AS3956 Dynamic NFC Sensor Tag IC meets industrial-grade quality standards and provides very high reliability in mission-critical applications and in end products with a long operating lifetime.
Thanks to a high sensitivity ISO14443A frontend and high integrated resonance capacitor, AS3956 offers standalone NFC passive tag functionality in a small form factor. The AS3956 dynamic tag acts as a contactless bridge between sensors and any NFC reader, such as a smartphone, through a host microcontroller.
Fast system integration and high speed data transfer are guaranteed by the available SPI and I²C interfaces and by optimized protocols (Tunneling mode and Extended mode), allowing bidirectional communication between the device microcontroller and an external NFC compliant device or ISO14443A reader device. AS3956 is able to operate fully powered by the RF field, without any external supply. This, combined with an advanced energy harvesting feature, greatly increases battery life time or even allows battery-less designs.
