The interface connector is a 40-pin double row C-antennaonnector located at the
lower edge of the RF/Control board which is shown in the schematic drawing of
Fig.5. Connector pins are gilded. The left end of the bottom row of connector pins is
No. 1. Pin assignment of the connector (CN2) is shown in Fig. 4 and Table 4.
12V :DC input port (for RF power amplifier)
5V :DC input port
GND :Ground port
SI, SO :Serial Data I/O (CMOS 5V)
DA0-7 :Parallel Data I/O (CMOS 5V)
DA0-7 are connected to PG0-7 of DPU IC CXD8680R. In order to
control DA0-7, it is necessary to load other program code to
RF/Control board. (see “Reader/Writer Programmer’s Reference
Manual“)
DB0-7 :Parallel Data I/O (CMOS 5V)
DB0-7 are connected to PH0-7 of DPU IC CXD8680R. In order to
control DB0-7, it is necessary to load other program code to
RF/Control board. (see “Reader/Writer Programmer’s Reference
Manual“)
HS0-3 :Parallel Data I/O (CMOS 5V)
HS0-2 are connected to PF4-6 of DPU IC CXD8680R, and HS3 is
connected to both PF7 and PF2. In order to control HS0-3, it is
necessary to load other program code to RF/Control board. (see
“Reader/Writer Programmer’s Reference Manual“)
Mode :No connection in usual operation.
Only in loading program, high level voltage (5V) shall be applied to
the pin.
• Power
voltage :DC12V (CN2 pin1 and 3)
:DC5V (CN2 pin34 and 36)
voltage allowance : DC12V +4V, -0.5V
:DC5V ±0.5V
current :DC12V ≈ 150mA
:DC5V ≈ 150mA
voltage ripple allowance :100mV (peak-to-peak)
The Reader/Writer can be operated in the voltage range of 5 - 11.5V and the
voltage ripple > 100mV for DC12V, however operating distance cannot be assured in
such condition.
