STMicroelectronics and Securitag Assembly Group (SAG), a leading supplier of RFID transponders, announced a tiny NFC Ferrite Tag that uses STMicroelectronics’ ST25 NFC tag IC for IoT (Internet of Things) data-transmission applications.
Small, light and thin, the NFC Ferrite Tag can be surface-mounted during production through the metal pad that can be directly soldered to the PCB surface. In addition, the NFC Ferrite tag can function when placed on metal products because of its anti-metallic interference characteristics. These features make it highly attractive for IoT data-transmission applications in consumer electronics, wearable devices, and smart healthcare products.
Along with its small dimensions (4.9 x 3.0 x 2.5 mm), the NFC Ferrite Tag with an embedded antenna demonstrates outstanding RF performance, benefiting from ST’s ST25TA02K NFC Forum Type 4 tag IC with built-in NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) message support.
Manufacturers will ship as many as 2.2 billion NFC-enabled smartphones by 2020 according to IHS Technology (Market Insight, NFC-enabled Handset Shipments to Reach Three-Quarters of a Billion in 2015, June 2015). The growing momentum for NFC is expected to drive new IoT and wireless applications in the Smart Home, Smart Healthcare/ Medical, Smart City, and Smart Factory.
