Description

TapNLink NFC (Type5) module for local connection of mobiles to microcontroller-based electronic systems.

TapNLink NFC modules provide a contactless interface for linking mobile devices to equipment and appliances. Using TapNLink 3-stroke configuration, users interact with appliances from an app on their mobile in three intuitive steps: 1) tap to launch the app and retrieve current parameters, 2) modify parameters in the app, and 3) tap again to update the parameters.

TapNLink connects directly to a systems' microcontroller or circuitry. Thanks to TapNLink's power optimization and Energy Harvesting mode, it can be powed either entirely by a mobile device during NFC communication, or by the target system's power supply.

All TapNLink products are easily configured to control access to data in the target system by different types of users. TapNLink facilitates rapid creation of user interfaces that run on Android, iOS and Windows-based mobile devices.
