The new advanced ST25DV dynamic-tag ICs from STMicroelectronics are the latest addition to the ST25 NFC/RFID product family that come with a rich featured contactless RF interface and I2C bus. The dual-interface enables untethered interaction between an NFC-capable smartphone or an RFID reader and the host microcontroller located inside near-by equipment, such as smart meters, IoT devices, professional, or consumer products.
The ST25DV series dynamic NFC/RFID tag ICs with dual interface uniquely support data exchange with extended communication range enabling “in the box programming” of electronic equipment at the point of production, as well as Fast Transfer Mode operation for software updates in the field with the help of any NFC-enabled mobile device. The ST25DV dynamic tags are compatible with any existing ISO 15693 RFID infrastructure, with no additional investment required.
The ST25DV series supports the NFC Type 5 and ISO 15693 RFID specifications, delivering the strongest features of each. It includes native NFC NDEF message support, and ISO 15693 long-range RF connectivity with Fast Transfer mode enabled by a large 256-Byte buffer. Available in 4Kbit and 16Kbit densities the range also features the market’s highest EEPROM density of 64Kbits with multiple 64-bit passwords to offer enhanced data-protection capabilities.
The devices are tailored for industrial applications, with high write-cycle endurance of one million cycles at 25°C and 40-years data retention. They operate over a wide I2C supply-voltage range of 1.8V-5.5V, and consume minimal energy in all modes including the sub-1µA standby mode allowing use in power-conscious or battery-operated devices. They can also offer energy-harvesting capabilities that make them the ideal solution for zero-power applications.
To assist engineers designing applications utilising the ST25DV series Advanced Dynamic NFC/RFID Tag ICs, STMicroelectronics have made available the ST25DV-DISCOVERY which is a demonstration kit to evaluate the features and capabilities of the ST25DV series. It is based on the NFC ST25DV04K device embedded on a daughter card using a Class 1 antenna and a STM32 processor driving a mother board. A dedicated software stored in the Flash memory is provided.
The ST25DX_Discovery_Mboard is available in two versions. The demonstration edition includes all of the standard edition features with Wi-Fi®, and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) modules to demonstrate various connectivity use cases. The standard edition is used to achieve the demonstration edition features. The ST25DV04K Class 1 antenna daughter card, included in the kit, can be replaced by Class 5 or Class 6 antennas. For this purpose an ST25DV antennas bundle is available from STMicroelectronics. The boards are powered through the USB connectors and full schematics, gerber files, bill of materials, drivers and firmware are also available from STMicroelectronics.

ST25DV-DISCOVERY - Two ready-to-use printed circuit boards (PCB):
Free samples are subject to availability.
STMicroelectronics has unveiled the ST1VAFE3BX, the first dual-function biosensor combining a vertical analog front-end (vAFE) for detecting biopotential signals and a 3-axis ultralow-power accelerometer for motion tracking.
Panasonic have one of the widest ranges of Polymer capacitors available in the industry. Polymer capacitors have excellent frequency characteristics due to their ultra-low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) values; they exhibit low impedance near their resonance point which reduces AC ripple in power circuits.
The SignalBee family of Wire-to-Wire and Wire-to-Board connectors from HIROSE offers a plethora of solutions for signal cable connections, featuring compact size combined with high-end performance.
The G5Q series from OMRON offers a compact, slimline and versatile relay suitable for a wide variety of applications, the G5Q has become a global standard for compact power relays having sold more than 500 million units since its launch in 2001. OMRON have now expanded the series with the latest addition of the G5Q-HR(TV8) for high inrush loads to TV-8 specification.
Bourns Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, has announced the release of the Model SSD Shunt Sensor - Digital Series. These Digital DC Current Sensors offer superior accuracy, stability and electrical isolation and provide high accuracy over a wide operating temperature range.
The STM32N6x7 family is STMicroelectronics newest and most powerful STM32 MCU to date and the first to come with their Neural-ART Accelerator.
