BoostedNFC™ analog front end for mobile payment and ticketing

ams’ AS39230 boostedNFC™ IC employs Active Load Modulation to drastically improve NFC performance in challenging environments such as mobile and wearables. 

By replacing the Analog Front End of existing NFC controllers, AS39230 allows for flexible and low cost design by operating with antenna sizes 20 times smaller than competing solution, or even with metal casing as resonant antenna. Our unique implementation of Active Load Modulation brings NFC user experience to a whole new level, while reducing footprint with no compromise in compliance and interoperability.

Key Features

  • ISO14443 type A/B and FeliCa up to 424kb/s
  • Active peer to peer bit rates 212kb/s, 424kb/s according to ISO18092
  • Digital interface to standard NFC controller or connectivity combo IC
  • Automatic output power adjustment
 

Key Benefits

 
  • EMVCo and ISO compliance with antennas down to 100mm² or less
  • Considerable reduction in antenna cost, virtually to 0 when metal casing is used
  • Best-in-class interoperability over reader infrastructure variances
  • NFC Controller agnostic
