Designed for secure payment terminals and access control readers requiring robust RF performance and firmware-upgradable operation.
For engineers reviewing the PN5190B2EV/C131K datasheet, PN5190B2EV/C131K pinout, PN5190B2EV/C131K application, or PN5190B2EV/C131K equivalent, this page delivers verified RF protocol support, VFBGA64 package mapping, SPI interface timing, ULPCD current specification, and firmware version 3.2–specific features including LPCD_WITH_AUTOCOLL_EVENT and DYNAMIC_POWERLEVEL_REG register support.
Technical Context
The PN5190B2EV/C131K implements a fully integrated 13.56 MHz NFC frontend with hardware-accelerated MIFARE Classic/Plus/DESFire/Ultralight crypto, ISO/IEC 14443-A/B reader/writer mode at 848 kbit/s, and proprietary passive communication up to 848 kbit/s. Its RF architecture includes dual TX outputs (TX1/TX2), differential RX inputs (RXP/RXN), and VMID symmetry point connection for antenna tuning.
It features an integrated step-up DC-DC converter (2.8 V–6.0 V output) synchronized with receiver clock to suppress noise, a dedicated TX_LDO with 100 mV granularity for DPC2.0, and autonomous ULPCD using amplitude-only detection. Firmware v3.2 adds LPCD_WITH_AUTOCOLL_EVENT (0x23 command), LpcdWithAutocollExpiryInterval EEPROM field (0xCEE), and CTS_FAST_CONFIGURE (0x2B) for sub-50 µs initialization.

FAQ
What firmware version is pre-programmed on PN5190B2EV/C131K?
PN5190B2EV/C131K ships with firmware version 3.2 pre-installed. This version includes LPCD_WITH_AUTOCOLL_EVENT (0x23 command), DYNAMIC_POWERLEVEL_REG (0x64), LFO_TRIM_CALIBRATION (0xCED), and CTS_FAST_CONFIGURE (0x2B). Unlike earlier versions, v3.2 cannot be downgraded and supports crypto-assisted firmware updates only.
Does PN5190B2EV/C131K support both ISO/IEC 14443-A and ISO/IEC 14443-B protocols?
Yes, PN5190B2EV/C131K supports ISO/IEC 14443-A and ISO/IEC 14443-B reader/writer modes up to 848 kbit/s. It also handles MIFARE Classic/Plus/DESFire/Ultralight cards via hardware-accelerated crypto licensed from NXP and Innovatron, enabling full interoperability with legacy and modern contactless cards.
What is the ULPCD current consumption of PN5190B2EV/C131K and how is it achieved?
PN5190B2EV/C131K achieves 22 μA typical ULPCD current at 3.0 V, 330 ms polling interval, and 50 Ω antenna matching. This is accomplished through hardware-based amplitude-only detection (not I/Q channel analysis), eliminating continuous digital processing. Note: GPIO3 is reserved exclusively for ULPCD abort and cannot serve other functions when ULPCD is active.
Can PN5190B2EV/C131K operate without the integrated DC-DC converter?
Yes, PN5190B2EV/C131K supports direct VDDPA supply up to 6.0 V, bypassing the DC-DC. However, the DC-DC is recommended for battery-powered designs to maintain stable TX voltage during discharge. When ULPCD is enabled, the DC-DC must be disabled; LPCD mode permits DC-DC usage but sacrifices some current efficiency.
What package type and pin count does PN5190B2EV/C131K use?
PN5190B2EV/C131K uses the VFBGA64 package: 64-ball, 4.5 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.80 mm body, 0.4 mm pitch, moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL=3), delivered in trays. It features functionally distinct ground domains (VSS_PA, VSS_PLL, VSS_PWR, etc.) and dedicated decoupling-capacitor outputs (VDDNV, VREF, VDDC, TXVCM, VMID) for optimal RF performance.
