9.3 [PN7150-NCI] extension: additional technologies not yet supported by
the NFC FORUM
PN
7150 supports more technologies than currently supported by the NFC FORUM
specifications: P2P Active, ISO15693 VCD and KOVIO Reader.
Furthermore, PN7150 offers an additional proprietary value for the configuration parameter
PF_BIT_RATE, which allows configuring for both 212 kbps & 424 kbps to be polled in NFC-
F in Passive Mode.
Thanks to the RF_DISCOVER_CMD and the PF_BIT_RATE, the DH has full flexibility to
extend the default RF Discovery profile as currently defined in the [NCI] specification. Here
is an example how the DH can enable all technologies available in PN7150, for both Poll
& Listen Mode:
1. The DH sets PF_BIT_RATE to 0x80, such that the PN7150 polls for 212 & 424
kbps in technology F PASSIVE.
CORE_SET_CONFIG_CMD( NbrParam = 0x01,
ID = 0x18,
Length = 0x01,
Val = 0x80 )
2. The DH enables all technologies & modes available in PN7150:
RF_DISCOVER_CMD( 11,
[NFC_A_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_B_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_F_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_15693_PASSIVE_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_KOVIO_POLL_MODE,1],
[NFC_A_ACTIVE_POLL_MODE*,1],
[NFC_A_PASSIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1],
[NFC_B_PASSIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1],
[NFC_F_PASSIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1],
[NFC_A_ACTIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1],
[NFC_F_ACTIVE_LISTEN_MODE,1]
)

CI_DISCOVERY_TYPE_POLL_F_ACTIVE is not allowed, see →4.2.4.

he resulting RF discovery is drawn below (note that KOVIO does not have a specific Poll
Phase, since it is based on a Response only, as described in 6.5):
