NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced the introduction of the easiest way to add Near Field Communications (NFC) technology to Hexiwear wearable devices with the new MikroElektronika NFC click, powered by NXP. The new module is a mikroBUS™ add-on board with a versatile NFC PN7120 IC controller from NXP that makes it easy to incorporate NFC, removing barriers to adoption. NFC click supports use cases such as pairing, personalization, extended user interface, maintenance, logical access control and other typical NFC uses for home appliances, wearables, accessories and other low-power devices in smart homes and Internet of Things (IoT). 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.
