NFC technology• Near Field Communication, a short range wireless

technology operating at 13.56MHz

• Interactive and zero power, enabling convenient connection to the Internet of Things It is not just for payment !

• Fast growing deployment in Mobile• 2014 will see 500 Million NFC handsets in use (source

ABIResearch)

• By 2015, 50% of smartphones compatible with NFC (source Gartner)

Antenna and RF Performance

• Pros• Antenna closer to the outside• Better range• 2-layer PCB good enough

• Cons• Until the antenna is

connected, no RF communication possible

• Pros• Small footprint• Standard component (4.7µH)• Small design effort

• Cons• Limited range• Sensitive to reader-antenna

orientation

• Pros• Integrated and compact

solution

• Cons• Probably less space available

on the PCB for a large antenna. Read range may then be smaller

FW Implementation for M24SR• Low overhead to support the protocol

• The ISO14443 is inside the NFC link component (M24SR)

• The data are in the EEPROM and can be managed via NDEF files

• No Microcontroller Processing (MIPs) overhead due to polling of information: the NFC link component (M24LR) warns the MCU when data refreshes the NFC/RFID link

• => FW implementation is quasi transparent ( only API of I2C)
