NFC Sensing

Combine sensing with NFC connectivity to create smart devices, sensor can be battery-powered to allow continuous data collection or can be used passively to measure a current condition. NTAG SmartSensor portfolio offers single-chip solutions that combine NFC connectivity with autonomous sensing, data processing and logging.

Applications

Access Management

NFC replace mechanical keys with electronic solutions, as installation costs are comparable to mechanical solutions.

Brand Protection

Our secure NFC authentication solutions are a strong, multipronged defense against counterfeits, tampering and other fraudulent attacks.

Industrial Control

NFC replaces DIP switches, service UARTs or small displays: Configure or diagnose any industrial or consumer device with your NFC smartphone, without external power.

Inventory and Supply Chain Management

An NFC tag on the consumable or accessory and an NFC reader in the main unit increases security and flexibility of products.

Loyalty

NFC gives products a voice, so brands can connect and communicate with their consumers directly at any time.

NFC-Enabled Audio Devices

NFC makes pairing simple by just tap to a Bluetooth^® speaker or headphone, and the two are securely paired automatically, without searching for a connection or typing a code.
