PN7160_PN7161 Near Field Communication (NFC) controller Rev. 4.0 — 5 September 2024 Product data sheet

1 Introduction

This data sheet describes the PN7160 and PN7161 NFC controllers with NCI interface and integrated firmware. The PN7161 supports all features of PN7160 plus "Enhanced Contactless Polling" (ECP) by Apple (see Ref. [13]). Please note, that the ECP feature is available after formal authorization only. In the following document PN7160 refers to PN7160 and PN7161, otherwise stated. This data sheet requires additional documents for functional chip description and design in. Refer to the references listed in this document for full list of documentation provided by NXP.

2 General description

  • A low PCB footprint and a reduced external Bill of Material
  • An optimized architecture for low-power consumption in different modes (Standby, low-power polling loop)
  • A highly efficient integrated power management unit allowing direct supply from an extended battery supply range (2.8 V to 5.5 V).
  • Support of an external DC-to-DC like NXP PCA941xA (with x = 0, 1 and 2), to provide more output power. PN7160 embeds a new generation RF contactless front-end, supporting various transmission modes according to NFCIP-1 (see Ref. [9]) and NFCIP-2 (see Ref. [11]), ISO/IEC14443 (see Ref. [3]) , ISO/IEC 15693 (see Ref. [10]), MIFARE and FeliCa specifications. This new contactless front-end design brings a major performance step-up with on one hand a higher sensitivity and on the other hand the capability to work in active load modulation communication enabling the support of small antenna form factor. It also allows to provide a higher output power by supplying the transmitter output stage from 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
  • Enhanced Dynamic LMA (DLMA) to optimize and to enhance load modulation amplitude depending on external field strength. It allows higher range communication distance in card mode.
  • Independent LMA phase adjustment by step of 5° for type A, B and F
  • Dynamic power control which allows to make use of the maximum power in reader mode without exceeding the maximum power allowed by the standard in 0 distance.
  • Card mode receiver sensitivity of 20 mV(p-p)
  • Support of single ended receiver
  • 1.3 W output transmitter power Supported transmission modes are listed in Figure 1. For contactless card functionality, the PN7160 can act autonomously if previously configured by the host in such a manner. PICC functionality can be supported without host being turned on.

6 Firmware versions

6.1 Firmware version and model ID retrieval

It is possible to identify a dedicated installed firmware version. In addition, the product versions PN7160 and PN7161 can be differentiated thanks to the model ID.

  • model ID value 0x61 indicates PN7160
  • model ID value 0x71 indicates PN7161 The 9th byte of the CORE_RESET_NTF indicates the model ID. The 10th, 11th, and 12th bytes of the CORE_RESET_NTF indicate the installed FW version. Example: The model ID is retrieved from the CORE_RESET_NTF following CORE_RESET_CMD/RSP sequence (first NCI exchanges when initializing PN7160/PN7161). In the following NCI exchange sequence: >> 20 00 01 00 // CORE_RESET_CMD << 40 00 01 00 // CORE_RESET_RSP << 60 00 09 02 00 20 04 04 71 12 50 05 // CORE_RESET_NTF The 9th byte of the CORE_RESET_NTF indicates the model ID (0x71 in the example above == PN7161) . The 10th, 11th, and 12th bytes od the CORE_RESET_NTF indicate the FW version (0x12, 0x50, 0x05 point to FW version 12.50.05). 6.2 Version 12.50.0E Changes in this version:

both data out and data in synchronized with the same clock signal. the data out on the targets MISO line.

  • Controller In Target Out (MISO) The MISO line is configured as an input in a controller device and as an output in a target device. It is used to transfer data from the target to the controller, with the most significant bit sent first. The MISO line of a target device should be placed in the high impedance state if the target is not selected.

  • Controller Out Target In (MOSI) The MOSI line is configured as an output in a controller device and as an input in a target device. It is used to transfer data from the controller to a target, with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) sent first.
  • Serial Clock (SCK) The serial clock is used to synchronize data movement both in and out of the device through its MOSI and MISO lines. The controller and target devices are capable of exchanging a byte of information during a sequence of eight clock cycles. Since the controller device generates SCK, this line becomes an input on a target device and an output at the controller device.
  • Not Target Select (NSS) The target select input line is used to select a target device. It has to be low prior to data transactions and must stay low of the duration of the transaction. The NSS line on controller side must be tied high. Both controller and target devices must operate with the same timing. The controller device always places data on the MOSI line a half cycle before the clock edge SCK, in order for the target device to latch the data. For more information about the SPI-bus functionality, see Ref. [5].

11.6.2 ISO/IEC 18092, Ecma 340 NFCIP-1 communication modes

  • NFC Initiator: generates RF field at 13.56 MHz and starts the NFCIP-1 communication.
  • NFC Target: responds to NFC Initiator command either in a load modulation scheme in Passive communication mode or using a self-generated and self-modulated RF field for Active communication mode. The NFCIP-1 communication differentiates between Active and Passive communication modes.
  • Active communication mode means both the NFC Initiator and the NFC Target are using their own RF field to transmit data
  • Passive communication mode means that the NFC Target answers to an NFC Initiator command in a load modulation scheme. The NFC Initiator is active in terms of generating the RF field. PN7160 supports the Active Initiator, Active Target, Passive Initiator and Passive Target communication modes at the transfer speeds 106 kbit/s, 212 kbit/s and 424 kbit/s as defined in the NFCIP-1 standard.

18 Soldering of SMD packages

This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 "Surface mount reflow soldering description".

18.1 Introduction to soldering

Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high densities that come with increased miniaturization.

18.2 Wave and reflow soldering

Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:

  • Through-hole components
  • Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also, leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered, due to an increased probability of bridging. The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages, packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable. Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
  • Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
  • Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
  • The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
  • Package placement
  • Inspection and repair
  • Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering

18.3 Wave soldering

Key characteristics in wave soldering are:

  • Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are exposed to the wave
  • Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

18.4 Reflow soldering

Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:

  • Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 38) than a SnPb process, thus reducing the process window
  • Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process window for a mix of large and small components on one board PN7160_PN7161 All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © 2024 NXP B.V. All rights reserved. Product data sheet Rev. 4.0 — 5 September 2024 Document feedback
  • Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with Table 61 and Table 62 Package reflow temperature (°C) Volume (mm3) Package thickness (mm) < 350 ≥ 350 < 2.5 235 220 ≥ 2.5 220 220

Table 61. SnPb eutectic process (from J-STD-020C) Table 62. Lead-free process (from J-STD-020C) Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all times. Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow soldering, see Figure 38. Figure 38.
