TRF7964A: IRQ - No response time interrupt sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

Part Number: TRF7964A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP-7970ABP

I've been developing my firmware using the DLP-7970ABP development board and got the ISO15693 Anti-Collision Algorithm with No response time interrupt working. I've transferred the firmware to a prototype board that's using the TRF7964A chip and I'm encountering problems with no response time interrupt sometime stopping working. I'm using one tag in the field for testing. It tends to happen after the chip encounters a tag in the slot: I get an IRQ that RX start, check how many bytes are in the buffer, retrieve the data, then send the commands to block the receiver (0x16), Enable the receiver (0x17), and send the next slot (0x14). Like I said, it sometimes works the way I expect it to and cycles through all the slots and retrieving the one tag in the field, but when it doesn't work, I don't receive a "No response time" interrupt after reading the tag.  Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Scott
