Alternative NFC MCU

[TheOrangeTeaFrog]

I am currently using the LCP8N04 as it is a lower power MCU with NFC support. Does NXP have any other chips which I should consider? I have tried browsing the product catalogue but it is hard to differentiate between MCUs with NFC support and components which are intended to act as an NFC reader/write in conjunction with a dedicated MCU.

Hello @TheOrangeTeaFrog, Good Day!

Thank you very much for your interest in our products.

Depending on your application, an alternative to the LPC8N04 could be the NHS3152 which includes similar features, such as the same NFC/RFID ISO 14443 type A interface as the LPC8N04 and the same reduced power modes (Sleep, Deep-sleep and Deep power-down and Battery-off). Opposite to the LPC, it does not support SPI communication.

We offer some Evaluation and Development Boards as well along with an NHS3152 Software Development Kit to be used with MCUXpresso IDE for developing applications with the NHS3152.

For further information regarding this chip and all of its features, you may refer to the documentation in the SDK package, available for download at the product page.

My best regards,
Daniel
