6.4.2 Receiver Gain and Filter Stages

The first gain and filtering stage has a nominal gain of 15 dB with an adjustable band-pass filter. The band-pass filter has programmable 3-dB corner frequencies between 110 kHz to 450 kHz for the high-pass filter and 570 kHz to 1500 kHz for the low-pass filter. After the band-pass filter, there is another gain-and-filtering stage with a nominal gain of 8 dB and with frequency characteristics identical to the first band-pass stage.

The internal filters are configured automatically depending on the selected ISO communication standard in the ISO Control register (address 0x01). If required, additional fine tuning can be done by writing directly to the RX Special Setting registers (address 0x0A).

Table 6-5 shows the various settings for the receiver analog section. Setting B4, B5, B6, and B7 to 0 results in a band-pass characteristic of 240 kHz to 1.4 MHz, which is appropriate for ISO/IEC 14443 B 106 kbps, ISO/IEC 14443 A and B data rates of 212 kbps and 424 kbps, and FeliCa 424 kbps.

Table 6-5 RX Special Setting Register (0x0A)

Function: Sets the gains and filters directly
Default: 0x40 at POR = H or EN = L, and at each write to the ISO Control register (0x01). When bits B7, B6, B5 and B4 are all zero, the filters are set for ISO/IEC 14443 B (240 kHz to 1.4 MHz).
Bit Name Function Description
B7 C212 Band-pass 110 kHz to 570 kHz Appropriate for 212-kHz subcarrier system (FeliCa)
B6 C424 Band-pass 200 kHz to 900 kHz Appropriate for 424-kHz subcarrier used in ISO/IEC 15693
B5 M848 Band-pass 450 kHz to 1.5 MHz Appropriate for Manchester-coded 848-kHz subcarrier used in ISO/IEC 14443 A and B
B4 hbt Band-pass 100 kHz to 1.5 MHz
Gain reduced for 18 dB		 Appropriate for highest bit rate (848 kbps) used in high-bit-rate ISO/IEC 14443
B3 gd1 00 = Gain reduction 0 dB
01 = Gain reduction for 5 dB
10 = Gain reduction for 10 dB
11 = Gain reduction for 15 dB		 Sets the RX gain reduction and reduces sensitivity
