Benefits
The benefits of using a recommended NFC chip type include:
- Usually lower prices as there is buying power in larger quantity purchases
- Greater availability at NFC tag manufacturers
- Wider variety of product types of NFC tags
- Better software and hardware support
- Larger support from the developer community
Recommended
An NFC Forum compliant NFC chip should be used, with Type 2 and Type 5 being the recommended NFC tag types. Older and less common NFC chip types including the Ultralight, Ultralight C, and Mifare Classic should generally not be used unless there is a specific historical reason.
The primary recommended NFC chip types for Connected Things projects include:
- NTAG213: Used for a NDEF website record, NDEF text record or when just the NFC chip UID is used
- SLIX2: Has a longer interaction range than a Type 2 NFC chip in some scenarios
Additional recommended chip types for specific use cases or as alternatives if the primary chip type is not available:
