In parallel to traditional NFC Forum or point-of-sale (POS) operations, the PTX130R Android SW stack (based on NCI 2.x) also supports the Soft POS (POS terminals without secure MCU) and Apple VAS/ECP functionalities (extension module) with the capability to seamlessly switch between them.

The PTX130R features a very high RF output power of up to 2 W at the antenna, providing robust interoperability and enabling OEMs to achieve compliance with the strict requirements of the EMVCo standard for POS or Soft POS applications, even when operating via an NFC antenna that is placed close to or behind a noisy display.

Features

NCI-compatible NFC controller with SW SDK (AIS) integrated into the latest Android OS
AIS SDK with fully integrated EMVCo PCD protocol into Android HAL for Soft POS application
Seamless switching between EMVCo (Soft POS) and NFC Forum operation
High RF performance: 2 W output power directly on the antenna and -80 dBc of receiver sensitivity
Single solution for multiple applications with the support of Android, Linux, RTOS, and bare metal OS
Faster standards and regulatory compliances, as well as easier manufacturing for a shorter time-to-market

Applications

Soft POS
Smart/MPOS
Industrial PDAs
