The new ST25R210 is a high-performance NFC reader IC optimized for cost-sensitive Aliro, access control, industrial, and consumer applications. With up to 1.6 W output power, excellent interaction range, and robust performance in noisy environments, the ST25R210 is now available to order.
Why choose the ST25R210?
Engineered to deliver high performance in cost‑sensitive designs, the new ST25R210 combines 1.6 W output power with improved low‑power card detection (LPCD) and high sensitivity to extend detection distance while keeping power consumption low.
The chip is also backed by a 10‑year longevity commitment.
How does it enable sleek, space saving designs?
Its compact 4 x 4 mm QFN package frees valuable PCB space for your own differentiation, while production in France supports secure, traceable supply chains.
How does it work?
The microcontroller controls the ST25R210 NFC reader IC via an SPI interface. The ST25R210 then drives the 13.56 MHz RF interface to communicate with NFC cards, tags, or an NFC enabled phone.
