NXP NTAG215
NXP came out with the NTAG215 chip in 2013. At the same time, they also released other similar chips called the NTAG213, NTAG212, NTAG210, and NTAG216. The NTAG215 is a chip that can do a lot and has a good amount of memory to store information.
The NTAG21x group of chips had some improvements compared to the older NTAG203 chip. These new chips had a 32-bit password for better security and a way to easily copy the chip's unique ID.
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 NTAG215 chips are real, which keeps the NFC system working safely.
ZipNFC Comment
The NXP NTAG215 NFC chip is a very useful chip to use as long as you are using it for the right reason. An example is for Amiibo characters. If you plan on cloning an Amiibo character then you have to use the NFC NTAG215 chip as no other chip will work. Also if you have an extra long URL that is more than 137 characters then the NTAG215 chip gets use a great deal.
