Figure 7-1 shows a sample application schematic for SPI with an SS mode MCU interface.
Minimum MCU requirements depend on application requirements and coding style. If only one ISO protocol or a limited command set of a protocol needs to be supported, MCU Flash and RAM requirements can be significantly reduced. Recursive inventory and anticollision commands require more RAM than single slotted operations. For example, an ISO/IEC 15693-only application that supports anticollision needs approximately 7KB of flash memory and 500 bytes of RAM. In contrast, a full NFC stack that supports peer-to-peer, card emulation, and reader/writer modes needs 65KB of flash memory and 4KB of RAM. An MCU that can run its GPIOs at 13.56 MHz is required for direct mode 0 operations.
