Single-Chip NFC Lock Solution Empowers Security Applications
Keep It Simple Storage has transitioned from manual locks to fully automated and remote-controlled systems for secure locking with the NFC-powered, battery-free smart lock solution from Infineon Technologies. The KISS smart lock system enables owners and operators to switch from manual locks to smart locks without the need for disruptive add-on devices such as batteries, Bluetooth, or cables. The system enables instant troubleshooting and remote problem-solving to eliminate common self-storage inconveniences such as auctions, lost keys, and replacing locks.
The smart lock is based on Infineon’s NAC1080 microcontroller (MCU), a single-chip solution with integrated H-Bridge for passive NFC lock applications. Infineon’s NAC1080 integrates both an H-Bridge and an energy harvesting module to enable a smart actuator in a single-chip solution, with fewer components. In addition, advanced local and cloud functions can be extended via the mobile app.The NAC1080 also features an integrated AES128 accelerator and true random number generator, enabling data encryption and decryption in an ultra-low power environment. In addition to passive NFC lock applications, the NAC1080 can also be used in applications such as back-up power for active lock systems and NFC interface ICs for electronic devices.
