RFID Tag NTAG203 Features

NXP Semiconductors has developed NTAG203 - NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC - to be used with NFC enabled devices according to NFC Forum technical specifications, according to NFC Forum recommendations or Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD), according to ISO/IEC 14443A. The communication layer (RF Interface) complies to parts 2 and 3 of the ISO/IEC 14443A standard. The NTAG203 is primarily designed for NFC Forum Type 2 Tag applications (i.e. Smart Advertisement, connection handover, Bluetooth simple pairing, WiFi Protected set-up, call request, SMS, goods and device authentication and others).

1. RF Interface (ISO/IEC 14443A)
>> Contactless transmission of data and supply energy (no battery needed)
>> Operating distance: up to 100 mm (depending on field strength and antenna geometry)
>> Operating frequency: 13.56 MHz
>> Fast data transfer: 106 kbit/s
>> 7 byte serial number (cascade level 2 according to ISO/IEC 14443-3)

2. EEPROM
>> 168 bytes of total memory, divided in 42 pages(4 bytes each)
>> 144 bytes of user r/w memory area, divided in 36 pages(4 bytes each)
>> Field programmable read-only locking function per page for first 64 bytes
>> Field programmable read-only locking function per block
>> 32-bit user definable One-Time Programmable (OTP) area
>> 16-bit counter
>> Data retention of 5 years
>> Write endurance 10000 cycles
