Frequently Asked Questions
Which NFC protocols does the ST25R3916B-AQET support, and what operating frequency does it use?
The ST25R3916B-AQET operates at 13.56 MHz and supports ISO 14443 Type A and Type B, ISO 15693, FeliCa, and MIFARE protocols, covering all mainstream contactless card and tag standards used in payment and access-control systems. This multi-protocol capability allows a single IC to replace multiple discrete readers.
Can the ST25R3916B-AQET be powered from a 3.3 V microcontroller rail in a battery-backed access control panel?
Yes. The ST25R3916B-AQET accepts a supply voltage of 2.6 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with a 3.3 V rail. In an access-control panel drawing from a lead-acid battery backup, the wide input range ensures reliable operation even as bus voltage dips under load, removing the need for an additional LDO regulator.
What host-interface options does the ST25R3916B-AQET offer for connecting to an embedded MCU?
The ST25R3916B-AQET provides both SPI and I2C interfaces, giving designers flexibility to match the available peripherals on their host MCU. SPI enables faster data transfers at several MHz, while I2C reduces pin count to 2-wire communication, which is valuable in compact IoT sensor nodes with limited GPIO.
How compact is the ST25R3916B-AQET package, and does it suit high-density PCB layouts in wearable NFC readers?
The ST25R3916B-AQET comes in a 36-UFBGA WLCSP package, which provides a very small footprint ideal for wearable devices, smart cards, and slim industrial tags. The chip-scale form factor minimises board area and keeps the RF front-end parasitics low, supporting efficient antenna matching at 13.56 MHz.
