STMicroelectronics has combined its ST25R3911B NFC reader IC and STM32L476RE ultra-low-power microcontroller in a Discovery kit, ST25R3911B-DISCO , accelerating time to market for contactless applications that deliver superior communication range , speed and energy efficiency with simplified design and reduced bill of materials.
The board provides a reference for RF circuit layout, and with the included STM32 MCU software, can be quickly up and running as an HF reader or NFC initiator.
At the heart of ST’s new discovery kit is the ST25R3911B NFC reader IC that offers differentiating features to help simplify design-in and streamline manufacturing. Capacitive wake-up allows detecting card presence while drawing less than 5µA in sleep mode to preserve battery energy in equipment such as hotel card- key readers.
