This Near Field Communications (NFC) reference design outlines the required components, layout considerations, and provides firmware examples to implement NFC into applications for extracting NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) data from transponders, implement a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connection or emulate an NFC transponder. NFC simplifies BluetoothTM and WiFi connections, enables interactive consumer displays, and standardizes the format of data transfers. The documentation, hardware, and example code provided allows the designer to quickly implement NFC functionality with an MSP430 or other MCU of choice. This design is based on the TRF7970ATB design.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
