NXP Semiconductors NTA5332 NTAG® 5 Boost

The NTA5332 NTAG® 5 Boost uses active load modulation (ALM), which enables a 40% reduction in antenna size, creating a significantly smaller footprint without compromising the read range. When operating in ALM mode, the read range is significantly longer than in passive mode.

An energy-efficient design, equipped with a hard power-down mode and a standby current of less than 10µA, ensures long battery life.

The NTA5332 includes 2048 bytes of memory, which can be divided into three areas. Each area can use a different protection level, varying from no protection to 32-bit and 64-bit, password-protected read/write access, or up to 128-bit AES-protected read/write access with mutual authentication. Different parties in the value chain can have individual dedicated memory areas for data storage.

The NTAG 5 Boost comes with pre-programmed proof-of-origin functionality to verify authenticity. The reprogrammable Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) originality signature can be locked or reprogrammed by the customer.
