4.3 Notification when the Trace Mode is enabled
T
he Low Power Card Detector needs to be tuned in each application; it is therefore useful
to get some information from PN7150 so that the Low Power Card Detector can be
appropriately configured.
The Low Power Card Detector can be configured to enable a Trace Mode, where the
following Notification will be sent to the DH by PN7150:

9.5 [PN7150-NCI] extension: EMVCo Profile in Poll & Listen Modes
T
he EMVCo profiles are introduced in PN7150 for EMVCo compliancy. Indeed there are
incompatibilities between the RF Discovery activity as defined in the NFC FORUM and the
RF discovery defined in EMVCo standard.

5.1 EMVCo profile in Poll Mode

.5.1.1 Configuring PN7150 to implement the EMVCo polling loop profile
To be compliant to the EMVCo certification tests, the RF Discovery has to be configured
so that only NFC-A and NFC-B are supported in Poll phase and so that there is no Listen
phase. So the DH has to send the following command:
RF_DISCOVER_CMD( 2,
[NCI_DISCOVERY_TYPE_POLL_A_PASSIVE,1],
[NCI_DISCOVERY_TYPE_POLL_B_PASSIVE,1])
In addition, PN7150 needs to be aware of the fact that it has to behave according to the
EMVCo RF discovery, not according to the NFC FORUM RF discovery based on
[ACTIVITY]. A specific configuration parameter POLL_PROFILE_SEL_CFG (see 10.2.1)
is defined for that purpose, allowing to select the active profile of the RF discovery in Poll
Mode. When this parameter is set to 0x01, PN7150 implements a specific discovery
algorithm, compliant to the EMVCo standard. The target is to ensure that there is one
single card in the field. So PN7150 has to detect any collision inside 1 technology (NFC-A
or NFC-B) or to detect if there are multiple cards based on different technologies (i.e. 1
card in NFC-A and 1 card in NFC-B).
