Pragmatic launches flexible IGZO-based NFC chip
Pragmatic Semiconductor, a UK-based pioneer in flexible IGZO semiconductor technology, has launched its latest RFID near-field communication (NFC) product line, Pragmatic NFC Connect.
NFC Connect is aimed at mass-market products – traditionally constrained by cost, supply chain and sustainability challenges.
“Pragmatic’s FlexIC technology sustainably bridges our physical and digital worlds to enable low carbon, low-cost edge and item-level intelligence at scale, where it simply wasn’t possible previously,” said David Moore, CEO, Pragmatic Semiconductor.
“We see tremendous market demand in fast-moving consumer goods – such as food and beverage, apparel, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics – with applications rapidly extending to smart health and wellness devices, toys and games, and food freshness detection.”
Hector Gomez, VP of NFC Business Development at Tageos – an RFID company – commented: “We celebrate the launch of Pragmatic NFC Connect and are delighted to explore how we can integrate the technology into our future portfolio. It is also further confirmation of our joint ambition and leadership in meeting the latest customer and market needs and in expanding and shaping the range and flexibility of new products and applications for RFID and NFC innovations."
Initial volume samples of the first member of the NFC Connect product line, PR1301, are available as frame-mounted 300 mm wafers, singulated dies, and sample inlays.
