4.2 Configuration of the Technology Detection Activity when the LPCD has
detected an "object"
A
s described in the previous chapter, once the PN7150 detects a change in the antenna
impedance, it performs a Technology Detection as defined in [ACTIVITY] which tries to
activate the “object” by sending Request Commands from the different technologies
configured for the RF Discovery.
In order to improve the likelihood to catch such a Card/Tag, the PN7150 comes with a retry
mechanism which performs several Technology Detection polling cycles before it switches
back to LPCD.
During this retry mechanism, a temporary period is used, called TechDet_PERIOD. This
is specified in steps of 10ms. The number of the retry cycles can also be configured thanks
to the TechDet_NBR_RETRIES parameter.
