NFC Tandem User Manual Rev. 0.2 — 17 August 2018 User manual COMPANY PUBLIC Document information Information Content Keywords NFC, PN7150, NTAG-I2C plus Abstract This user manual describes the design, the use and the software aspects of the NFC Tandem board.
C plus remaining accessible from the host through the I interface. This document first gives an overview of the use cases offered by NFC Tandem. Then it presents the NFC Tandem reference design, providing matching guidelines and pointing to the related software ressources.
The following examples relates to Gateways and Set Top Boxes applications but are of course not exhaustive and could also be applicable to some other applications. Those use cases are shown using NFC Tandem demonstration setup (see Section 2.1 Service configuration...

NFC Tandem User Manual NXP Semiconductors 3.2 Matching guide The NFC Tandem reference design comprised of 2 matching/tuning areas, respectively for PN7150/NTAG I C plus, influencing each other. Figure 3. NFC Tandem matching/tuning 3.2.1 Step 1 - Reader matching • Plug TX1 and TX2 to an NWA/NVA and enable the switching transistors (VBAT = High/3V3/5V) •...
NFC Tandem User Manual NXP Semiconductors Figure 4. NFC Tandem reader matching 3.2.2 Step 2 - Ntag tuning • Disable switching transistors (V_BAT = low/GND) • Place 33pF for C11 & C12 – Outcome will be that resonance frequency will be lower than 13,56MHz –...
NFC Tandem User Manual NXP Semiconductors Figure 5. NFC Tandem Ntag tuning 3.2.3 Step 3 - Re-adjust reader matching • Now the C9 & C10 values defined in Step 1 need to be re-adjusted – Therefore enable reader mode / disable NTAG •...

Figure 7. NFC Tandem board 4.1 Hardware setup In order to run NFC Tandem demonstration, the following hardware pieces are required: ¤ a microSD card of at least 4Gb (2Gb sufficient for Raspberry Pi setup) ¤ and a computer board, either: •...
2. Write the image to µSD card following instructions for Raspberry Pi (see [11]) or UDOO Neo (see [12]) 3. Assemble the NFC Tandem board on the Raspberry Pi or UDOO Neo and insert the µSD card 4. Format* the NTAG I C plus embedded in the Tandem board using ‘NTAG I2C Demo’...
NFC Tandem demo page (previously opened from the NFC phone following previous step). In the NFC Tandem demo page, a button allows to write NDEF information (NDEF Text message simulating an error log) to the NTAG I C plus memory via the I 447202 All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers.
4.4.2 Demo #2 WiFi connection and IoT nodes pairing Pre-requisite: continue right after demo #1. 1. Tap the phone to the NFC Tandem (board still powered on), PN7150 will “push” Wifi credentials to the phone which then gets connected to the WiFi network.
