摘要:
An NFC-enabled device includes a load modulation communication section providing two or more selectable changes in the load impedance across the antenna terminals. At least one of the two or more selectable changes is dependent on both the transmit data and the concurrently detected strength of a tag reader field coupled to the NFC antenna.
摘要:
An apparatus and method is disclosed to control NFC tag power dissipation. A first NFC device antenna harvests power for operation from a signal from another NFC device as a result of ambient magnetic fields present in the environment. The NFC device is configured with a regulator system in order to control the level of harvested power to prevent damage to the NFC device circuitry. The harvested power levels can exceed the ability of the regulator device to dissipate the additional power resulting in regulator damage or a reduction in the regulator lifetime. The power dissipation of the regulator can be monitored thermally, and the power dissipation controlled by reducing the regulation voltage accordingly. Various systems are presented to establish a cutoff threshold to the regulator power dissipation using thermal regulator feedback and/or antenna current monitoring.
