Amish Semiconductor Introduces NFC Sensor Interface for Industrial IoT Applications

Highly Reliable Industrial Grade Dynamic NFC Sensor Tag IC Meets Critical Tasks and Long Life Application Requirements

Ams AG, the world's leading supplier of high-performance sensor solutions, today announced the launch of the AS3956, a dynamic NFC tag IC that meets industrial-grade quality standards for mission-critical applications and has a long-lasting lifetime The product offers extremely high reliability.

The AS3956 dynamic tag enables the contactless connection between any NFC reader, such as a sensor and smartphone, through the host controller. It supports the NDEF data exchange protocol that meets the NFC Forum requirements and ensures interoperability with any NFC mobile phone, including Apple® iOS devices.

In order to ensure the reliability of the AS3956, Ames Semiconductors worked closely with product manufacturing customers in the industrial and IoT industries during the R&D process. Comprehensive testing in real-world applications validates the chip's superior performance and reliability in a range of demanding operating environments.

Unlike the consumer-grade dynamic NFC tags on the market today, the AS3956 is ideal for the following applications:

Strict operating environment for industrial and IoT applications, including extreme temperature environments from -40°C to 125°C

Products that require longer life, such as HVAC equipment, hearing aids, and wireless sensors used in infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and utilities. The AS3956's built-in EEPROM memory can perform a minimum of 100,000 program/erase cycles, and data can be retained for 10 years at 125°C
