We are introducing the NFCKEY Technical Pack (12-Pack) — a complete evaluation bundle created for companies that want to quickly understand, test, and compare NXP® NFC and RFID technologies in real-world conditions.
This pack is designed for system integrators, access control vendors, developers, and engineering teams who are at the early stage of technology selection and need a fast, practical way to evaluate multiple IC options without assembling separate samples.
Instead of choosing credentials one by one, the NFCKEY Tech 12-Pack brings together 12 different NXP® IC technologies in a single, ready-to-use set — allowing teams to test compatibility, security levels, memory sizes, and application fit side by side.
Each NFCKEY in the pack is built using original NXP® ICs and assembled with the same manufacturing standards as our production credentials. This allows customers to evaluate not only the electronics, but also the physical quality, durability, and usability of the final wearable product.
The pack also includes premium stainless-steel accessories, enabling realistic testing of form factor, handling, and long-term use — exactly as credentials are deployed in real access control and identification systems.
Pack contains:
NXP MIFARE® DESFire® Light – 640B – 7B — entry-level secure contactless IC with AES-128 encryption, suitable for basic secure applications.
NXP MIFARE® DESFire® EV3 – 2K – 7B — high-security, multi-application contactless IC widely used in professional access control systems
NXP MIFARE® DESFire® EV3 – 4K – 7B — extended memory version of DESFire EV3 for complex and enterprise-grade deployments.
NXP MIFARE® Plus SE – 1K – 7B — migration-oriented IC enabling a secure transition from legacy MIFARE Classic® systems to AES-based security.
NXP MIFARE® Plus EV2 – 2K – 7B — secure contactless IC with AES-128 encryption and improved RF performance.
NXP MIFARE® Plus EV2 – 4K – 7B — extended memory version of MIFARE Plus EV2 variant supporting more advanced credential structures.
NXP MIFARE® Classic EV1 – 1K – 4B — widely deployed legacy contactless IC, included for compatibility testing with existing systems.
NXP MIFARE® Ultralight AES – 144B – 7B — lightweight NFC IC with AES encryption, optimized for limited-use and authentication scenarios.
NXP NTAG® 213 – 144B – 7B — NFC Forum Type 2 tag for simple NFC interactions and NDEF data exchange.
NXP NTAG® 216 – 888B – 7B — higher memory NTAG variant for richer NFC content and extended data storage.
NXP NTAG® 424 DNA – 256B – 7B — advanced secure NFC IC supporting AES authentication and Secure Unique NFC (SUN) messaging.
NXP ICODE® SLIX2 – 320B – 8B — ISO/IEC 15693 RFID IC optimized for long-range reading and anti-collision performance, NFC Forum compliance
The NFCKEY Tech 12-Pack is a practical, all-in-one reference set that helps teams reduce evaluation time, avoid wrong technology choices, and make informed decisions faster — using real hardware instead of datasheets alone.
