Designed to be the perfect enabler for NFC in home-automation and consumer applications, NXP's feature-packed, next-generation connected NFC tag is the fastest, most BoM-optimized way to add tap-and-go connectivity to just about any electronic device. NXP NTAG I²C plus is a family of connected NFC tags that combine a passive NFC interface with a contact I²C interface. The second generation of NXP's connected-tag technology is fully backward compatible with first-generation NTAG I²C products, while adding new, advanced features for password protection, full memory-access configuration from both interfaces, an originality signature for protection against cloning, and four times higher pass-through performance, along with the energy harvesting capabilities.

NXP’s NTAG I²C plus Explorer Kit is an all-in-one demonstration/development resource for NFC connected tags. Designed to emulate using an NTAG I²C plus tag chip in an embedded electronic system, the kit centers around a multi-purpose microprocessor-based development/demo board and includes a full complement of hardware and software tools to support investigation of the NTAG I²C chip operation, the NFC RF communication link, and the I²C serial bus connected link, as well as to perform a variety of demonstrations, and develop/test user's applications.
