Active NFC in nRF52

[Mani]

Is it possible to make NFC tag and Poller with nRF52 development kits? Is there any active NFC connection available in nRF52?

Hi,

 

The nRF52 HW only supports NFC tag, not poller. You can find SW examples for NFC tag in our SDK.

 

Best regards,

Hi Andrea,

I been reading in the Forum that the only way to have a nfc active is using an external reader.

I buy a thingy:52 but i did not read the details of nfc, I assume it was active :( 

Could you guide me with on where or how I could have a nRF52 integrated with a active nfc?

I want to read a nfc tag and send the data by Bluetooth to a another nRF52

Is there any Nordic partner interest on develop that kind of module? 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

We do not have any guides or similar on how you can integrate nRF52 with an active/poller NFC device. There are a couple of threads on Devzone on integration with various poller ICs, and most should have an eval kit or shield that can be used for easy prototyping. You typically need the poller IC to handle the NFC bit, and hook it up to the nRF52 using NFC or similar.

 

Best regards,
