1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Axxin Kinetic RFID Reader (Axxin P.N. P002264) is a compact HF RFID reader module
with integrated antenna, crystal and a flexible SPI based interface with external microcontroller.
The module is to be fitted primarily (but not exclusively) into Axxin design products.
The module is based on an industry standard Texas Instruments TRF7960 silicon (fully
integrated, multi-standard HF 13.56MHz, reader system) and supports ISO15693 standard
RFID Tags, optionally ISO14443A and ISO14443B Tags support may be implemented if
required (additional EMC and RF tests and certification may be required in such cases).
The module requires external microcontroller for operation and initialization using simple SPI
and GPIO based interface.
This manual includes a list of Axxin RFID module features, a brief description of the module,
specifications, details on instruction for configuration and integration.
Please note that the module is designed and meant to be used as a standard configuration of
TRF7960 silicon based ‘RFID Front End’ and therefore it’s not the purpose of this manual to
provide a fully comprehensive description of module functionality and features as they are
included in TRF7960 silicon related documentation, which should be used for the purpose of
module integration into equipment.
