PN5180 High-Power NFC Frontend IC Solution

Offering high output power, dynamic power control (DPC), and multiple power-saving features, NXP's advanced, multi-protocol NFC frontend delivers efficient, robust, and reliable operation, even in harsh conditions.

The PN5180 is supported by advanced design tools that make it easier than ever to develop and finalize a design. The NFC cockpit, an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), streamlines development by separating the tasks associated with hardware and software. For example, it supports software-independent tuning of the antenna’s register settings, so hardware designers can optimize antenna parameters while software designers work on other aspects of the system.

NXP's OM25180FDK is a flexible and easy-to-use frontend development kit for PN5180. It contains a PNEV5180B board with 65 mm x 65 mm antenna optimized for reader and EMVCo applications, a 30 mm x 50 mm antenna with matching components optimized for NFC applications, three small antenna matching PCBs (approximately 30 mm x 50 mm sized) for implementation of a custom antenna matching circuit, an NFC sample card based on NTAG216F (NFC Forum Type 2 Tag) and 10 PN5180 samples in HVQFN package.
