11.3.2 Block diagram
Figure 27 shows the block diagram of the receiver circuitry. The receiving process
includes several steps. First the quadrature demodulation of the carrier signal of
13.56 MHz is done. Several tuning steps in this circuit are possible.
The receiver can also be used as single ended solution. In this case only one side has to
be assembled and the Rcv_RX_single has to be set. In the single ended use case two
receiver pins have to be connected.
Remark: When using the receiver single ended the reading distance will be influenced
because of decreased sensitivity as well as the noise immunity.
The quadrature-demodulator uses two different clocks, Q-clock and I-clock, with a phase
shift of 90
between them. Both resulting baseband signals are amplified, filtered and
forwarded to a correlation circuitry.
11.4 S3C interface / (GPIO0)SigIn-SigOut
Two main blocks are implemented in the CLRC663. A digital circuitry, comprising state
machines, coder and decoder logic and an analog circuitry with the modulator and
antenna drivers, receiver and amplification circuitry. For example, the interface between
these two blocks can be configured in the way, that the interfacing signals may be routed
to the pins (GPIO0)SigIn and SigOut. The most important use of this topology is the active
