NXP Launches MCUs with Integrated NFC Technology
Published2017.11.01 12:11NXP Semiconductors has added the LPC8N04 MCU to its 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ LPC 800 series of MCUs.
The LPC8N04 MCU offers energy harvesting capabilities and an integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) interface. It is optimized to meet the rapidly growing demand for cost-effective, short-range, two-way wireless communications.
A growing number of smartphones are featuring NFC reader technology and rich graphical displays. This trend, combined with the open ecosystem of iOS and Android application developers, is pushing NFC beyond traditional tap-to-pay. The LPC8N04 MCU allows developers to quickly implement a wide range of solutions that diagnose systems and leverage environmental conditions, enabling a smarter tagging experience for users. Furthermore, flexible communication modes enable data transmission to LPC8N04 MCU-based edge nodes for device provisioning, configuration, and customization.
“NXP has a proven track record of driving innovation by bringing superior technologies to the global microcontroller market,” said Jeff Lees, senior vice president and general manager of NXP’s microcontroller business unit. “The LPC8N04 MCU with NFC technology is an extension of our history of market innovation.” “We are excited to broadly deploy NFC technology, which will create new waves for consumer and industrial IoT applications,” he said.

NXP Establishes Partnership with AWS to Address IoT Security Issues
# Integration of Amazon Greengrass with NXP Gateway Platform NXP is entering into collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the IoT sector. NXP has announced the integration of Amazon Greengrass with its Layerscape Intelligent Gateway platform. Amazon Greengrass is software that extends AWS cloud capabilities to local devices, enabling data collection and analysis closer to the point of information generation, and facilitating secure communication over local networks. This integration enables efficient security support for edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) cloud interaction. This makes it possible to access world-class secure IoT anywhere—in homes, offices, and other business environments—while enhancing business agility. Going forward, the two companies plan to explore various collaboration opportunities ranging from product R&D, business development, to market expansion in the edge computing and cloud platform sectors, with the goal of securing IoT data through innovative collaboration. NXP's Intelligent Gateway Platform uses the company's core QorIQ Layerscape processor architecture. This processor family, in addition to advanced edge computing performance and security capabilities, seamlessly extends AWS cloud capabilities down to the device level, enabling real-time processing of information collected by internet users locally, as well as management, analysis, and permanent storage in the cloud. The Layerscape series processors are industry-leading ultra-compact, low-power products featuring high-performance 64-bit ARMv8 architecture. This product line includes single-core, dual-core, quad-core, and 8-core systems-on-chip (SoCs). Additionally, this processor family integrates powerful network, security, storage, and TSN hardware acceleration engines with programmable application interfaces. The Layerscape processor, which excels in high performance and low power consumption, has established itself as the preferred platform for SDN/NFV edge computing nodes as well as enterprise, industrial, and residential intelligent gateway devices. Qu Dajian, Marketing Director for Asia-Pacific Region, Digital Network Business Unit at NXP Semiconductors, stated, "NXP is committed to leading IoT industry advancement through innovation and collaboration. The integration of NXP Layerscape and AWS Greengrass not only effectively improves edge computing and cloud platform operations, but as IoT rapidly advances,
