Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RF430CL330H, TRF7970A
We tried emailing TI help with our query but they directed us here.
Our team was looking at your (TI's) NFC ICs: TRF7960A and RF430CL330H.
TRF79 has many features but needs external matching. RF43 connects directly to the antenna but has fewer protocols. We don't want to get much into matching and Smith's chart. (but we can do it if the IC has very good features)
Are the number of protocols supported really important?
We need NFC to help in Bluetooth and WiFi pairing for IoT applications. We also plan to keep NFC so that we can add Apple, Samsung Pay and other payment options available on our device in the future.
We also want to use the NFC for wireless powering of our device (not charging, we don't plan to use a battery) like the NXP PN532.
We need support on wireless payment and power. Also which protocols are enough for our above needs?
