NFC Tag; an important component for IoT

Payments, banking, cashless shopping and access control are currently major areas of growth and these are set to become even more specialized than they are at the moment. NFC a wireless communications technology that allows two devices to communicate when they are in close proximity, has huge scope in India - as from Indian consumer perspective people love sharing. Soon NFC it will contribute to connecting objects to the "Internet of Things", which will change the way consumers interact with those connected things. ST aims to drive this change with its new M24SR family of “dynamic NFC tag” memories that allow any device, including printers, fitness watches, microwave ovens, smart electricity meters or digital cameras to feature built-in NFC connectivity, thereby allowing it to communicate with a smartphone that almost touches it. In the M24SR family, the NVM is implemented as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) in sizes ranging from 2 to 64Kbit, covering all current market demands. ST is the world leader in EEPROM technology and the world’s largest supplier of EEPROM memories. The wireless interface is fully compatible with the ISO14443-A protocol that enables data rates up to 106kb/s, while the I2C interface operates at speeds up to 1MHz, ensuring fast data transfer between the smartphone and the target equipment. The EEPROM memory bank is...
