Introduction NXP provides all you need to get started with RFID in Electronics using the NTAG203F. The NTAG203F is an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant IC with 144 bytes user memory and field detection feature. This document contains links NTAG203F sample tags that can be read and modified by any NFC Forum compliant phone. Fig 1 shows the act to use an NFC phone to read an NTAG203F in a Wireless Speaker. A simple tap suffices to turn on the speaker, automatically pair the Bluetooth connection, and stream your favorite music. Fig 1.
