Renesas Electronics PTX130R Multi-Protocol NFC Forum Compliant Reader

Renesas Electronics PTX130R Multi-Protocol NFC Forum Compliant Reader is highly integrated for contactless communication with increased vital performance parameters such as output power and RX sensitivity (-80dBc). The PTX130R features native support for the Android™ operating environment. The device is ideal for adding NFC communications capability to embedded computing systems built around a touchscreen display.

The Renesas PTX130R Multi-Protocol NFC Forum Compliant Reader provides a modular soft controller architecture that implements integrated NFC functionalities into a split stack solution. This solution offers time-critical operations running on the on-chip HW accelerator, and the rest of the NFC logic is in the host controller to carry out applications for POS, IOT readers, and Android devices.
