Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TRF7970A,
We are using this device and in manufacturing we are seeing about 1% failure rate of devices that can not read an rfid tags consistently. I have found that this problem is temperature sensitive at least the devices that show the problem at room temperature. The regulation is set to 5V Default but when I set it to 5V manual it seems to solve the problem on a unit test of 1 thus far. I need to know exactly what the default, auto and manual regulation is doing and why it is having this effect. I've been testing these devices at 10C, with a read of once a second for 3600 attempts and bad units generally miss 10 ish reads to as high as 3600. The tags are only 30mm from the reader.
