NFC frontend solutions are reader IC’s that require the use of an external microcontroller or host processor. They are the cost effective way to add NFC to a system. They work flawlessly with the firmware in NXP’s NFC reader libraries, and are the best choice when memory size, low power, and cost optimization are a first priority. Figure 1: NFC Controller Solution, PN7120 NFC Controller solutions combine an NFC radio frontend with an advanced 32-bit microcontroller. The controller solution is made for compact systems. NXP’s product portfolio include solutions with integrated firmware for an easy, standardized interface, or a freely programmable microcontroller with the ability to load entire, fully-custom applications. NXP not only offers reader IC’s, but NFC tag IC’s as well. The NTAG family provides both, a passive RF and I2C interface. The NTAG family complies with the NFC Forum. Some tags have additional interfaces like field detection, energy harvesting or I²C serial interface to connect to your embedded system. NTAG I²C products are an excellent choice for applications that require consumer interactive marketing and embedded electronics.

Designed to simulate an NTAG I2C tag chip in an embedded electronics system, the kit allows users to demonstrate basic principles of dual interface. The kit enables users to not only investigate the capabilities of the NTAG I2C chip through the various demonstrations, but also develop and test their own applications. The kit is centered on a LPC 812 microcontroller with a temperature sensor, I2C serial bus connector and JTAG debug connector. Combined together, they demonstrate dual interface communication (I2C/NFC), monitor energy harvesting and provide a localized application development environment. The kit includes a main board, a class 5 antenna board and is supported by an Android app that is available on the Google Playstore free of charge. TECHNOLOGY | NFC 17 GAINSPAN IOT SOLUTIONS OFFER FLEXIBILITY TO WORK OPTIMALLY WITH ANY MCU OR WITHOUT MCUS GainSpan delivers the most complete, flexible and powerful connectivity solutions for the IoT market. One of the keys to these capabilities is the company’s suite of software running on its Wi-Fi Chip—embedded, Serialto-Wi-Fi (S2W) and IP-to-Wi-Fi (IP2W)—which gives customers the flexibility to work optimally with any MCU or without MCUs. Whether your design is a simple “hostless” smartplug or a Gateway or device with a complex display, GainSpan provides a very quick path to development and market at every MCU performance level. Figure 1: GS2011MIZ-shield 802.11 b/g/n Shield Compatible with Arduino form factor APPLICATIONS Hostless: • Smartplug • Sensor node • Weight scale Small Host: • Doorbells • Video surveillance cameras • Appliances Big Host: • Thermostats • Gateways BENEFITS • Quick and easy way to add Wi-Fi connectivity to billions of devices • Flexible solutions optimized to accommodate varying MCU capabilities • Quick path to development and market Today, GainSpan offers three development options—a hostless (no MCU) solution and two hosted solutions. One hosted solution, which uses S2W, is designed for projects with 8- or 16-bit MCUs or low-cost 32-bit platforms such as the Renesas RL78 or RX family and equivalent from other MCU vendors. The other hosted solution, using IP2W, is designed for high-end and Linux platforms such as the RZ family from Renesas, but could also be used with the higher end RX family of products. For hostless solutions, the full networking stack and customer application run on the GS2000. GainSpan embedded software provides all the building blocks needed for low power IoT devices from sensors to battery-powered video cameras. It allows customers to develop custom applications on the GS2000 SoC, through a comprehensive yet simple set of APIs. For S2W hosted solutions, the full networking stack and services including HTTP(s)/Web server, XML parser and Bonjour, are running on the GS2000 and hence offloading the host microcontroller. All that is required are simple AT commands – for configuration and data communications as well as for scanning and reporting SSID’s, power management and over the air firmware upgrade. For IP2W hosted solutions, the networking stack (e.g., the Micrium stack or the native Linux networking stack) runs on the host processor. GainSpan’s software provides a quick and easy way to add Wi-Fi capability to billions of devices, turning them into connected devices.

TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY || BLUETOOTH |ANTENNAS CELLULAR || WI-FI NFC 22 STMICROELECTRONICS SPWF01SX WI-FI MODULES FOR IOT APPLICATIONS The SPWF01SA and the SPWF01SC intelligent Wi-Fi modules represent a plug and play and standalone 802.11 b/g/n solution for easy integration of wireless Internet connectivity features into existing or new products. Configured around a single-chip 802.11 transceiver with integrated PA and an STM32 microcontroller with an extensive GPIO suite, the modules also incorporate timing clocks and voltage regulators. Two different options exist based on the integrated Flash memory.   The SPWF01Sx.1y orderable parts integrate 1.5 MB of Flash, while The SPWF01Sx.2y orderable parts integrate 512 kB of Flash. The module is available either configured with an embedded micro 2.45 GHz ISM band antenna (SPWF01SA), or with a U.FL connector for external antenna connection (SPWF01SC). With low power consumption and small form factor, the modules are ideal for fixed and mobile wireless applications, as well as challenging batteryoperated applications.
