Power Output Select Value ST25R3911B

[GDeto]

Hello Everybody,

Is it possible to control the Power Output of the ST25R3911B?

I am looking options to control the Power Output Programmatically ( Command Send, Register Value Other, I cannot find much information on the Dynamic Power Output DPO ) or by changing the Input Voltage from 5V - 2.4V

What would be a fair range that we could achieve?

Kind Regards.

Ok, found in the datasheet register 27h RFO Normal Level Definition Register

"It is also possible to switch off certain segments when driving the non-modulated level to reduce the amplitude of the signal on the antenna and/or to reduce the antenna Q factor without making any hardware changes" pg. 15 of DS11793 Rev 4

Thank you.

​Hello,

Your finding is absolutly right.

Please also have a look at the appnote AN4974 Antenna matching for ST25R3911B/ST25R391x devices, chapter 3.1 Reader output power. According to the appnote you have 3 posibillities to adjust the output power. If you don't want to change the matching network, you change the driver output resistance or change the VSP_RF regulator setting.

If you are using the ST25R3911B Disco board, you could use AAT to switch to a higher matching impedance. Therefore please have a look at appnote

AN4914 Automatic Antenna Tuning (AAT) of ST25R3911B/ST25R391x devices Figure 2 to 10.

Depending on component tolerances trim value 7 or 8 should be the default.
