This blank 13.56 MHz RFID/NFC silicone bracelet contains an NTAG203 chip with 144 bytes of writable EEPROM storage. It is passively powered — no battery is needed. Hold the bracelet a few centimetres from a compatible 13.56 MHz RFID/NFC reader to read or write data.
The NTAG203 is a "Type 2" NFC tag that works with virtually any NFC-enabled smartphone (Android or iPhone) without proprietary licensing issues. Unlike Mifare Classic tags, NTAG-based tags avoid NXP patent restrictions and are supported by all modern phones. The chip is also compatible with standard 13.56 MHz RFID readers that support ISO/IEC 14443 Type A.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- EEPROM
- A type of non-volatile memory that keeps stored data even when power is turned off. In a sensor module, it can be used to store settings or calibration data so they do not need to be re-entered every time.
- RF
- RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
