TIDM-NFC-WATERMTR Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Zero Standby Power NFC for Flow Meter Designs Reference Design

Description

This reference design demonstrates adding Near Field Communications (NFC) capability to flow meters. The NFC interface transponder provides data-exchange capability between flow meters and NFC readers and is compliant to ISO14443B. The transponder used in this design consumes no power while waiting to be energized by a RF field generated by the NFC reader. In addition: this design can be powered by harvesting the energy from the RF field generated by the NFC readers. These two approaches minimize the power-consumption impact to the flow meters.
