The ST25TA16K-AB6G3 is a dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC with a 16-Kbit EEPROM from STMicroelectronics. This product is part of the ST25TA series, which is designed to provide both flexibility and reliability for Near Field Communication (NFC) applications. The ST25TA16K-AB6G3 is an ideal choice for a variety of applications such as consumer electronics, device authentication, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing, computer peripherals, and healthcare devices.

With its ISO/IEC 14443 Type A protocol compliance, the ST25TA16K-AB6G3 operates at 13.56 MHz frequency and offers a fast data transfer rate of 106 kbit/s. The chip features an EEPROM with a 16-Kbit memory capacity, which is organized into 512 blocks of 4 bytes each. This memory can be used to store user data, configuration settings, or any other application-specific information.

The ST25TA16K-AB6G3 comes with a wealth of security features, including originality signature, TruST25™ digital signature, and lockable memory areas, which enhance the integrity and authenticity of the data stored on the chip. Additionally, the product supports the NFC Forum Type 4 tag operation, which means it is compatible with a wide range of NFC-enabled devices, including smartphones and tablets.

The energy harvesting capability of the ST25TA16K-AB6G3 is another notable feature. This allows the device to power external components from the energy harvested from the NFC reader field, thus reducing the overall power consumption of the system it is integrated into. Furthermore, the product has an I2C interface, which enables easy integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems.

STMicroelectronics has designed the ST25TA16K-AB6G3 to be robust and durable, with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for harsh environments. The product is available in a small and thin package, ensuring a minimal footprint on the printed circuit board (PCB). This compact design, combined with its advanced features, makes the ST25TA16K-AB6G3 a versatile and efficient solution for the next generation of NFC applications.
