NTAG® 5 Boost: NFC Forum-Compliant I²C Bridge for Tiny Devices

NTAG5-BOOST

Roll over image to zoom in

Please check the new online NFC Antenna Tool for tag and reader devices.

NXP’s NTAG 5 boost shrinks the NFC footprint while adding AES security, so designers can deliver ultra-compact devices for use in IoT, consumer, and industrial applications.

It is an NFC Forum-compliant contactless tag that delivers exceptional read range, giving tiny devices the ability to interact with the cloud, and other NFC-enabled devices, including smartphones.
