NTAG203F NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC with 144 bytes user memory and field detection Rev. 3.5 28 September 2015 Product data sheet 220635 COMPANY PUBLIC 1. General description NXP Semiconductors has developed NTAG203F - NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC - to be used with NFC enabled devices according to NFC Forum technical specifications (see Ref. 8 and Ref. 9), 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 NTAG203F is primarily designed for NFC Forum Type 2 Tag applications in electronics (i.e. connection handover, Bluetooth simple pairing, Wi-Fi Protected set-up, device authentication, gaming and others). 1.1 Contactless energy and data transfer Communication to NTAG can be established only when the IC is connected to an antenna. Form and specification of the coil is out of scope of this document. For details on how to design antennas see Ref. 6. 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.
