NFC USE CASES - PARAMETRIZATION & DIAGNOSIS

• Any NFC-enabled phone or tablet can serve as a temporary touchscreen for your product, enabling sophisticated interactions and configurability at little additional cost. Your product can be smaller, lighter, more rugged, and less expensive to produce – yet easier to use. What’s more, NFC works with sealed devices, so sensors operating in difficult environments can easily interact with the control unit. Energy harvesting uses power from the active reader device, so unlike Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with NFC the device doesn’t need a battery to send or receive information. Systems with a battery can even remain in sleep mode while being read.
  NFC advantages over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection:
  * Device can be unpowered
  * No ambiguities - the device you tap is the device you connect to
  * Inherent security due to short range and additional password and AES key option
  * Very cost effective
• Which product?

• MFRC630 + NTAG I²C plus	SLRC610 + NTAG 5 Family
  With the high-performance, energy-harvesting connected tag NTAG I²C plus on board, your device can be read, measured, or made interactive – even if it doesn’t have a power source. To embed also the reader function into an electronic device, use the MFRC630 reader frontend to read data from or write data to the NTAG I²C plus.	NTAG 5 boost will give you a great read range with very small antennas. It can even work without an onboard MCU further reducing the BoM. Select NTAG 5 link when you need an I²C master interface, for example when reading out sensors. NTAG 5 switch which is designed to ease the configuration of GPIOS or PMW. The SLRC610 NFC frontend creates a perfect match with the new NTAG 5 Family.
