NFC Synthesizable Transactor

Overview

Key Features

• Compliant with NFC Specification ISO/IEC 18092, ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 15693 and ECMA 340 standards
• Complete NFC PCD/PICC functionality
• Supports Half Duplex of operations
• Supports all the four data rates
• 106 kbps
• 212 kbps
• 424 kbps
• 848 kbps
• Supports two different kinds of communication modes
• Active communication mode
• Passive communication mode
• Supports both Type A and Type B
• Supports the Multi Activation feature, which allows the Initiator to hold several Targets active simultaneously
• Supports the chaining feature, which allows the Initiator or Target to transmit information that does not fit in a single block, by dividing the information into several blocks
• Supports configurable timing functions
• Guard time
• Frame delay time
• Frame waiting time
• Waiting Time extension
• Supports the following types of error insertion and detection
• Sync error
• DID error
• Length error
• Acknowledgement error
• Invalid command error
• CRC error
• Parity error
• Supports re-transmission of corrupted messages
• Supports to change the parameters(Transfer speed and Frame length) of PCD and PICC after the activation
• Supports glitch insertion and detection
• Supports bus accurate timing and timing checks

Benefits

• Compatible with testbench writing using SmartDV's VIP
