STMicroelectronics launches advanced automotive NFC readers ST25R500/501 with enhanced detection range and compact design

STMicroelectronics has announced the launch of its latest automotive NFC readers, the ST25R500 and ST25R501. These new additions to the ST25R portfolio are designed to enhance user experiences with superior wake-up and detection range capabilities, meeting the stringent requirements of the Car Connectivity Consortium and Wireless Power Consortium.

The ST25R500 and ST25R501 NFC readers deliver market-leading performance with up to 2W peak output power and high receiver sensitivity, offering up to 70% greater interaction range compared to other readers on the market. The ST25R501, housed in a compact 4mm x 4mm QFN package, occupies 36% less PCB area, making it the industry’s most powerful automotive NFC reader with the smallest outline. This makes it ideal for space-constrained applications such as door handle and B-pillar modules.
