Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows devices to exchange data over a distance of a few centimetres.

All NFC communication is based on the ISO/IEC 18092 standard.

The nRF52 series MCUs have a near field communication tag peripheral called NFCT. This peripheral can be used to implement an NFC tag. It supports NFC-A listen mode operation at 13.56MHz and a bitrate of 106kbps.1
