Texas Instruments Announces TMS37157, the First Member of a New Product Class Featuring the Industry’s First Passive Low Frequency Interface (PaLFI) Device
The TMS37157 PaLFI is the first member of a new product class featuring the industry’s first passive low frequency interface (PaLFI) device designed to wirelessly supply an ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontroller (MCU) with energy to operate even if the optional battery is empty. PaLFI has the ability to remotely communicate with and power implantable medical devices, making procedures less invasive. Among numerous other potential applications, the device is also being used for production chain or container tracking and end of line configuration of electronic equipment such as CD/DVD players and measurement instruments. The PaLFI device combines a low frequency wireless interface with an SPI interface which ensures ultra-stable communication within a very well defined activation/communication zone…
