Features
■ Ready-to-use printed circuit board including
– CR95HF multi-protocol transceiver IC
– 47 x 34 mm 13.56 MHz inductive etched
antenna and tuning components
– SPI or UART connector for communication
with the host
Description
The PLUG-CR95HF-B includes a CR95HF
contactless transceiver, a 47 x 34 mm 13.56 MHz
inductive etched antenna and its associated
tuning components.
The user must connect a host to the board
through the UART or the SPI connector. It allows
PLUG-CR95HF-B
Data brief − production data
to control the 13.56 MHz CR95HF multi-protocol
transceiver IC from the host.
The CR95HF acts as a slave. The host can
configure the transceiver and send SPI or UART
commands.
The PLUG-CR95HF-B board is powered through
the VPS pin.

33?SOLDERBRIDGE
1 Hardware configuration
The PLUG-CR95HF-B daughter board can use either the UART or the SPI as external serial
interface. SS1_0 solder bridge allows to configure the CR95HF to use either the UART or
the SPI serial interface (see Figure 2, and Ta b le 1 ).
Once the solder bridges are configured, the communication mode is automatically enabled
by the CR95HF at power-on.
