Engineering Brief
NTAG 5 Link is a dual-interface NFC tag IC that bridges contactless NFC communication (ISO 14443-A and ISO 15693) with I2C host connectivity, enabling battery-free IoT sensor applications. The chip features 2 kB of EEPROM for sensor data storage, energy harvesting capability to power external sensors from the RF field, and AES-128 cryptographic security for data protection. Its unique dual-protocol support allows both short-range (Type 2) and longer-range (Type 5) NFC reading, making it ideal for sensor data collection in retail, logistics, and industrial monitoring applications where battery-free operation is essential.
Typical Applications
- IoT sensor data logging and wireless readout
- Smart retail and supply chain monitoring with sensors
- Medical cold chain temperature tracking
- Industrial equipment condition monitoring
- Battery-free wireless sensor nodes
- Asset tracking with environmental sensing
