NXP Semiconductors NTP5210 NTAG® 5 Switch
NXP Semiconductors NTP5210 NTAG® 5 Switch is an NFC Forum-compliant PWM and GPIO bridge that can eliminate the need for a microcontroller in selected gaming and lighting applications and other cost-sensitive designs for added functionality, connectivity, and efficiency with increased cost-effectiveness. Operating at 13.56MHz, the NXP NTP5210 NTAG 5 Switch can be read by any NFC-enabled device at close range, and by an ISO/IEC 15693-enabled industrial reader over a longer range. The easy configuration supports a range of control functions, and the integrated originality check lets the user verify an end product’s authenticity.
The NTP5210 NTAG 5 Switch implements multiplexed pins, offering General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) as well as NFC field detection. The characteristics of the PWM or GPIO signal can be configured through the NFC interface. These features can be used to switch on/off and control motor speed or LED brightness.
Support for ISO/IEC 15693 lets the NTP5210 NTAG 5 link communicate securely with powerful industrial readers, at a range of up to 60cm, and with NFC-enabled devices within a proximity range. This duality makes it possible for the device to be calibrated and parameterized automatically while in the factory and then, when put to use in the field, safely communicate with contactless devices such as NFC-enabled smartphones.
The NTP5210 includes 512 bytes of memory, which can be divided into three areas. Each area can use a different protection level, varying from no protection to 32-bit and 64-bit, password-protected read/write access. Different parties in the value chain can have their own dedicated memory areas for storing access data.
The NTAG 5 Switch comes with pre-programmed proof-of-origin functionality to verify authenticity. The reprogrammable Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) originality signature can be locked or reprogrammed by the customer.
The NTP5210 harvests energy from NFC Readers, enabling it to operate without a battery. And, with its configurable output voltage, it can power a circuit, a sensor network, or charge a supercapacitor wirelessly.
The NTP5210 NTAG 5 Switch is offered in SO8, TSSOP16, and XQFN16 packages for design flexibility.
