NFC Tags Specifications
NFC Tags consist of a chip (integrated circuit) and an antenna. There are different kinds of NFC chip.
NTAG series NFC Chips have Universal Compatibility. They are compatible with every NFC-enabled smartphone and tablet.
Technical Specifications of NFC Chips are summarized in the table below.
NTAG Series Specifications
| NTAG203 | NTAG210 | NTAG212 | NTAG213 | NTAG215 | NTAG216 | |
| Total memory (1) | 168 bytes | 80 bytes | 164 bytes | 180 bytes | 540 bytes | 924 bytes |
| Available memory (2) | 137 bytes | 48 bytes | 128 bytes | 144 bytes | 504 bytes | 888 bytes |
| URL Max Length (3) | 132 characters | 41 characters | 122 characters | 132 characters | 492 characters | 854 characters |
| Text Max Length (4) | 130 characters | 39 characters | 120 characters | 130 characters | 490 characters | 852 characters |
| Max vCard fields (5) | 4-5 | 2-3 | 3-4 | 5-6 | 8-10 | 10+ |
| Universal compatibility | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| NFC Forum Type (6) | Type 2 | Type 2 | Type 2 | Type 2 | Type 2 | Type 2 |
| Cryptography (7) | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Scan counter | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 32 bit Password | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Serial number (8) | 7 bytes | 7 bytes | 7 bytes | 7 bytes | 7 bytes | 7 bytes |
| Why choose this one | Popular chip, available in several shapes, cost effective. | Cheap, but small memory: just for short URLs. | Cheap, good ScanStrength. Ideal for marketing (smart poster, packaging). | Very good ScanStrength. Great NFC Tag. | Good memory, but limited availability. | Good ScanStrength and large memory. More expensive, but great for vCards. |
- Total memory: is the total memory of the Tag. Part of it, however, is not writable, as required for some functions.
- Available memory: the actual memory you have for writing data on the NFC Tag.
- URL Length: the maximum number of characters that a link on this Tag can contain, net of the 'http://www.'
- Text Length: the maximum number of characters that you can write on this NFC Tag.
- Maximum number of vCard field: it is approximately because it depends on the length of each field.
vCard is the standard format for importing/exporting contacts of address book. - NFC Forum specifications T2: compatibility with the technical specifications drawn up by the NFC Forum Type 2. For more information, please visit http://www.nfc-forum.org.
- Encryption: a safety feature on the chip, which can help prevent the cloning is an advanced feature that requires technical skills, but not necessary for standard use.
- Serial Number: the Tag contains a unique ID, called UID.
