- Supports ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, and NFC Forum Tag 1-5 protocols in a single device, replacing up to 3 discrete reader ICs in multi-standard contactless payment and access-control designs
- EMVCo certified reader compliant with NFC Forum specifications enables Level 1 payment terminal certification without external RF front-end components
- Integrated automatic antenna tuning (AAT) adjusts matching network impedance in real time, maintaining 13.56 MHz read range despite PCB layout tolerances and nearby metals
- 2.6 V to 5.5 V supply range and SPI/I2C host interface simplify integration into 3.3 V IoT MCU platforms and 5 V industrial reader designs
Applications
The ST25R3917-AQET is used in point-of-sale payment terminals, transit fare-gate readers, and smart-door access controllers that must simultaneously accept NFC mobile payments, ISO 14443 contactless cards, and ISO 15693 vicinity tags from a single antenna. Its EMVCo compliance and automatic antenna tuning make it the preferred front-end for self-service kiosks and ATMs where card read distance and certification are both critical. The device also suits industrial asset-tracking readers and healthcare wristband scanners that require reliable tag detection across varying tag orientations at up to 15 cm read range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which NFC and RFID protocol standards does the ST25R3917-AQET support simultaneously?
The ST25R3917-AQET supports ISO 14443 Type A and Type B at 106 kbit/s to 848 kbit/s, ISO 15693 at up to 26.48 kbit/s, and NFC Forum Tag types 1 through 5 including FeliCa at 212 kbit/s and 424 kbit/s. A single reader IC therefore handles contactless credit cards, NFC phone payments, proximity fobs, and vicinity labels without a second RF front-end.
What does automatic antenna tuning in the ST25R3917-AQET mean for production reliability?
The integrated automatic antenna tuning (AAT) circuit continuously monitors the antenna impedance and adjusts an internal capacitor array to maintain resonance at 13.56 MHz. This compensates for PCB-to-PCB tolerance variations of ±10% in inductance and for metallic enclosures that detune the antenna by up to 30%, reducing the need for factory calibration steps and improving read range consistency across production units.
How does EMVCo certification of the ST25R3917-AQET speed up payment terminal qualification?
EMVCo Level 1 certification verifies that the analog RF interface meets waveform shape, power level, and demodulation sensitivity requirements for contactless payments. Using a pre-certified front-end such as the ST25R3917-AQET significantly reduces the scope of Level 1 testing for the terminal design, cutting certification time from 6-12 months to as little as 2-4 months, since the reader IC's RF performance is already on record with EMVCo.
What supply voltage and interface options does the ST25R3917-AQET offer for integration into an IoT gateway design?
The device operates from 2.6 V to 5.5 V with a nominal 3.3 V supply, drawing approximately 100 mA during active transmission and under 2 µA in standby mode. It communicates with a host MCU via SPI at up to 6 MHz or I2C at 400 kHz, making it directly compatible with most 32-bit Cortex-M MCUs and 8-bit AVR platforms used in IoT gateways and embedded readers.
