Operational Description and User ManualFLAECH TAGE NFC
General product overview
Function CA:
There are two different capacitive sensors. The first sensor is used for unlock function. This sensor can distinguish an approach and a touch in SW, but there is only a LIN or UART signalization for unlock touch. The second sensor is used for lock function and is designed as a touch sensor. An SW differentiation between lock approach and lock touch is also possible, but just as the unlock sensor there is only a LIN or UART signalization for the locked touch.
Keyless access is enabled by activating the sensors on the door handle in combination withthe door handle-ECU, whereby the vehicle can be unlocked or locked.
Function NFC:
To enable communication with an NFC device, the door handle electronics CA + NFC has a highly integrated transceiver IC for contactless communication at 13,56MHz for automotive applications. This reader has a gateway function, the possibility to buffer required data and various diagnostic information can be provided as well.
The data is transferred to the NFC device according to ISO/IEC 14443-A and the data transmission to the vehicle is realized via LIN-Bus interface. ECP is implemented to communicate with Apple NFC devices.
In LPCD mode the door handle electronics checks the magnetic field for amplitude or phase change. This LPCD polling takes place in adjustable interval lengths.

General manufacturing instructions
- At the beginning of the production process, the serial number is marked on the PCB.
- An unacceptable deflection of the board while placing components must be avoided.
- PCB separation is a particularly critical process. Torsional stress during separation and impact stress during punching shall be avoided.
- The method for depanelling must ensure that no components be damaged. An evidence of the equipment manufacturer is necessary.
- The soldering process should be reflow soldering and selective wave soldering.
- Active cooling of the board after soldering is not permitted.
- The components specifications concerning the temperature gradients must be adhered.
- A reworking of a SMD component with a soldering iron is prohibited.
