Frequently Asked Questions
What RF frequency and protocols does the TRF7960RHBR support for RFID communication?
The TRF7960RHBR operates at 13.56 MHz and supports multiple RFID/NFC protocols including ISO 14443 A/B and ISO 15693. This multi-protocol capability enables a single reader design to communicate with diverse tag types used in access control badges, contactless payment cards, and industrial tracking labels without hardware changes.
What package does the TRF7960RHBR use and what is its peak reflow temperature rating?
The TRF7960RHBR comes in a 32-pin QFN (S-PQCC-N32) very thin profile chip carrier package with an exposed thermal slug on the bottom. It is rated for a 260°C peak reflow temperature, which is compatible with standard lead-free SMT soldering processes and allows reliable assembly in high-throughput automated production lines.
When would a designer choose the TRF7960RHBR over discrete RFID front-end components?
The TRF7960RHBR integrates the complete 13.56 MHz RF analog front-end, framing logic, and protocol handling into a single 32-pin QFN, replacing a multi-chip discrete design that would typically require a separate oscillator, analog filter, demodulator, and microcontroller RFID stack. This integration reduces PCB area, lowers BOM cost, and shortens design time for access control, payment, and identification reader products.
