NXP NTAG213

The NTAG213 chip came out in 2013 and was a big step forward from the first NTAG203 chip. This new version had some improvements, like a 32-bit password and a way to easily copy its unique ID.  These changes made it more secure and easier to use. The chip was also made thinner, only 75µm, which made it small. Plus, the information stored on it was expected to last for up to 10 years.

Notible Features

NXP added a special feature called an "originality signature." This was a very important step in stopping fake NTAG chips. This feature helps make sure that NTAG213 chips are real, which keeps the NFC system working safely.

The NTAG213 also works well with other things. It can easily replace the older NTAG203 chip. It also often works instead of the MIFARE Ultralight chip in many uses. The NTAG213 is part of a larger group of NTAG chips, including the NTAG210, NTAG210µ, NTAG212, NTAG215, and NTAG216. The NTAG213 is a useful and popular NFC Forum Type 2 chip.

The NTAG213 is very popular in NFC tags and products because it has enough memory to hold long website addresses. It also has many useful features for everyday tasks. People know it works well and can be scanned from a good distance. Because of this, the NTAG213 is still a very important part of how NFC technology is growing.

ZipNFC Comment

The NXP NTAG213 NFC chip is the most common IC used since iPhone introduced the ability to read NFC Tags. That is because the iPhone will only read a URL natively without the need for an application. If you are going to use your NFC tag with an iPhone and require the iPhone to read your tags without an application then this is probably the best NFC chip for you to use.
