PN7160 NFC Controller

NXP's highly integrated PN7160 NFC controller simplifies the development of any application, including those running Android or Linux OS

Image of NXP's PN7160 NFC ControllerDesigned for quick integration into a very wide range of systems, NXP's PN7160 supports all NFC forum modes, includes drivers for Android and Linux, and supports RTOS and no OS applications. Embedded NFC firmware reduces the need for host interactions and minimizes code size, making design-in much easier. Available with an I2C or SPI interface, the PN7160 is compatible with popular MCUs, including LPC, Kinetic, and i.MX. The PN7161 supports all features of PN7160 plus Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) by Apple.
