PN7150 NFC Read Flow Problem

[turgut]

Hello,

When i tried to read NFC tag with our device, i recognized that nfc module (PN7150S) didn't read it properly. NFC can be read with 4 - 5 seconds delay. Then i examined logs of the situation. It can be found from attachment as NFC_ERROR_01.txt. The logs start when we bring the card closer. It can be seen from the log that "NFC_GEN_ERROR_REVT" error code keeps coming for 4-5 seconds. After "Deactivate and Restart RF discovery" log, NFC modules able to read NFC card. This causes us to read NFC tag quite late, not properly and asynchronous.

Sometimes "NFC_GEN_ERROR_REVT" error code keeps coming and nfc module never read. It can be found from attachment as NFC_ERROR_02.txt. What could be the reason for this situation? How can it be resolved? I'm using Android 10 AOSP source code on Qualcomm Sdm660.

Hello @KaiLi 

Ordering number is PN7150B0HN / C11006. Marking on the device is PN71506. 

I'm using NFC Sample Card of NXP. NFC Forum Type 2 Tag is written on the back of the card.

Hello @turgut 

After checking the log file, it looks like the wrong RF setting caused issue, after sending RF_DISCOVER_CMD the target activation failed, and maybe some noise on RF, so could you refer https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN11755.pdf section 5.5 to adjust your setting.

Or you can also share your config file and let us check it.

Hello @KaiLi ,

Thanks for the crucial information. I will check RF settings and RF noise. I attached my configuration file as a text file. On parallel you can check my configuration file.

Hello @turgut 

Sorry for the late reply. It's recommended that you modify the cut-off frequency of RX and test it and the below for your reference.

Hello @turgut 

Another thing needs to confirm with you. Are you sure what you used is PN7150S instead of PN7150X? I don't check any information about PN7150S on NXP system.

Thanks for contacting us and using the NXP products.

Based on your description, could you share with the exact type of the tag? And I try to reproduce your case on my side.
