ams AS3953 NFC Interface Tag IC

Please note, the AS3953 antenna demo tag must be used in conjunction with a microcontroller (MCU) and connected via SPI. Consider the below options to start configuring the AS3953 antenna tag. Options: - Use the MCU from complete development kit that can be ordered here: www.ams.com/AS3953-DK-TAGS - Download the development resources and build your own copy of the PIC 24 MCU board included in our development kit. - Connect the AS3953 NFiC Antenna Tag to any MCU in your existing system. In case a different MCU than PIC24 is being used, the existing firmware of our development kit must be ported. The complete sources of our AS3953 development kit can be downloaded as a package clicking on "Documents" below.

The AS3953 Demo Kit TAGS is all what you need to evaluate NFiC solutions. The kit includes near field interface antenna tags, a USB controller board, connectors and related software. The graphical user interface (GUI) enables you to quickly evaluate and get familiar to the AS3953 NFiC. It allows you to read/write the internal EEPROM as well as the configuration of the AS3953. The GUI also makes it possible to interact with an NFC enabled phone. The phone app can be found here: Android NFC, Windows 8 Kit Content: - AS3953 antenna tags - USB/SPI interface board - USB cable - USB stick with documentation

The purpose of the demonstrator is to show all the features and functionalities of the AS3955. The demonstration works with an Android Smartphone or NFC Reader and an AS3955 tag. The main features of the demonstration are: - Demonstration of a Tag 2 Type (T2T) operation - Demonstration of a Tag 4 Type (T4T) operation - File transfer operation - Energy Harvesting The Evaluation kit allows you to supply all components by the PC USB port. No external supply or battery is needed. Except the USB cable (include) no wiring is needed. This allows a fast and comfortable evaluation of the AS3955. Compatibility This demo works with - AS3955 GP GUI version 4.0.8 or higher and FW 4.0.8 or higher - Android version 5.0 or higher

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.
