 must always be at the same supply voltage.
[2] The total current consumption depends on the firmware version (different internal IC clock speed)
[3] With an antenna tuned at 50  at 13.56 MHz
[4] The antenna should be tuned not to exceed this current limit (the detuning effect when coupling with 
another device must be taken into account)
