This page contains information on a product that is not recommended for new designs. The replacement for this product is the PN7160.

Please check the new online NFC Antenna Tool for tag and reader devices.

Optimized for fast design-in, NXP’s PN7150 NFC solutions fully comply with the NFC Forum, including Linux® and AndroidTM drivers and support NCI 1.0 host communication. Latest supported Android is Android 11. For later newer Android versions, please use PN7160.

PN7150 is the high-performance version of PN7120, the plug’n play NFC solution for easy integration into any OS environment, reducing Bill of Material (BOM) size and cost. PN71xx controllers are ideal for home-automation applications such as gateways and work seamlessly with NFC connected tags.

These NFC controllers support the most popular platforms, Raspberry Pi®, BeagleBone® Black and any boards featuring an Arduino® stackable header, including Kinetis®, LPCXpresso and i.MX boards.

PN7150B0HN is ready to support your development today, tomorrow and beyond through its longevity program. The Product Longevity program ensures a stable supply of products for your embedded designs.
