Product details
Overview
PN7150B0HN/C11002E from NXP Semiconductors is a high-performance NFC controller IC with integrated Arm Cortex-M0 core and preloaded firmware supporting full NFC Forum compliance (T3T, T4T, P2P active/passive), ISO/IEC 14443A/B, ISO/IEC 15693, MIFARE Classic/DESFire, and FeliCa protocols at 13.56 MHz. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V battery supply and delivers ultra-low-power polling loop current of 150 μA (typical) for battery-powered consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PN7150B0HN/C11002E datasheet, PN7150B0HN/C11002E pinout, PN7150B0HN/C11002E application, or PN7150B0HN/C11002E equivalent, key selection considerations include I²C-based NCI 1.0 host interface compatibility, HVQFN40 package thermal performance, integrated RF front-end enabling small-form-factor antenna design, and firmware version 10.01.A0's support for Standby mode - distinguishing it from later C11006 variants.
Technical Context
The PN7150B0HN/C11002E implements an NCI 1.0-compliant host interface over I²C (High-Speed mode), with embedded firmware handling real-time polling loop execution, protocol stack management, and RF field detection autonomously. Its RF front-end supports simultaneous demodulation of multiple tag types via integrated level detector and buffered antenna drivers.
Power architecture includes a dedicated PMU with Hard Power Down, Standby, Monitor, and Active states - all configurable via VEN control and host commands. Firmware version 10.01.A0 (C11002) fully supports Standby mode during polling sequences, unlike C11006, and enables autonomous wake-up via RF field, internal timer, or I²C activity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Battery Supply Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - enables direct connection to single-cell Li-ion or alkaline batteries without external regulators. |
| Polling Loop Current | 150 μA (typical, 500 ms loop) - extends battery life in always-on NFC reader applications like remote controls or wearables. |
| Host Interface | I²C High-Speed mode (3.4 Mbps) with NCI 1.0 protocol - simplifies integration into Linux/Android systems using standard kernel drivers. |
| RF Protocols | Fully supports NFCIP-1/2, ISO/IEC 14443A/B, ISO/IEC 15693, MIFARE Classic/DESFire, FeliCa, and NFC Forum Tag Types 1–5 - eliminates need for external protocol translation. |
| Firmware Version | 10.01.A0 - initial release firmware with full Standby mode support and validated anti-tearing behavior for secure transactions. |
| Operating Temperature | −30 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and consumer environments including home appliances and set-top boxes. |
| Package | HVQFN40 (6 mm × 6 mm × 0.85 mm, SOT618-1) - thermally enhanced for sustained RF operation in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
HVQFN40 package with 40-terminal thermal-enhanced layout; exposed pad for improved heat dissipation and EMI shielding. Pin assignment optimized for minimal external components: dual antenna driver outputs (TX1/TX2), dedicated VDD(TX) and VSS(TX) rails, and integrated RF level detection circuitry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I2CADR0 / I2CADR1 | I²C address configuration inputs | Set device I²C slave address (0x28–0x2F) via pull-up/down; enables multi-device bus topology. |
| IRQ | Interrupt request output | Active-low signal alerts host of card detection, P2P link establishment, or firmware event - eliminates polling overhead. |
| VEN | Hard Power Down control input | Logic-low entry into HPD state; host-controlled power gating reduces system standby current to ≤14 μA. |
| TX1 / TX2 | Antenna driver outputs | Differential RF outputs driving tuned loop antenna; support up to 190 mA total PCD-mode current at 3 V. |
| RXP / RXN | Differential receiver inputs | High-sensitivity analog front-end inputs for passive tag response detection; enable robust operation with miniaturized antennas. |
| VDD(TX) / VSS(TX) | RF power rail | Isolated 3.0–4.75 V transmitter supply - decouples RF noise from digital logic and improves output power headroom. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Arm Cortex-M0 core | Executes full NFC stack independently - offloads host CPU and eliminates need for external microcontroller. |
| NCI 1.0 host interface | Standardized command/response protocol ensures interoperability with Android/Linux NFC stacks without vendor-specific drivers. |
| Ultra-low-power polling loop | 150 μA typical current enables multi-week battery life in remote controls and wearables with 200 mAh coin cells. |
| Small-form-factor antenna support | High-sensitivity receiver and active load modulation capability allow functional NFC operation with <2 cm² antennas. |
| Autonomous wake-up sources | RF field detection, I²C activity, and internal timer trigger exit from Standby - enables instant responsiveness without host polling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NFC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PN7160B0HN/C11002E | Same HVQFN40 package and firmware version 10.01.A0, but adds hardware-assisted secure element interface (SECI) and extended EEPROM capacity. | Required when end application mandates certified secure storage for payment credentials or PKI keys. | Select PN7160B0HN/C11002E only if SECI interface and 2× EEPROM size are needed; otherwise PN7150B0HN/C11002E offers optimal BOM cost. |
| ST25DV04K-IER | Dynamic NFC tag IC (not controller), no embedded MCU, no host interface - operates as ISO/IEC 15693 Target only with EEPROM memory. | Suitable only for passive data exchange (e.g., product labeling), not for reader/writer or P2P functionality. | ST25DV04K-IER is not a functional alternative; use only for tag-side applications where PN7150B0HN/C11002E serves as reader. |
Compared with PN7160B0HN/C11002E, PN7150B0HN/C11002E provides identical NFC performance and power efficiency at lower unit cost, while ST25DV04K-IER lacks controller functionality entirely - making PN7150B0HN/C11002E the sole viable option for full NFC Forum-compliant reader/writer implementations in resource-constrained devices.

FAQ
What is the firmware version shipped with PN7150B0HN/C11002E?
The PN7150B0HN/C11002E ships with firmware version 10.01.A0 - the initial released version that fully supports Standby mode during polling sequences and includes validated anti-tearing mechanisms for secure transaction integrity. This firmware is distinct from later C11006 variants, which disable Standby mode entirely.
Does PN7150B0HN/C11002E support ISO/IEC 15693 reader functionality?
Yes, PN7150B0HN/C11002E supports ISO/IEC 15693 Reader (VCD) mode natively through its integrated RF front-end and firmware. It can interrogate ICODE tags at distances exceeding 5 cm in industrial environments and is used in applications such as secure print release and asset tracking where robust long-range tag reading is required.
What power supply configurations are required for PN7150B0HN/C11002E RF transmission?
PN7150B0HN/C11002E requires separate supply rails: VBAT (2.3–5.5 V) for system power, VDD(TX) (3.0–4.75 V) for the transmitter stage, and VDD(PAD) (1.65–1.95 V or 3.0–3.6 V) for I²C interface. Isolating VDD(TX) enables higher output power and cleaner RF waveform generation without digital noise coupling.
Can PN7150B0HN/C11002E operate in card emulation mode without host processor involvement?
No - PN7150B0HN/C11002E requires host configuration via NCI commands to enter Card Emulation (Target) mode. However, once configured, it autonomously handles ISO/IEC 14443-A/B and NFC Forum T4T protocol timing, modulation, and CRC generation without further host intervention during active communication.
What is the maximum antenna current supported by PN7150B0HN/C11002E in PCD mode?
PN7150B0HN/C11002E supports up to 190 mA total current in PCD (Reader) mode at 3 V supply, as specified in Table 1 of the datasheet. This current limit applies to the combined TX1 and TX2 outputs and must be respected during antenna tuning to avoid exceeding the internal current limiter threshold of 180 mA on VDD(TX).
