New NXP Tags Enable Simple Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Pairing Via NFC

NTAG21xF portfolio focuses on consumer electronics and mobile accessories

Singapore, August 14, 2013 – NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced a new line of near field communication (NFC) tags, the NTAG21xF portfolio.  Specifically designed for use in consumer electronics and mobile accessories such as headsets, sound bars and digital cameras; and wearable infotainment such as smart watches, the NTAG21xF portfolio provides a cost effective and flexible solution for pairing via NFC.  The tags have an integrated field detection mode which switches on the accessory when in close contact with an NFC phone or mobile device, quickly enabling a simple ‘tap to pair’ connection. With a large memory, from 144 (NTAG213F) up to 888 bytes (NTAG216F), the NTAG21xF products are able to easily cover both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing.
