2. General description
Best plug´n play and high-performance full NFC solution PN7150 is a full NFC controller
solution with integrated firmware and NCI interface designed for contactless
communication at 13.56 MHz. It is compatible with NFC forum requirements.
PN7150 is designed based on learnings from previous NXP NFC device generation. It is
the ideal solution for rapidly integrating NFC technology in any application, especially
those running O/S environment like Linux and Android, reducing Bill of Material (BOM)
size and cost, thanks to:
• Full NFC forum compliancy (see Ref. 1) with small form factor antenna
• Embedded NFC firmware providing all NFC protocols as pre-integrated feature
• Direct connection to the main host or microcontroller, by I²C-bus physical and NCI
protocol
• Ultra-low power consumption in polling loop mode
• Highly efficient integrated power management unit (PMU) allowing direct supply from
a battery
PN7150 embeds a new generation RF contactless front-end supporting various
transmission modes according to NFCIP-1 and NFCIP-2, ISO/IEC14443, ISO/IEC 15693,
MIFARE and FeliCa specifications. It embeds an ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller core
loaded with the integrated firmware supporting the NCI 1.0 host communication. It also
allows to provide a higher output power by supplying the transmitter output stage from
3.0 V to 4.75 V.
The contactless front-end design brings a major performance step-up with on one hand a
higher sensitivity and on the other hand the capability to work in active load modulation
communication enabling the support of small antenna form factor.
Supported transmission modes are listed in Figure 1. For contactless card functionality,
the PN7150 can act autonomously if previously configured by the host in such a manner.
