New Module Makes it Easy to Incorporate NFC as a Smart Add-on for Almost any Electronic Device;
“The new plug-and-play NFC click board™ powered by NXP enables the full range of NFC application for Hexiwear devices. It provides the most streamlined and easy way to take advantage of NFC infrastructure already in place," said Dr.
The NFC click Module for Hexiwear removes the complexity of NFC integration by enabling developers to easily leverage the full potential of NFC in Card Emulation, Read/Write and Peer-to-Peer Modes with NXP’s PN7120 chip, which is ideal for designing prototypes intended to interact with existing NFC infrastructure or prototype new ideas. All necessary NFC drivers are included in the Hexiwear SDK.
NFC click is also compatible with other development platforms, including NXP’s Freedom development boards, which are small, low power, cost-effective evaluation and development platforms for quick application prototyping and demonstration of Kinetis MCU families.
“NXP believes in the market potential that our developer partners will bring with their innovative mindset and the new NFC click module is aimed at providing the tools necessary to quickly bring their ideas for smart NFC interactions to life,” said
