SANTA CLARA, CA -- Justin Mortimer, product marketing manager at NXP, talks to Rich Nass with Embedded Computing Design about new NXP microcontrollers with Near Field Communications (NFC). Justin says, "We're doing entry-level micros, but it's not just about making simple low-cost micros, it's trying to integrate very unique technology into the entry level space." NFC is a technology co-invented by NXP, that can help bring wireless connectivity to the masses. It is available in billions of smartphones, tablets and consumer electronics.
