NXP Semiconductors PN7362AUEV/C300E

Overview

PN7362AUEV from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0 NFC microcontroller with integrated contactless frontend, 160 kB Flash, 12 kB SRAM, and VFBGA64 package. It supports NFC Forum modes (Type 1–5), ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, ISO/IEC 15693, and EMV-compliant RF communication at 13.56 MHz - enabling secure payment reader and access control applications without external active RF components.

For engineers reviewing the PN7362AUEV datasheet, PN7362AUEV pinout, PN7362AUEV application, or PN7362AUEV equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed NFC timing and power parameters, and real-world integration guidance for USB/NFC dual-interface designs.

Technical Context

The PN7362AUEV implements a dedicated high-power NFC frontend with Adaptive Wave Control (AWC) and Dynamic Power Control (DPC), enabling up to 848 kbit/s transfer speed in P2P and card emulation modes. Its Arm Cortex-M0 core runs at up to 20 MHz and integrates a 27.12 MHz crystal oscillator, USB 2.0 full-speed interface, HSUART (up to 1.288 Mbit/s), SPI master/slave, and Fast-mode Plus I2C.

Unlike PN7462 variants, PN7362AUEV excludes both contact ISO/IEC 7816 interface and ISO/IEC 7816-3&4 UART - confirmed by Table 1 and Ordering Information. It retains all core NFC, MCU, and peripheral functionality (including four timers, CRC coprocessor, RNG, and SWD debug) but omits contact-card-specific pins (e.g., SCVDD, SAP, AUX1/AUX2, VCC, CLK, RST).

FAQ

Does PN7362AUEV support contact smart card interfaces like ISO/IEC 7816?

No. PN7362AUEV explicitly omits the contact interface frontend and ISO/IEC 7816-3&4 UART, as confirmed in Table 1 and Ordering Information. It is a contactless-only NFC microcontroller. For dual-interface capability, consider PN7462AUEV or PN7462AUHN instead of PN7362AUEV.

What package type and dimensions does PN7362AUEV use?

PN7362AUEV uses a VFBGA64 package (SOT1307-2) measuring 4.5 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.80 mm with 64 solder balls. This fine-pitch ball grid array enables high-density PCB layouts ideal for compact USB dongles and handheld readers - distinct from the larger HVQFN64 variant (PN7362AUHN).

Can PN7362AUEV achieve EMV contactless certification out of the box?

Yes. PN7362AUEV integrates a highly optimized NFC frontend with Adaptive Wave Control (AWC) and Dynamic Power Control (DPC), enabling EMV contactless protocol compliance at the RF level - eliminating the need for external RF tuning components or revalidation when used per NXP's reference design guidelines for PN7362AUEV.

What host interfaces are available on PN7362AUEV?

PN7362AUEV provides USB 2.0 full-speed, HSUART (up to 1.288 Mbit/s), SPI (7 Mbit/s), and I2C (Fast-mode Plus). It lacks the contact-specific interfaces (e.g., ISO/IEC 7816 UART, SCVDD, SAP) found in PN7462 variants - making its host interface set purpose-built for pure contactless reader connectivity.

Is PN7362AUEV pin-compatible with other members of the PN7462 family?

No. PN7362AUEV uses VFBGA64 packaging and omits contact interface pins (e.g., SCVDD, SAP, AUX1/AUX2, VCC, CLK), resulting in a non-pin-compatible footprint versus HVQFN64 variants like PN7362AUHN or PN7462AUHN. Pin mapping must be verified against the VFBGA64 pin description table for PN7362AUEV specifically.
