Abstract

See full text

A near-field communication (NFC) receiver includes first and second input terminals for receiving first and second input signals having a modulated signal portion and a carrier signal portion. The receiver includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a mixer, a track-and-hold (T&H) circuit, an amplifier, and an analog-to-digital converter. The mixer has a first input coupled to receive the first and second input signals and a second input coupled to receive a low frequency current from the DAC. The mixer subtracts the carrier portion from the first and second input signals using the DAC current at a level determined using a DSP in a feedback loop to approximate the carrier. The T&H circuit has an input coupled to receive the combined current and an output to provide a series of output samples. The ADC is coupled to receive the amplified output signal and to provide a digital representation of the amplified output signal.
