  • Page 3: High-Level Comparison Between Pn7150 And Pn7160

    2 High-level comparison between PN7150 and PN7160 The PN7150 NFC Controller and PN7160 NFC Controller are NFC controllers designed for a quick integration into a wide range of NFC applications, such as home automation devices or mobile devices. They have been designed for a quick integration for a wide range of systems compliant with NFC standards (NFC Forum, NCI).

    PN7150 to PN7160 Migration Guidelines 3 Hardware considerations 3.1 Pin-to-pin compatibility The PN7160 NFC Controller is not pin-to-pin compatible with the PN7150 NFC Controller. When migrating from PN7150 NFC Controller to PN7160 NFC Controller, the next pin configurations that appear on Table 3...

  • Page 5: Packaging Information

    * n.c: not connected. 3.2 Packaging information PN7160 NFC Controller is available in two packaging configurations: VFBGA64 and HVQFN40, while PN7150 NFC Controller is only available in HVQFN40. PN7150 NFC Controller and PN7160 NFC Controller are not pin-to-pin compatible in HVQFN40 package version.

  • Page 6: Nfc Antenna Matching

    PN7150 to PN7160 Migration Guidelines 3.3 NFC antenna matching The NFC matching circuit architecture of the PN7150 NFC Controller and the PN7160 NFC Controller are the same; however, two things have to be considered: 1. As the PN7160 NFC Controller allows higher TX output current than the PN7150, the matching impedance value to be targeted can be lower for the PN7160 compared to the PN7150.

  • Page 14: Kernel Driver

    4.2, the original NCI 1.0-based Linux NFC stack must be modified with the new source code to fully support NCI 2.0-based NFC controllers. The PN7160 NFC Controller supports NFC controller firmware update, which is not supported by the PN7150 NFC Controller, and, therefore, will also need to be added.

    4.3 Android software considerations This section details how to migrate an Android platform project that integrates support for the PN7150 NFC Controller to the PN7160 NFC Controller. [10] provide full guidelines for the integration of PN7150 and PN7160 NXP NCI-based NFC controllers to an Android platform and, therefore, these details will not be covered in this document.

  • Page 16: Kernel Driver

    The Android NFC stack uses NFC kernel driver to communicate with the NCI-based NFC controller. Legacy PN7150 NFC Controller I2C kernel driver should be valid to communicate with the PN7160 NFC Controller; however it is highly recommended to update the full NFC kernel driver to integrate the latest available I2C kernel driver version and to support the SPI interface.
