About this document

Scope and purpose

This document describes the evaluation kit for Infineon’s NGC1081 microcontroller, which supports near-

field communication (NFC). The kit has all the necessary components to enable the user to quickly start sensing

the world via NFC in active and/or passive mode. The required settings for both modes, for programming and

debugging, are covered in this document.

Intended audience

This document aims to help developers make use of the NGC1081 in NFC sensing applications. It can also serve

as a demo for customers when used to sense different parameters at the same time.

Reference board/kit

Product(s) embedded on a PCB with a focus on specific applications and defined use cases that may include

software. PCB and auxiliary circuits are optimized for the requirements of the target application.

Note: Boards do not necessarily meet safety, EMI and quality standards (for example UL, CE).

System and functional description

2System and functional description

The EVAL_NGC1081 has been developed to operate in two different modes. It can operate either in active mode

(by external wired power supply) or passive mode (by harvesting energy from the NFC antenna and without any

external wired power supply). Additionally, there is debugging mode, which is slightly different from active

mode.

2.1 Operating in active mode

As already mentioned, the EVAL_NGC1081 needs external power supply in active mode, between 3.0 V and

3.6 V, precisely.

2.1.1 Steps to power up the board in active mode

First, remove any reader device in the NFC antenna field, to avoid two conflicting power sources, then use one

of the two options below.

•Option 1: plug in a micro-USB and switch the S1 switch on.

The voltage from the micro-USB will then get stepped down internally to the recommended 3.3 V operating

voltage (additionally, please check the jumper connections in Table 3).

•Option 2: switch off the S1 switch, connect a direct 3.3 V to the pins marked with the 3.3 V label, and also

connect the ground to the pins marked with the GND label (additionally, please check the jumper

connections in Table 3).

2.1.3 Potential applications in active mode

Active mode is an option in applications that require long time sensing. In that case, the board will be

programmed via NFC and supplied by an external wired power supply. Data sensed by the board can be read

via NFC at the end.

Potential applications:

•Temperature logger

•Smart thermostat

•CO2logger

•General environment parameter logging

System and functional description

2.2 Operation in passive mode

In passive mode, the EVAL_NGC1081 not only communicates with the reader device (e.g., smartphone), but also

harvests energy from it.

2.2.1 Steps to power up the board in passive mode

•Check jumper connections in Table 4.

•Make sure the capacitor on VCC_CB is soldered (C9 = 1 µF (recommended value)).

•When planning to use the half-bridge, solder C2, C11, or C12 if needed for harvesting energy (as shown in

Figure 2).

2.2.3 Potential applications in passive mode

Sensing the world in passive mode is practical, as it doesn’t require batteries. All you need is a reader device

(e.g., smartphone), which most people have.

Potential applications are usually those that require one-time sensing or one-time motor movement, such as:

•Temperature and humidity sensing

•Tire pressure sensing

•CO2sensingSmart lock applications
