Standard ECMA-362 NFCIP-1 – protocol test methods

Summary

This protocol outlines the procedures and requirements for testing a Device Under Test (DUT) in compliance with ECMA-340 standards, focusing on various communication modes and data rates. The tests are designed to verify the DUT’s performance in tasks such as generating I/O character timing, monitoring the RF I/O protocol, handling protocol-specific commands (e.g., ATR_REQ, PSL_REQ), and measuring response times and frame formats. The document specifies that the DUT must respond correctly to command frames within predefined parameters, with failures leading to non-compliance. Testing is conducted at multiple data rates (106, 212, and 424 kbps) and involves scenarios for both active and passive communication modes. The outcomes are documented in detailed test reports, indicating whether the DUT meets the required standards for each tested scenario.
