7.9.3 Configuration Word

The Configuration word is used to define the AS3953 operating options. It is delivered by

ams with default setting.

Notes:

1. Configuration bits

b31 to b15 define AS3953 response to SAK and ATS command in ISO 14443A Protocol modes, while bits b14 to b0

actually change performance.

2. Incase both

nl4 and nfc are set, the nl4 setting prevails.

larger frame sizes in case FIFO is read during the receiving.
