STS3922：boostedNFC for ST31

The STS3921 and STS3922 products are a family of advanced analog front-ends with ST’s unique boostedNFC technology. They are ideal for applications that require the card emulation functionality, but are environmentally challenged or have limited space for the antenna. This solution allows for a simpler design than the conventional NFC controller-based architecture, and occupies a board footprint around one-third smaller.

The boostedNFC technology from ST overcomes the main difficulties seen in these applications when using passive load modulation through generating a tag response with active transmission. This allows for tag-to-reader communication at coupling factors that are one order of magnitude lower than conventional methods. When compared to passive NFC implementations, boostedNFC increases the usable operating volume by up to 900%. The consumer’s experience during contactless transactions is easy, quick, and completely reliable, whether for payments in shops, ticketing in metro/urban mass transit infrastructures, or access control.

boostedNFC products are compliant with the ISO 14443 and FeliCa™ protocols. An onboard EEPROM allows optimal operational settings to be selected and programmed by the customer.

The STS3921 is provided in 20-bump wafer-length Chip-scale package (WLCSP20) whereas the STS3922 are delivered as bare dice.

In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers this device in different grades of ECOPACK^®packages, depending on their level of environmental compliance. ECOPACK^®specifications, grade definitions and product status are available at: www.st.com. ECOPACK^®is an ST trademark.
