The CN7160 Chip

CN7160 is a MCU with NFC function that supports all modes compliant with the NFC Forum, including Reader/Writer, Card Emulation, and P2P modes. 


CN7160 incorporates  an RF front-end module that supports both passive and active load modulation, enabling the use of extremely small antennas in mobile or wearable devices. It also includes a built-in 256K-byte Flash memory, which can reduce the need for host interaction and minimize code size, greatly simplifying the design process. Furthermore, it is equipped with a built-in high-speed SPI interface compatible with mainstream MCUs.
