General Description

The EVB90109 is an assembled module that allows evaluating the advantages of the MLX90109
transceiver IC. It will facilitate the starts of RFID applications and can be implemented in a compact
way, with minimum development time, and minimum final system cost. All pins of the MLX90109
reader are available on a DIL socket for easy control with an external microcontroller. Two extra pins
have been added for extended control options on the voltage on the MODU pin.
The EVB90109 can be used as a 125 kHz reader, to read out the load modulation from a transponder. It
can also be used to send information to a transponder using On/Off keying modulation. For fast
protocol which required fast fall time on the reader's antenna, the EVB90109 includes a "Fast decay"
circuit composed of an external transistor and diode in parallel on the antenna. This circuit is
accessible through a digital pin on the DIL-10 connector.

    2. Description 2.1. General explanation The EVB90109 consists of a single chip inductive RFID reader for the 125 kHz frequency range with an external inductance (L) and capacitance (C) connected as a parallel resonant circuit. The antenna voltage amplitude can be set On/Off externally with the digital line MODUR2, which controls a resistive and capacitive network called “Modulation network”...

    2.2. Parallel antenna The parallel antenna of the EVB90109 consists of the inductance (L) of the reader coil and the tune capacitor (C4), which form a resonant system at 125 kHz with a total (inductance and capacitance) antenna impedance of about 1.3kOhms.

    OFF the magnetic field depend on the quality factor (Qant) of the parallel antenna connected to the reader (about 24 periods with the EVB90109). To reduce this fall time, the “fast decay” circuit can be used. Page 5 of 10...
  • Page 6: Fast Decay Circuit

    Very small fall time may be required in fast protocol, to be understood by the transponder in the field. This is why, the EVB90109 include a “fast decay” circuit controlled through the pin FAST_DECAY and composed of the transitstor Q1 and the diode D1.
