NTAG213, NTAG215 proximity card and NTAG216 are already manufactured by NXP Semiconductors as
standard NFC tag ICs to use in commercially available applications like retail, gaming and electronics, together with NFC devices or NFC compliant Proximity Coupling Devices. NTAG213, NTAG215 and NTAG216 (in the future, generally called NTAG21x) are designed to fully comply to NFC Forum Type 2 Tag and ISO/IEC14443 Type A specifications.
Target applications include Out-of-Home and print media smart advertisement, SoLoMo applications, product authentication, NFC shelf labels, mobile companion tags.
Target Mifare card use cases include Out-of-Home smart advertisement, product authentication, mobile companion tags, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing, electronic shelf labels and cards. NTAG21x memory can even be segmented to employ multiple applications at the same time.
With thanks to the high input capacitance, NTAG21x tag ICs are particularly aiimed at applications requiring small footprints, without compromise on performance. Small NFC tags may be easier embedded into e.g. music labels or electronic devices.
The mechanical and electrical specifications of NTAG21x are tailored to fulfill the
requirements of inlay and tag manufacturers.
