What are the applications of NXP RFID Chips?… The following article by IT Nam Viet will help you answer the above questions in the most detailed way, follow along!

About NXP Semiconductors

NXP Semiconductors is a Dutch global semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. NXP Semiconductors has approximately 45,000 employees in more than 35 countries, including 11,200 engineers in 23 countries. According to research, NXP was the fifth largest non-memory semiconductor supplier in 2016 and is a leading semiconductor supplier in the secure identification, automotive, and digital networking industries.

Decoding the Reasons Why NXP RFID Chips Are Trusted Worldwide

Currently, NXP RFID chips have been trusted globally for the following advantages:

NXP RFID chips are manufactured and integrated with multi-layered security layers, anti-copy and anti-counterfeiting mechanisms that have been proven over many years, ensuring the most effective system operation. Commonly used NXP Semiconductors RFID IC lines include: MIFARE Chip, UCODE GEN2, ICODE SLIX,…

NXP RFID chips have high performance, providing fast reading and writing speeds and optimal communication distance. In addition, NXP RFID chips are capable of operating effectively in a variety of harsh environments, from cold storage management RFID to high-temperature workshops, factories, production lines, etc.

RFID IC NXP provides a wide range of products, all RFID frequencies, from low-frequency RFID, high-frequency RFID to ultra-high-frequency RFID, meeting all the needs of global users. NXP builds a global ecosystem, ensuring that customers will receive comprehensive technical support, quickly and effectively.

HF RFID Tag/ NXP HF RFID Chip (13.56MHz)

NXP RFID chips are based on two ISO standards: ISO15693 and ISO14443. ISO15693 is considered “borderline” because it guarantees a read distance of up to 1.5 meters, while ISO14443 is considered “nearby” because it has a lower read distance of only 12cm. The second difference is represented by the user memory encoding, which is present in most ISO14443 chips.

Specifically, the chips are divided according to the following standards:

ISO 15693 Chip

• NXP I-Code SLI2 (-X): The most widely used chip with up to 1024-bit memory
• NXP I-Code SLI-S: Chip with 2048-bit memory and separate memory management and locking functions
• STM LRi2K: Chip with 2048-bit memory

ISO 14443 Chip

• NXP Mifare Ultralight: Low memory chip (384 bits) without encryption, this is the cheapest and simplest type with a UID series made up of 14 hexadecimal characters.
• NXP Mifare Ultralight C: 1152bit user memory chip with 3-DES encryption.
• NXP Mifare Classic 1K (4K): Low memory chip, 1024 Bytes (1KB) or 4096 Bytes (4KB) with encryption. The encryption protocol was hacked in 2008 by some students at a Virginia university. However, this chip is still used today, because of its universality and because it is no longer easy to hack.
• NXP Mifare Plus 2K (4K): Chip with 2048 Bytes (2KB) or 4096 Bytes (4KB) memory with AES encryption. The chip was designed to replace the Mifare Classic chip, but did not achieve the expected success. NXP Mifare Desfire 2K, 4K, 8K: Chips with 2048 Bytes (2KB) or 4096 Bytes (4KB) memory up to 8192 Bytes (8K) and 3Des encryption.

Popular NXP RFID Chip Lines

As mentioned, the commonly used NXP RFID chip lines include: UCODE GEN2, ICODE SLIX,…

RFID ICODE SLIX Chip: This is a RFID chip commonly used in RFID applications for library management, goods tracking and RFID logistics management, etc. With good reading ability in the high frequency range, this RFID chip allows users to inventory goods quickly and accurately, optimize time and significantly reduce operating costs.

MIFARE RFID Chip: This type of RFID chip is known as the “king” of smart card applications, used in secure access control, contactless payment RFID, event management RFID, etc.

NTAG Chip: This NXP chip line is used in NFC technology, allowing easy interaction with just one click from a smartphone. This chip line has opened up a number of applications in anti-counterfeiting RFID management, marketing, etc.

UCODE Chip: This type of chip is capable of operating at ultra-high frequency range, allowing reading hundreds of RFID tags at the same time, commonly used in warehouse management, retail, supply chain management, RFID asset management, etc.
