Page 3: Overview
Overview To get started evaluating the RF430F5978 MCU, system developers can purchase the RF430F5978EVM bundle. This bundle helps users evaluate the key features of RF430F5978 MCU: 3D LF wake-up and trigger function, passive battery-less transponder operation, and resonant trimming. -
Page 4: Rf430F5978 Demo Kit Overview
In a typical sequence, the MRD2EVM LF transmitter sends a 64-bit wake pattern and, as soon as the RF430F5978EVM board is within the supply range (typically 2 m with the components in this kit but can reach up to 10 m with an LF power transmitter) and detects a valid wake pattern, then activates the microcontroller. - Page 5 LF ANT Trimming LF Antenna Trimming function Test Hardware Function test AES Transponder AES Transponder function User Terminal About Software version and User Guide of RF430F5978EVM Tab 4 Tab 5 Tab 3 Tab 2 Tab 1 Figure 3.

Page 11: Using The Lf Wake-Up Mode With Uhf Response
Using the LF Wake-Up Mode With UHF Response The following steps show how to enable complete (bidirectional) LF communication, which means that the MRD2 can send an LF wake pattern and can then receive the UHF response of the RF430F5978EVM module that receives the wake-up signal (see Figure 10). -
