NXP Semiconductors PN7160 & PN7161 NFC Plug & Play Controllers

NXP Semiconductor PN7160 and PN7161 NFC Plug and Play Controllers are designed for quick integration into an extensive range of systems. The PN7160 supports all NFC Forum modes, including Android and Linux drivers, and supports RTOS and no OS applications. Embedded NFC firmware reduces the need for host interactions and minimizes code size, making design-in that much easier. Available with an I²C or SPI interface, the PN7160 is compatible with popular MCUs, including LPC, Kinetis, and i.MX. The PN7161 variant adds support for Apple ECP. NXP Semiconductors PN7160 and PN7161 NFC Plug and Play Controllers are available in HVQFN40 and VFBGA64 package types.
