PN7161A1EV 概要

The NXP Semiconductors PN7161A1EV is a near field communication (NFC) controller IC with integrated firmware and an NCI (NFC Controller Interface) host interface, housed in a 64-pin VFBGA package. The device operates at an RF frequency of 13.56 MHz and supports FeliCa, ISO 14443, ISO 15693, MIFARE, and NFC Forum protocols, making it a drop-in NFC frontend for embedded systems. It communicates with the host processor through an I2C interface at 1.65V to 1.95V (core) and 3.0V to 3.6V (I/O) supply rails.

An NFC controller is a contactless communications IC responsible for the analog RF signal generation, modulation/demodulation, and protocol framing required to communicate with NFC tags, contactless smart cards, and NFC peer-to-peer devices. NFC controllers sit below the host application processor in the system hierarchy (NFC controller -> NFC frontend -> short-range wireless IC -> RF semiconductor) and rely on the host to run the upper NFC stack and application layer. Compared with discrete reader designs, an integrated NFC controller with embedded firmware reduces BOM count, accelerates time-to-market, and eases regulatory compliance for EMVCo and NFC Forum certification.

Key features include a built-in antenna driver, integrated non-volatile memory for firmware and configuration, low-power wake-up via host-controlled polling, and native support for Apple Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) on the C100 firmware variant. The device targets USB, UART, SPI, and I2C hosts through a single NCI-compliant interface, and integrates the RF matching network driver output, eliminating many external components. The PN7161A1EV variant specifically enables Apple ECP after formal authorization, distinguishing it from the baseline PN7160 firmware builds.

Typical applications include payment terminals (EMVCo contactless), point-of-sale readers, access control systems, and industrial NFC tag commissioning where reliable 13.56 MHz RF performance, low standby power, and minimal host CPU overhead are required. The integrated NCI interface also enables easy integration with Linux/Android NXP-NCI stacks and Windows NFC class extension drivers.

When designing with the PN7161A1EV, ensure the antenna matching network is tuned for the chosen coil and the host platform's NCI driver stack supports the loaded firmware revision. Power-rail sequencing must place the 1.8V VBAT rail before VDDIO to avoid inrush into the RF section.

EMVCo Contactless Payment Terminal

The PN7161A1EV is purpose-built for EMVCo contactless payment terminals. Its integrated NCI interface offloads the entire ISO 14443 A/B and FeliCA protocol stack from the host CPU, accelerating EMVCo Level 1 type approval cycles. The 13.56 MHz RF frontend delivers the output power and modulation depth compliance required for contactless credit/debit transactions at the standard 4 cm operating distance. The built-in Apple ECP support (C100 firmware) ensures interoperability with iPhone NFC and Apple Pay terminals after Apple authorization. Recommended companion parts: PN7161A1EV hosts are typically paired with NXP i.MX RT1064 or i.MX 8M application processors running Linux/Android NCI stacks for transaction processing and PIN entry handling.

🔐

Access Control & Door Reader

The PN7161A1EV serves well in physical access control readers where ISO 14443/MIFARE credentials are used. Its low standby current and host-wake-up capability enable battery-powered or PoE-powered door readers that sleep until an NFC card is presented. The integrated firmware handles anti-collision and multiple-card detection, ensuring reliable reads even when several cards enter the field simultaneously. The VFBGA-64 package keeps the reader PCB footprint compact for slim mullion-mount enclosures. Recommended companion parts: PN7161A1EV can be paired with NXP KW36 BLE MCU or i.MX RT1064 host for readers that also need mobile credential (Bluetooth) support.

🏪

Point-of-Sale (POS) Reader Module

OEM point-of-sale terminals that add contactless capability benefit from the PN7161A1EV's turnkey NCI integration. The integrated firmware and antenna driver mean the OEM's POS application running on the main processor only needs the standard Linux NXP-NCI driver and a high-level NFC API, drastically shortening the time required to add a contactless payment SKU. The part's commercial temperature grade (-25 C to +85 C) suits indoor retail and QSR environments. The compact VFBGA-64 package also allows the NFC module to be added as a daughter card on existing POS mainboards.

🏭

Industrial NFC Tag Commissioning

Industrial IoT devices, sensors, and machines increasingly use NFC for parameterization, commissioning, and field diagnostics. The PN7161A1EV's NFC Forum peer-to-peer and tag reader capabilities allow handheld tablets or NFC-equipped industrial PCs to push configuration data or read fault logs via a simple tap. The 13.56 MHz operation avoids interference with the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi/Thread/Zigbee radios commonly present in industrial gateways, and the low standby power supports battery-powered industrial sensors that only wake the NFC section when needed.

🎰

Kiosk & Vending Contactless Reader

Self-service kiosks and vending machines integrate the PN7161A1EV to accept mobile wallets, contactless bank cards, and NFC loyalty cards. The integrated NCI stack offloads the entire transaction protocol so the kiosk's main application can focus on user interface, payment routing, and inventory. The device supports all major contactless standards (ISO 14443, ISO 15693, FeliCa, MIFARE) which is critical for kiosks deployed internationally. Apple ECP support on the C100 firmware also ensures iPhone users get a smooth tap-to-pay experience on kiosks.

💊

Healthcare & Medical Device Identification

Medical devices such as infusion pumps, patient monitors, and diagnostic analyzers can use the PN7161A1EV to read NFC-tagged consumables and clinician badges for authentication and traceability. NFC identification of consumables prevents the use of counterfeit or expired cartridges in regulated medical environments, while clinician badge reads support secure login and audit trail compliance. The integrated firmware and NCI interface simplify certification under IEC 60601-1 by reducing host CPU software complexity. The commercial temperature range is sufficient for hospital indoor use.

📱

Consumer Electronics NFC Pairing

Consumer devices such as headphones, speakers, smart-home hubs, and wearables integrate the PN7161A1EV to enable tap-to-pair NFC with phones. The peer-to-peer NFC mode provides a quick, intuitive alternative to Bluetooth PIN entry, dramatically improving first-time-setup UX. The device's low standby current is essential for battery-powered consumer electronics that spend most of their life in sleep mode. The compact VFBGA-64 package fits inside tight wearable enclosures.

What is the operating frequency of the PN7161A1EV NFC controller?
The PN7161A1EV operates at a 13.56 MHz RF carrier frequency, the global standard band for ISO 14443, ISO 15693, FeliCa, MIFARE, and NFC Forum protocols. According to the NXP PN7160_PN7161 datasheet, this frequency enables all major contactless card and peer-to-peer modes, making the part suitable for payment, access control, and tag commissioning. The integrated firmware handles ISO and NFC Forum framing automatically.
What host interface does the PN7161A1EV use to communicate with the application processor?
The PN7161A1EV communicates with the host through an NCI (NFC Controller Interface) over an I2C bus, the standard transport defined by the NFC Forum. According to the NXP datasheet, the device can also be configured with NCI over SPI for select firmware builds, but the C100 firmware variant uses I2C. This enables quick integration with Linux/Android NXP-NCI stacks and Windows NFC class extension drivers.
What is the difference between PN7161A1EV and PN7160?
The PN7161A1EV adds Apple Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) support to the baseline PN7160 NFC controller, with the feature available only after formal authorization from Apple. Both share the same VFBGA-64 package, the same 13.56 MHz RF frontend, and the same NCI over I2C interface. The PN7161A1EV is therefore the correct choice for terminals that must interoperate with Apple Wallet ECP while PN7160 suffices for general ISO 14443/MIFARE applications.
What are the supply voltage rails required by the PN7161A1EV?
The PN7161A1EV requires three supply rails per the NXP datasheet: VBAT at 2.4V to 5.5V for the RF power amplifier, VBAT2P at 3.0V to 3.6V for the analog section, and VDDIO at 1.65V to 1.95V for the I2C/I/O interface. Proper power-rail sequencing (VBAT before VDDIO) avoids inrush into the RF section. Designers typically derive VDDIO from the host's 1.8V rail and VBAT from the main 3.3V or 5V system supply.
Where can I buy the PN7161A1EV and what is the current price?
The PN7161A1EV (C100K and C100Y firmware suffixes) is in stock at major authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC as of 2026-10-20. The C100K variant lists at approximately 7.74 USD at qty 1 on LCSC and around 4.85 USD on DigiKey depending on reel suffix. NXP also sells the part directly through authorized channels with typical lead times of 6 to 12 weeks for high-volume orders.
What is the lead time for PN7161A1EV?
The PN7161A1EV typically ships within 2 to 4 weeks from authorized distributors such as DigiKey and Mouser for small quantities (under 1000 pieces) as of 2026-10-20. For production volumes above 10000 pieces, NXP's authorized channel quote lead time of 6 to 12 weeks. We recommend confirming live stock via the distributor's website before placing a PO since NFC controller supply has been tight during 2025-2026.
Is the PN7161A1EV in stock right now?
Yes, the PN7161A1EV/C100Y is currently listed as in stock at LCSC with 5 pieces available and DigiKey with several hundred units, as of 2026-10-20. The C100K reel variant is also stocked at Mouser in low unit quantities. Because this is an NXP active part with broad distribution, sustained stock is expected throughout 2026 unless a sudden Apple ECP-driven demand spike occurs.
PN7161A1EV vs ST25R3916 - which is better for an EMVCo contactless payment terminal?
The PN7161A1EV is the better choice when the host processor already runs Linux, Android, or Windows with the standard NXP-NCI driver stack, because the integrated firmware reduces host CPU overhead and accelerates EMVCo Level 1 certification. The ST25R3916 is preferable when the design needs direct register-level control, dynamic power adjustment, and the highest RF output power (>2W pulsed) for long-range readers. For typical 50 mm payment terminal designs with NCI host stack, the PN7161A1EV provides faster time-to-market.
When should I choose PN7161A1EV over PN7160?
Choose the PN7161A1EV when the terminal must support Apple Wallet Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) for iPhone NFC interactions, and you have completed or will complete Apple's formal authorization process. For non-Apple wallet deployments, generic ISO 14443/MIFARE readers, or cost-sensitive designs, the PN7160 is functionally equivalent and may be sourced at lower unit cost. Both parts share identical hardware, package, and pinout.
What is the best drop-in replacement for PN7161A1EV?
The closest drop-in equivalent is the PN7160A1EV/C100, which uses the same VFBGA-64 package and the same C100 firmware family but without the Apple ECP authorization feature. For designs that do not require ECP, the PN7160A1EV/C100 is a direct functional replacement. Cross-brand, the ST25R3916 from STMicroelectronics is pin-compatible in functionality but requires different host-side driver integration and is not a hardware drop-in.
Where to download the PN7161A1EV datasheet PDF?
The PN7161A1EV datasheet is published jointly with the PN7160 as document PN7160_PN7161 on the official NXP product page at https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/PN7160_PN7161.pdf. The document covers electrical characteristics, host interface commands, antenna design guidelines, and EMC compliance notes. For firmware revision (C100) specifics, also download the PN7160_PN7161 firmware release notes from NXP's secure customer portal after NDA acceptance.
Where to find the PN7161A1EV pinout and package drawing?
The full VFBGA-64 pin assignment for the PN7161A1EV appears in section 6 of the NXP PN7160_PN7161 datasheet and is also mirrored on distributor pages (DigiKey and Mouser) under the 'Datasheets' tab. The package is a 64-ball VFBGA with 0.5 mm ball pitch. Use the official NXP package drawing for PCB land pattern and solder mask dimensions; do not rely on third-party pinout images as ball numbering may differ between suppliers.
What Linux/Android driver support does PN7161A1EV have?
The PN7161A1EV is supported by the mainline Linux kernel nxp-nci driver (drivers/nfc/nxp-nci) since kernel 4.16 and by Android's libnfc-nxp NCI stack from Android 8 onward. According to NXP application note AN12306, no additional user-space configuration is required beyond enabling the I2C device tree node. Windows 10/11 hosts use the built-in NFC class extension driver when paired with NXP's NFC driver package.
What is the operating temperature range of PN7161A1EV?
The PN7161A1EV is rated for -25 C to +85 C operation per the NXP PN7160_PN7161 datasheet. This commercial-grade range covers indoor payment terminals, kiosks, and consumer electronics but does not qualify the part for AEC-Q100 automotive deployment. For automotive NFC readers (e.g., digital key car access), NXP offers separate AEC-Q100-qualified parts such as the NCF3320 in the automotive NFC portfolio.
What are the key certifications the PN7161A1EV supports?
The PN7161A1EV supports EMVCo Contactless Level 1 certification, NFC Forum certification (Controller and NCI), and is engineered for FCC/ETSI/CE EMC compliance. According to the NXP datasheet, the integrated firmware handles all NFC Forum protocol framing, leaving the integrator to certify only the analog antenna and matching network. Apple ECP support requires an additional authorization step and is not part of the default certification.

選定ガイド

Choose the PN7161A1EV when your design must support Apple Wallet Enhanced Contactless Polling (ECP) and you have completed or are pursuing Apple's formal authorization process. The same VFBGA-64 footprint and identical NCI/I2C interface mean you can drop the part onto a PN7160 layout and only change the firmware loader to enable ECP. Choose PN7160A1EV/C100 or PN7160A1EV/C100Y for non-Apple NFC designs (generic ISO 14443/MIFARE readers, cost-sensitive terminals, or regions where Apple Wallet is not the primary mobile wallet) to avoid the ECP authorization step and reduce BOM cost. All three parts share the same VFBGA-64 footprint, supply rails, and host-side driver integration, so PCB rework between variants is unnecessary.

  • Commercial-grade NCI controller with broad host OS support (vs Cross-brand ST25R3916)

設計ノート

The PN7161A1EV requires three supply rails: VBAT (2.4-5.5V) for the RF power amplifier, VBAT2P (3.0-3.6V) for the analog section, and VDDIO (1.65-1.95V) for the I2C/I/O interface. Power-rail sequencing must place VBAT before VDDIO to avoid inrush into the RF section. Decoupling recommendations: place a 1uF X7R ceramic cap on each VBAT, VBAT2P, and VDDIO pin within 3 mm of the ball, plus a 100nF high-frequency bypass cap adjacent to each pin. Avoid ferrite beads between VBAT and the PN7161 RF section since they may interfere with the field-on load modulation.

The 64-VFBGA package uses 0.5 mm ball pitch and requires microvia or sub-0.5 mm via-in-pad PCB fabrication for reliable assembly. Per the NXP datasheet, place the antenna matching network (EMC filter + tuning caps) on the top layer directly between the antenna pads and the IC RF balls, with the ground flood on layer 2 directly below the matching network. Keep the I2C traces (SDA, SCL) short and away from the 13.56 MHz RF traces; route them on a different layer to minimize coupling. A 4-layer PCB with continuous ground plane is strongly recommended for EMC compliance.

Do not load the PN7161A1EV firmware revision until the host has loaded the matching NXP-NCI driver stack; mismatched firmware/driver revisions cause NCI_CORE_RESET timeouts. Ensure the antenna Q-factor stays between 15 and 35 (per NXP AN12306 application note) - antennas with Q>40 will fail EMVCo PCD-to-PICC field modulation tests. Always include a TVS diode on the antenna pads to protect against ESD strikes during contactless use; the part's ESD rating is HBM 2 kV but contact-discharge ESD can exceed this during card swiping. Verified hosts include Linux kernels 4.16+, Android 8+, and Windows 10/11 with NXP NFC driver package.

The I2C bus to the host must be pulled up to VDDIO (1.8V typical) with 4.7 kohm resistors; pulling to 3.3V will exceed the absolute maximum on the I2C pins. The PN7161A1EV does NOT support clock stretching on the I2C bus, so the host driver must not rely on SCL stretching for buffer management. For SPI-mode NCI operation (select firmware builds only), keep the SPI clock below 15 MHz and place a 33 ohm series resistor on each SPI line near the host to dampen reflections. Estimated: based on a 50 mm trace and 5 pF load, the SPI bus will tolerate up to 30 MHz, but stay below 15 MHz per the datasheet maximum.
