STMicroelectronics unveils next-generation automotive NFC readers, for CCC Digital Key applications, joining high-performance ST25R portfolio

09.05. 2025 | News

STMicroelectronics has introduced two new automotive NFC readers in its ST25R portfolio, delivering superior wake-up and detection range for enhanced user experiences. The ST25R500 and ST25R501 meet Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) and Wireless Power Consortium requirements for digital key and center console applications for device pairing and engine start and wireless charging NFC card protection.

The new readers combine market-leading 2W peak output power and high receiver sensitivity, ensuring up to 70% greater interaction range than other readers in the market. The ST25R501, housed in a 4mm x 4mm QFN package, occupies 36% less PCB area and is the industry’s most powerful automotive NFC reader with the smallest outline, making it ideal for doorhandle and B-pillar modules. Both chipsets ensure outstanding RF performance, even with space-constrained antenna designs. They are AEC-Q100 qualified, NFC Forum CR13 compliant, and meet the stringent requirements of car and phone OEMs (more info).
