Tips for triggering i_lim? (NFC WLC)

OSilv.1
Associate II

Hello,

I've changed the impedance matching network on the NFC06A1 such that the system is resonant at 13.56MHz with an impedance of 2.6 ohms. The reader is in 5V mode with the regulator display register measuring 4.3V at VDD_RF. I have set the output resistance to 3.4 ohms.

I expect that it would output 1.6 Arms (4.3 V / 2.6 ohm) or possibly 0.72 Arms (4.3 V / (2.6+3.4) ohms) with the VDD_RF regulator limiting the current to 350Arms. However, the i_lim flag remains zero.

Is there a trouble shooting procedure I should follow for determining why the device will not output more than 350Arms?

Thank you!

Best,

Oliver

Hello Oliver,

can you measure the current consumption of your board in default configuration?

The setup mentioned in AN5584 - Figure 10 could be used to adjust the current on the fly.
