STMicroelectronics to Showcase Cutting-Edge Contactless Solutions at RFID/USN Korea 2012

STMicroelectronics will showcase its latest contactless products and technologies at RFID/USN Korea 2012, Sept. 25-27, at COEX.

With the dramatic increase in demand for contactless solutions in healthcare, medical and fitness markets, ST’s unique dual-interface EEPROM products should draw a great deal of attention. These EEPROMs deliver valuable information in conjunction with an RFID reader such as in a NFC-enabled smart phone.

Featuring convenient design features and advanced energy harvesting technology for cost efficiency, the dual-interface EEPROMs also enable power to be supplied autonomously through RF signals. These EEPROMs can help with the development of applications that enable easy monitoring of health information such as blood pressure and body temperature at any time or place.

ST will also display other notable products, including an NFC transceiver and controller. These two devices are very cost effective in comparison to competitors’ products and deliver NFC functionality and safe connectivity in diverse applications. With the increasing incorporation of payment systems into smart phones and tablets, ST’s NFC products have received praise for satisfying digital market trends with various advantages including personal information protection and authentication, as well as convenient design. They can be used for a variety of NFC applications in transportation, smart metering, P2P, logical/physical access and pairing.
