General description

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) - see Figure 1.

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 (Ref. 2) and ISO/IEC14443 Type A (Ref. 1) specifications.

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