NXP Semiconductors N.V. introduced the PN7120 to accelerate NFC adoption in the Internet of Things (IoT). The PN7120 helps create innovative NFC solutions and enables fast exploration of new applications and use cases for IoT and the Smart Home, including a variety of appliances and consumer electronics such as home network gateways and routers, Set-Top-Boxes (STBs), audio devices, printers, gaming consoles and more.
Today, many Smart Home devices are based on Linux or Android. The integrated solution includes all RF communication protocols for NFC, NFC controller interface (NCI) and Linux and Android drivers to ease development.
“The IoT market is not quantified in millions of things, but tens of billions – all of which need to be connected with one another. This is where NFC comes in,” said Rafael Sotomayor, SVP, NXP Semiconductors. “We want to make it easy for developers to deliver innovative applications with NFC capabilities regardless of what development platform they may be working with.”
The PN7120 features an NFC contactless reader IC and embedded firmware with integrated communication protocols relevant for NFC.
