STMicroelectronics' ST25R210 Universal NFC Reader, Now at Mouser, Enables High Performance in Cost-Sensitive NFC Applications
August 26, 2026 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is now stocking the ST25R210 universal NFC reader from STMicroelectronics. Designed to deliver high performance in cost-sensitive applications, the ST25R210 NFC reader combines 1.6 W output power with improved low‑power card detection (LPCD) and high receiver sensitivity. The ST25R210 is Aliro-ready and ideal for NFC applications, including Ki kitchen wireless appliances, WPC Qi out-of-band (OOB) communication and card protection, and FeliCa readers/writers.
The ST25R210 NFC reader, now available from Mouser, offers an excellent read range and features improved LPCD, increasing the detection range in inductive wake-up mode. The IC includes an RC oscillator and a programmable timer to automatically scan for cards or other NFC-enabled devices when in wake-up mode. The high-sensitivity ST25R210 can suppress external noise from LCD screens and industrial applications, ensuring robust and stable performance even in noisy environments. The ST25R210 NFC reader also supports harsh conditions with reduced electromagnetic emissions.
The ST25R210 NFC reader offers an advanced analog front-end (AFE) and a highly integrated data framing system for NFC-A/B (ISO14443A/B), including bit rates up to 212 kbps for NFC-F (Felica™), NFC-V (ISO15693), and NFC-A/NFC-F in card emulation mode. With integrated RF features such as advanced antenna tuning (AAT), dynamic power output (DPO), and active wave shaping (AWS), the ST25R210 NFC reader shortens design cycles and helps designers achieve NFC Forum certification more quickly. The ST25R210 NFC reader operates across a wide power supply range (2.7V to 5.5V), ambient temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), and peripheral I/O voltage range (1.65V to 5.5V). The X-NUCLEO-NFC13A1 NFC card reader expansion board supports easy testing and evaluation when used along with a compatible STMicroelectronics STM32 Nucleo development board.
