EM4324

EM MICROELECTRONIC - MARIN SA EM4324 1 kbit Read/Write, ISO 18000-6C / EPC C-1 G-2 Passive / Battery-assisted Passive Contactless IC Description EM4324 is a long range battery-assisted passive UHF RFID tag IC compliant with the ISO 18000-6C / EPCglobal Class1 Generation-2 protocol. The chip offers an advanced feature set (EPC+) leading to a performance beyond that of standard Gen2 chips. Battery-assisted, EM4324 offers superior reading range and reliability compared to purely passive RFID solutions. The battery- assisted mode is tailored to harsh environment applications where other passive UHF solutions fail e.g. in the presence of water or metal. Moreover, the EM4324 current consumption has been optimized to maximize the battery lifetime. Even if the battery is flat, the chip continues to operate and to communicate with the reader in passive mode. The non-volatile memory size is 1024 bits enabling the support of an ISO or EPC data structure. Besides the ISO / EPC coding structure each chip is delivered with a 64-bit Unique Identifier to ensure full traceability. Features ISO 18000-6C compliant EPC Class 1 Gen2 compliant EPC Class 3 compliant (Battery-Assisted Passive gen2) 1024-bit non-volatile memory 720-bit user’s free memory 96-bit EPC numbers supported 64-bit manufacturer-programmed Unique Identifier (TID / UID) Forward link data rates: 40 to 160 kbits/s Return link data rates: 40 to 640 kbits/s Battery assistance mode for unsurpassed reading range and reading reliability Rectifier that allows passive operation in case the battery is flat or not present Support of near-field mode enabling reading e.g. through water Support of parallel-inductance matching for improved matching 32-bit password-protected Kill command 32-bit password-protected Access command Anti-tearing feature to prevent malicious unlocking EPC-extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) Typical Applications Supply chain management Tracking and tracing Containers identification Access control Asset control Typical Configuration Ordering Information For samples, please, order exclusively: The versions below are considered standards and should be readily available.
