  • Page 7: Ez430-Tms37157 Overview

    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.
  • Page 8: Developing With Ez430-Tms37157

    The eZ430-TMS37157 can be used as a stand-alone development tool. Additionally, the eZ430-TMS37157 target board also may be detached from the debugging interface and integrated into another design. The target board features an MSP430F2274 and most of its pins are easily accessible.

    2274 to PC), slave out/master in when in SPI mode 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.
