New NFC reader enhances digital car key and center console applications

st25r3920b

The ST25R3920B is an automotive-grade NFC device supporting a peer-to-peer, NFC reader/writer and several NFC card emulation modes.

Designed for CCC (car connectivity consortium) digital key applications, the ST25R3920B accelerates the development of car access/start applications both inside and outside the cabin (door handle, center console, etc.). This new universal NFC reader offers several benefits, including a patented “Heartbeat” NFC card protection for Qi charging applications. Additionally, all core benefits like pairing can be leveraged.

Tailored for the car industry, ST’s high-performance NFC solution is ultra robust and noise tolerant. It reduces electromagnetic emissions and can operate in harsh conditions. These advanced features help fast-track the certification process.
