NXP PN5190

PN5190 - NFC Frontend supporting challenging RF environment for payment, physical access control

NXP PN5190 product sample image

As a full NFC frontend with High RF output (2W) and High receiver sensitivity, the NXP PN5190 is a robust solution for payment terminals and all readers that need to generate a strong RF field in a difficult environment. Offering full compliance with EMVCo 3.0 and NFC Forum certifications, the PN5190 simplifies design while ensuring interoperability with a broad range of smartcards and mobile phones.

The High output power and receiver sensitivity allow the design of small antennas maintaining the communication range of a larger antenna. This is especially interesting for designs with limited space for a large antenna. Efficient power-saving modes allow long battery lifetime for battery-powered systems, including residential access locks.

 

Features

  • High power (2W), feature-filled transmitter: DPC 2.0, AWC, 350 mA current over lifetime, single 3.3 V supply with max TX power
  • Robust receiver: Automatic configuration, advanced insensitivity against TFT display noise for higher RF performance
  • Ultra-low-power card detect for low average current
  • Flexible configuration of EMD handling (EMVCo 3.0, ISO) for future-proof system integration
  • Advanced RF debugging with AUX0, AUX1, AUX2 outputs
  • Integrated CTS to inspect test signals

 

Applications

  • Smart City
    • Open and Closed Loop Payments
    • POS Terminal
  • Technologies
    • Access Management
    • National ID(eID)

PNEV5190BP: Development board for PN5190

PNEV5190BP is a flexible and easy to use development board connected to a Kinetis K82 microcontroller, that supports the design cycle of Access readers and contactless EMVCo3.0 terminals based on the NFC Frontend PN5190. The board is prepared for immediate connection of the unique PC-based development tool “NFC Cockpit” from NXP, which allows the configuration and optimization of products based on NXP’s NFC IC’s without the need of programming even a single line of code.

The antenna of the board can be easily removed and replaced by a custom antenna of the target design. With this, tests like EMVCo analog for contactless payment or power consumption tests for Access applications can be quickly executed.

The NXP reader library (EMVCo3.0 L1 digital compliant) can be flashed to the K82 using the Open SDA debug interface, which is available on the board. This allows software development without the need of an additional debug interface.

The Kinetis K82 is the non-secure version of the Kinetis K81 Microcontroller. All software, which had been developed based on the PNEV5190BP can be ported with low efforts to the secure version Kinetis K81. With this approach, an EMVCo3.0 compliant POS terminal hardware can be quickly realized.

A EMVCo L2 software for the PN5190 is available from NXP partners.
