Enabling developers to bring the ease of NFC to automotive infotainment systems, Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the industry's first dynamic dual interface NFC transponder with Q100 automotive qualification.
The RF430CL330H-Q1 transponder enables simple secure pairing (SSP) using the Out of Band (OOB) association model for Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart and Wi-Fi between an NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet and an automotive infotainment system. Pair and connect or execute NFC-enabled Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) with one tap to configure specific driver settings when entering the car, eliminating complicated manual procedures.
A highly optimized NFC interface can also serve as a secure configuration and service interface for diagnostics data, supporting 106, 212, 424 and 848 kBaud data rates to allow maximum communication flexibility.
The RF430CL330H-Q1 supports an I2C or serial peripheral interface (SPI) connection to an infotainment host processor in the vehicle, including the DRA74x "Jacinto 6" or DRA72x "Jacinto 6 Eco" automotive Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) from Texas Instruments.
