

8.4.4.9 I2CL-bus interface

The CLRC663 provides an additional interface option for connection of a SAM. This

logical interface fulfills the I2C specification, but the rise/fall timings will not be compliant

to the I2C standard. The I2CL interface uses standard I/O pads, and the communication

speed is limited to 5 MBaud. The protocol itself is equivalent to the fast mode protocol of

I2C. The SCL levels are generated by the host in push/pull mode. The RC663 does not

stretch the clock. During the high period of SCL, the status of the line is maintained by a

bus keeper.

The address is 01010xxb, where the last two bits of the address can be defined by the

application. The definition of these bits can be done by two options. With a pin, where

the higher bit is fixed to 0 or the configuration can be defined via EEPROM. Refer to the

EEPROM configuration in Section 8.7.

The pull-up resistor is not required for the I2CL interface. Instead, a on chip buskeeper

is implemented in the CLRC663 for SDA of the I2CL interface. This protocol is intended

to be used for a point-to-point connection of devices over a short distance and does

not support a bus capability.The driver of the pin must force the line to the desired

logic voltage. To avoid that two drivers are pushing, the line at the same time following

regulations must be fulfilled:

SCL: As there is no clock stretching, the SCL is always under control of the Master.

SDA: The SDA line is shared between master and slave. Therefore the master and the

slave must have the control over the own driver enable line of the SDA pin. The following

rules must be followed:

•In the idle phase, the SDA line is driven high by the master

•In the time between start and stop condition, the SDA line is driven by master or slave

when SCL is low. If SCL is high, the SDA line is not driven by any device

•To keep the value on the SDA line a on chip, buskeeper structure is implemented for

the line

8.4.5 SAM interface

8.4.5.1 SAM functionality

The CLRC663 implements a dedicated I2C or SPI interface to integrate a MIFARE SAM

(Secure Access Module) in a very convenient way into applications (e.g. a proximity

reader).

The SAM can be connected to the microcontroller to operate like a cryptographic

coprocessor. For any cryptographic task, the microcontroller requests an operation from

the SAM, receives the answer and sends it over a host interface (e.g. I2C, SPI) interface

to the connected reader IC.

The MIFARE SAM supports an optimized method to integrate the SAM in a very

efficient way to reduce the protocol overhead. In this system configuration, the SAM is

integrated between the microprocessor and the reader IC, connected by one interface

to the reader IC and by another interface to the microcontroller. In this application, the

microcontroller accesses the SAM using the T=1 protocol and the SAM accesses the

reader IC using an I2C interface. The I2C SAM address is always defined by EEPROM

the communication overhead is reduced. In this configuration, a performance boost of up

to 40 % can be achieved for a transaction time.

The MIFARE SAM supports applications using MIFARE product-based cards. For multi-

application purposes, an architecture connecting the microcontroller additionally directly

to the reader IC is recommended. This is possible by connecting the CLRC663 on

one interface (SAM Interface SDA, SCL) with the MIFARE SAM AV2.6 (P5DF081XX/

T1AR1070) and by connecting the microcontroller to the S2C or SPI interface.

8.4.5.2 SAM connection

The CLRC663 provides an interface to connect a SAM dedicated to the CLRC663. Both

interface options of the CLRC663, I2C, I2CL or SPI can be used for this purpose. The

interface option of the SAM itself is configured by a host command sent from the host to

the SAM.

The I2CL interface is intended to be used as connection between two ICs over a short

distance. The protocol fulfills the I2C specification, but does support a single device

connected to the bus only.

The SPI block for SAM connection is identical with the SPI host interface block.

The pins used for the SAM SPI are described in the following table:

8.4.6 Boundary scan interface

The CLRC663 provides a boundary scan interface according to the IEEE 1149.1. This

interface allows testing interconnections without using physical test probes. This is done

by test cells, assigned to each pin, which override the functionality of this pin.

To be able to program the test cells, the following commands are supported:

Table 28. Boundary scan command...continued

The Standard IEEE 1149.1 describes the four basic blocks necessary to use this

interface: Test Access Port (TAP), TAP controller, TAP instruction register, TAP data

8.4.6.1 Interface signals

The boundary scan interface implements a four line interface between the chip and the

environment. There are three Inputs: Test Clock (TCK); Test Mode Select (TMS); Test

Data Input (TDI) and one output Test Data Output (TDO). TCK and TMS are broadcast

signals, TDI to TDO generate a serial line called Scan path.

Advantage of this technique is that independent of the numbers of boundary scan

devices the complete path can be handled with four signal lines.

The signals TCK, TMS are directly connected with the boundary scan controller. Because

these signals are responsible for the mode of the chip, all boundary scan devices in one

scan path will be in the same boundary scan mode.

8.4.6.2 Test Clock (TCK)

The TCK pin is the input clock for the module. If this clock is provided, the test logic

is able to operate independent of any other system clocks. In addition, it ensures that

multiple boundary scan controllers that are daisy-chained together can synchronously

communicate serial test data between components. During normal operation, TCK

is driven by a free-running clock. When necessary, TCK can be stopped at 0 or 1 for

extended periods of time. While TCK is stopped at 0 or 1, the state of the boundary scan

controller does not change and data in the Instruction and Data Registers is not lost.

The internal pull-up resistor on the TCK pin is enabled. This assures that no clocking

occurs if the pin is not driven from an external source.

8.4.6.3 Test Mode Select (TMS)

The TMS pin selects the next state of the boundary scan controller. TMS is sampled on

the rising edge of TCK. Depending on the current boundary scan state and the sampled

value of TMS, the next state is entered. Because the TMS pin is sampled on the rising

edge of TCK, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects the value on TMS to change on the

falling edge of TCK.

Holding TMS high for five consecutive TCK cycles drives the boundary scan controller

state machine to the Test-Logic-Reset state. When the boundary scan controller enters

the Test-Logic-Reset state, the Instruction Register (IR) resets to the default instruction,

IDCODE. Therefore, this sequence can be used as a reset mechanism.

The internal pull-up resistor on the TMS pin is enabled.

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

8.4.6.4 Test Data Input (TDI)

The TDI pin provides a stream of serial information to the IR chain and the DR chains.

TDI is sampled on the rising edge of TCK and, depending on the current TAP state and

the current instruction, presents this data to the proper shift register chain. Because the

TDI pin is sampled on the rising edge of TCK, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects the

value on TDI to change on the falling edge of TCK.

The internal pull-up resistor on the TDI pin is enabled.

8.4.6.5 Test Data Output (TDO)

The TDO pin provides an output stream of serial information from the IR chain or the

DR chains. The value of TDO depends on the current TAP state, the current instruction,

and the data in the chain being accessed. In order to save power when the port is not

being used, the TDO pin is placed in an inactive drive state when not actively shifting out

data. Because TDO can be connected to the TDI of another controller in a daisy-chain

configuration, the IEEE Standard 1149.1 expects the value on TDO to change on the

falling edge of TCK.

8.4.6.6 Data register

According to the IEEE1149.1 standard, there are two types of data register defined:

bypass and boundary scan

The bypass register enable the possibility to bypass a device when part of the scan

path.Serial data is allowed to be transferred through a device from the TDI pin to the

TDO pin without affecting the operation of the device.

The boundary scan register is the scan-chain of the boundary cells. The size of this

8.4.6.7 Boundary scan cell

The boundary scan cell opens the possibility to control a hardware pin independent of its

normal use case. Basically the cell can only do one of the following: control, output and

input.

•data register

•boundary scan structure (number and types of the cells, their function and the

shifting in a new address. With Update-DR, this address is taken over into the actual

At the Capture-DR, the address and the data is taken over from the DR. The data is

copied into the internal register at the given address.

8.5 Buffer

8.5.1 Overview

A 512 × 8-bit FIFO buffer is implemented in the CLRC663. It buffers the input and output

data stream between the host and the internal state machine of the CLRC663. Thus, it

is possible to handle data streams with lengths of up to 512 bytes without taking timing

constraints into account. The FIFO can also be limited to a size of 255 bytes. In this case

all the parameters (FIFO length, Watermark...) require a single byte only for definition. In

case of a 512 byte FIFO length, the definition of this value requires 2 bytes.

8.5.2 Accessing the FIFO buffer

When the μ-Controller starts a command, the CLRC663 may, while the command is in

progress, access the FIFO-buffer according to that command. Physically only one FIFO-

buffer is implemented, which can be used in input and output direction. Therefore the μ-

Controller has to take care, not to access the FIFO buffer in a way that corrupts the FIFO

data.

8.5.3 Controlling the FIFO buffer

Besides writing to and reading from the FIFO buffer, the FIFO-buffer pointers might be

reset by setting the bit FIFOFlush in FIFOControl to 1. Consequently, the FIFOLevel bits

COMPANY PUBLIC 171150 37 / 183

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

are set to logic 0, the actually stored bytes are not accessible any more and the FIFO

buffer can be filled with another 512 bytes (or 255 bytes if the bit FIFOSize is set to 1)

again.

8.5.4 Status Information about the FIFO buffer

The host may obtain the following data about the FIFO-buffers status:

•Number of bytes already stored in the FIFO-buffer. Writing increments, reading

decrements the FIFO level: FIFOLength in register FIFOLength (and FIFOControl

•Warning, that the FIFO-buffer is almost full: HiAlert in register FIFOControl according

to the value of the water level in register WaterLevel (Register 02h bit [2], Register 03h

bit[7:0])

•Warning, that the FIFO-buffer is almost empty: LoAlert in register FIFOControl

according to the value of the water level in register WaterLevel (Register 02h bit [2],

•FIFOOvl bit indicates, that bytes were written to the FIFO buffer although it was already

full: ErrIRQ in register IRQ0.

WaterLevel is one single value defining both HiAlert (counting from the FIFO top) and

LoAlert (counting from the FIFO bottom). The CLRC663 can generate an interrupt signal

if:

•LoAlertIRQEn in register IRQ0En is set to logic 1 it will activate pin IRQ when LoAlert in

the register FIFOControl changes to 1.

•HiAlertIRQEN in register IRQ0En is set to logic 1 it will activate pin IRQ when HiAlert in

the register FIFOControl changes to 1.

The bit HiAlert is set to logic 1 if maximum water level bytes (as set in register

WaterLevel) or less can be stored in the FIFO-buffer. It is generated according to the

following equation:

(2)

The bit LoAlert is set to logic 1 if water level bytes (as set in register WaterLevel) or less

are actually stored in the FIFO-buffer. It is generated according to the following equation:

8.6 Analog interface and contactless UART

8.6.1 General

The integrated contactless UART supports the external host online with framing and

error checking of the protocol requirements up to 848 kbit/s. An external circuit can be

connected to the communication interface pins SIGIN and SIGOUT to modulate and

demodulate the data.

The contactless UART handles the protocol requirements for the communication

schemes in co-operation with the host. The protocol handling itself generates bit- and

byte-oriented framing and handles error detection like Parity and CRC according to the

different contactless communication schemes.

The size, the tuning of the antenna, and the supply voltage of the output drivers have an

impact on the achievable field strength. The operating distance between reader and card

depends additionally on the type of card used.

8.6.2 TX transmitter

The signal delivered on pin TX1 and pin TX2 is the 13.56 MHz carrier modulated by an

envelope signal for energy and data transmission. It can be used to drive an antenna

directly, using a few passive components for matching and filtering, see Section 14. The

signal on TX1 and TX2 can be configured by the register DrvMode, see Section 9.8.1.

The modulation index can be set by the TxAmp.

Following figure shows the general relations during modulation

Note: When changing the continuous carrier amplitude, the residual carrier amplitude

also changes, while the modulation index remains the same.

transmission and the setting of the antenna driver to support the requirements at the

different specified modes and transfer speeds.

8.6.2.1 Overshoot protection

The CLRC663 provides an overshoot protection for 100 % ASK to avoid overshoots

during a PCD communication. Therefore two timers overshoot_t1 and overshoot_t2 can

be used.

During the timer overshoot_t1 runs an amplitude defined by set_cw_amplitude bits is

provided to the output driver. Followed by an amplitude denoted by set_residual_carrier

bits with the duration of overshoot_t2.

8.6.2.2 Bit generator

The default coding of a data stream is done by using the Bit-Generator. It is activated

when the value of TxFrameCon.DCodeType is set to 0000 (bin). The Bit-Generator

encodes the data stream byte-wise and can apply the following encoding steps to each

data byte.

1. Add a start-bit of specified type at beginning of every byte

2. Add a stop-bit and EGT bits of a specified type. The maximum number of EGT bit is 6,

only full bits are supported

3. Add a parity-bit of a specified type

4. TxLastBits (skips a given number of bits at the end of the last byte in a frame)

5. Encrypt data-bit (MIFARE Classic encryption)

It is not possible to skip more than 8 bit of a single byte!

By default, data bytes are always treated LSB first.

8.6.3 Receiver circuitry

8.6.3.1 General

The CLRC663 features a versatile quadrature receiver architecture with fully differential

signal input at RXP and RXN. It can be configured to achieve optimum performance for

reception of various 13.56 MHz based protocols.

For all processing units various adjustments can be made to obtain optimum

performance.

8.6.3.2 Block diagram

The following figure shows the block diagram of the receiver circuitry. The receiving

process includes several steps. First the quadrature demodulation of the carrier signal of

13.56 MHz is done. Several tuning steps in this circuit are possible.

The receiver can also be operated in a single ended mode. In this case, the

Rcv_RX_single bit has to be set. In the single ended mode, the two receiver pins RXP

and RXN need to be connected together and will provide a single ended signal to the

receiver circuitry.

When using the receiver in a single ended mode, the receiver sensitivity is decreased

and the achievable reading distance might be reduced, compared to the fully differential

mode.

Fully differential 0 provide differential signal from differential antenna by

separate rx-coupling branches

Quasi differential 1 connect RXP and RXN together and provide single

Table 32. Configuration for single or differential receiver

The quadrature-demodulator uses two different clocks, Q-clock and I-clock, with a

phase shift of 90° between them. Both resulting baseband signals are amplified, filtered,

digitized and forwarded to a correlation circuitry.

The typical application is intended to implement the Fully differential mode and

will deliver maximum reader/writer distance. The Quasi differential mode can be

used together with dedicated antenna topologies that allow a reduction of matching

components at the cost of overall reading performance.

During low-power card detection the DC levels at the I- and Q-channel mixer outputs

are evaluated. This requires that mixers are directly connected to the ADC. This can be

configured by setting the bit Rx_ADCmode in register Rcv (38h).

8.6.4 Active antenna concept

Two main blocks are implemented in the CLRC663. A digital circuitry, comprising state

machines, coder and decoder logic and an analog circuitry with the modulator and

antenna drivers, receiver and amplification circuitry. For example, the interface between

these two blocks can be configured in the way, that the interfacing signals may be routed

to the pins SIGIN and SIGOUT. The most important use of this topology is the active

antenna concept where the digital and the analog blocks are separated. This opens the

possibility to connect e.g. an additional digital block of another CLRC663 device with a

single analog antenna frontend.

The interface between these two blocks can be configured in the way, that the interfacing

signals may be routed to the pins SIGIN and SIGOUT (see Figure 30).

This topology supports, that some parts of the analog part of the CLRC663 may be

connected to the digital part of another device.

The switch SigOutSel in registerSigOut can be used to measure signals. This is

especially important during the design-in phase or for test purposes to check the

transmitted and received data.

However, the most important use of SIGIN/SIGOUT pins is the active antenna concept.

An external active antenna circuit can be connected to the digital circuit of the CLRC663.

SigOutSel has to be configured in that way that the signal of the internal Miller Coder

is sent to SIGOUT pin (SigOutSel = 4). SigInSel has to be configured to receive

Manchester signal with subcarrier from SIGIN pin (SigInSel = 1).

It is possible, to connect a passive antenna to pins TX1, TX2 and RX (via the appropriate

filter and matching circuit) and at the same time an active antenna to the pins SIGOUT

and SIGIN. In this configuration, two RF-parts may be driven (one after another) by a

single host processor.

8.6.5 Symbol generator

The symbol generator is used to create various protocol symbols. These can be e.g.

SOF or EOF symbols as they are used by the ISO14443 protocols or proprietary protocol

symbols like the CS symbol as used by the ICODE EPC protocol.

Symbols are defined by means of the symbol definition registers and the mode registers.

Four different symbols can be used. Two of them, Symbol0 and Symbol1 have a

maximum pattern length of 16 bit and feature a burst length of up to 256 bits of either

logic "0" or logic "1". The Symbol2 and Symbol3 are limited to 8-bit pattern length and do

not support a burst.

The definition of symbol patterns is done by writing the bit sequence of the pattern to

the appropriate register. The last bit of the pattern to be sent is located at the LSB of

the register. By setting the symbol length in the symbol-length register (TxSym10Len

and TxSym32Len), the definition of the symbol pattern is completed. All other bits at bit-

position higher than the symbol length in the definition register are ignored. (Example:

length of Symbol2 = 5, bit7 and bit6 are ignored, bit5 to bit0 define the symbol pattern,

bit5 is sent first)

Which symbol-pattern is sent can be configured in the TxFrameCon register. Symbol0,

Symbol1 and Symbol2 can be sent before data packets, Symbol1, Symbol2 and Symbol3

can be sent after data packets. Each symbol is defined by a set of registers. Symbols are

configured by a pair of registers. Symbol0 and Symbol1 share the same configuration

and Symbol2 and Symbol3 share the same configuration. The configuration includes

setting of bit-clock- and subcarrier-frequency, as well as selection of the pulse type/length

and the envelope type.

8.7 Memory

8.7.1 Memory overview

The CLRC663 implements three different memories: EEPROM, FIFO and Registers.

At startup, the initialization of the registers which define the behavior of the IC is

performed by an automatic copy of an EEPROM area (read/write EEPROM section1

and section2, register reset) into the registers. The behavior of the CLRC663 can be

changed by executing the command LoadProtocol, which copies a selected default

protocol from the EEPROM (read-only EEPROM section4, register Set Protocol area)

into the registers.

The read/write EEPROM section2 can be used to store any user data or predefined

"LoadRegister" into the internal registers.

The FIFO is used as Input/Out buffer and is able to improve the performance of a system

with limited interface speed.

8.7.2 EEPROM memory organization

The CLRC663 has implemented a EEPROM non-volatile memory with a size of 8

kB.The EEPROM is organized in pages of 64 bytes. One page of 64 bytes can be

programmed at a time. Defined purposes had been assigned to specific memory areas

8.7.3 EEPROM initialization content LoadProtocol

The CLRC663 EEPROM is initialized at production with values which are used to reset

certain registers of the CLRC663 to default settings by copying the EEPROM content

to the registers. Only registers or bits with "read/write" or "dynamic" access rights are

initialized with this default values copied from the EEPROM.

Note that the addresses used for copying reset values from EEPROM to registers are

dependent on the configured protocol and can be changed by the user.

8.8 Clock generation

8.8.1 Crystal oscillator

The clock applied to the CLRC663 acts as time basis for generation of the carrier sent

out at TX and for the quadrature mixer I and Q clock generation as well as for the coder

and decoder of the synchronous system. Therefore stability of the clock frequency is an

important factor for proper performance. To obtain highest performance, clock jitter has to

be as small as possible. This is best achieved by using the internal oscillator buffer with

the recommended circuitry.

8.8.2 IntegerN PLL clock line

The CLRC663 is able to provide a clock with configurable frequency at CLKOUT from

1 MHz to 24 MHz (PLL_Ctrl and PLL_DIV). There it can serve as a clock source to a

microcontroller which avoids the need of a second crystal oscillator in the reader system.

Clock source for the IntegerN-PLL is the 27.12 MHz crystal oscillator.

Two dividers are determining the output frequency. First a feedback integer-N divider

configures the VCO frequency to be N × fin/2 (control signal pll_set_divfb). As supported

Feedback Divider Ratios are 23, 27 and 28, VCO frequencies can be 23 × fin / 2 (312

MHz), 27 × fin / 2 (366 MHz) and 28 × fin / 2 (380 MHz).

The VCO frequency is divided by a factor which is defined by the output divider

(pll_set_divout). The following table shows the accuracy achieved for various frequencies

(integer multiples of 1 MHz and some typical RS232 frequencies) and the divider ratios to

be used. The register bit ClkOutEn enables the clock at CLKOUT pin.

The following formula can be used to calculate the output frequency:

fout = 13.56 MHz × PLLDiv_FB /PLLDiv_Out

Table 45. Divider values for selected frequencies using the integerN PLL

8.8.3 Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO)

The CLRC663 family implements an Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Timer T4 can be

configured to use a clock generated by this LFO as input clock, and can be configured

as wakeup counter. As wakeup counter, the timer T4 allows to wake up the system in

regular time intervals which allows to design a reader that is regularly polling for card

presence or implements a low-power card detection (LPCD).

The LFO is trimmed during chip production to run at 16 kHz. Unless a high accuracy

of the LFO is required by the application, and the device is operated in an environment

with changing ambient temperatures, trimming of the LFO is not required. For a typical

application making use of the LFO for wake-up from power saving mode, the trim value

set during production can be used.

Optional trimming to achieve a higher accuracy of the 16 kHz LFO clock is supported by

a digital state machine which compares LFO-clock to a reference clock generated by the

connected 27.12Mhz crystal. As reference clock frequency for trimming of the LFO, a

13.56 MHz clock (27.12Mhz divided by 2 ) input clock to one of the timers T0,T1,T2 or T3

is used.

One of the timers T0,T1,T2,T3 with an input clock of 13,56 MHz crystal clock is used to

count one clock period of the LFO. For an LFO Clock running at 16KHz this would result

in 848 wakeup timer clocks of timer Tx (T0, T1, T2, T3). Therefrore, the timer count value

Tx at the end of a trimming cycle is expected to be 176 (wakeup timer is counting down:

1023-848=175, +/- 1 tolerance is accepted). The trim cycle is executed once in the T4

timer cycle. Therefore the T4 autoload value shall be bigger than 0x05 to ensure that

one trimming cycle takes place before T4 expires. The Tx timer value is reloaded to 1023

during the start of an Auto trim cycle. This happens every time, once after the T4 timer

underflows.

At the end of each trim cycle, the timer value is checked:

•Timer Tx value < 174: LFO Frequency is too low and the trim value is incremented by 1

on T4 Timer event

•Timer Tx value > 176: LFO Frequency is too high and the trim value is decremented by

1 on T4 Timer event

•Timer Tx value is within 174 and 176: LFO Frequency = 16 KHz and trimming

procedure is stopped

The cycle proceeds until the autotrimm function is stopped (Timer Tx value is within 174

and 176).

In addition, the trimming cycle can be aborted by sending an IDLE Command from the

host to cancel the current command execution. T3 is not allowed to be used in case

T4AutoLPCD is set in parallel. It is not required to configure a TXStart condition with

underflow. The T0/1/2/3 timer will typically not underflow. It may happen if the LPO clock

is very slow, but it is not required to take an action to generate this event.

8.9 Power management

8.9.1 Supply concept

The CLRC663 is supplied by VDD (Supply Voltage), PVDD (Pad Supply) and TVDD

(Transmitter Power Supply). These three voltages are independent from each other.

To connect the CLRC663 to a Microcontroller supplied by 3.3 V, PVDD and VDD shall be

at a level of 3.3 V, TVDD can be in a range from 3.3 V to 5.0 V. A higher supply voltage at

TVDD results in a higher field strength.

Independent of the voltage it is recommended to buffer these supplies with blocking

capacitances close to the terminals of the package. VDD and PVDD are recommended to

be blocked with a capacitor of 100 nF min, TVDD is recommended to be blocked with 2

capacitors, 100 nF parallel to 1.0 μF

AVDD and DVDD are not supplied input pins. They are output pins and shall be

connected to blocking capacitors 470 nF each.

8.9.2 Power reduction mode

8.9.2.1 Power-down

A hard power-down is enabled with HIGH level on pin PDOWN. This turns off the internal

1.8 V voltage regulators for the analog and digital core supply as well as the oscillator.

All digital input buffers are separated from the input pads and clamped internally (except

pin PDOWN itself). The output pins are switched to high impedance. HardPowerDown is

performing a reset of the IC. All registers will be reset, the Fifo will be cleared.

To leave the power-down mode the level at the pin PDOWN as to be set to LOW. This

starts the internal start-up sequence.

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

8.9.2.2 Standby mode

The standby mode is entered immediately after setting the bit PowerDown in the register

Command. All internal current sinks are switched off. Voltage references and voltage

regulators are set into standby mode.

In opposition to the power-down mode, the digital input buffers are not separated by the

input pads and keep their functionality. The digital output pins do not change their state.

During standby mode, all registers values, the FIFO’s content and the configuration itself

keeps its current content.

To leave the standby mode, the bit PowerDown in the register Command is cleared. This

triggers the internal start-up sequence. The reader IC is in full operation mode again

when the internal start-up sequence is finalized.

A value of 55h must be sent to the CLRC663 using the RS232 interface to leave the

standby mode. This is must at RS232, but cannot be used for the I2C/SPI interface. Then

read accesses shall be performed at address 00h until the device returns the content of

this address. The return of the content of address 00h indicates that the device is ready

to receive further commands and the internal start-up sequence is finalized.

8.9.2.3 Modem off mode

When the ModemOff bit in the register Control is set the antenna transmitter and the

receiver are switched off.

To leave the modem off mode, clears the ModemOff bit in the register Control.

8.9.3 Low-Power Card Detection (LPCD)

The low-power card detection is an energy saving mode in which the CLRC663 is not

fully powered permanently.

The LPCD works in two phases. First the standby phase is controlled by the wake-up

counter (WUC), which defines the duration of the standby of the CLRC663. Second

phase is the detection-phase. In this phase, the values of the I and Q channel are

detected and stored in the register map. (LPCD_I_Result, LPCD_Q_Result).This time

period can be handled with Timer3. The value is compared with the min/max values in

the registers (LPCD_IMin, LPCD_IMax; LPCD_QMin, LPCD_QMax). If it exceeds the

limits, an LPCDIRQ is raised.

After the command LPCD the standby of the CLRC663 is activated, if selected.

The wake-up Timer4 can activate the system after a given time. For the LPCD, it is

recommended to set T4AutoWakeUp and T4AutoRestart, to start the timer and then go to

standby. If a card is detected, the communication can be started. If T4AutoWakeUp is not

set, the IC will not enter Standby mode in case no card is detected.

8.9.4 Reset and start-up time

A 10 μs constant high level at the PDOWN pin starts the internal reset procedure.

The following figure shows the internal voltage regulator:

8.10 Command set

8.10.1 General

The behavior is determined by a state machine capable to perform a certain set of

commands. By writing a command-code to the command register, the command is

executed.

Arguments and/or data necessary to process a command, are exchanged via the FIFO

buffer.

•Each command that needs a certain number of arguments will start processing only

when it has received the correct number of arguments via the FIFO buffer.

•The FIFO buffer is not cleared automatically at command start. It is recommended to

write the command arguments and/or the data bytes into the FIFO buffer and start the

command afterwards.

•Each command may be stopped by the host by writing a new command code into the

command register e.g.: the Idle-Command.

8.10.3 Command functionality

8.10.3.1 Idle command

Command (00h);

This command indicates that the CLRC663 is in idle mode. This command is also used to

terminate the actual command.

8.10.3.2 LPCD command

Command (01h);

This command performs a low-power card detection and/or an automatic trimming of

the LFO. After wake-up from standby, the values of the sampled I and Q channels are

compared with the min/max threshold values in the registers. If it exceeds the limits, an

LPCD_IRQ will be raised. After the LPCD command the standby is activated, if selected.

8.10.3.3 Load key command

Command (02h), Parameter1 (key byte1),..., Parameter6 (key byte6);

Loads a MIFARE Classic key (6 bytes) for Authentication from the FIFO into the crypto-

unit.

Abort condition: Less than 6 bytes written to the FIFO.

COMPANY PUBLIC 171150 56 / 183

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

8.10.3.4 MFAuthent command

Command (03h), Parameter1 (Authentication command code 60h or 61h), Parameter2

(block address), Parameter3 (card serial number byte0), Parameter4 (card serial number

byte1), Parameter5 (card serial number byte2), Parameter6 (card serial number byte3);

This command handles the MIFARE Classic authentication in Reader/Writer mode to

ensure a secure communication to any MIFARE classic card.

When the MFAuthent command is active, any FIFO access is blocked. Anyhow if there is

access to the FIFO, the bit WrErr in the Error register is set.

This command terminates automatically when the MIFARE Classic card is authenticated

and the bit MFCrypto1On is set to logic 1.

This command does not terminate automatically, when the card does not answer,

therefore the timer should be initialized to automatic mode. In this case, beside the bit

IdleIRQ the bit TimerIRQ can be used as termination criteria. During authentication

processing the bits RxIRQ and TxIRQ are blocked. The Crypto1On shows if the

authentication was successful. The Crypto1On is always valid.

In case, there is an error during authentication, the bit ProtocolErr in the Error register is

set to logic 1 and the bit Crypto1On in register Status2Reg is set to logic 0.

8.10.3.5 AckReq command

Command (04h);

Performs a Query (Full command must be written into the FIFO); an Ack and a ReqRn

command. All answers to the command will be written into the FIFO. The error flag is

copied after the answer into the FIFO.

This command terminates automatically and the then active state is idle.

8.10.3.6 Receive command

Command (05h);

The CLRC663 activates the receiver path and waits for any data stream to be received,

according to its register settings. The registers must be set before starting this command

according to the used protocol and antenna configuration. The correct settings have to be

chosen before starting the command.

This command terminates automatically when the received data stream ends. This

is indicated either by the end of frame pattern or by the length byte depending on the

selected framing and speed.

Remark: If the bit RxMultiple in the RxModeReg register is set to logic 1, the Receive

command does not terminate automatically. It has to be terminated by activating any

other command in the CommandReg register (see Section 9.17.6).

8.10.3.7 Transmit command

Command (06h); data to transmit

The content of the FIFO is transmitted immediately after starting the command. Before

transmitting the FIFO, all relevant registers have to be set to transmit data.

This command terminates automatically when the FIFO gets empty. It can be terminated

by any other command written to the command register.

8.10.3.8 Transceive command

Command (07h); data to transmit

This command transmits data from FIFO buffer and automatically activates the receiver

after a transmission is finished.

Each transmission process starts by writing the command into CommandReg.

Remark: If the bit RxMultiple in register RxModeReg is set to logic 1, this command will

never leave the receiving state, because the receiving will not be cancelled automatically.

8.10.3.9 WriteE2 command

Command (08h), Parameter1 (addressH), Parameter2 (addressL), Parameter3 (data);

This command writes one byte into the EEPROM. If the FIFO contains no data, the

command will wait until the data is available.

Abort condition: Address-parameter outside of allowed range 0x00 – 0x7F.

8.10.3.10 WriteE2PAGE command

Command (09h), Parameter1 (page address), Parameter2..63 (data0, data1...data63);

This command writes up to 64 bytes into the EEPROM. The addresses are not allowed

to wrap over a page border. If this is the case, this additional data be ignored and stays

in the fifo. The programming starts after 64 bytes are read from the FIFO or the FIFO is

empty.

Abort condition: Insufficient parameters in FIFO; Page address parameter outside of

range 0x00 – 0x7F.

8.10.3.11 ReadE2 command

Command (0Ah), Parameter1 (addressH), Parameter2 (addressL), Parameter3 (length);

Reads up to 256 bytes from the EEPROM to the FIFO. If a read operation exceeds the

address 1FFFh, the read operation continues from address 0000h.

Abort condition: Insufficient parameter in FIFO; Address parameter outside of range.

8.10.3.12 LoadReg command

Command (0Ch), Parameter1 (EEPROM addressH),Parameter2 (EEPROM addressL),

Parameter3 (RegAdr), Parameter4 (number);

Read a defined number of bytes from the EEPROM and copies the value into the

Abort condition: Insufficient parameter in FIFO; Address parameter outside of range.

9 CLRC663 registers

9.1 Register bit behavior

Depending on the functionality of a register, the access conditions to the register can

vary. In principle, bits with same behavior are grouped in common registers. The access

conditions are described in the table below:

Abbreviation Behavior Description

r/w read and write These bits can be written and read via the host interface. Since

they are used only for control purposes, the content is not

influenced by the state machines but can be read by internal

state machines.

dy dynamic These bits can be written and read via the host interface. They

can also be written automatically by internal state machines, for

example Command register changes its value automatically after

the execution of the command.

r read only These register bits indicate hold values which are determined by

internal states only.

w write only Reading these register bits always returns zero.

RFU - These bits are reserved for future use and must not be changed.

In case of a required write access, it is recommended to write a

logic 0.

9.5 Interrupt configuration registers

The Registers IRQ0 register and IRQ1 register implement a special functionality to avoid

the unintended modification of bits.

The mechanism of changing register contents requires the following consideration:

IRQ(x).Set indicates, if a set bit on position 0 to 6 shall be cleared or set. Depending

on the content of IRQ(x).Set, a write of a 1 to positions 0 to 6 either clears or sets the

corresponding bit. With this register, the application can modify the interrupt status which

is maintained by the CLRC663.

Bit 7 indicates, if the intended modification is a setting or clearance of a bit. Any 1 written

to a bit position 6...0 will trigger the setting or clearance of this bit as defined by bit 7.

Note: Frames with less than 4 bits of data are automatically discarded and

the RxDecoder stays enabled. Furthermore no RxIRQ is set. The same is

valid for less than 3 bytes, if the EMD suppression is activated

Note: MinFrameErr is automatically cleared at the start of a receive or

transceive command. In case of a transceive command, it is cleared at the

start of the receiving phase ("Wait for data" state)

receiving phase ("Wait for data" state).

Note: If a collision is part of the defined EOF symbol, CollDet is not set to 1.

1 ProtErr A protocol error has occurred. A protocol error can be a wrong stop bit,

a missing or wrong ISO/IEC14443B EOF or SOF or a wrong number of

received data bytes. When a protocol error is detected, data reception is

stopped.

Note: ProtErr is automatically cleared at start of a receive or transceive

command. In case of a transceive command, it is cleared at the start of the

receiving phase ("Wait for data" state).

Note: When a protocol error occurs the last received data byte is not written

into the FIFO.

0 IntegErr A data integrity error has been detected. Possible cause can be a wrong

parity or a wrong CRC. In case of a data integrity error the reception is

continued.

Note: IntegErr is automatically cleared at start of a Receive or Transceive

command. In case of a Transceive command, it is cleared at the start of the

receiving phase ("Wait for data" state).

Note: If the NoColl bit is set, also a collision is setting the IntegErr.

5 T4AutoTrimm If set to one, the timer activates an LFO trimming procedure when it

underflows. For the T4AutoTrimm function, at least one timer (T0 to

T3) has to be configured properly for trimming (T3 is not allowed if

T4AutoLPCD is set in parallel).

4 T4AutoLPCD If set to one, the timer activates a low-power card detection

sequence. If a card is detected an interrupt request is raised and

the system remains active if enabled. If no card is detected the

CLRC663 enters the Power down mode if enabled. The timer is

automatically restarted (no gap). Timer 3 is used to specify the time

where the RF field is enabled to check if a card is present. Therefore

you may not use Timer 3 for T4AutoTrimm in parallel.

an underflow. This bit has to be set if the IC should enter the Power

down mode after T4AutoTrimm and/or T4AutoLPCD is finished and

no card has been detected. If the IC should stay active after one of

these procedures, this bit has to be set to 0.

9.13.1 SerialSpeed

This register allows setting speed of the RS232 interface. The default speed is set to

115.2 kbit/s. The transmission speed of the interface can be changed by modifying

the entries for BR_T0 and BR_T1. The transfer speed can be calculated by using the

following formulas:

BR_T0 = 0: transfer speed = 27.12 MHz / (BR_T1 + 1)

BR_T0 > 0: transfer speed = 27.12 MHz / (BR_T1 + 33) / 2^(BR_T0 - 1)

The framing is implemented with 1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. A parity bit is not

used. Transfer speeds above 1228.8 kbit/s are not supported.

7 Framestep If set to 1, at every start of transmission, each byte of data is sent

in a separate frame. SOF and EOF are appended to the data byte

according to the framing settings. After one byte is transmitted, the

TxEncoder waits for a new start trigger to continue with the next byte

(trigger is generated automatically). If set to 0, transmission is done

in the used way, where after a start trigger all data bytes are sent and

the framing is done for the complete data stream only once.

Figure 36. Typical application antenna circuit diagram

14.1 Antenna design description

The matching circuit for the antenna consists of an EMC low pass filter (L0 and C0), a

matching circuitry (C1 and C2), and a receiving circuits (R1 = R3, R2 = R4, C3 = C5

and C4 = C6;), and the antenna itself. The receiving circuit component values need to

be designed for operation with the CLRC663. A re-use of dedicated antenna designs

done for other products without adaptation of component values will result in degraded

performance.

14.1.1 EMC low pass filter

The MIFARE product-based system operates at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. This

frequency is derived from a quartz oscillator to clock the CLRC663 and is also the

basis for driving the antenna with the 13.56 MHz energy carrier. This will not only

cause emitted power at 13.56 MHz but will also emit power at higher harmonics. The

international EMC regulations define the amplitude of the emitted power in a broad

frequency range. Thus, an appropriate filtering of the output signal is necessary to fulfill

these regulations.

Remark: The PCB layout has a major influence on the overall performance of the filter.

COMPANY PUBLIC 171150 127 / 183

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

14.1.2 Antenna matching

Due to the impedance transformation of the given low pass filter, the antenna coil has to

be matched to a certain impedance. The matching elements C1 and C2 can be estimated

and have to be fine-tuned depending on the design of the antenna coil.

The correct impedance matching is important to provide the optimum performance.

The overall quality factor has to be considered to guarantee a proper ISO/IEC 14443

communication scheme. Environmental influences have to be considered as well as

common EMC design rules.

For details, refer to the NXP application notes.

14.1.3 Receiving circuit

The internal receiving concept of the CLRC663 makes use both side-bands of the

subcarrier load modulation of the card response via a differential receiving concept (RXP,

RXN). No external filtering is required.

It is recommended using the internally generated VMID potential as the input potential

of pin RX. This DC voltage level of VMID has to be coupled to the Rx-pins via R2 and

R4. To provide a stable DC reference voltage capacitances C4, C6 has to be connected

between VMID and ground. Refer to Figure 36.

Considering the (AC) voltage limits at the Rx-pins the AC voltage divider of R1 + C3 and

R2 as well as R3 + C5 and R4 has to be designed. Depending on the antenna coil design

and the impedance matching, the voltage at the antenna coil varies from antenna design

to antenna design. Therefore the recommended way to design the receiving circuit is to

use the given values for R1(= R3), R2 (= R4), and C3 (= C5) from the above mentioned

application note, and adjust the voltage at the RX-pins by varying R1(= R3) within the

given limits.

Remark: R2 and R4 are AC-wise connected to ground (via C4 and C6).

14.1.4 Antenna coil

The precise calculation of the antenna coils’ inductance is not practicable but the

inductance can be estimated using the following formula. We recommend designing an

antenna either with a circular or rectangular shape.

(4)

•I1 - Length in cm of one turn of the conductor loop

•D1 - Diameter of the wire or width of the PCB conductor respectively

•K - Antenna shape factor (K = 1.07 for circular antennas and K = 1.47 for square

antennas)

•L1 - Inductance in nH

•N1 - Number of turns

•Ln: Natural logarithm function

The actual values of the antenna inductance, resistance, and capacitance at 13.56

MHz depend on various parameters such as:

NXP Semiconductors CLRC663

High performance multi-protocol NFC frontend CLRC663 and CLRC663 plus

•antenna construction (Type of PCB)

•thickness of conductor

•distance between the windings

•shielding layer

•metal or ferrite in the near environment

Therefore a measurement of those parameters under real life conditions, or at least a

rough measurement and a tuning procedure are highly recommended to guarantee a

reasonable performance. For details, refer to the above mentioned application notes.

19.1 LoadProtocol command register initialization

The RF configuration is loaded with the command Load Protocol. The tables below

show the register configuration as performed by this command for each of the protocols.

Antenna specific configurations are not covered by this register settings.

The CLRC66301 and CLRC66302 is not initialized for any antenna configuration. For this

product the antenna configuration needs to be done by firmware.

The CLRC66303 antenna configuration in the user EEPROM is described in the chapter

Section 19.2.

19.2 CLRC66303 EEPROM configuration

The CLRC66303 user EEPROM had been initalized with useful values for configuration

of the chip using a typical 65x65mm antenna. These values stored in EEPROM can be

used to configure the CLRC66303 with the command LoadReg.Typically, some of this

entries will be required to be modified compared to the preset values to achieve the best

RF performance for a specific antenna.

The registers 0x28...0x39 are relevant for configuration of the Antenna. For each

supported protocol, a dedicated preset configuration is available. To ensure compatibility

between products of the CLRC663 family, all products of the family use the same

default settings which are initialized in EEPROM, even if some of this protocols are not

supported by the product family member and cannot be used.

Alternatively, the registers can be initialized by individual register write commands.
