3.8.1 NFCT Antenna Recommendations
The NFCT antenna coil must be connected differential between NFCANT1 and NFCANT2
pins of BlueMod+S42.
Two external capacitors C
tune1/2 connected between the NFCANTx pins and GND should be
used to tune the resonance of the antenna circuit to 13.56 MHz.

3.8.2 Power Back feeding
If the NFC antenna is exposed to a strong NFC field, power back feeding may occur. That
means, current may flow in the opposite direction on the supply due to parasitic diodes and
ESD structures.
If a battery is used that does not tolerate return current, a series diode must be placed between
the battery and the BlueMod+S42 in order to protect the battery. An ultra-low forward voltage
schottky diode should be chosen to keep the battery life reduction as small as possible.
