Fig. 3.2: BSL sequence The BSL program execution starts when TST pin has received a minimum of two positive transitions and if TST is high while /RST rises from low to high. BSL_SEL shall be at high level before BSL starts. Pulses length and distance between edges of all signals shall be 10ms at least. -
Page 11: Reset Pin
Each of the UART interfaces signals at 3.3 V relative to GND. The specific VIH, VIL, VOH and VOL specifications may be found in the § Device Input and Output Specifications paragraph page 15. The TX pins are driven strong high and low with a sink/source current of about 8 mA. If the load on a pin draws more than the 8 mA sink and source current, the pin is not guaranteed to meet the VOH and VOL specs listed in §... -
Page 12: Wakeup Pin
Wakeup Pin The WKUP pin is used to wake the device when it is in the Standby or Sleep operating modes. This pin is edge sensitive and will wake the device on a rising edge. The WKUP pin must be logic low in order for the device to re-enter Idle mode after a Sleep wakeup, so it should only be pulsed high to wake up the part. -

4 LAYOUT AND COMPONENTS Introduction This section describes hardware aspects of embedded RAIN RFID readers based on the Lepton R7100C. PCB Layout for RF 50 Ohm Characteristic Impedance As discussed in paragraph RF Connection page 10, a properly matched RF connection is critical to achieving high performance with Lepton R7100C. -
Page 18: 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. -
