Are their published tools to help transition from the CLR553 to PN5180?

From a hardware design, can the PN5180 be a "drop-in" (pin compatible) replacement for the CLRC663)?

Is the software architecture (drivers, library -- the way an MCU communicates with the Frontend) different between the two chips?

What kind of support and tools does NXP provide to ease the migration?

Does NXP publish a reference design for the PN5180?

Hi Vincent,

CLRC663 and PN5180 are both high performance multiple protocol NFC frontend, but PN5180 supports more protocol than CLRC663, and they are not pin to pin compatible, CLRC663 supports UART, SPI and I2C host interfaces, but PN5180 just supports SPI host interface. so their driver are different, and there is no migration tool for these two devices.

If you start to develop based on PN5180, we have a ref design for this part, please kindly refer to http://cache.nxp.com/documents/application_note/AN11744.pdf for more details.

Wish it helps.

Have a great day,
Kan Li
