Texas Instruments announced what it claims to be the industry’s first flexible 13,56 MHz sensor transponder family. The ultra-low-power RF430FRL15xH system-on-chip (SoC) family combines an ISO 15693-compliant near field communication (NFC) interface with a programmable microcontroller (MCU), non-volatile FRAM, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and SPI or I²C interface.
The dual-interface sensor transponder is optimised for use in fully passive (batteryless) or semi-active modes to achieve extended battery life in a wide range of consumer wearables, industrial, medical and asset tracking applications. Non-volatile FRAM combines the speed, flexibility and endurance of SRAM with the stability and reliability of Flash, while providing the industry’s lowest power consumption and virtually unlimited write cycles. FRAM allows developers to create products that can quickly store sensor data and enables easy configuration of the transponder and sensors to meet any application’s needs.
Developers can use this solution to design products that require an analog or digital interface, data logging capabilities and data transfers to an NFC-enabled reader. The RF430FRL15xH transponder acts as a sensor node for these applications and generates an IoT-ready solution when an NFC-enabled device pushes the data to the cloud.
