NFC Tag 2 click
PID: MIKROE-2462
NFC Tag 2 click
carries the NT3H1101 NTAG I2C energy harvesting NFC Forum Type 2 Tag
from NXP. The click is designed to run on a 3.3V power supply only. It communicates with the
target MCU over I2C interface and the INT pin (field detection) on the mikroBUS™ line.
NT3H1101 NTAG I2C and energy harvesting
NT3H1101 NTAG I2C - energy harvesting NFC Forum Type 2 Tag with field detection pin.
An additional externally powered SRAM mapped into the memory allows a fast data transfer
between the RF and I2C interfaces and vice versa, without the write cycle limitations of the
EEPROM memory.
The
FD (field detection) LED
is turned ON when an
NFC field is detected.
Power is generated
from the RF field of an NFC device. For example, the NFC Tag 2 click can be powered by your
mobile phone. This eliminates the need for an external power supply or a battery.
At room temperature, NT3H1101 NTAG I2C could provide typically
5 mA
at 2 V on the VOUT
pin of NT3H1101 which is attached to the FD LED.
How it works
The NT3H1101 NTAG I2C which can be found on
NFC Tag 2 click
is the first product of
NXP’s NTAG family
offering both contactless and contact interfaces.
In addition to the passive NFC Forum compliant contactless interface, the IC features an
I2C
contact interface,
which can communicate with a microcontroller if the NT3H1101 NTAG I2C
is powered from an external power supply.
An additional externally powered SRAM mapped into the memory allows a
fast data transfer
between the RF and I2C interfaces and vice versa, without the write cycle limitations of the
EEPROM memory.
