2. NTAG I
2
C plus Explorer Kit OM5569/NT322E: Description
2.1.
Operational desription
To demonstrate the unique properties of the NTAG I
2
C tag chip, NXP developed the NTAG
I
2
C plus Explorer Kit OM5569/NT322E which consists from Connected Tags Explorer Board
OM5569 and one NTAG I
2
C plus Antenna Board OM5569/NT322E (54 x 27 mm ).
NXP’s NTAG I
2
C plus Explorer Kit is an all-in-one demonstration/development resource for
NFC connected tags. Designed to emulate using an NTAG I
2
C tag chip in an embedded
electronic system, the kit centers around a multi-purpose microprocessor-based
development/Explorer board, and includes a full complement of hardware and software tools
to support investigation of the NTAG I
2
C chip operation, the NFC RF communication link,
and the I
2
C serial bus connected link; perform a variety of demonstrations; and develop/test
your own applications.
NTAG I
2
C tag chips mounted on a variety of different antenna types (FR4 PCB-based with
separate antenna pads for custom antenna use, as well as a Flex antenna board based for
easier product insertion testing) and with built-in I
2
C serial bus interface connectors.
The Connected Tags Explorer board contains an NXP microcontroller (LPC11U24 Cortex-
M0), a RGB (red - green - blue) LED and OBG (orange – blue – green) push button as well
as an NXP temperature sensor (PCT 2075) and an LCD screen to show the messages
coming from the NTAG and the application. NTAG I
2
C plus Antenna Board contains NTAG
I
2
C intergated circuits (NT3H1101/NT3H1201) and pcb wired (or flex) antenna. Connection
between these two boards is via I2C serial link.
The Android application, called NTAG I
2
C Demo, can be found and freely downloaded from
the Google Play Store. This document applies to the NTAG I2C Demoboard application
version 1.5 and above. The Android application is intended to operate on devices running
Android version 4.0 and beyond. The application has been optimized for a correct visioning
of the graphical elements in smartphones featuring different resolutions.
The NTAG I
2
C Android App is meant to be working with the Connected Tags Explorer board,
and an adjacent PCB or flex antennas to test all the features and functionalities the NTAG
I
2
C is offering.
USB port and JTAG port are used only for writing firmware into LPC11U24 microcontroller
and for debbuging purposes.
The below picture is a view of the Connected Tags Explorer board and the NTAG I
2
C plus
Antenna Board 54 x 27 mm.
