STMicroelectronics completes NFC Portfolio
STMicroelectronics has unveiled its Near Field Communications (NFC) controller IC, the ST21NFCA, supports all NFC use cases, and is able to coordinate multiple NFC secure apps stored in several secure locations, such as the SWP-SIM and SWP-microSD Card or Embedded Secure Element.
"Our complete and diversified NFC portfolio now gives us the unique ability to provide a technical answer to all possible NFC business models. This will maximize freedom for customers to integrate their chosen selection of applications into a smartphone or any mobile device, and thereby deliver innovative contactless services quickly and easily for end-users," said Laurent Degauque, Embedded Security Business Line Manager, Secure Microcontrollers Division, STMicroelectronics.
These Secure Element ICs can be used in all possible form factors, covering SWP-SIM, SWP-MicroSD, Embedded Secure Element, and an advanced System in Package solution that stacks the Secure Element together with the NFC controller. The entire STMicroelectronics Secure Element portfolio comes with optional support for MIFARE ClassicTM and MIFARE DESFireTM technologies.
