NHS3100 NFC Wake up after DeepPowerDown Mode

SnoZek — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 12:07:44 GMT

Hello,

I'm working on the NHS3100SENSORBOARD.

I was trying a simple program : I write an NDEF message in the shared NFC memory. Then i tag the board with a smartphone and read the message. When it's done the nhs3100 go in deepsleep.

It work well but when i replace deep sleep by deep power down mode the nhs look like it wake up when there is an NFC detection but the tag is empty.

My main code :

int main(void)
{
Board_Init();
NDEFT2T_Init();
TempinText();
Chip_GPIO_SetPinDIR(NSS_GPIO_BASE,NSS_IOCON,IOCON_PIO0_8,true);
for (;;)
{
if (sFieldPresent)
{
GenerateNdef_TextMime();
}

while(sFieldPresent)
{

}
Chip_PMU_PowerMode_EnterDeepPowerDown(true);
}
return 0;
}

I would be grateful if someone could help me.

Thanks you for your time,

Yvan

Hi,

With which board library is your project linked to? When working with the NHS3100SENSORBOARD, it should be lib_board_dpahu.

Hi Dries,

Thank you for this questions, i was working with lib_board_dp by mistake, i changed it !

An other question : When i try to put the nhs in DeepPowerDown mode it look like it work because i have a Chip_PMU_PowerMode_GetDPDWakeupReason() in my code and it go in the right loop but when i test current consumption (~15µA) it look like it didn't enter in DPD mode. Is there a simple way to know in which mode was the nhs ? Or if Chip_PMU_PowerMode_GetDPDWakeupReason() return something else than PMU_DPD_WAKEUPREASON_NONE, that's enough ?

Thank you for your time,

BR,

Hi,

The power consumption can be higher if the pull on the pins doesn't match with the pin state.

If, after:

PMU_DPD_WAKEUPREASON_T wakeupReason = Chip_PMU_PowerMode_GetDPDWakeupReason();

wakeupReason is 1, 2 or 3 - i.e. not PMU_DPD_WAKEUPREASON_NONE = 0xFF, you are sure to have left DPD.

Take care not to brick your IC:

* @warning - Once in Deep power down mode, it is no longer possible to start a debug session, hence, special care
* must be taken when calling #Chip_PMU_PowerMode_EnterDeepPowerDown with short "break-in" time between boot and
* the function call. In case Debug build is used, it is possible to introduce a 500ms delay by approaching an
* NFC field before entering Deep power down. This functionality is embedded in the
* #Chip_PMU_PowerMode_EnterDeepPowerDown function and allows starting a debug session in ICs that would otherwise
* never accept a debug connection anymore. See @ref NSS_DEBUG_CONSIDERATIONS for more details.

Kind regards,
Dries.

Hi Dries,

Thank you for thoses informations.

When you said :

The power consumption can be higher if the pull on the pins doesn't match with the pin state.

If i init the board with BoardInit() it shouldn't be well set up ?

An note :

When i wakeup the NHS3100 with the pushbutton it is considered as a

PMU_DPD_WAKEUPREASON_NONE

but i guess this is normal.

Hi,

I come back here because i still can't find the reason why it consume more in my program. I use same library of board as app_demon_dpahu_sensormonitor. Does it can come from a bad DeInit before going DPD mode ?

Thanks for your time,

Have a nice day,

Yvan

Hi,

Are you sure the ~15 uA is consumed by the NHS3100 IC? It could be that the other ICs on the board - like the accelerometer - are active and are adding to that figure. Do you still see that consumption when you flash the demo firmware from the NXP SDK?

Best,
Dries.

Hi, thank you for the answer, i resolve my problem of power consumption, i think the other ICs on the board consumed current as you say.
