NXP Semiconductors PN5190 NFC Frontend
NXP Semiconductors PN5190 NFC Frontend is a highly integrated Near-Field Communication (NFC) forum-compliant Frontend IC for contactless communication at 13.56MHz. The PN5190 is well-suited for use in challenging RF and space-constrained environments such as POS terminals or e-Locks. The device features strong RF output power, adaptive wave-shaping features, and high receiver sensitivity, all while using efficient power-saving modes to extend battery life.
The high output power and receiver sensitivity of the PN5190 enables a wide communication range even with a small antenna, resulting in high performance in space-constrained designs. The wide temperature range of the device allows operation in industrial and outdoor environments. The robust RF interface and data rates up to 848kbit/s further meet the needs of eGov readers and application scenarios that rely on fast device-to-device communication. When used with ISO/IEC 15693 devices, the PN5190 Frontend provides fast sensor read-outs or firmware updates of up to 212kbit/s.
The PN5190 also delivers excellent noise immunity, even in applications that experience external disturbances to the RF field. The sophisticated analog power-supply design of the device further reduces receiver-signal disturbances, yielding a receiver sensitivity of 0.3mV rms. Adaptive Receiver Control (ARC) adjusts the receiver sensitivity to deliver better reception performance.
To simplify design, the PN5190 Frontend communicates with all FeliCa® and MIFARE® card products and implements CRYPTO in hardware for read/write of all MIFARE-based cards. IP licensing rights for NXP ISO/IEC 14443-A, Innovatron ISO/IEC 14443-B, and NXP MIFARE products are already included in the device.
The NXP Semiconductors PN5190 NFC Frontend is offered in VFBGA-64 and HVQFN-40 packages and features a wide -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range.
