  • Page 24: Package And Assembly Information

    In most PCB designs, many of the parameters of the PCB are already set, such as dielectric thickness and constant, trace conductivity and weight, etc. Usually the only variables that can be easily modified are the style of transmission line, and its dimensions. The most common, and recommended PCB transmission line scheme is to use a microstrip on the top or bottom layer of the PCB, with a ground plane on the layer immediately adjacent as a return path.

  • Page 27: Operating Modes

    5 OPERATING MODES Introduction Hadron R1271C has five operating modes and a startup mode. The transitions between these modes are mini shown in Fig. 5.1: Operating Mode State Diagram. Transitions are shown in two categories: IRI activity and non-IRI activity. IRI activity shows transitions that are caused by commands communicated over IRI. Non-IRI activity shows transitions that are caused by inputs to the part such as WKUP, NRST, and GPIOs, and power supply conditions such as power supply ramps.
  • Page 28: Startup Behavior

    R1271C firmware in the device via IRI communication. It stays in this operating mode as long as mini the WKUP pin is held high, which allows a host to communicate with the CAEN RFID Bootstrap via IRI. When the WKUP pin goes low, firmware execution transitions to the Idle operating mode.
  • Page 29: Iri Interface

    6 IRI INTERFACE The Hadron R1271C uses IRI to enable communications; this is enabled with the IRI Tool Kit. The IRI Tool mini Kit includes documentation, IRI API, and sample C code. The IRI Tool Kit is intended to enable a broad set of host platforms due to its ease of use and portability.
