Equipped with embedded firmware and accompanied by Linux and Android drivers, this compact, fully NFC Forum-compliant controller enables easy integration of NFC functionality into OS-based systems via the NCI interface.
Our latest NFC controller comes with integrated firmware including communication protocols to support Read/Write, Peer-to-Peer, and Card Emulation mode.
PN7120 furthermore supports NFC Type 1/2/3/4/5 Tags as well as the NFC controller interface (NCI) for easy integration into OS-based systems. The compact, full NFC Forum-compliant controller comes with a Single Board Computer Demo Kit, including interface boards to Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone, as well as a full set of documentation and software.
PN7120 is ideal to integrate NFC into smart home and consumer applications, no matter if this is Linux, Android or RTOS environment.

There is a development kit (singe board computing kit) available for PN7120: OM5577/PN7120S
PN7120S is a flexible and easy-to-use Single Board Computer (SBC) Kit for the PN7120 NFC Controller. It contains a PN7120 NFC Controller Board, a Raspberry Pi Interface Board[AS1] , a BeagleBone Interface Board, as well as an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag in form of a MIFARE UL Card. It enables the development of an NFC solution based on PN7120 in a Linux or Android environment, and any platform.
The development board is available via NXP's eDemo.
