This Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reference design outlines the required components, layout considerations, and provides firmware examples to implement RFID into applications for extracting RFID data from transponders. RFID enables access control, prepayment, and inventory management. The documentation, hardware, and example code provided allows the designer to quickly implement RFID functionality with an MSP430 or other MCU of choice.
