NXP promotes the diffusion of technology NFC

NXP has recently introduced the world's first controller Near Field Communication (NFC), is entirely consistent with industry standards, providing manufacturers of portable and mobile operators are fully compatible platform for the implementation of systems and services to a new generation of technology-based NFC. With the help of mobile phone users will have access to a wide range of contactless applications such as mobile payments, tickets and tickets to events, as well as exchange data directly with the SIM-card (Subscriber Identity Module) of mobile phone to facilitate the further expansion of wireless capabilities.

In accordance with the requirements of manufacturers of mobile phones, PN544 chip capable of supporting the three main architectures used for the protection of NFC-transactions, including the location of the protected elements on the UICC-card (Universal Integrated Circuit Card), SD-card inside a mobile phone (built in the protected element : PN544 chip plus Smart MX chip as compatible on the findings of the module).

The main advantages of PN544 chip include:
� Small physical size, contributing to the optimization of end-devices
� Optimized for use in devices with low energy consumption
� operates on a battery and turn off the low battery
� The read / write cards MIFARE 1K/4K
� Available options with modular, generic and platform independent software stack
� Optimized versions of antennas for the best in class RF parameters
� The ability to quickly thanks to the integration of skilled support from NXP
Samples NXP PN544 chip is currently supplied to a number of leading manufacturers of mobile phones. The availability of massive quantities scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2009 - at the same time assumed the appearance of the first commercial mobile phone with the technology of NFC.
