 Hello and welcome to the NFC on the presentation so first I would like to thank you very much for being here and That is the first step for you to implement NFC inside your application. So I'm Anais Gallaghani and this is So first how many of you already know what is NFC and if you have a white answer Maybe you will be able to win some kids So do you know what is NFC? Okay So let's review the agenda So first we will see briefly what is NFC then we will see the ST and NFC story About our dynamic product that will bring me to our portfolio Then we will see the use case for NFC and at the end the conclusion There will be a small time for asking questions why you'll be again able to win some kids The presentation will last around 20 minutes and around 10 minutes for asking questions So the first part so what is NFC? So near field communication So it is a close cuisine of RFID why Joe frequency identification? So what is it safe for NFC forum? I quote NFC technology enables simple and safe two-way interaction between electronic devices So the electronic devices is also your application as you can see there is all automation on the clients fitness wellness Gaming Industrial there is a lot of different type of market where you can implement NFC. The only limit is your imagination Oh, yes, and also on the market concerning NFC also concerning the smartphone There was 424 million of NFC smartphone last year that were shipped and this year it will be around It will increase of 70% So now let's see how ST brings to life the dynamic type So how maybe you already know the heart of my division the memory is the e-scrapped up So a non-volatile memory So it means it's a memory where you can still access even if it's not plural so It's a memory that long long time ago was clear from ST and with the year coming It was more and more reliable with like now it's 200 years of data retention and 4 million of cycles So it's very reliable and very robust and then she has a cuisine RFID time So this product was very good, you know for parameter management during the manufacture very very good And this one RFID time so it's a red And the e-scrapped up was saying oh, but the RFID tag is lucky because you can communicate outside of the world and The RFID tag was saying about the e-scrapped up But she's lucky because you can communicate with i-scrapped C to the microcontroller So that's why we at ST as a creator of the e-scrapped up and the RFID tag We have been creating the dynamic tag the M24 SR and the M24 alarm And we were the first on the market with this product So now let's go a bit more in detail concerning this product So the two families so there is two different type of protocol So the first is ISO 14443 It means you have a highest data rate 106 kilobit per second as there is a higher data rate will have a highest with range So you will have a smallest highest highest consumption so smallest with range and The M24 LR it's ISO 15693. So it's LFC compatible and As the data weight is 26 kilobit per second. It's the smallest with range So it's the smallest consumption so better with range The M24 SR is optimized for the speed and the M24 LR is optimized For the range so we have around 28 parts for each of the memory So we have a lot of portfolio that will help you Concerning the flexibility inside your application. So did I just speak about read range? So just to show you the difference concerning read range concerning NFC and RFID So concerning NFC with a smartphone you can go up to five or seven centimeter Is that it is the M24 SR or the LR and with the RFID reader You can go up to 10 centimeter or one meter This is really linked to the technology and modulation and everything but we are not going inside the equation Don't throw it. So of course, this is also dependent of the size of the antenna The size of the antenna of the tag of the reader and the power. It's not magic. There is equation behind this So then let's see How the M24 SR portfolio is made so we have four different type of package CSSOP MLP SO8 and also WAIFORS and there is four different type of memories two, four, sixteen and sixty four kilobits There is a specificity. We have a high speed. So one megahertz for I2C, the serial interface and we have Two specific functions. One is RF enable, disable. If you want for example to I that there is an NFC component It's your application and then you can activate it for I2C depending on application Then there is what we call a general purpose pin that will allow you for example to say to the micro a Waker or hey, there is an antenna So that is for the M24 SR Then concerning the M24 LR. We have still the same package SO8, CSSOP, MLP and WAIFORS We have three different type of size of memory four, sixteen and sixty four kilobits Here we have so the specific function is There is also RF free busy pin that allow to say to the micro. Hey, wake up or hey, there is an RF communication so To have the ability to say to the micro wake up or whatever is helping to save the battery lifetime for example and There is a energy harvesting function, so it means energy harvesting means that The component will harvest the extra energy that is not used to other components as per a micro as per a temperature sensors as per LCD screen and here the Voltage on this part is 1.8 and 5.2 voltage and Of course all of these components are passive. It means you can still access these events Even if your device is not power. So it's very good for manufacturing line as Martin will explain you later Then let's study a bit more about the architecture of these both products. So As all the protocol are already inside the memory, you won't have to add anything You just we are and plus on all micro we are providing the firmware so for you It's very easy to implement it and also maybe you say but I want to do a NFC application I want Android application then we are providing the source code of the Android application in order to make your design easy and fast But you say but there is an antenna and what what is about antenna? So content antenna there is three different type of way to design To make the antenna integration So just to show you So containing the onboard antenna, so this is good because if this is on your PCB, so it's called But of course, maybe you will say but I don't have enough space on my PCB and I will say but there is an always some solution For example, you can do what I say Ranging antenna I want your PCB. So you won't see it inside your application. It's like transparent for you Then the second option is on board inductor the inductor as I was ferrite on it It's very good when you have a metal But of course the win-win range will be smallest that compare with the biggest antenna And then there is off-board antenna where you can use for example a flexible PCB So we'll be off-board. So of course the only difference between this one and the other one is that the chip won't be able to communicate At least when the antenna is not connected to the chip. That's the only point And then we have just been releasing This month a new product. It's it's much more than a NFC tag, but it's not yet a dynamic time I mean, there is no serial interface as far as you but There was one thing that is why there was much more than NFC tag. The pin is GPO So you can always say to the micro hey wake up or hey, there was a ref operation or hey We have two different type of memory five one two bit and There is also 20-bit counter that will help you to count if there is a how many we or how many white So this is it and we are offering it also in a very small package So this is very good for your application And now let's see the plastic NFC and RFID tag So I just want you to remember you need NFC or RFID and still have all the product that you need so concerning the NFC tag We have either ISO 156.9 free with two different type of memory to our C-Stick 4 So this is for Industrial application when you need a read range then we have also SRT and SRR series that this product are used a lot and mass transit and ticketing Then we have just released the SRTiG 2kl or SRTiG series So for example as you can see on our booth we are offering business card because as it is the biggest memory for NFC tags You will be able to program your pictures or your logo inside the NFC tag Okay, so now I bring it by the presentation to Martin Hello and good afternoon also from my side What I would like to show you is Something different I would like to bring you from two or eight pin devices to a bit more complex one To the devices that are active to the transceivers to the family of 95 HF products that you can see already in the screen so in the naming of NFC forum and following the NFC specifications You can meet actually three roles three male roles in the NFC that an object Can take and act accordingly So you can see a product that is named RX 95 HF and we're making the card emulation This is one of the role CR 95 HF that is the reader writer and Then we have the ST 95 HF in the family that is superset of the previous two and that is able to make the Cart emulation Reader writer and also peer-to-peer communication in the NFC world All these devices are active components means that they you need in this case a power supply The payback for you is that you have a higher range and possible faster communication speeds So every technology that the passive RFID tags or semi-passive dynamic NFC tags has some benefits but the readers for sure as well, and this is mainly the communication speed and Communication distance that can be better than in case of previous two Again, you can see a list of the ISO specifications that are that these devices are following these are the worldwide and open specifications and As interfaces that we are using to drive to control to set up these transceivers to do their job SPI and you are Every complex or simple technology needs to be supported I know our developers like to be supported from the hardware from the software point of view So we have prepared a slide showing only a few of the evaluation or discovery boards that We have prepared during the years for you So from the left side, it is the M24 LR series and M24 LR discovery that actually Compose of two boards. The red one is the one Showing the M24 LR functionality the energy harvesting that was Presented just before and the green one that gives you the CR-95 HF evaluation board That is actually the reader writer So even if you don't have possibly the smartphone with the NFC interface If you start with the M24 LR discovery, you can get the passive side the dynamic NFC tag But also the active component the CR-95 HF the reader writer the entity that brings the energy into the system In the middle, you can see the M24 SR series So even here we have prepared discovery boards that can quickly help you to explain how to Use or what is the good things about the NFC how to use the end of messaging? and of course we do follow also the Expansion shield initiative, I'm sure you know STM said it to new clothes boards and The shields that we are offering together in this infrastructure This ecosystem so even here we have prepared the M24 SR new clothes expansion board that is shown in the picture last but definitely not least are the boards Supporting or helping to start the development on the transceivers. So you may see the RX-95 HF evaluation board for the cart emulation evaluation and pair of ST-95 HF board named evil ST-95 HF That help you quickly start with the peer-to-peer communication We have spoken about the hardware part of the hardware is definitely the antenna The analysis show you before how the antenna can be positioned inside your application this slide would like to demonstrate or Document the fact that we are supporting you also in the antenna design That is I believe quite simple. However a computation tool that is available on myst.com should Make it even easier for you. The tool is there to give you the first estimation of the correct antenna impedance or inductance that you need to design in order to match the criteria of the resonance Because you may know that especially in the passive devices We have certain internal capacitance and the task of the designer who designs the antenna for the Tech or for dynamic NFC tech is to match with the right inductance So this tool is there available for you and Can give you the first estimation the first approach to have a good design of the antenna Okay in the next slides I would like to briefly go with you from through the major use cases that we See today in the market for the NFC and in case you don't have an idea in the moment where I can use the NFC This should give you the answer so the first one is coming from manufacturing and logistic branch and The motive behind or the idea behind is that you may be you may be a manufacturer of the components or Applications that you need to sell around the globe So you need to sell something to Germany something to France to Italy to US to China And in the moment you may face a need to configure every Every application that you need to deliver to different countries in the particular way You need to set up the language set you need to set up some frequencies for the particular country for the particular market The idea of NFC once you have it embedded in your application For example the dynamic NFC tech that you don't need any powering for the operation is to embed Or to change the parameters or the configuration for the last moment just before the shipment For example on the on the conveyor belt like it is shown in the in the slide With the industrial reader that is able to cover all the volume of the cartoon blocks for example where it's located the application itself and You can in the last minute change the welcome message From German language to English language or to Chinese in case of need another application is also quite popular we call it NFC remote programming and This one is very close to our digest digestion to our stomach We take an example of the of the smart kitchen where you have a NFC enabled oven and because Not each of us is general general's chief and we may have sometimes an issue How to set up the oven to have the perfect turkey before the Christmas period? We can use again an NFC you can download the recipe with your smartphone From the internet and just pass the cooking recipe into the oven through the NFC The concept behind is clear again There is a small amount of data that you need to pass from the smartphone for from the application that you master Pretty good into the appliance or into your application Another one that is also quite popular and should improve the experience with the with the smartphone or with the with the modern Components or devices is the wireless pairing These days it is mainly for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth where we have Standards behind the NFC forum defines how to how to how to make the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing So the infrastructure for for this procedure is is already today in your smartphones You just need to explore it And again the task is to simplify to improve your life In the sense that you don't need to enter into the menus and try to search for the pin You simply take your smartphone. You will touch your hi-fi system and The beauty behind the technique behind makes the connection makes the handover of the Bluetooth to from your smartphone to the hi-fi To the hi-fi stereo next one Is more industrial one Again good demonstration of the bi-directional communication because we have a chance not only to pass the information from the smartphone inside the application, but we are for sure able with NFC Download the data from the device So this can be the case of the maintenance record need Once is your appliance a quick to the NFC You can use your tablet or smartphone to download the data inside Make the necessary analysis and for sure react accordingly. You can download back the new parameters the new settings Simply make the control of the appliance through the NFC so so far I was speaking mainly about The the use cases that are related to the dynamic NFC tags or to the transceivers. I would like to mention also a few of them That are tied closely to the to the text only to the NFC text to the devices that has only two pins or three pins So antenna and maybe the wake-up line The I will speak about the SRTEC L use cases mainly The the very first one and very popular these days are the use cases based on the location so the use cases where you place the tech on your next to your bed in the car in your office and When you are moving in between these locations you place the smartphone on the tech next to your bed it makes automatically the job of turning off the sound maybe turn off the The the the wireless communication in your car it can connect again automatically to your high-fly at your office It can start the Bluetooth and the Wi-Fi made a synchronization of your of your email account. So this is the location based profiles or location based use cases Another one quite popular that we have mentioned here as well already is the the v-card So even here we again can benefit From the infrastructure from the specification that are already in the place That are defined by the NFC forum and that enables you for example in case of writing the right and death message create to create With the and with the help of the NFC the visit card a contact card that you can use as many times as you like You don't need to print hundreds of the paper cards anymore If you have the visit card in NFC, you can simply introduce it to to the smartphone of your of your company partner and The contact informations are copied and you can use it as many times as you like The unique feature of our S Arctic 64 was mentioned already before so you are not limited in storing only the name email address and Postal address of yours, but you can thanks to the big memory capacity you can store also the logo or the picture With the with the text message or with the text information as well in the next slide. I would like to to give you some evidence or explain our motivation in Promoting or in bringing new products to the to the NFC market It is mainly given or driven by the split of the operating systems between the smart devices as you can see this market is dominated by the Android devices that are today in 99% equipped with the NFC interface and Thanks to this we can enjoy that Everybody who has the Android device today in the pocket most probably have the NFC reader there as well Even if you they may not know So this is the split this is the this is the motivation for us The number of phones in the market were mentioned before they are constantly growing and Everybody of us has the reader in the pocket and we should use it So to sum up on the on the on the portfolio I would like that you take from this presentation that whatever you need for the for the NFC solution You may you may get in ST because we have the complete portfolio now where you can get the text dynamic NFC tags or the active components the transceivers and It is a good entry point for your application application or for your use cases to enter the Internet of things Because the NFC is a great opportunity to to manage a lot of wireless or a lot of object-to-object communication tasks I Would like to that you keep in mind especially from the beginning of the presentation that this technology has a positive Mainly positive Power consumption effect to your application So in the majority of the cases in the majority of the application You need you don't need to spare some extra power budget for the for the NFC because of the passive Principles that we were showing before And I hope that you Take from this presentation also that the implementation is quite simple We have a lot of examples in terms of evaluation boards in terms of terms of discovery boards I would like you to In what I would like to invite you to to our tripod that is next to the To this place to the theater where we can discuss and we can show you more Evolution boards and how simple or complicated maybe for you is to design the antenna and In order to check that you have listened and that you get the messages I Would like to ask some questions that can be rewarded by by discovery boards or kids so We have plenty of them. Let's start with a simple question What ISO specifications we follow with M24 LR and SR series Yes, but it is ISO 1800 for example I saw 15 693 ISO 14443 What what is the answer? 14443 is certainly there. This is ISO 14443 Some other ISO norms The point okay, my point is that we recover all the space all the all the general or all the Open standards that that are available So for all of them for the long range or for the short range you can stop by and get the product from us Okay, another question What is the biggest memory capacity we offer on the LR and SR series of of tags and the dynamic tags? White unique feature that that we have I Can help you the product name Somehow encapsulates the memory capacity and you are speaking here about the SR takes 64k So just translate this into some memory capacity 64 of you this would be perfect. It is 64k bit Another question may be related again to the dynamic tags How many pins on the devices we have how many pins you need to soldier in order to get an NFC link into your application best case worst case Two pins are minimum. That's correct The point is to show you at least the antenna. Absolutely some other ideas M24 LR Zero for for example dynamic NFC tag that has the RF interface and the I square C bus How many cheap how many pins the chip has? Very good. This is 8 pin device. We were a nice way of showing the packages so a MLP a TSS op8 Do you have a question another one There was a slide showing you how difficult it is to move with the M24 LR design into the M24 SR Question is are these devices somehow compatible? Is it difficult to move from one ISO standard to another one? Very good. It is really simple The design is done intentionally in the way that in case you have started with M24 LR series Because you want to enjoy the long range robustness of the protocol ISO 15693 and you need or you find Interesting to move to ISO 14443 It is not really not difficult because because the in design the internal capacitance is fine-tuned in the way that you can really seamless move from the LR to SR Okay, I think I have no more questions. I would like to thank you once again for your attention for staying with us I hope you you you have learned something new and as a last thing I would really like to invite you as I mentioned before to to grab an NFC visit card that you can get free of charge at our at our hostesses and That helps you to participate or that enables you to participate to the evening clotery at 5 o'clock you can come back and With the your with your new NFC visit card you can you can win some some nice prices so
