  • Page 26: Application Information

    The smart card may be either contact or contactless (NFC/RFID) depending on only on its hardware interface, but operated the same way seen from the software interface. As a PC/SC device, the M519 is typically associated to a PC/SC driver and is supported by the computer’s PC/SC stack.
  • Page 27 MODE0=LOW, MODE1=HIGH on reset. 6.1.2.1 When the Smart Reader mode is selected and the host interface is USB, the M519 is a compound device that exposes both the HID keyboard profile and the SpringCore Direct (more on the Direct profile in § 6.1.3 )
  • Page 28 6.1.2.2 Serial When the Smart Reader mode is selected and the host interface is Serial, the M519 sends the data collected from NFC/RFID tags over its serial line, using the protocol selected in configuration register 02A0.
  • Page 29 This protocol also allows an application to have full control over the reader, for advanced Smart Reader operation. In the M519, the Direct protocol is associated to a fail-safe mode: the device bypass all configuration settings that may disable an interface or prevent communication, and disables most power sinks, to help debugging or fine-tuning the system.
  • Page 30: Bootloader, Firmware Upgrade

    6.2 Bootloader, firmware upgrade The M519 features a bootloader that allows to change its firmware. There are two ways to perform the upgrade: in-the-field, over a live system (Live upgrade) or after having explicitly activated the bootloader.
  • Page 31: Reset Configuration And Mode0, Mode1 Pins

    Live upgrade is not possible when the host uses the Serial interface and the configuration does not enforce Direct protocol, fail-safe mode. In this case, the host must explicitly restart the M519 in bootloader mode, and write the new firmware directly in the ROM of the microcontroller through the bootloader.
  • Page 32 You may leave the MODE0 and MODE1 pins unconnected if your application does not need to change the mode. 32/68 SPRINGCARD, the SPRINGCARD logo are registered trademarks of SPRINGCARD SAS.

    7.2 Serial 7.2.1 Overview The serial interface of the M519 is enabled by leaving VBUS unconnected, and by powering the module by the mean of a unique 3.3V supply over both VIN_3V3 and VIN_RF. Asynchronous serial communication takes place over the UART of the module, on pins RX (# 21, host to module) and TX (# 22, module to host).

    (i.e. the distance where the field is strong enough to remotely power the card/tag) is in the same order as its diameter or diagonal. Therefore, the M519 must be associated to an external antenna, specifically designed with all the constraints of the application in mind.

    The M519 can control a variable tuning circuit that can, to some extent, compensate for the mismatch introduced by the environment. The HF_TUNE_1 signal is used to adjust the series capacitance, and the HF_TUNE_2 signal adjusts the parallel capacitance.

    9.1.1 Overview It is possible to connect a smart card directly to the M519, without any physical smart card interface IC, provided that the smart card operates at 3.3V and no ESD protection is required. Use this design to add an SMD secure element to your product with no extra costs.

This make it possible for the M519 to notify the host quickly on any change. The TDA8026 also ensures that the slot is immediately powered off when the SIM/SAM card is being removed, hence avoiding the risk of a short- circuit over the slot contacts.
