NXP Semiconductors' NTAG I²C plus combines a passive NFC interface with a contact I²C interface. Designed to be the perfect enabler for NFC in home-automation and consumer applications, this connected NFC tag is the fastest, least expensive way to add tap-and-go connectivity to just about any electronic device. With the advent of expanded NFC capabilities in Apple’s iOS 11 mobile operating system, more third-party app developers and users than ever before can utilize NFC capable iOS devices for detection of NFC tags and reading messages that contain NDEF data.

The OM23221ARD NTAG I²C plus kit for Arduino pinout makes designing NFC into a MCU environment easier than ever. The kit is suitable for any boards featuring an Arduino-compatible header, including LPCXpresso™, Kinetis^®, and i.MX boards. It is designed to emulate using an NTAG I²C plus tag chip in an embedded electronic system.
