The NFC transceiver IC is intended for adding NFC functionality to mobile devices and other applications having embedded MCU. The device can perform in one of three modes: RFID/NFC reader, NFC Peer, or Card Emulation mode.
NT1045 is composed of an integrated RF front-end, SPI interface for communications with MCU, 128-byte FIFO for payload data, and RFID framing engine supporting ISO15693, ISO14443A*, ISO14443B and NFCIP standards.
Extension of standards set and implementation of custom RFID protocols can be achieved by using direct modes with MCU-controlled bit coding and framing. Direct access to RF Frontend control registers allows fine tuning of various parameters at physical layer.
