NFC peak timing

[E. Chevalier]

Hi,

I've to design an alimentation with capacitors to keep energy and filter current peak. To do that I need to know timing for NFC peak current. Do someone have information about duration of those peaks ?

Best regards,

Hello, 

I've to design an alimentation with capacitors to keep energy and filter current peak.

Can you please elaborate on what this is?

I do not have these numbers at the moment but have asked a colleague to perform some tests. Will get back to you ASAP.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hello, 

The following image shows current consumption during an NFC transaction, going from idle to active and to idle again.

From the image, you can see that average consumption during about 1 second is 3,4mA. This is where an NFC antenna is in range of the field. 

Note that the NFC software is not power optimized. Please see this answer.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hello, Thank you for your support!

We're far from the 80mA indicated in the datasheet ^^ It's better for my design!

Best regards,

I'm glad I could help!
