NFC Transceiver

The NFC transceiver is considered for adding NFC functionality to mobile devices and other applications having embedded MCU.

Overview

The NFC transceiver is considered 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. This 13.56 MHz NFC IP in generic low-cost incompatibility with ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO15693 suited for NFC-equipped smartphone. It covers a legacy passive mode, (battery-less) and an active mode (battery-assisted), for longer range or poor antenna. With the add-on of quality set and execution of custom, RFID protocols can be attained by using direct modes with MCU-controlled bit coding and framing. Straight access to RF FrontEnd control registers permits fine-tuning of different parameters at the physical layer.

Key features

  • Differential antenna interfaces with dedicated external capacitors for antenna impedance matching
  • Supports ISO14443 A standards in both reader and card emulation mode
  • 27.56 MHz Xtal for active mode only
  • Support ISO15693 standard in reader mode
  • Sleep mode with ultra-low power consumption (<1 µA)
  • Analog front-end area 0.35 mm2
  • Integrated voltage regulators for analog and digital parts and I/O
  • Power Consumption: 20 uA(sleep mode), 80mA(active mode)
  • Wake-up with programmable RF field level
  • -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range

Benefits

  • RF possible to migrate to another RF process.
  • It will be a faster and easier solution for any semiconductor vendor who wants to jump into NFC world asap.
  • The target market is Automotive, NFC reader, printer, and so on. Also, it will be a good solution for the mobile/smartphone market.
