2 General description
PN5180, the best full NFC frontend on the market.
As a highly integrated high performance full NFC Forum-compliant frontend IC for
contactless communication at 13.56 MHz, this frontend IC utilizes an outstanding
modulation and demodulation concept completely integrated for different kinds of
contactless communication methods and protocols.
The PN5180 ensures maximum interoperability for next generation of NFC enabled
mobile phones. The PN5180 is optimized for point of sales terminal applications and
implements a high-power NFC frontend functionality which allows to achieve EMV
compliance on RF level without additional external active components.
The PN5180 frontend IC supports the following RF operating modes:
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443 type A up to 848 kBit/s
• Reader/Writer communication mode for MIFARE Classic contactless IC
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 14443 type B up to 848 kBit/s
• Reader/Writer mode supporting JIS X 6319-4 (comparable with FeliCa scheme)
• Supports reading of all NFC tag types (type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4A and type 4B)
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 15693
• Reader/Writer mode supporting ISO/IEC 18000-3 Mode 3
• ISO/IEC 18092 (NFC-IP1)
• ISO/IEC 21481 (NFC-IP-2)
• ISO/IEC 14443 type A Card emulation up to 848 kBit/s
One host interface based on SPI is implemented:
• SPI interface with data rates up to 7 Mbit/s with MOSI, MISO, NSS and SCK signals
• Interrupt request line to inform host controller on events
• EEPROM configurable pull-up resistor on SPI MISO line
• Busy line to indicate to host availability of data for reading
The PN5180 supports highly innovative and unique features which do not require any
host controller interaction. These unique features include Dynamic Power Control
(DPC), Adaptive Waveform Control (AWC), Adaptive Receiver Control (ARC), and fully
automatic EMD error handling. The independency of real-time host controller interactions
makes this product the best choice for systems which operate a preemptive multi-tasking
OS like Linux or Android.
As new power-saving feature the PN5180 allows using a general-purpose output to
control an external LDO or DC/DC during Low-Power Card Detection. One general-
purpose output is used to wake-up an LDO or DC/DC from power-saving mode before
the RF field for an LPCD polling cycle is switched on.
The PN5180 supports an external silicon system-power-on switch by using the energy
of the RF field generated by an NFC phone to switch on the system, like it is generated
during the NFC polling loop. This unique and new Zero-Power-Wake-up feature allows
designing systems with a power consumption close to zero during standby.

High-performance multi-protocol full NFC frontend, supporting all NFC Forum modes
11 Functional description
11.1 Introduction
The PN5180 is a High-Power NFC frontend. It implements the RF functionality like an
antenna driving and receiver circuitry and all the low-level functionality to realize an
NFC Forum-compliant reader. The PN5180 connects to a host microcontroller with
a SPI interface for configuration, NFC data exchange and high-level NFC protocol
implementation.
The PN5180 allows different supply voltages for NFC drivers, internal supply and host
interface providing a maximum of flexibility.
The chip supply voltage and the NFC driver voltage can be chosen independently from
each other.
The PN5180 uses an external 27.12 MHz crystal as clock source for generating the RF
field and its internal digital logic. In addition, an internal PLL allows using an accurate
external clock source of either 8, 12, 16, 24 MHz. This saves the 27.12 MHz crystal
in systems which implement one of the mentioned clock frequencies (e.g. for USB or
system clock).
Two types of memory are implemented in the PN5180: RAM and EEPROM.
Internal registers of the PN5180 state machine store configuration data. The internal
registers are reset to initial values in case of PowerON, and Hardware-reset and standby.
The RF configuration for dedicated RF protocols is defined by EEPROM data which
is copied by a command issued from the host microcontroller - LOAD_RF_CONFIG-
into the registers of the PN5180. The PN5180 is initialized with EEPROM data for the
LOAD_RF_CONFIG command which has been tested to work well for one typical
antenna. For customer-specific antenna sizes and dedicated antenna environment
conditions like metal or ferrite, the pre-defined EEPROM settings can be modified by the
user. This allows users to achieve the maximum RF performance from a given antenna
design. It is mandatory to use the command LOAD_RF_CONFIG for the selection of a
specific RF protocol.
The command LOAD_RF_CONFIG initializes the registers faster compared to individual
register writes.
11.2 Power-up and Clock
11.2.1 Power Management Unit
11.2.1.1 Supply Connections and Power-up
The Power Management Unit of the PN5180 generates internal supplies required for
operation.
The following pins are used to supply the IC:
• PVDD - supply voltage for the SPI interface and control connections
• VBAT - Supply Voltage input

• First ramp VBAT, PVDD can immediately follow, latest 2 ms after VBAT reaches 1.8 V.
• There is no timing dependency on TVDD, only that TVDD shall rise equal or later to
VBAT.
• VBAT must be equal or higher than PVDD
• TVDD has no other relationship to VBAT or PVDD

After power-up, the PN5180 is indicating the ability to receive command from a host
microcontroller by an IDLE IRQ.
There are configurations in EEPROM, which allow to specify the behavior of the PN5180
after start-up. LPCD (Low-power card detection) and DPC (dynamic power control) are
functionalities which are configurable in EEPROM.
The PN5180 supports full FNC functionality, this means Reader/Writer, Card and Peer to
Peer mode. The default configuration of the PN5180 after power-up is the card mode to
allow a collision avoidance with another RF field.
11.2.1.2 Power-down
A hard power-down is enabled with LOW level on pin RESET_N. This low level puts the
internal voltage regulators for the analog and digital core supply as well as the oscillator
in a low-power state. All digital input buffers are separated from the input pads and
clamped internally (except pin RESET_N itself). IRQ, BUSY, AUX1, AUX2 have an

internal pull down resistor which is activated on RESET_N ==0. All other output pins are
switched to high impedance.
To leave the power-down mode, the level at the pin RESET_N has to be set to HIGH.
This high level starts the internal start-up sequence from Power-Down.
11.2.1.3 Standby
The standby mode is entered immediately after sending the instruction SWITCH_MODE
with standby command. All internal current sinks are set to low-power state.
In opposition to the power-down mode, the digital input buffers are not separated by the
input pads and keep their functionality. The digital output pins do not change their state.
During standby mode, all registers values, the buffer content and the configuration
itself are not kept, exceptions are the registers with addresses 05h(PADCONFIG),
07h(PADOUT) 25h (TEMP_CONTROL). To leave the standby mode, various possibilities
do exist. The conditions for wake-up are configured in the register STBY_CFG.
• Wake-up via Timer
• Wake-up via RF level detector
• Low Level on RESET_N
• PVDD disappears
Any host communication (data is not validated) triggers the internal start-up sequence.
The reader IC is in operation mode when the internal start-up sequence is finalized, and
is indicating this by an IDLE IRQ.
11.2.1.4 Temperature Sensor
The PN5180 implements a configurable temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is
configurable by the TEMP_CONTROL register (25h).
The Temperature Sensor supports temperature settings for 85 °C, 115 °C, 125 °C and
135 °C.
In case the sensed device temperature is higher than configured, a TEMPSENS_ERROR
IRQ is raised. In case of an TEMPSENS_ERROR, the Firmware is switching off the
RF Field. Additionally host can set the device into standby as response to the raised
IRQ. In case the sensed device temperature is higher than the configured, FW is
automatically switching off the RF field in-order to protect the TX drivers and sets the
TEMPSENS_ERROR_IRQ_STAT in the IRQ_STATUS register to 1.
The host can either poll on the TEMPSENS_ERROR_IRQ_STAT or enable the bit
TEMPSENS_ERROR_IRQ_EN in IRQ_ENABLE register to get an interrupt on the IRQ
pin.
In addtion, the host can set the device into standby based on the
TEMPSENS_ERROR_IRQ_STAT.
This feature is enabled by default. Only the interrupt can be enabled / disabled via the
IRQ_ENABLE register
11.2.2 Reset and start-up time
A constant low level of at least 10 μs at the RESET_N pin starts the internal reset
procedure.

When the PN5180 has finished the start_up, a IDLE_IRQ is raised and the IC is ready to
receive commands on the host interface.
11.2.3 Clock concept
The PN5180 is supplied by an 27.12 MHz crystal for operation. In addition, the internal
PLL uses an accurate external clock source of either 8, 12, 16, 24 MHz instead of the
crystal.
The clock applied to the PN5180 provides a time basis for the RF encoder and decoder.
The stability of the clock frequency, is an important factor for correct operation. To obtain
optimum performance, clock jitter must be reduced as much as possible. Optimum
performance is best achieved using the internal oscillator buffer with the recommended
circuitry.
In card emulation mode, the clock is also required.
If an external clock source of 27.12 MHz is used instead of a crystal, the clock signal
must be applied to pin CLK1. In this case, special care must be taken with the clock duty
cycle and clock jitter (see Table 141).
The crystal is a component which is impacting the overall performance of the system.
A high-quality component is recommended here. The resistor RD1 reduces the start-up
time of the crystal. A short start-up time is especially desired in case the Low-Power card
detection is used. The values of these resistors depend on the crystal which is used.

11.3 Timer and Interrupt system
11.3.1 General Purpose Timer
The Timers are used to measure certain intervals between certain configurable events of
the receiver, transmitter and other RF-events. The timer signals its expiration by raising a
flag and the value of the timer may be accessed via the register-set.
Three general-purpose timers T0, T1, and T2 running with the PN5180 clock with
several start conditions, stop conditions, time resolutions, and maximal timer periods are
implemented.

For automatic timeout handling during MIFARE Classic Authentication Timer2 is blocked
during this operation.
In case EMVCo EMD handling is enabled (EMD_CONTROL register (address 0028h), bit
EMD_ENABLE) Timer1 is automatically restarted when an EMD event occurs.
Timers T0 to T2 has a resolution of 20 bits and may be operated at clock frequencies
derived from the 13.56 MHz system clock. Several start events can be configured: start
now, start on external RF-field on/off and start on Rx (receive)/Tx (transmit) started/
ended. The timers allow reload of the counter value. At expiration of the timers, a flag is
raised and an IRQ is triggered.
The clock may be divided by a prescaler for frequencies of:
• 6.78 MHz
• 3.39 MHz
• 1.70 MHz
• 848 kHz
• 424 kHz
• 212 kHz
• 106 kHz
• 53 kHz
11.3.2 Interrupt System
11.3.2.1 IRQ PIN
The IRQ_ENABLE configures, which of the interrupts are routed to the IRQ pin of the
PN5180. All of the interrupts can be enabled and disabled independent from each other.
The IRQ on the pin can either be cleared by writing to the IRQ_CLEAR register or by
reading the IRQ_STATUS register (EEPROM configuration). If not all enabled IRQ’s are
cleared, the IRQ pin remains active.
The polarity of the external IRQ signal is configured by EEPROM in IRQ_PIN_CONFIG
(01Ah).
11.3.2.2 IRQ_STATUS Register
The IRQ_STATUS register contains the status flags. The status flags cannot be disabled.
Status Flag can either be cleared by writing to the IRQ_CLEAR register or when the
IRQ_STATUS register is read (EEPROM configuration)
The PN5180 indicates certain events by setting bits in the register
GENERAL_IRQ_STATUS and additionally, if activated, on the pin IRQ.
LPCD_IRQ, GENERAL_ERROR_IRQ and HV_ERROR_IRQ are non-maskable
interrupts.
11.4 SPI Host Interface
The following description of the SPI host interface is valid for the NFC operation mode.
The Secure Firmware Download mode uses a different physical host interface handling.
Details are described in chapter 12.

PN5180A0xx/C3
High-performance multi-protocol full NFC frontend, supporting all NFC Forum modes
11.4.1 Physical Host Interface
The interface of the PN5180 to a host microcontroller is based on a SPI interface,
extended by signal line BUSY. The maximum SPI speed is 7 Mbps and fixed to CPOL
= 0 and CPHA = 0. Only a half-duplex data transfer is supported. There is no chaining
allowed, meaning that the whole instruction has to be sent or the whole receive buffer
has to be read out. The whole transmit buffer shall be written at once as well. No NSS
assertion is allowed during data transfer.
As the MISO line is per default high-ohmic in case of NSS high, an internal pull-up
resistor can be enabled via EEPROM.
The BUSY signal is used to indicate that the PN5180 is not able to send or receive data
over the SPI interface.
The host interface is designed to support the typical interface supply voltages of 1.8 V
and 3.3 V of CPUs. A dedicated supply input which defines the host interface supply
voltage independent from other supplies is available (PVDD). Only a voltage of 1.8 V or
3.3 V is supported, but no voltage in the range of 1.95 V to 2.7 V.
• Master In Slave Out (MISO)
The MISO line is configured as an output in a slave device. It is used to transfer data
from the slave to the master, with the most significant bit sent first. The MISO signal is
put into 3-state mode when NSS is high.
• Master Out Slave In (MOSI)
The MOSI line is configured as an input in a slave device. It is used to transfer data from
the master to a slave, with the most significant bit sent first.
• Serial Clock (SCK)
The serial clock is used to synchronize data movement both in and out of the device
through its MOSI and MISO lines.
• Not Slave Select (NSS)
The slave select input (NSS) line is used to select a slave device. It shall be set to low
before any data transaction starts and must stay low during the transaction.
• Busy
During frame reception, the BUSY line goes ACTIVE and goes to IDLE when
PN5180 is able to receive a new frame or data is available (depending if SET or
GET frame is issued). If there is a parameter error, the IRQ is set to ACTIVE and a
GENERAL_ERROR_IRQ is set.
Both master and slave devices must operate with the same timing. The master device
always places data on the MOSI line a half cycle before the clock edge SCK, in order for
the slave device to latch the data.
The BUSY line is used to indicate that the system is BUSY and cannot receive any data
from a host. Recommendation for the BUSY line handling by the host:
1. Assert NSS to Low
2. Perform Data Exchange
3. Wait until BUSY is high
4. Deassert NSS
5. Wait until BUSY is low

Remark: To send more bytes in one data stream, the NSS signal must be LOW during
the send process. To send more than one data stream, the NSS signal must be HIGH
between each data stream. Any data available to be read from the SPI interface is
indicated by the BUSY signal de-asserted.
11.4.3 Logical Host Interface
11.4.3.1 Host Interface Command
A Host Interface Command consists of either 1 or 2 SPI frames depending whether the
host wants to write or read data from the PN5180. An SPI Frame consists of multiple
bytes.
The protocol used between the host and the PN5180 uses 1 byte indicating the
instruction code and additional bytes for the payload (instruction-specific data). The
actual payload size depends on the instruction used. The minimum length of the payload
is 1 byte. This provides a constant offset at which message data begins.

Byte 2
Byte N

- Size of payload depends on Instruction
- Minimum payload is 1 byte
aaa-023432
Figure 10.ꢀ Instruction Payload
All commands are packed into one SPI Frame. An SPI Frame consists of multiple bytes.
No NSS toggles allowed during sending of an SPI frame.
For all 4 byte command parameter transfers (e.g. register values), the payload
parameters passed follow the little endian approach (Least Significant Byte first).
Direct Instructions are built of a command code (1 Byte) and the instruction parameters
(max. 260 bytes). The actual payload size depends on the instruction used.

11.4.3.2 Transmission Buffer
Two buffers are implemented in the PN5180. The transmission buffer has a buffer size of
260 bytes, the reception buffer has a size of 508 bytes. Both memories buffer the input
and output data streams between the host and the internal state machine / contactless
UART of the PN5180. Thus, it is possible to handle data streams with lengths of up
to 260 bytes for transmission and up to 508 bytes for reception without taking timing
constraints into account.

Description:
This instruction is used to switch the mode. It is only possible to switch from normal mode
to Standby, LPCD or Autocoll mode. Switching back to normal mode is not possible using
this instruction. The modes Standby, LPCD and Autocoll terminate on specific conditions.
Once a configured mode (Standby, LPCD, Autocoll) terminates, normal mode is entered
again.
To force an exit from Standby, LPCD or Autocoll mode to normal mode, the host
controller has to reset the PN5180.
Condition:
Parameter ‘mode’ has to be in the range from 0 to– 2, inclusive. Dependent on the
selected mode, different parameters have to be passed:
In case parameter ‘mode’ is set to 0 (Standby):

If present in the payload of the instruction, a ‘Select' command is executed followed by a
‘BeginRound’ command. If there is a valid response in the first-time slot (no timeout, no
collision), the instruction sends an ACK and saves the received PC/XPC/UII. The device
performs then an action according to the definitions of the field ‘Timeslot Processed

Description:
This instruction is used to resume the inventory algorithm for the ISO18000-3M3
Inventory in case it is paused. This instruction has to be repeatedly called, as long as
'Response Size' field in EPC_RETRIEVE_INVENTORY_RESULT_SIZE is greater than
0.
A typical sequence for a complete EPC GEN2 inventory retrieval is:
1. Execute EPC_INVENTORY to start the inventory
2. Execute EPC_RETRIEVE_INVENTORY_RESULT_SIZE
3. If size is 0, inventory has finished.
4. Otherwise, execute EPC_RETRIEVE_INVENTORY_RESULT
5. Execute EPC_RESUME_INVENTORY and proceed with step 2.
Condition:
Field 'RFU' must be present and can be set to any value. If the condition is not fulfilled,

Description:
This instruction is used to load the RF configuration from EEPROM into the configuration
registers. The configuration refers to a unique combination of "mode" (target/initiator)
and "baud rate". The configurations can be loaded separately for the receiver (Receiver
configuration) and transmitter (Transmitter configuration).
The PN5180 is pre-configured by EEPROM with settings for all supported protocols.
The default EEPROM settings are considering typical antenna. It is possible for the
user to modify the EEPROM content and by this adapt the default settings to individual
antennas for optimum performance. The command UPDATE_RF_CONFIG is used
for modification of the RF Configuration settings available in the EEPROM. There is
no possibility to update the EEPROM data directly, updates have to make use of the
UPDATE_RF_CONFIG command.

Description:
This command defines the type of digital test signals and their output pins on the chip.
The test bus must be enabled in the EEPROM settings (EEPROM address: 0x17,
TESTBUS_ENABLE) before any signal will appear on the output pins.
There are several signal banks which can be selected, defined by the first Parameter
"Signal Bank".
The second parameter,TB_POS, is defining the type of digital signal in the lower nibble
(bits 0:3) of the parameter byte, and the output pin in the upper nibble (bits 4:7). All digital
output pins are able to provide a digital output signal at the same time.
Sending 1- to 4-times the TB_POS configuration byte allows to configure

The digital debug output is configured by the command
CONFIGURE_TESTBUS_DIGITAL. Two parameters are passed within this command.
The first parameter (1 byte) defines the test signal group. Out of this test signal group,
one signal can be selected for output on a pin of the PN5180 (4 bits).
The signal type of the chosen test signal group is selected by the low-nibble of parameter
2. A value of 8 on this position selects the 13.56 MHz clock to be put out on the selected
pin.
The high nibble of parameter 2 (1 byte) selects the output pin for the selected test signal.
The following parameter groups are possible:

11.5 Memories
11.5.1 Overview
The PN5180 implements two different memories: EEPROM and RAM.
At start-up, all registers are initialized with default values. For the registers defining
the RF functionality, the default values are not set to execute any contactless
communication.
The registers defining the RF functionality are initialized by using the instruction
LOAD_RF_CONFIGURATION.
Using the instruction LOAD_RF_CONFIGURATION, the initialization of the registers
which define the RF behavior of the IC performs an automatic copy of a predefined
EEPROM area (read/write EEPROM section1 and section2, register reset) into the
registers defining the RF behavior.

11.5.3 RAM
The RAM is used as Input/Output buffer, and implements independent buffers for input
and output. The buffers are able to improve the performance of a system with limited
interface speed.
11.5.4 Register
Registers configure the PN5180 for a specific RF protocol and other functionality.
Registers can be initialized using the host interface or by copying data from EEPROM to
the register as done by the command LOAD_RF_CONFIG.
It is mandatory to use the command LOAD_RF_CONFIG for selection of a specific RF
protocol.
11.6 Debug Signals
11.6.1 General functionality
The debugging of the RF functionality of the PN5180 is supported by a configurable
test signal output possibility. Up to 2 analog or up to 4 digital test signals can be routed
to configurable output pins of the PN5180. Test signals can be either analog or digital
signals. The analog test signals contain the digital data of the signal processing unit of
the PN5180, converted to analog signals by two DAC’s to allow the inspection of these
signals in real time.
The test bus functionality as such must be enabled in the EEPROM settings (EEPROM
address: 0x17, TESTBUS_ENABLE).
Two commands exist for configuration of the digital and analog debug signal output,
CONFIGURE_TESTBUS_DIGITAL and CONFIGURE_TESTBUS_ANALOG.
11.6.2 Digital Debug Configuration
The digital debug output is configured by the command
CONFIGURE_TESTBUS_DIGITAL. Two parameters are passed within this command.
The first parameter (1 byte) defines the test signal group. Out of this test signal group,
one signal can be selected for output on a pin of the PN5180 (4 bits).
The signal type of the chosen test signal group is selected by the low-nibble of parameter
2. A value of 8 on this position selects the 13.56 MHz clock to be put out on the selected
pin.
The high nibble of parameter 2 (1 byte) selects the output pin for the selected test signal.
The following parameter groups are possible:

11.6.3 Analog Debug Configuration
For the output of an analog debug signal, two pins are available, AUX1 and AUX2.
Internal digital signals are provided in real-time on the analog output pins without the
need of using a high speed digital interface. Two provide this real time debugging
functionality, two internal DAC’s (Digital Analog Converter) convert internal digital signals
of the PN5180 to analog analog signals and provide this signals on the output pins. Up to
two analog output signals can be provided at the output pins AUX1,AUX2.
The analog signals provided at the output pins are defined by two parameters of the
command CONFIGURE_TESTBUS_ANALOG.
11.7 AUX2 / DWL_REQ
11.7.1 Firmware update
The PN5180 offers the possibility to upgrade the internal Firmware.
The pin AUX2/DWL_REQ is a double function pin. During start-up (time from power-up
of the IC until IDLE IRQ is raised), the pin is used in input mode. If the polarity on this
AUX2/DWL_REQ pin during start-up is high, the PN5180 enters the download mode.
If the boot process is finished (indicated by the IDLE IRQ), the pin is switched to output
mode and the pin can be used for general debug purpose.
Recommended sequence is to set the RESET_N level to 0, set AUX2 pin level to 1 and
release RESET_N to 1.
Exiting the download mode is performed by setting the AUX2 pin to 0 and perform a reset
of the PN5180.
11.7.2 Firmware update command set
The PN5180 uses a dedicated host interface command set for download of new
firmware. The physical SPI host interface is used for download of a new firmware image.
Security features are implemented to avoid intentional or unintentional modifications of
the firmware image. The access to the IC is locked based on authentication mechanism
to avoid unauthorized firmware downloads. The integrity of the firmware is ensured
based on a secure hash algorithm,
The Firmware image can be identified based on a version number, which contains major
and minor number.
For security reasons, the download of a smaller major version number than currently
installed on the PN5180 is not possible.

The PN5180 needs to be connected to a host which implements the FeliCa protocol.
Multiple reception cycles (RxMultiple)
For FeliCa timeslot handling in PCD mode, PN5180 implements multiple reception
cycles. The feature is enabled by setting the control bit RX_MULTIPLE_ENABLE in the
register TRANSCEIVE_CONTROL in combination with the transceive state machine.
Unlike for normal operation, the receiver is enabled again after a reception is finished.
As there is only one receive buffer available, but several responses are expected,
the buffer is split into sub buffers of 32 byte length. Hence, the maximum number of
responses which can be handled is limited to 8. As the maximum length defined for a
FeliCa response is 20 bytes, the buffer size defined does fulfill the requirements for that
use-case. The first data frame received is copied onto buffer address 0. The subsequent
frames are copied to the buffer address 32 * NumberOfReceivedFrames. The maximum
number of data bytes allowed per frame is limited to 28.
All bytes in the buffer between the payload and the status byte are uninitialized
and therefore invalid. The firmware on the host shall not use these bytes. The last
word of the sub buffer (position 28 to 31) contains a status word. The status word
contains the number of received bytes (may vary from the FeliCa length in case of an
error), the CLError flag indicating any error in the reception (which is a combination
of 3 individual error flags DATA_INTEGRITY_ERROR || PROTOCOL_ERROR ||
COLLISION_DETECTED) the individual error flags and the LenError flag indicating an
incorrect length byte (either length byte is greater than 28 or the number of received
bytes is shorter than indicated by the length byte). All unused bits (RFU) are masked to
0.

Figure 23.ꢀ RxMultiple data format
There are 4 different cases possible for a reception:
1. Correct reception - Data integrity is correct (no CRC error), and additionally the
number of bytes received is equal to the length byte. Data is written to the buffer. No
error set in status byte.
2. Erroneous reception - Data is incorrect (data integrity error - CRC wrong) but frame
length is correct. Data is written to buffer and the bits CLError and DataError in the status
byte are set.
3. Erroneous reception - the length byte received indicates a frame length greater than
28. No data is copied to buffer but status byte with LenError bit set is written.
4. Erroneous reception - the length byte is larger than the number of data bytes, which
have been received. Data received is written to buffer and the ProtocolError bit in the
status byte is set.
For each reception, the RX_IRQ in the IRQ_STATUS is set. The host firmware can
disable the IRQ and use a timer for timeout after the last timeslot to avoid excessive
interaction with the hardware. At the end of the reception, additionally the bit field
RX_NUM_FRAMES_RECEIVED in the register RX_STATUS is updated to indicate the
number of received frames.
After the reception of the eight frames (which is the maximum supported), a state
change to next expected state is executed (WaitTransmit for transceive command).
It is possible to issue the IDLE command in order to leave the RxMultiple cycle.
Consequently the reception is stopped. Upon start of a new reception cycle, the flag
RX_NUM_FRAMES_RECEIVED is cleared.
The duration between deactivate and reactivate is at minimum 2 RF cycles and can last
typically up to 2 μs.

11.8.1.6 NFCIP-1 modes
Overview
The NFCIP-1 communication differentiates between an Active and a Passive
Communication Mode.
• Active Communication mode means both the initiator and the target are using their own
RF field to transmit data.
• Passive Communication mode means that the target answers to an initiator command
in a load modulation scheme. The initiator is active in terms of generating the RF field.
• Initiator: Generates RF field at 13.56 MHz and starts the NFCIP-1 communication.
• Target: responds to initiator command either in a load modulation scheme in Passive
Communication mode or using a self-generated and self-modulated RF field for Active
Communication mode.
In order, to support the NFCIP-1 standard the PN5180 supports the Active and Passive
Communication mode at the transfer speeds 106 kbit/s, 212 kbit/s and 424 kbit/s as
defined in the NFCIP-1 standard.
Active communication mode
Active communication mode means both the initiator and the target are using their own
RF field to transmit data.

Note: Transfer Speeds above 424 kbit/s are not defined in the NFCIP-1 standard.
NFCIP-1 protocol support
The NFCIP-1 protocol is not described in this document. The PN5180 does not
implement any of the high-level protocol functions. These higher-level protocol functions
need to be provided by the host. For detailed explanation of the protocol, refer to the
NFCIP-1 standard. However the datalink layer is according to the following policy:
• Speed shall not be changed while continuous data exchange in a transaction.
• Transaction includes initialization, anticollision methods and data exchange (in
continuous way, meaning no interruption by another transaction).
In order not to disturb current infrastructure based on 13.56 MHz, the following general
rules to start an NFCIP-1 communication are defined:
1. Per default, an NFCIP-1 device is in Target mode - meaning its RF field is switched
off.
2. The RF level detector is active.
3. Only if it is required by the application the NFCIP-1 device shall switch to Initiator
mode.
4. An initiator shall only switch on its RF field if no external RF field is detected by the RF
Level detector during a time of TIDT. (Details are specified in the ISO/IEC 18092)
5. The initiator performs initialization according to the selected mode.
11.8.1.7 ISO/IEC14443 A Card operation mode
PN5180 can be configured to act as an ISO/IEC 14443 A compliant card.
In this configuration, the PN5180 can generate an answer in a load modulation scheme
according to the ISO/IEC 14443 A interface description.
Note: PN5180 does not support a complete card protocol. This card protocol has to be
handled by a connected host controller. Nevertheless, the layer3 type A activation is
handled by the NFC frontend. The Card Activated IRQ shall be enabled and notifies if a
card activation had been successfully performed.
The supports ISO/IEC14443 A card mode for data rates 106 kbit/s, 212kbit/s, 424 kbit/s
and 848 kbit/s.

11.8.1.8 NFC Configuration
The NFC protocol for the 106 kbit/s mode defines an additional Sync-Byte (0xF0 + parity)
after the normal start bit had been transmitted. As this Sync-Byte includes a parity bit, it
can be handled by a host firmware as a normal data byte.
11.8.1.9 Mode Detector
The Mode Detector is a functional block of the PN5180in PICC mode which senses
for an RF field generated by another device. The mode detector allows distinguishing
between type Aꢀand FeliCa target mode. Dependent on the recognized protocol
generated by an initiator peer device the host is able to react. The PN5180 is able to
emulate type A cards and peer to peer active target modes according to ISO/IEC18092.
11.8.2 RF-field handling
The NFC frontend supports generation of a RF-field dependent on external conditions
like presence of another NFC device generating an RF field. A flexible mechanism to
control the RF field is available.
After power-up, the RF-field is off.
The instruction RF_ON enables the generation of a RF-field. The NFC frontend can
perform an initial RF collision avoidance according to ISO/IEC18092. Before enabling
the RF-field, a field detection is automatically enabled for TIDT. In case an external field
is detected, the field is not switched on and an RF_ACTIVE_ERROR_IRQ is raised. The
cause for the error can be examined in the RF_STATUS.
In order to switch off the RF-field generation, the RF_OFF instruction needs to be sent.
Active Mode is supported by configuring the RF_ON instruction.
11.8.3 Transmitter TX
The transmitter is able to drive an antenna circuit connected to outputs TX1 and TX2 with
a 13.56 MHz carrier signal. The signal delivered on pins TX1 and pin TX2 is the 13.56
MHz carrier modulated by an envelope signal for energy and data transmission. It can
be used to drive an antenna directly, using a few passive components for matching and

writing any AGC configuration done by the
host. Before switching on the field again,
the host has to take care to configure the

This basic behavior during modulation cannot be configured independently for TX1
and TX2. The clock polarity of each Transmitter driver can be configured separately
with TX1_INV_RM and TX2_INV_RM if the PN5180 operating in reader mode, or
TX1_INV_CM and TX2_INV_CM if the PN5180 is operating in card emulation mode.

11.8.3.2 10 % Amplitude Modulation
For a targeted ASK 10 % amplitude modulation, the bits RF_CONTROL_TX_CLK
in register TX_CLK_MODE_RM need to be set to value 0b111. Then the
signal envelope does not influence the clock behavior thus resulting in an ASK
modulation to a modulation index as defined by RF_CONTROL_TX in the bits
TX_RESIDUAL_CARRIER. The residual carrier setting is used to adjust the modulation
degree at the TX output. A control loop is implemented to keep the modulation degree as
constant as possible.
The settings and resulting typical residual carrier and modulation degree is given in table
below:

11.8.3.3 TX Wait
Tx_wait can be used for 2 different purposes:
On the one hand, it can be used to prevent start of transmission before a certain period
has expired - even if thePN5180 has already finished data processing and set the
START_SEND bit. This behavior is intended for the reader mode to guarantee the PICC
to PCD frame delay time (FDT).
On the other hand, the tx_wait time can be used to start the transmission at an exactly
defined time. For this purpose, data to be sent must be available and the START_SEND
flag has to be set by FW before the period expires. In case the START_SEND bit is not
set when tx_wait expires and MILLER_SYNC_ENABLE is set the transmission is started
on the bit-grid.
The guard time tx_wait is started after the end of a reception, no matter if the frame is
correct or erroneous. The tx_wait guard time counter is not started in case the reception
is restarted because of an EMD-event or in case the RX_MULTIPLE_ENABLE bit is set
to 1.
In case the register flag TX_WAIT_RFON_ENABLE is set to 1 the guard time counter is
started when the devices own RF-Field is switched on.
To start a transmission, it is always necessary for the firmware to set the START_SEND
bit in the SYSTEM_CONFIG register or sending the instruction SEND_DATA.
Having said that it is possible to disable the guard time tx_wait by setting the register
TX_WAIT_CONFIG to 00h.

Figure 30.ꢀ Overshoot/Undershoot prevention
The over- and undershoot protection allows configurîng additional signals on the
Transmitter output which allows to control the signal shaping of the antenna output.
The registers TX_OVERSHOOT_CONFIG and TX_UNDERSHOOT_CONFIG
are used to configure the over-and undershoot protection. Additionally, in register
RF_CONTROL_TX_CLK (bit TX_CLK_MODE_OVUN_PREV) it is defined which
TX clock mode for the period the overshoot/undershoot prevention is active, and
RF_CONTROL_TX (bit TX_RESIDUAL_CARRIER_OV_PREV) defines the value for the
residual carrier for the period the overshoot prevention pattern is active.
11.8.4 Dynamic Power Control (DPC)
The Dynamic Power Control allows adjusting the Transmitter output current dependent
on the loading condition of the antenna.
A lookup table is used to configure the output voltage and by this control the transmitter
current. In addition to the control of the transmitter current, wave shaping settings can be
controlled dependent on the selected protocol and the measured antenna load.

configuring not only a dedicated wave shaping configuration for the corresponding gear,
but in additionally it is possible to configure for this gear the wave shaping configuration
dependent on the different protocols.
Each lookup table item contains a bitmask of technology and baud rate (in order
to use an entry for multiple technologies and baudrates), the DPC Gear and a

DPC Gear
If there is a gear switch, a EEPROM lookup is performed if the current gear (at current
protocol and baud rate) has an assigned wave shaping configuration. In case of an
execution of a LoadProtocol command, this lookup will be performed (example: switching
from baud rate A106 to A424) as well. The change from the wave shaping configuration
as configured by LOAD_RF_CONFIG is relative, which means that bits are added or

11.8.6 Adaptive Receiver Control (ARC)
(Available from Firmware 2.6 onwards) Depending on the level of detected detuning
of the antenna, receiver-related register settings can be automatically updated. The
registers which allow to be dynamically controlled are RX_GAIN and RX_HPCF.
The size of the Lookup table for the ARC is done in the upper nibble of the entry
PCD_SHAPING_LUT_SIZE (0x97). In case this entry is zero, the ARC is deactivated. In
total 20 entries (20*1 DWORD = 80 bytes) + 1 byte for length (upper nibble for RX Gain,
and lower nibble for PCD shaping) can be used for both PCD shaping (AWC) and RX
Gain configuration (ARC) in the EEPROM.
The ARC lookup table (configuration data) is added at the end of the AWC
(waveshaping) lookup table. This provides maximum flexibility and allows do define
different lookup table sizes for both AWC and ARC. Care must be taken if the size of the
AWC table is changed, this results in invalid ARC data which might have been previously
configured since the ARC table offset changes as a result of the changed AWC size.
The ARC settings override the default RX_GAIN, RX_HPCF, MIN_LEVEL and
MIN_LEVELP register configuration done by Load Protocol.
In case of a gear switch, an EEPROM lookup is performed. If the current gear (at current
protocol and baud rate) has an assigned RX_GAIN, RX_HPCF, MIN_LEVEL and

The PICC state machine supports three configurations:
• Autocoll mode0: Autocoll mode is left when no RF field is present
• Autocoll mode1: Autocoll mode is left when one technology is activated by an external
reader. During RFoff, the chip enters standby mode automatically
• Autocoll mode2: Autocoll mode is left when one technology is activated by an external
reader. During RFoff, the chip does not enter standby mode.
At start-up, the Autocoll state machine automatically performs a LOAD_RF_CONFIG
with the General Target Mode Settings. When a technology is detected during activation,
the Autocoll state machine performs an additional LOAD_RF_CONFIG with the
corresponding technology.
The card configuration for the activation is stored in EEPROM. If RandomUID is enabled
(EEPROM configuration, Address 0x51), a random UID is generated after each RF-off.
For all active target modes, the own RF field is automatically switched on after the
initiator has switched off its own filed.

11.8.9 Receiver RX
11.8.9.1 Reader Mode Receiver
In Reader Mode, the response of the PICC device is coupled from the PCB antenna to
the differential input RXP/RXN. The Reader Mode Receiver extracts this signal by first
removing the carrier in passive mixers (direct conversion for I and Q), then filtering and
amplifying the baseband signal, and finally converting to digital values with 2 separate
ADCs for I and Q channel. Both the I and Q channels have a differential structure which
improves the signal quality.

The I/Q-Mixer mixes the differential input RF-signal down to the baseband. The mixer
has a band with of 2 MHz.
The down mixed differential RX input signals are passed to the BBA and band-pass
filtered. In order to consider all the various protocols (Type A/B, FeliCa), the high-pass
cut-off frequency of BBA can be configured between 45 kHz and 250 kHz in 4 different
steps. The low-pass cut-off frequency is above 2 MHz.
This band-passed signal is then further amplified with a gain factor which is configurable
between 30 dB and 60 dB. The baseband amplifier (BBA)/ADC I- and Q- channel can be
enabled separately. This is required for ADC-based CardMode functionality as only the I-
channel is used in this case.
The gain and high pass corner frequency of the BBA are not independent from each
other:

11.8.9.2 Automatic Gain Control
The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) of the receiver is used to control the amplitude of the
received 13.56 MHz input sine-wave signal from the antenna (input pins RXP and RXN).
It is desirable to achieve an input voltage in the range of 1.5 V to 1.65 V at the pins RXP,
RXN. For symmetric antennas, the voltage levels are the same on the pins RXP, RXN.
A voltage lower than 1.5 V lead to a reduced sensitivity of the receiver, a voltage level
higher than 1.65 V could result in clipping of the received signal in the signal processing
unit of the PN5180. Both conditions should be avoided for optimum performance of the
IC. An antenna detuning caused by the presence of a card, or mobile phone will typically
result in an RX input level which is outside the desired input voltage range. Here the AGC
helps to simplify the design by keeping the RX voltage automatically within the range of
1.5 V to 1.65 V even under dynamic changing antenna detuning conditions.
Functional description:
The peak of the input signal at RXP is regulated to be equal to a reference voltage
(internally generated from the supply using a resistive divider). Two external resistors
are connected to the RX inputs, the specific value of these resistors in a given design
depends on the selected antenna and needs to be determined during development. This
external resistor, together with an on-chip variable resistor connected to VMID, forms
a resistive voltage divider for the signal processor input voltage. The resolution of the
variable resistor is 10 bits.
By varying the on-chip resistor, the amplitude of the input signal can be modified.
The on-chip resistor value is increased or decreased depending on the output of the
sampled comparator, until the peak of the input signal matches the reference voltage.
The amplitude of the RX input is therefore automatically controlled by the AGC circuit.
The internal amplitude controlling resistor in the AGC has a default value of 10 kOhm
typ DC coupled. (i.e. when the resistor control bits in AGC_VALUE <9:0> are all 0, the
resistance is 10 k). As the control bits are increased, resistors are switched in parallel to
the 10k resistor thus lowering the combined resulting resistance value down to 20 Ohm
DC coupled (AGC_VALUE <9:0>, all bits set to 1).
Any RF-field-off is enabling the AGC, configuring the AGC for Card mode and is over-
writing any AGC configuration done previously by the host.
11.8.9.3 RX Wait
The guard time rx_wait is started after the end of a transmission. If the register flag
RX_WAIT_RFON_ENABLE is set to 1 the guard time is started when the device
switches off its own RF-Field and an external RF-Field was detected.
The guard time rx_wait can be disabled by setting the register RX_WAIT_VALUE to 00h
meaning the receiver is immediately enabled.
11.8.9.4 EMD Error handling
EMVCo
The PN5180 supports EMD handling according to the EMVCo standard. To support
further extension the EMD block is configurable to allow adoption for further standard
updates.

The PN5180 supports automatically restart of the receiver and CLIF timer1 is restarted in
case of an EMD event. The CLIF timer is selectable in the EMD_CONTROL register.
An EMD event is generated:
• Independent of received number of bytes
• Any Residual bits and EMD_CONTROL.emd_transmission_error_above_noise = 0
• When the received number of bytes without CRC is <=
EMD_CONTROL.emd_noise_bytes_threshold
• Independent of received number of bytes
• Any Residual bits and EMD_CONTROL.emd_transmission_error_above_noise = 0
• When the received number of bytes without CRC is <=

• Missing CRC (1 byte frame) when

11.8.10 Low-Power Card Detection (LPCD)
The low-power card detection is an energy saving configuration option for the PN5180.
A low frequency oscillator (LFO) is implemented to drive a wake-up counter, waking-up
PN5180 from standby mode. This allows implementation of low-power card detection
polling loop at application level.
The SWITCH_MODE instruction allows entering the LPCD mode with a given standby
duration value.

Before entering the LPCD mode, an LPCD reference value needs to be determined.
Three options do exist for generating this reference value.
The LPCD works in two phases:
First the standby phase is controlled by the wake-up counter (timing defined in the
instruction), which defines the duration of the standby of the PN5180.
Second phase is the detection-phase. The RF field is switched on for a defined time
(EEPROM configuration) and then the AGC value is compared to a reference value.

• If the AGC value exceeds the reference value, a LPCD_IRQ is raised to the host. The
register configurations done by the host are not restored after wake-up. command. The
host has to configure the NFC frontend for a dedicated protocol operation to allow a
polling for a card.
• If the AGC value does not exceed the limit of the reference value, no LPC_IRQ is
raised and the IC is set to the first phase (standby mode) again.
As an additional feature the GPO1 (general-purpose output) pin can be enabled to wake-
up an external DC/DC from power down for the TVDD supply. The GPO1 allows setting
to high before the transmitter is switched on. This allows the wake-up of an external DC/
DC from power down. The GPO1 can be set to low after the RF field is switched off to set
an external DC/DC into power-down mode. The time of toggling the GPO in relation to
the RF-on and RF-off timings can be configured in EEPROM addresses 0x39 and 0x3A.
These two phases are executed in a loop until
1. Card / metal is detected (LPCD_IRQ is raised).
2. Reset occurs, which resets all the system configurations. The LPCD is also stopped in
this case.

4. RF Level Detected
The behavior of the generated field is different dependent on the activation state of the
DPC function:
• If the DPC feature is not active, the ISO/IEC14443 type A 106 kbit/s settings are used
during the sensing time.
• If the DPC is active, the RF_ON command is executed. The RF field is switched on
as soon as the timer configured by the SWITCH_MODE command elapses. The RF
field is switched on for a duration as defined for an activated DPC. The timer for the
LPCD_FIELD_ON_TIME starts to count as soon as the RF_ON command terminates.

The values TX_WAIT_VALUE and

of two independent counters. The counter linked to
TX_WAIT_PRESCALER is decremented at every
13.56 MHz clock.
As soon as the counter TX_WAIT_PRESCALER
overflows (transition from 00h to FFh), the counter
linked to TX_WAIT is decremented. At the same
time, the counter linked to TX_WAIT_PRESCALER is
reloaded with the TX_WAIT_PRESCALER value.
The first initial TX_WAIT_PRESCALER counter
value is always using the data defined in
TX_BITPHASE (in case of PICC operation). All other
subsequent counter reload values are taken from
TX_WAIT_PRESCALER.
Note: If set to 00000h the tx_wait guard time is

PN5180A0xx/C3
High-performance multi-protocol full NFC frontend, supporting all NFC Forum modes
12 Secure Firmware Update
12.1 General functionality
The PN5180 supports a secure update of the implemented firmware. The secure
firmware download mode is using a dedicated command set and framing which is
different from the standard host interface commands used for NFC operation of the
device.
In Secure Firmware update mode, the PN5180 requires a dedicated physical handling of
the SPI interface lines and the BUSY line.
The secure firmware download mode is entered by setting the DWL_REQ pin to high
during startup of the device. This pin can be used for any other functionality after startup,
the level of this pin has no impact on the download functionality after startup during
standard NFC operation.
The firmware binary file which is used to update the PN5180 is protected with a
signature. This prevents a download of any other software which is not signed by NXP.
An anti-tearing function is implemented in order to detect supply voltage removal or
memory fault.
During the secure firmware download, the normal mode NFC operation is not available
and only the command set defined for the secure firmware download is valid.
In case of any failure or exception during the download, the PN5180 remains in the
secure firmware download mode until a full firmware update sequence has been
performed successfully.
Updating the firmware of the PN5180 programs the memories for user EEPROM
and RF configuration with default values. Any previous user configuration will be
overwritten. The user has to take care to restore the data of these memories after a
secure firmware update.
The PN5180 can be used for firmware update as follows:
1. Set DWL_REQ pin to high
2. Reset
3. The PN1580 boots in download mode
4. Download new firmware version
5. Execute the check integrity command to verify the successful update (The
CheckIntegrity command cannot be called while a download session is open)
6. Reset the PN5180
7. The device starts in NFC operation mode
12.2 Physical Host Interface during Secure Firmware Download
In Secure Firmware update mode, the PN5180 is using a different physical host interface
signaling than in NFC operation mode.
The BUSY line is used in a different way than for NFC operation mode, and the data is
packed in frames protected by a CRC16 checksum.

12.3 Download Protection
Data of the PN5180 like firmware version numbers, are protected against any tearing
attempt.
The PN5180 uses a chained hash approach having the first command hash protected
with an RSA signature. The chained hash sequence binds each frame with the next one
comparable to an S/KEY mechanism. Hence authenticity of the downloaded code can
be ensured due to secrecy of the RSA private key. Any firmware which is not issued and
signed by NXP, is rejected by the security system of the PN5180 and cannot be loaded
into the memory of the device.
The security system of the PN5180 assures that no firmware data can be overwritten
without verifying the authenticity and integrity of the new data beforehand.
During the secure firmware download, a new firmware version number is sent. The
firmware version number is composed of a major and a minor number:
1. Major number: 8 bit (MSB)
2. Minor number: 8 bit (LSB)
The PN5180 checks if the new major version number is equal or higher than the current
one. In case the current major version number is larger than the already installed version
number of the firmware, the secure firmware update is rejected. Downgrading major
firmware versions is therefore not possible.
An integrity check command is available which can be executed by the host immediately
after a firmware update to check if the update had been successful.
The major and minor firmware version numbers can be read out at any time using the
host interface and commands in NFC mode to identify exactly which firmware is installed
on a dedicated hardware. It is not required to enter the secure firmware download mode
to retrieve this firmware version information.
An already started firmware download may be interrupted for any of the following
reasons:
• Reset (hard or soft)
• Failure of the Signature verification of the first secure write command

The payload of one command consists of
• Memory block address: 3 bytes Memory block size: 2 bytes
• Memory data block: 512 bytes maximum
• Hash of the next frame: 32 bytes
The first write command used for a secure firmware download includes the version
number, and a hash value over the following command and the RSA signature. Every
following command includes the actual data block to be updated and the hash value over
the following command and data. The last command does not contain any hash value.
The Payload including command can be split into chunks which allows the transfer of
large payloads.

17.2 Power supply of a microcontroller by the PN5180 / LDO_OUT
The PN5180 is able to provide an regulated 3.3V voltage with currents of up to 100mA.
This regulated voltage is available on pin LDO_OUT.
The PN5180 needs to be configured properly to enable the output of the regulated 3.3 V
Voltage output.
The output of the 3.3 V can be enabled either by a register configuration after boot or by
EEPROM configuration at startup:
Register: SYSTEM_CONFIG.LDO_ENABLE (bit 11)
EEPROM Address 0xE8, Misc_Config (bit 3) - if set the 3.3 V output is enabled.
The supply voltage will be available during Idle mode.

17.3 Zero Power Wakeup
The PN5180 allows to use the energy of an external reader RF field to provide an output
voltage on the pin VDHF, even if the chip is not otherwise supplied with power. This
voltage generated from the external RF field allows to trigger a silicon main switch to
supply the chip. Any NFC mobile phone polling for cards is generating periodically such
an RF field which can be used to toggle this silicon main switch.
No configuration of registers is required to use this functionality.
This feature allows to develop systems with a power consumption close to zero during
power-off.
17.4 LPCD while using an external DC/DC
As power-saving feature the PN5180 allows using a general-purpose output to control an
external DC/DC during Low-Power Card Detection.
A system might use a DC/DC for supply of the transmitters from a battery is in low power
card detection mode. Typically, the DC/DC will be permanently active resulting in a high
average current consumption. There is no way to use a power saving feature of a DC/
DC, because the time of RF-on of a low power card detection cycle is not known to the
DC/DC.
The solution is now to use a GPO to wake up the DC/DC from power down before the RF
of an low power card detection cycle is switched on. The DC/DC needs to be woken up
sufficiently early to allow a settling of the supplied output.
The sequence will be as follows:

1. The GPO wakes up the DC/DC
2. The PN5180 switches on the RF (low power card detection cycle)
3. If no card had been detected, the RF is switched off
4. The GPO sets the DC/DC in power saving mode
The GPO function as such can be enabled by the EEPROM register:
LPCD_REFVAL_GPO_CONTROL.
• The time between trigger of the DC/DC and RF-OFF is configured by the EEPROM
register: LPCD_GPO_TOGGLE_AFTER_FIELD_OFF
• The time between trigger of the DC/DC and RF-ON is configured by the EEPROM
register: LPCD_GPO_TOGGLE_BEFORE_FIELD_ON
This functionality allows to implement a power efficient LPCD function even in case of a
required DC/DC.
