AS3953A
14443 High Speed Passive Tag Interface
1 General Description
The AS3953A NFC interface IC (NFiC) delivers low cost, ultra low power NFC forum functionality to multiple different applications. The AS3953A is a analog front-end with integrated 14443A data framing and SPI interface. It is designed to create a fast data link between an ISO 14443A reader device (PCD) and a microcontroller. The AS3953A is Passively powered meaning that it can be supplied from the PCD magnetic field, eliminating the need of a continual external supply. This makes the AS3953A perfect for wireless communication to a low-power battery powered device.
The AS3953A is used with an appropriate antenna coil connected to the terminals LC1 and LC2, and behaves as a normal passive ISO 144443A tag (PICC).
