FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CORE: Core module interconnects all the sub-modules in the NFC Controller IP. Ports of core module are the top level ports for the NFC Controller IP.

TFSM: TFSM module generates the NFC Controller IP transactions based on the commands received from CSR block. Also, based on the commands this module drives data to encoder module.

RFSM: RFSM module implements the NFC controller receiver state machine. This module is used to sample and store the frames.

RPRESCALER: RPrescaler module is used to divide the system clock based on the given rprescaler value to derive the serial clock input for reception of NFC Controller.

TPRESCALER: TPrescaler module is used to divide the system clock based on the given tprescaler value to derive the serial clock input for transmission of NFC Controller.

ENCODER: Encoder module is used to encode the input data and deliver the encoded data to the NFC Controller output. The encryption of the is based on the type of encoding used for type of protocol as per the standard specification.

DECODER: Decoder module is used to decode the input data and send the decoded data into the NFC Controller input. This module handles the decryption of the encrypted data.

CSR: CSR module has all the Control and status registers. The contents of the registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality. This block contains interrupt enable and status registers.
