Description

NXP Semiconductors has developed NTAG203F - NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC - to be used with NFC enabled devices according to NFC Forum technical specifications (see Ref. 8 and Ref. 9), according to NFC Forum recommendations or Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD), according to ISO/IEC 14443A (see Ref. 1). The communication layer (RF Interface) complies to parts 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443A standard. The NTAG203F is primarily designed for NFC Forum Type 2 Tag applications in electronics (i.e. connection handover, Bluetooth simple pairing, Wi-Fi Protected set-up, device authentication, gaming and others).

Specifications and features

RF Interface (ISO/IEC 14443A)
■ Contactless transmission of data and supply energy (no battery needed)
■ Operating distance: up to 100 mm (depending on various parameters as e.g. field strength and antenna geometry)
■ Operating frequency: 13.56 MHz
■ Fast data transfer: 106 kbit/s
■ High data integrity: 16-bit CRC, parity, bit coding, bit counting
■ True anticollision
■ 7 byte serial number (cascade level 2 according to ISO/IEC 14443-3)

Application Scenarios

The AG203-86G can be used for various NFC Forum Type 2 Tag applications in electronics such as connection handover, Bluetooth simple pairing, Wi-Fi Protected set-up, device authentication, gaming, and more.
