Engineering Brief

The NTAG 22x DNA StatusDetect is an NFC Forum Type 2 tag IC operating at 13.56 MHz with integrated tamper detection capabilities. It features a dedicated tamper detection loop that monitors physical seal integrity, storing the status in a secure register accessible via NFC. The chip combines NXP's Originality Signature with ECDSA-based authentication and AES-128 encryption, enabling robust anti-counterfeiting and supply chain security applications. The tamper status can be read wirelessly to verify if packaging or seals have been compromised, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, document, and high-value product protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NTAG 22x DNA StatusDetect tamper detection?

NTAG 22x DNA StatusDetect features a dedicated tamper detection loop that monitors physical seal integrity in real time. The tamper status is stored in a secure register and can be read wirelessly via NFC to verify if packaging or seals have been compromised, enabling product authentication and supply chain security.

What memory size does NTAG 224 DNA StatusDetect have?

The NTAG 224 variant offers 224 bytes of user memory and 416 bytes of total memory. It operates as an NFC Forum Type 2 tag at 13.56 MHz with ISO/IEC 14443-A compatibility.

Does NTAG DNA StatusDetect support encryption and authentication?

Yes, it combines NXP Originality Signature with ECDSA-based authentication, AES-128 encryption, and 32-bit password protection. This multi-layer security approach enables robust anti-counterfeiting and secure product verification.

What is the difference between NTAG DNA and NTAG DNA StatusDetect?

NTAG DNA StatusDetect adds a dedicated tamper detection loop that monitors seal integrity and stores the status in a secure register. Standard NTAG DNA chips provide authentication and encryption but lack the integrated physical tamper monitoring capability.

What applications use NTAG 22x DNA StatusDetect?

It is ideal for pharmaceutical packaging, high-value document protection, and supply chain security where both product authenticity and seal integrity verification are critical. The tamper loop detects if seals, labels, or packaging have been opened or compromised.

Is NTAG DNA StatusDetect compatible with standard NFC readers?

Yes, it is an NFC Forum Type 2 tag operating at 13.56 MHz with ISO/IEC 14443-A compliance, making it readable by standard NFC smartphones and readers. The tamper status and authentication features can be accessed through standard NFC commands.
