NTAG^® 5 switch: NFC Forum-compliant PWM GPIO bridge for lighting and gaming

Overview

NXP’s NTAG 5 switch lets designers eliminate the need of an MCU in various gaming and lighting applications, as well as in other cost-sensitive designs, for added functionality, connectivity, and efficiency at a lower cost. Operating at 13.56 MHz, it is an NFC Forum-compliant contactless tag.

It offers Read Range Duality with two-way communication links with NFC-enabled device at close range, and by powerful industrial reader over a longer range, which makes it possible to be calibrated and parameterized automatically while in the factory. Easy configuration supports a range of control functions, and the onboard originality check lets the users verify the end-product’s authenticity.
