1 open source board using the NFC front-end (back side)
Real designs built with the NFC front-end (back side), from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the NFC front-end (back side)
NFC front-end (back side): common questions
Where can I find a NFC front-end (back side) reference design?
Each of the 1 boards on this page is a real design using the NFC front-end (back side). Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the NFC front-end (back side) use?
Most are built on Microchip SAM (1).
How big is a typical board using the NFC front-end (back side)?
The median is 48 × 24 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the NFC front-end (back side)?
By GitHub stars, OpenT2OTP by token2, with 2 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the NFC front-end (back side) before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
