Plug-and-play NFC portfolio expanded

Jul 05, 2016 / by Grid Connect Team

The plug-and-play Near Field Communication (NFC) portfolio developed by NXP has officially been expanded. The upgraded portfolio has been extended with the Arduino add-on boards (Kinetis, LPCXpresso, i.MX, and QorIQ), allowing for faster NFC prototyping and expansion. In addition to this, the release of the PN7150 NFC controller will make it a much simpler process to integrate NFC technology within electronic devices.

The new and innovative PN1750 is perfectly equipped for several applications including home network gateways, set-top boxes, routers, and more. Adam Justice, Vice President of Grid Connect, describes the significance of the plug-and-play NFC portfolio expansion; “NXP’s robust portfolio of NFC controllers enable an easy integration of NFC technology to consumer devices, while instantly making them smarter, more intuitive and easy to use.” This technology will make it much easier for consumers to install their smart home devices.
