NXP's NTAG 5 product family is an NFC performance enhancer consisting of three product variants: switch, link, and boost. This product family offers configuration of PWM over NFC, an I²C master interface, direct access to sensors without the need for an MCU, and the possibility of a tiny antenna for small devices. These products offer longer range, scalable security, and an I²C slave interface as well. They are fully compliant with NFC forum specifications and are based on the ISO/IEC 15693 standard.
This NFC bridge uses active load modulation (ALM) to deliver robust and reliable communication with NFC phones and devices, bringing a greater level of convenience to tiny devices.
