General Description
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 NTAG 203 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).
Feature
