These HITAG S256 PVC Cards contain a high-grade PVC with a high-quality gloss finish to give the best results with post-graphical personalisation.
With the new HITAG S family, NXP has extended the HITAG platform with the next generation of IC’s that are substantially smaller in size, lower in cost, quicker speed, better distance but still being operated with the same reader infrastructure and transponder manufacturing equipment.

The protocol and command structure for HITAG S is based on HITAG 1, including anticollision algorithm.
There are two memory sizes available (operating using the same protocol) - this is the smaller memory size with HITAG S256: 256-bit Total Memory Read/Write.
Target applications include animal identification, laundry automation, logistics and tracking, access control and brand protection.
