Overview
Description
The Demokit PTX100R enables quick evaluation of the PTX100R NFC reader IC for Internet of Things (IoT), Point-of-Sale (PoS), Mobile Point-of-Sale (mPoS), and Smart Point-of-Sale (SmartPoS) applications.
The PTX100R NFC reader IC is fully compliant with the specifications of the latest EMVCo 3.0/3.1 standard for contactless payments. It is supplied with an application-ready EMVCo 3.0/3.1 L1 interface and includes a set of facilities that makes the integration of a third-party EMV L2 stack fast and easy. It also provides rich debugging capabilities allowing for rapid prototyping.
Features
- Evaluation board demonstrating EMVCo 3.0/3.1 L1 compliancy
- Read/Write functionality compatible with NFC Forum standard
- Breakable lines between the main board, matching circuit and antenna for easy usage with customer antenna
- Easy Host interface selection via switches (UART, SPI, I2C)
- POS GUI support EMVCo loop back mode
- IoT GUI supporting A/B/F/V discovery mode
- Documentation to support design-in activity

Videos & Training
The IoT market has been booming over the last few years, to say the least. By 2030 there will be approximately half a trillion IoT devices shipped to the market, and already by the end of 2021, almost 7 billion IoT devices shipped will be NFC enabled.
NFC contributes a big deal to the growth and development of IoT applications, enabling a variety of different features in different setups. Ranging from consumer devices to industry 4.0, electric vehicles, and smart home ecosystems – NFC is an integral part of any application design. Our products at Renesas are designed with the end application in mind.
In this video, we present to you the benefits that PTX100R brings to the IoT arena and what can be achieved by using our industry's best NFC IC.

- Request for PTX100R Antenna Matching Network Reference Design
... NFC reader, and we are facing challenges with the antenna matching network design. Could you please share a reference schematic and layout related to the antenna matching network? It would be very helpful if you could also provide the design files of the PTX100REK evaluation kit.Best Regards,Lakshit Kubavat
Jul 8, 2025 - NFC antenna resistors
I'm confused about resistors that are used to ground NFC antenna pins on PTX100REK, PTX105REK and PTX130REK boards. There's no mention of them in the datasheets and they are not present on PTX105RQC. But PTX105REK has a pair of 910R probably 0603 or 0805 size and PTX100REK/ ...
