The company released its NTAG I²C plus, which extends the family
of connected tag solutions that combines passive NFC with I²C interfaces
well known for enabling NFC commissioning, simple “tap-to-connect”
communications between smart devices to the home network. The new tags
deliver four times higher data transfer performance, while adding new,
advanced features for password protection, full memory-access
configuration from both interfaces, and an ECC based originality
signature for protection against cloning.
At Embedded World 2016, NXP also introduces the PN7462, a highly
integrated family of single-chip solutions that combine low power ARM®
Cortex®-M0 microcontroller core, USB, a contact and contactless
interface with full NFC support and capabilities. The PN7462 family is
specifically designed for applications like corporate access,
hospitality or home banking as it integrates a myriad of technologies,
supports the complete MIFARE product portfolio and comes with an NFC
Forum and EMVCo 2.5 compliant software library. To further support quick
product development and certification, the PN7462 family features Dynamic
Power Control (DPC), invented by NXP, to ensure robust communication
even in harsh environments.
NTAG I²C plus and the PN7462 family combined with the recently
launched PN5180
frontend, are an important part of NXP’s strategy to enable the
industry to develop and deliver compelling NFC use cases for smarter and
more secure connections.
As the inventor of MIFARE and co-creator of NFC, NXP is committed to
driving new experiences throughout daily life with NFC technology from
delivering the ease to connect to home appliances, personal devices and
public systems. “NXP is fuelled by our customer’s excitement to explore
the rich set of NFC use cases that can securely and conveniently connect
devices,” said Rafael Sotomayor, senior vice president of secure mobile
transactions. “With more people choosing experiences over products, NXP
is in the forefront of innovation and we want to continue making these
amazing experiences possible. We therefore have built an
innovation-driven, modular portfolio of NFC solutions that can support
every application, from the most simple to the most complex and secure
while offering comprehensive support tools and design collaterals.”
“We are happy to team up with NXP, the market leader in contactless
identification technologies, to address the fast growing leisure market
and to jointly explore new market opportunities globally,” said Elmar
Hartmann, managing director at GANTNER Electronic GmbH. “We have easily
incorporated the brand new highly integrated PN7462 NFC reader IC
solution into our next generation of connected lock systems and are
excited to explore different areas that can also benefit from this
solution such as fitness clubs, theme parks, public pools and spas, ski
resorts, as well as educational and healthcare institutions.”
Demonstration
NXP’s NFC solutions will be demonstrated at Embedded World 2016 at the
NXP booth# 4A-220.
NXP will also demonstrate the NFC-enabled NHS31XX solutions that marked
NXP’s first move into the smart pharma sector for cold chain monitoring
and therapy adherence.
Availability
NTAG I²C plus is released and fully available through all major
NXP distributors. The PN7462 family is expected to be available for mass
production at April 2016.
