The goal of this application note is to provide guidelines to design a CR95HF antenna which impedance matches to the CR95HF impedance. This allows to achieve the best RF communications between the CR95HF transceiver integrated circuit (IC) and ISO15693 or ISO14443 RF memory tags.

The DEMO-CR95HF-A is a demonstration board for the CR95HF 13.56 MHz contactless transceiver. It is designed as a ready-to-use circuit board to interface with the CR95HF PC host demonstration software through an USB bus. The DEMO-CR95HF-A is powered by the USB bus and no external power supply is required. It is based on the CR95HF contactless transceiver with a 47x34 mm 13.56 MHz inductive etched antenna and its associated tuning components, and on a STM32F103CB 32-bit microcontroller that communicates with the CR95HF via the USB bus.
