5.1 ST25R3916
The ST25R3916 is directly connected to the filtered 5 V USB supply. There are additional
supply filtering components placed close to the NFC/HF reader IC.
During layout all decoupling capacitors have been
placed as close as possible to the
ST25R3916 chip.
To demonstrate the capacitive wake-up feature, two
capacitive sensing electrodes are
placed on the PCB.
For SPI cross-connecting another reader PCB, seri
al resistors can be removed and CN100
used.
By default, the SPI is the firmware and hardware access bus. The I2C bus can be used
instea
d by changing J200, J201, J202, J203, J204 and J205.
J206 makes it possible to bypa
ss the internal V

regulators when an output
current higher than 350 mA needs to be supported.
5.2 Antenna and matching network components
This board contains the matching network and the automatic antenna tuning capacitors
based on varicap.
