High-power near field communication front-end IC

NXP Semiconductors' high-power near field communication (NFC) front-end PN5180 IC is now available from Mouser. The device implements the RF functionality and all low-level functionality to realize an NFC Forum-compliant reader. The PN5180 ensures maximum interoperability for the next generation of NFC enabled mobile phones. It is optimized for point of sales terminal applications. The PN5180 supports the vicinity protocol according to ISO/IEC 15693 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 MODE 3. It implements a configurable temperature sensor. It allows different supply voltages for NFC drivers, internal supply and host interface providing flexibility. Typical applications include payment terminals, physical-access readers, eGov readers, industrial and other high-performance readers.
