NXP Semiconductors NT2H1311G0DA8J

Overview

NT2H1311G0DA8J from NXP Semiconductors is an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant contactless IC designed for mass-market smart labeling and authentication applications. It features 144 bytes of user memory, 50 pF input capacitance, 13.56 MHz operating frequency, and supports 106 kbit/s data transfer - enabling compact, ultrathin tag integration in product labels, business cards, and electronic shelf labels.

For engineers reviewing the NT2H1311G0DA8J datasheet, NT2H1311G0DA8J pinout, NT2H1311G0DA8J application, or NT2H1311G0DA8J equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, precise package mapping to SOT500-4 (MOA8), confirmed EEPROM architecture, NFC Forum T2T compliance details, and real-world deployment constraints including UID serialization, password protection, and dynamic lock byte behavior.

Technical Context

The NT2H1311G0DA8J implements a complete ISO/IEC 14443 Type A RF interface with integrated rectifier, clock regenerator, and voltage regulator - requiring no external components beyond an antenna coil. Its Digital Control Unit handles anticollision, command interpretation (READ, FAST_READ, PWD_AUTH, GET_VERSION), and state management across IDLE, READY1, READY2, ACTIVE, AUTHENTICATED, and HALT states.

Memory organization comprises 45 pages × 4 bytes = 180 total EEPROM bytes, with 26 bytes reserved for UID, capability container, and lock bits, leaving exactly 144 bytes (36 pages) as freely programmable user memory. Security includes manufacturer-programmed 7-byte UID, ECC-based originality signature, field-programmable per-page locking, and 32-bit password protection with configurable failure limits.

FAQ

What is the exact user memory size of NT2H1311G0DA8J?

The NT2H1311G0DA8J provides exactly 144 bytes of freely programmable user memory, organized across 36 pages of 4 bytes each. This capacity is fixed per the NTAG213 variant designation and confirmed in Table 4 of the official datasheet - sufficient for standard NDEF records including URIs, plain text, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi handover data.

Does NT2H1311G0DA8J require external components for operation?

No, the NT2H1311G0DA8J operates autonomously with only an external antenna coil - no capacitors, resistors, or voltage regulators are needed. Its integrated RF interface includes rectifier, voltage regulator, and clock regenerator, drawing power directly from the 13.56 MHz magnetic field generated by the NFC reader.

How is security implemented in NT2H1311G0DA8J?

NT2H1311G0DA8J implements layered security: a factory-programmed 7-byte UID, ECC-based originality signature for clone detection, one-time programmable capability container, field-programmable static/dynamic lock bits to enforce read-only memory regions, and optional 32-bit password protection with configurable attempt limits - all verified in Sections 1.3 and 2.1 of the datasheet.

What package type does NT2H1311G0DA8J use?

The NT2H1311G0DA8J uses the SOT500-4 (MOA8) plastic leadless module carrier package - a surface-mount format with 35 mm tape width, explicitly listed in Table 2 of the datasheet. It contains the NTAG213 die bonded to a substrate with LA/LB antenna terminals exposed for direct connection to printed or etched antennas.

Can NT2H1311G0DA8J be used for NFC counter applications?

Yes, the NT2H1311G0DA8J includes a hardware NFC counter that increments automatically on each successful READ command. Its ASCII mirror function allows the counter value to be appended directly to NDEF messages - enabling usage tracking, tamper logging, or sequential access control without host processor involvement.
