9.6.2.5 NXP_PL_EMULATION, NXP_PL_PAUSE parameters
NXP_PL_EM
ULATION and NXP_PL_PAUSE timings have sense only when a reader
sequence has been started by NXP_PL_RDPHASES.
As the Polling Loop is running, Emulation & Pause modes have a different meaning:
Emulation mode means card emulation mode (either from Host or UICC or SmartMX) as
well as NFC Target. In this mode, the PN544 is seen as a contact less card and as a
NFC Target. For details on UICC and SmartMX setup, refer to SWP & NFC-WI chapters.
Pause mode means no action; PN544 does not perform any action.
Note: Refer to PWR_STATUS (See ‘0 cha
pter) to set the default power mode of
Emulation or Pause phases.

Here is a view of the different Polling Loop possibilities:
No phase started:
If no sequence (neither reader nor emulation) has been started, the PN544 stays
infinitely in the default power mode (Refer to PWR_STATUS EEPROM area.). In such a
mode, the Emulation can be enabled according to SWP and NFC-WI.
One Emulation phase only:
If no reader phase has been enabled nor pause phase, the emulation phase will be
infinite. As long as there is no external reader, the PN544 is in Card Emulation mode,
with RF level detector active. To save power, the default power mode should be set to
standby.
