Getting started with ST25R3916-DISCO
Introduction
ST25R3916-DISCO is a ready-to-use development kit to evaluate the features and
functionality in reader/writer, peer-to-peer and card emulation modes of the
high-performance NFC universal device ST25R3916
for contactless applications.
The kit is composed of two boards:
MB1
396 (ST25_Discovery_Mboard): a micropro
cessor motherboard, which includes a
complement of hardware and software tools enabling the use the full STM32 Nucleo
ecosystem. The board is powered through USB connectors.
MB1414 (ST25R3916_Discovery_DB): a daughter board, which embeds the ST25R3916
device and an antenna etched on the PCB with its tuning circuit.
The communication link between the two boards is the SPI bus and the processor card
pr
ovides the power. Specific data lines complete the pin connector assignment shared
between cards.
A variety of demonstrations can be performed with this kit, w
hich allows the users to
develop and test their applications.
The MB1396 and the MB1414 boards schematics, BOM, Gerber files, drivers and firmware
ar
e available on the STMicroelectronics website www.st.com.
