TRF7964A: FeliCa in Direct Mode

Part Number: TRF7964A

Hi,

Customers want to communicate with SPI without SS. I understand that we have to use Direct Mode because TRF7964A can't use FIFO.(Errata) Is it right?

Can TRF7964A communicate with FeliCa in direct mode?

Regards,

Rei

  • Hi Rei,

    when using SPI without SS the FIFO is not accessible, that is right. Direct mode 1 would be an option but requires dedicated firmware and the connection of I/O5 (Data) I/O6 (Bit Clock) and the MOD pin to the MCU. The MCU must also be fast enough to handle the TX and RX data in time. I would recommend using the SPI with SS when possible.
