ST25R3916B - Resistive Divider RF input

[Moritz_]

Hi,

 

is it possible to use the ST25R3916B with an resisitve divider (instead of the capacitive divider) at the RF Inputs to limit the input voltage to a safe value.

In case this is possible, is an additional DC-Block needed?

I am driving a purely resistive load with the RF Outputs.

 

Thank you very much.

Hi,

 

The chip is biasing the input signal (sinus) coming from the antenna using AGD voltage.

It means that the sinus is DC biased by ~1.5V. Therefore the Antenna needs to be DC de-coupled from the antenna.

All the internal filters are designed in a way to operate with this proposed capacitiv voltage divider.

A resisitve voltage divider is not recommended and operation is not guaranteed.
