Overview

NT2H1511G0DA8J from NXP Semiconductors is an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC designed for contactless data exchange in consumer electronics, retail smart labels, and mobile companion applications. It features 504 bytes of user memory, 13.56 MHz operating frequency, 106 kbit/s data transfer rate, 50 pF input capacitance, and ECC-based originality signature - enabling secure, compact, and high-yield integration into ultrathin inlays and electronic shelf labels.

For engineers reviewing the NT2H1511G0DA8J datasheet, NT2H1511G0DA8J pinout, NT2H1511G0DA8J application, or NT2H1511G0DA8J equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-ready procurement details specific to the MOA8-packaged NTAG215 variant.

Technical Context

The NT2H1511G0DA8J implements a fully ISO/IEC 14443 Type A–compliant RF interface with integrated rectifier, clock regenerator, and POR circuitry - requiring no external components beyond an antenna coil. Its Digital Control Unit executes anticollision, command interpretation (READ, FAST_READ, WRITE, PWD_AUTH), and EEPROM interface control.

Memory organization comprises 135 pages × 4 bytes = 540 total EEPROM bytes, with 504 bytes user-programmable (126 pages), 26 bytes reserved for UID, lock bits, and configuration, plus 4-byte capability container preprogrammed per NFC Forum T2T spec. Dynamic locking applies per 16-page blocks above page 10h, managed via lock bytes at page 82h.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

NT2H1511G0DA8J is supplied in MOA8 plastic leadless module carrier package (SOT500-4), optimized for automated tape-and-reel assembly and ultrathin tag construction. The IC connects exclusively via two antenna terminals - no power or digital I/O pins are present.

FAQ

What is the exact user memory size of NT2H1511G0DA8J?

NT2H1511G0DA8J provides 504 bytes of freely programmable user memory organized across 126 pages (4 bytes per page), as confirmed in NXP's official ordering information table and memory organization section for NTAG215. This capacity supports multi-record NDEF messages including URIs, plain text, and handover configurations without truncation.

Does NT2H1511G0DA8J require external components for operation?

No. NT2H1511G0DA8J operates as a fully self-contained NFC tag IC - it requires only an external antenna coil connected between LA and LB terminals. No capacitors, resistors, or voltage regulators are needed, as energy harvesting, rectification, clock generation, and demodulation are integrated internally per ISO/IEC 14443 Type A specification.

What package type and dimensions does NT2H1511G0DA8J use?

NT2H1511G0DA8J uses the MOA8 plastic leadless module carrier package (SOT500-4), specified in NXP's ordering information table. It is supplied on 35 mm wide tape and designed for surface-mount assembly. Exact outline dimensions are defined in SOT500-4 mechanical drawings, with typical thickness supporting ultrathin (<0.1 mm) tag construction.

How is security implemented in NT2H1511G0DA8J?

NT2H1511G0DA8J implements layered security: factory-programmed 7-byte UID, ECC-based originality signature for anti-cloning, 32-bit password protection for memory access control, and irreversible page locking (static and dynamic). All security functions are hardware-enforced and documented in NXP's functional description and security sections.

Is NT2H1511G0DA8J pin-compatible with other NTAG21x variants in MOA8 package?

Yes. NT2H1511G0DA8J shares identical MOA8 (SOT500-4) package, LA/LB pinout, and mechanical footprint with NT2H1311G0DA8 and NT2H1611G0DA8. Electrical compatibility is maintained across the NTAG21x family, enabling drop-in substitution where memory requirements align - though firmware must validate UID and memory map boundaries.
