Engineering Brief

The NTAG 213 TT (NT2H1311TT) is an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag IC with integrated tag tamper functionality, detecting the status of a tamper wire (open/closed) during startup and permanently storing tamper events. It features 144 bytes of user memory, ECC-based originality signature (customizable and lockable), 7-byte UID with ASCII mirror, automatic NFC counter, and 32-bit password protection with configurable attempt limits. Available as 8-inch wafer with gold bumps (75 µm or 120 µm thickness, 50 pF capacitance), it supports 106 kbit/s data transfer at 13.56 MHz per ISO/IEC 14443-A and provides tearing-proof write operations for lock bits and capability container, making it ideal for smart packaging and brand protection applications requiring tamper evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NTAG213 TagTamper used for?

The NTAG213 TagTamper (NT2H1311TT) is designed for brand protection and smart packaging applications requiring tamper evidence. It detects the status of a connected tamper wire (open/closed) during startup and permanently stores tamper events, making it ideal for detecting product opening or seal breaking.

How does the NTAG213 TT tamper detection work?

The chip features an integrated tag tamper detection loop that monitors a connected tamper wire. During startup, it detects whether the wire is open or closed and permanently stores any tamper events in memory. This provides irreversible evidence if a seal or package has been opened.

How much memory does the NTAG213 TagTamper have?

The NTAG213 TagTamper has 144 bytes of user-accessible memory and 184 bytes total memory, organized as 46 pages of 4 bytes each. This is the same user memory capacity as the standard NTAG213.

What security features does the NT2H1311TT provide?

The chip offers ECC-based originality signature using secp128r1 curve (customizable and lockable), 32-bit password protection with PACK acknowledge, configurable authentication attempt limits (AUTHLIM), field-programmable read-only locking, and tamper detection. These features enable both product authentication and tamper evidence.

Is the NTAG213 TagTamper compatible with all NFC phones?

Yes, as an NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-A, the NTAG213 TagTamper is compatible with all NFC-enabled smartphones and devices. It operates at 13.56 MHz with 106 kbit/s data transfer rate.

What is the difference between NTAG213 and NTAG213 TT?

The NTAG213 TT (TagTamper) adds integrated tamper-detection functionality with a dedicated tamper wire loop and permanent tamper event logging, while maintaining the same 144-byte user memory and security features as the standard NTAG213. It is specifically designed for applications requiring physical tamper evidence.
