2. NTAG I2C plus Explorer it OM5569/NT322E: Description
2.1. Operational desription
To demonstrate the unique properties of the NTA I2C tag chip, NXP developed the NTA
I2C plus Explorer Kit OM5569/NT322E which consists from Connected Tags Explorer Board
OM5569 and one NTA I2C plus Antenna Board OM5569/NT322E (54 x 27 mm ).
NXP’s NTA I2C plus Explorer Kit is an all-in-one demonstration/development resource for
NFC connected tags. Designed to emulate using an NTA I2C 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 NTA I2C chip operation, the NFC RF communication link,
and the I2C serial bus connected link; perform a variety of demonstrations; and develop/test
your own applications.
NTA I2C 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 I2C serial bus interface connectors.
The Connected Tags Explorer board contains an NXP microcontroller (LPC11U24 Cortex-
M0), a R B (red - green - blue) LED and OB (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 NTA and the application. NTA I2C plus Antenna Board contains NTA
I2C intergated circuits (NT3H1101/NT3H1201) and pcb wired (or flex) antenna. Connection
between these two boards is via I2C serial link.
The Android application, called NTA I2C Demo, can be found and freely downloaded from
the oogle Play Store. This document applies to the NTA 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 NTA I2C 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 NTA
I2C is offering.
USB port and JTA 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 NTA I2C plus
Antenna Board 54 x 27 mm.

4. INSTALLING MANUAL
4.1. Desktop use
NTA I²C plus Explorer Kit OM5569/NT322E consists from Connected Tags Explorer Board
OM5569 with NTA I2C plus Antenna Board OM5569/NT322E 54 x 27 mm.
It is intended for development use in development environment such are development
departements in factories, at institutes, etc. It demonstrates the unique properties of the
NTA I²C tag chip.
External power supply is not required (only for LCD backlight – but it is not necessary for
operating Connected Tags Explorer Board).
Firmware is already written in LPC11U24 microcontroller and no extra programming via
JTA interface is needed. A NFC mobile phone is needed for demonstration (an application
for mobile phone is avaliable on Android market). User can write his own application and
write it via JTA interface into microcontroller.
4.2. Power supply
Connected Tags Explorer Board with NTA I²C plus Anttena Board is powered via RF field
from NFC mobile phone (13,56 MHz). It is no need for external power supply or battery (only
for LCD backlight - but it is not necessary for operating NTA I²C Explorer Board).
NTA I²C tag ic on NTA I²C plus Antenna Board provides up to 2V with 5 mA current
output (typical) on Vout pin. This is enough to power low power microcontroller LPC11U24,
LCD display, temperature sensor and LED.
Note 1:
Power supply from USB port on personal computer has to comply with LPS requirement of
IEC60950-1.
Maximum lenght for USB cable is 3 meter.
