Application description
1.1
Overview
This application is built around a short range RFID reader PCB developed by
STMicroelectronics. The PCB Gerber files and the user manual "CR14 and CRX14
reference design PCB Gerber files" (UM0672) are available from http://www.st.com.
This board is designed to be connected to a digital host, in this case an STM8S-
DISCOVERY, which manages data transmission and reception through an I2C interface
(see Figure 1).
The tags supported by this application must be based on ST contactless memories
compliant with ISO 14443 part2 type-B standard for the radio-frequency power and signal
interface.
This application has been tested using a tag based on ST SRI2K short range contactless
EEPROM. Refer to application note AN2866 explaining how to design a 13.56 MHz tag
antenna.
