NTAG203 NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC with 144 bytes user memory Rev. 3.0 17 October 2011 Product data sheet 213830 COMPANY PROPRIETARY 1. 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 (see Ref. 10 and Ref. 11), according to NFC Forum recommendations or Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD), according to ISO/IEC 14443A (see Ref. 1). 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). 1.1 Contactless energy and data transfer Communication to NTAG can be established only when the IC is connected to a coil. Form and specification of the coil is out of scope of this document. When the NTAG 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.
