Near Field Communication (NFC)

Renesas is a leader in NFC technology, delivering cutting-edge solutions for secure communication, wireless power transfer, and internet of things (IoT) connectivity. As consumer and industrial applications shift toward wireless solutions, manufacturers of mobile phones, wearable devices, and smart point of sale (PoS) terminals are adopting NFC technology for its convenience, design flexibility, and long-term durability. Our innovative NFC technology powers a wide range of real-world applications, including point of sale, access control, printers, manufacturing automation, smart appliances, wearables, and medical devices. 

Sine Wave Architecture for Better Interoperability

Sine Wave Architecture for Better Interoperability

Featuring a built-in pure sine wave output, our transmitter eliminates external EMC filters and most matching components to improve NFC interoperability, reduce complexity, and boost performance.

Split Stack Architecture for Efficient Processing

Split Stack Architecture for Efficient Processing

Our NFC controller uses split-stack architecture with an embedded hardware accelerator for time-critical NFC commands—offloading the host MCU, lowering system load, and streamlining software integration for fast development.
