1 eZ430-TMS37157 Overview
The eZ430-TMS37157 is a complete USB-based MSP430 wireless development tool providing the hardware and software to evaluate the MSP430F2274 microcontroller and the TMS37157 passive low-frequency interface (PaLFI) RFID transponder.
The eZ430-TMS37157 uses Code Composer Essentials (CCE) or IAR Embedded Workbench Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to write, download, and debug an application. The debugger is unobtrusive, allowing the user to run an application at full speed with both hardware breakpoints and single stepping available while consuming no extra hardware resources.
The eZ430-TMS37157 target board is an out-of-the box wireless system that may be used with the USB debugging interface, as a stand-alone system with or without external sensors, or may be incorporated into an existing design.
The new USB debugging interface enables the eZ430-TMS37157 to remotely send and receive data from a PC using the MSP430 application UART.
eZ430-TMS37157 features:
• USB debugging and programming interface featuring a driverless installation and application backchannel
• 14 available development pins
• Highly integrated, ultra-low-power MSP430 MCU with 16-MHz performance
• Two general-purpose digital I/O pins connected to green and red LEDs for visual feedback
• Interruptible push button for user feedback

3 RFID Principles
Texas Instruments low-frequency RFID operates at a frequency of 134.2 kHz. A normal RFID system is completely passive—the RFID Reader (the reader is a transceiver but is called only RFID Reader in this document) sends a command to a RFID transponder, and the transponder answers, normally with its serial number. The transponder is not connected to a battery; it is completely powered out of the RF field supplied by the RFID Reader.
The TMS37157 extends this function by a 3 -wire SPI Interface to the MSP430. The TMS37157 is a semi-active transponder. Its memory can be written through the RF interface (normal transponder function) without need for a battery or through the SPI interface from a connected microcontroller. It offers additional functions like a battery check and a battery charge; also it is able to transmit received data from the RF interface directly to the connected microcontroller.
For ultra-low-power consumption, the TMS37157 offers the possibility to completely switch off the microcontroller (if powered from VBATI) resulting in an overall power consumption of typically 60 nA. The eZ430-TMS37157 does not cover this function. The MSP430 is directly connected to the battery.

8.1.2 SPI Access to MSP430 Mode
This mode (see Figure 16, field B) perform an MSP Access Command to the TMS37157. The RFID base station sends data to the TMS37157, which is forwarded to the MSP430 via the SPI interface. The MSP430 performs a certain action, depending on to the received instruction and sends back the response data to TMS37157 via the SPI and to the base station via the RF interface.
For the button "Flash LED (with battery)":
• The target board must be connected battery board and JP1 must be set. This drives the MSP430 from the battery.
• Choose which LED (green or red) should flash and enter the number of times the LED should flash. A click on the button performs the desired action.
For the button "Flash LED (without battery)":
• The target board must be disconnected from the battery board. The MSP430 is supplied from the induced voltage of the magnetic field generated by the base station.
• Choose which LED (green or red) should flash and enter the number of times the LED should flash. Click on Flash LED (without battery) to perform the desired action. The TMS37157 target board must be within the operating field of the base station (2 to 3 cm).

resonance circuit is detuned. Trimming is needed to tune the resonance to the optimum frequency for best performance. Trimming is done by internal resonance capacitors connected in parallel to the antenna, which can be switched on and off .
The trimming of the TMS37157 target board is done by the MSP430 via the SPI interface. The trimming procedure is implemented in the MSP430 firmware. For more details see Section 9.6.

9.3 Demo 3: Check Battery Level Mode
This demo shows how the battery level status on the TMS37157 board can be checked. High and low level thresholds are set in the TMS37157 device, and voltages between the thresholds are considered medium level.
• Battery voltage > 2.9 V → High voltage level
• Battery voltage < 2.1 V → Low voltage level
• Battery voltage 2.1 V <> 2.9 V → Medium voltage level
To run this demo:
1. Connect the jumper on the battery board
2. Press the Check Battery button. The TMS37157 measures the battery voltage without invoking the MSP430.
3. The color code of the field on the right side represents the battery status:

9.6 Demo 6: Trimming the TMS37157 Target Board
This demo shows how to trim the TMS37157 target board, which is required if a different antenna is used. The trimming of the TMS37157 target board is done by the MSP430 via the SPI interface. The trimming procedure is implemented in the MSP430 firmware.
To determine if trimming is necessary:
1. In the Direct Access Mode tab, read page 2 (see Figure 29).
2. If the TMS37157 is already trimmed, the content of the Page 2 is 0x01.
Demo Examples
To activate the trimming process:
1. Program Page 2 with the value 00 (see Figure 30).
2. After programming, in the Received Byte field, the content of Page 2 is 00.
3. Connect the new antenna.
4. Connect the battery board to the target board.
5. Set the jumper on the battery board to supply the TMS37157.
6. Press the Push Button on the target board. The green and red LEDs turn on.
7. Wait while the red LED turns off and the green LED flashes.
8. Trimming is complete when the green LED turns off.
After the trimming, use the Read Page command to verify that the content of Page 2 is 0x01. The variation of the resonance circuit should be in the range of ±2 kHz and the quality factor of the
antenna should be approximately 60 (see SWRS083).

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V and the output voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are questions
concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power. Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM.
Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
