NTAG213F/216F: NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC with 144/888 bytes user memory and field detection

The NTAG213F and NTAG216F are the new NFC forum compliant Type 2 tag products developed by NXP Semiconductors for applications in electronics (i.e. connection handover, Bluetooth simple pairing, Wi-Fi Protected set-up, device authentication, gaming and others).

On top of offering a large range of User memory (144 bytes for NTAG213F and 888 bytes for NTAG216F), the NTAG21xF product family offers innovative functionalities like configuration of the field detection, the SLEEP mode, the FAST_READ command and a configurable password protection.

The NTAG21xF product family is designed to fully comply to NFC Forum Type 2 Tag and ISO/IEC14443 Type A specifications.

The NTAG21xF product family also offers the same package (HXSON4), the same input capacitance and a full pinning compatibility to the NTAG203F product.

Communication to NTAG21xF can be established only when the IC is connected to an antenna.

When NTAG21xF is positioned in the RF field, the high speed RF communication interface allows the transmission of the data with a baud rate of 106 kbit/s.

NTAG21xF offers specific features designed to improve integration and user convenience:

The NTAG21xF product family features an RF field detection functionality based on Open Drain that can be configured with different RF signal or actions trigger:

The corresponding output signal can be used as interrupt source to e.g. wake up an embedded microcontroller or trigger further actions - e.g. Bluetooth and WiFi pairing.

The NTAG21xF product family offers the SLEEP mode feature which allows the electronic device connected with the NTAG21xF to disable the NTAG21xF product by shorting the field detect pin to ground followed by RF field reset. This enables the electronic device to hide the NTAG21xF product from the NFC reader device in case e.g. its battery level is too low or for privacy reason.

NTAG21xF IC provides full compliance to the NFC Forum Tag 2 Type technical specification and enables NDEF data structure configurations.

An intelligent anticollision function allows to operate more than one tag in the field simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each tag individually and ensures that the execution of a transaction with a selected tag is performed correctly without interference from another tag in the field.
