Designed for quick integration into a very wide range of systems, the PN7160 supports all NFC Forum modes, includes drivers for Android, Linux and Windows, and supports RTOS and no OS applications (PN7160 does not allow to achieve EMVCo compliancy. Use PN5180, PN5190 or PN7220 instead). Embedded NFC firmware reduces the need for host interactions and minimizes code size, making design-in that much easier. Available with an I²C or SPI interface, the PN7160 is compatible with popular MCUs, including LPC, Kinetis and i.MX. The PN7161 version adds support for Apple ECP.
Since Android 12, P2P functionality is not included by default in the main package. Moreover, this functionality has never been supported by iOS devices. P2P is slowly removed from the market. At NFC Forum, the P2P functionality is not available for the Reader device class since CR13 and NXP do not expect any significant changes on the defined functionality. For this reason NXP plans to stop the maintenance of the P2P functionality on the NFC Reader products from 2024 onwards. The existing product versions (hardware and supporting software) which include the P2P support will still be available.
The product PN7160, PN7161 is not intended and designed for applications, which require EMVCo3.x analog and digital compliancy. For EMVCo3.x compliant applications, the products PN5180, PN5190 and PN7220 are recommended.
