NXP Semiconductors expanded its portfolio for plug-and-play near field communication (NFC) solutions with Arduino add-on boards and the release of PN7150, a high-performance NFC controller with integrated firmware and NCI interface.
The expanded portfolio enables easier and faster integration of NFC technology in consumer electronic devices, especially in OS-based systems. The PN71xx family now comes with various add-on boards, software examples and supports development platforms featuring an Arduino stackable header, including Kinetis, LPCXpresso, i.MX and QorIQ, allowing for rapid NFC expansion and prototyping.
Equipped with embedded firmware, accom-panied by Linux, Android, WinIoT drivers and several software examples, the PN7150 enables easy integration of NFC functionality in OS-based systems via the NCI interface. The new NFC controller can be ideal for applications such as home network gateways, routers, set-top boxes, TVs, as well as audio and medical devices.
Each PN71xx device integrates a complete NFC frontend and an advanced 32-bit microcontroller along with preinstalled certified NFC software stacks. Compared to the board footprint-optimised PN7120 in BGA package, first announced in 2015, PN7150 responds to the latest market requests by featuring twice as much output power and an easy to assemble HVQFN40 package. In combination with NXP’s connected NTAG I²C plus, the PN71xx ICs can be used for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or ZigBee pairing to simplify commissioning of home automation applications.
