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

The PN7120 is a Plug-and-Play all-in-one NFC solution for easy integration into any OS environment like Linux and Android, reducing Bill of Material (BoM) size and cost. The embedded Arm® Cortex®-M0 microcontroller core is loaded with the integrated firmware, simplifying the implementation as all the NFC real-time constraints, protocols and the device discovery (polling loop) are processed internally. This part is not recommended for new designs. For new projects, we recommend the PN7160.
