1 Document purpose
This document describes the tested functionality and limitations of the firmware PN5190 B2 FW v03.06. It also describes the release summary, release history, known issues, work-arounds, limitations, and recommendations. The functionality and limitations of the hardware and product support material (for example, customer development board and support software) are described in separate documents. PN5190 B2 FW v03.06 is identical in features and functionality with PN5190 B1 FW v02.0B except for the firmware update (HDLL commands) which was updated for a crypto-assisted download to achieve higher security. PN5190 B2 uses crypto-assisted download mode commands, where the opcodes are different compared with PN5190 B1 which uses the legacy download mode commands. The user manual UM11942 (PN5190 instruction layer) explains the different opcodes used for download mode commands in detail.

4 Version history
This section contains the firmware release version history. The previously released hardware version had been "B1". features compared with "B1". Only the ROM code has been updated for the "B2" IC version. The below table provides the firmware version history including feature updates and issues fixed. the coupling between card and reader is strong enough. 2 Update in firmware to improve robustness during LPCD and Standby power modes. Table 4. Firmware updates from v03.05 to v03.06 Name: LpcdWithAutocollExpiryInterval. Address Offset: 0xCEE Size: 1 Byte. Autocoll option. 1unit - 100 ms. 2 Added a new command CTS_FAST_CONFIGURE (0x2B) which both configures and enables CTS. For Enabling CTS, the Length should be 0x27(including both Configs and Enabling bytes). This command cannot be used for disabling CTS. First fast Init+Configure takes about 50 ms, second time onwards about 50 µs. 3 Added configuration to initialize the pullup/down state of SPI Pads (ATX Pins) in the secure flash init. This feature is disabled by default. Name: EnableHIFPadsReConfig. Address Offset: 0xCEF Size:1 Byte. Description: Enable/Disable reconfiguration of the SPI Pads configuration. Name: SPIPadReConfig. Address Offset: 0xCF0 Size: 4 Bytes. Description: SPI Pads PullUp/Down Configuration. 4 Fixed an issue which prevented exit from the Autocoll in some scenarios when external RF is removed. Values are used in APC TX entries. Table 5. Firmware updates from v03.04 to v03.05 RN00066 All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © 2025 NXP B.V. All rights reserved.
2 Feature implemented LFO timing calibration using frequency meter for higher LPCD pulse interval accuracy. Added new EEPROM setting LFO_TRIM_CALIBRATION ( EEPROM Addr.0xCED). 3 Updated the DPC algorithm for higher control accuracy. 4 Updated command GET_CRC_USER_AREA (Command code: 0x29). Table 6. Firmware updates from v03.03 to v03.04 in some corner case scenarios the DPC has to manage other priority tasks. Table 7. Firmware updates from v03.02 to v03.03 1 Fixed an issue where in increased leakage current in SPI_NSS (ATX_C) during low-power mode operation. Table 8. Firmware updates from v03.01 to v03.02
1 Fixed an issue where in commands UPDATE_RF_CONFIGRUATION and GET_RF_CONFIGURATION
2 Fixed an issue of not-restoring the analog TX settings when switching from reader mode to card mode. 3 Introduced a new EEPROM configuration: ENABLE_ULFO_TRIM_CALIBRATION (0xCEC). measured with frequency meter with Xtal as reference. 4 Deprecated the P2P active communication target mode functionality. Table 9. Firmware updates from v03.00 to v03.01 1 All of the features and functionalities present in PN5190 B1 FW v02.06 is included in this FW version. In a nut-shell, below are incremental features are added in PN5190 B2 v03.00 and PN5190 B1 v02.06.
- Added new command:GET_CRC_USER_AREA[0x29]: This command is used to calculate the CRC for the complete User area including Protocol area. This command helps customer to ensure the integrity of their RF and analog settings by detecting manipulation of this area.
- Modified SOF timing: In this FW version, we have modified the protocol settings of TypeB106 such that it supports SOF timing adjustment. We also provide better results during the EMVCo L1 analog test.

5 Recommendations, known limitations, and precautions
5.1 Known limitations
- With the default FDT settings for ISO18000 (dwFDT_18000_DefVal parameter, which is 1.26 ms),
performance @ -40 °C is reduced when TARI = 18.88 µs. This shall be appropriately adjusted for better performance.
- Randomly, PN5190 FW does not respond to the first REQA from an iPhone 12 Mini phone with HCE Mode
5.2 Recommendations
development board PNEV5190B and 45 mm x 45 mm antenna.
1 ANA_PLL_CTRL_XTAL 0x00 0xC1
2 ANA_PLL_CTRL_XTAL 0x8A 0x13
3 ANA_PLL_CTRL_XTAL 0xEA 0xE8
4 ANA_PLL_CTRL_XTAL 0xA6 0xA6
Table 11. Recommendations for v03.00 and above
5.3 Precautionary notes
- Do not disable the DPC and activate the RF field for IC's connected to antennas matched "Symmetric" (for
overcurrent over a long period might occur.
- PN5190 B1 samples cannot be upgraded with the PN5190 B2 FW.
However, PN5190 B2 samples can be updated with this FW version. PN5190B2HN/C131 contain FW v03.02 (3.2) by default.
- The ULPCD requires a specific power configuration with no DC-DC active and requires modifications to
both the customer development board PNEV5190B EEPROM settings as described in the application notes. RN00066 All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © 2025 NXP B.V. All rights reserved.
