Near Field Communication (NFC) Reader/Writer Reference Design
Texas Instruments
This Near Field Communication (NFC) reference design provides a firmware example for the implementation of an NFC Reader/Writer application using the TRF7970A NFC transceiver. This reference design provides a number of easy-to-use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): which allow users to quickly implement NFC Reader/Writer functionality. The documentation: hardware and example C code provided will allow designers to develop NFC Reader/Writer applications with ultra-low-power MSP430/MSP432 MCUs or easily ported to another MCU of choice.
Features
- Ability to read and write NFC Type 2: 3: 4A: 4B: and 5 Tag PlatformsProvides examples of how to properly read and write NDEF-formatted RTDs for each supported NFC Tag platformIncludes an easy-to-use GUI to select between individual NFC modesOffers a flexible firmware structure that allows for configurable NDEF and custom proprietary applicationsBuilds available for MSP-EXP430F5529: MSP-EXP430F5529LP: and MSP-EXP432P401RThis reference design is tested and includes firmware (with GUI): schematics: and User's Guide
