AS3956 − Detailed Description

Silent Mode

Silent mode enables detection of the power status of a circuit

whose supply (Vdd) is connected to VP_IO pin. If this mode is

enabled and the voltage measured on pin VP_IO is below the

configured threshold value, the RF part of AS3956 will be

disabled, and the IC will not be responsive to incoming

commands. Silent mode settings can be performed by using

Configuration Byte IC_CFG0.

This feature overcomes a potentially inconsistent behavior in a

battery powered system, where a passive NFC tag can always

communicate with a NFC device, also in case the battery is not

sufficiently charged to supply the rest of the system. A typical

example is when the NFC tag is used for Bluetooth pairing:

AS3956 would trigger a pairing procedure only in case the

system is fully operational by monitoring the supply voltage.

Memory Protection

AS3956 internal memory can be protected from unauthorized

access by enabling password authentication. A 32-bit password

can be set to protect the full user memory, or part of it, to allow

the creation of a public data and a private data area. Password

protection can be applied for read and write accesses.

Password authentication is performed through a standard

WRITE command to the Authentication Password block. A

maximum of 7 negative attempts are permitted before the chip

is locked. Once authenticated, the user can modify the

password.

Password protection applies to RF communication only.

Further information on how to handle password authentication

can be found in Authentication Password, Configuration Byte

AUTH_CFG, Configuration Byte AUTH_CNT and Configuration

Byte AUTH_LIM.

Passive Wake-Up

AS3956 is able to operate NFC tag operations standalone and

fully powered by the RF field. The connected MCU can remain

in standby/sleep mode as long as its intervention is not required

by the application, in order to save power. AS3956 can be

configured to notify the MCU through a wake-up interrupt.

A number of triggering events can be selected, e.g.:

• Power up

• SELECTED state entered

• Reception of SLP_REQ command

• NFC device has updated memory content
