Hi,
We're having trouble deciding between PN5190 and PN7160.
We're looking at building an NFC reader for access systems, and want to support Mifare and ISO/IEC 14443. The specifications are very similar between above chipsets apart for the fact that one is a pure NFC Frontend and the other has its own firmware / operations.
What restrictions does it imply that the PN7160 has its own firmware? Is it only the "lower layers"/transport layers of NFC or do we risk to not be able to retrieve certain information from card/tags?
Kind regards
Johan
