microIDTM Radio Frequency Identification Tags MICROCHIP DELIVERS HIGH PERFORMANCE. Only Microchip Technology Inc. manufactures world-class components for every application in the radio frequency identification (RFID) system. From the advanced, feature-packed microIDTM family of RFID tags and high-endurance Serial EEPROMs to high-performance PICmicro(R)microcontrollers (MCUs) - Microchip has a full range of RFID solutions for your tag, peripheral and reader designs. microID chips are available in two popular frequency bands: 13.56 MHz, where Microchip devices outperform all other ICs available in today's market, and 125 kHz, where Microchip can second-source most de facto standards at that frequency. Flexibility and Shorter Production Cycles The microID family can emulate almost any 125 kHz standard on the market today. It provides drop-in compatible solutions to the most commonly used 125 kHz tags and an upgrade path for virtually any 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz application with higher performance and new features. All microID family devices are programmed with serialized or unique custom codes. Factory programming (SQTP) for RFID tag manufacturers offers added security and convenience for customized tags to meet every application. A SOLUTION FOR EVERY TAGGING APPLICATION The microID family of RFID tags is available in a large variety of configurations. The 125 kHz MCRF200 can be configured to match most existing communication protocols in today's A wide variety of tag and reader solutions are available marketplace from OEM manufacturers such as: Checkpoint Systems, using its unique KNIT, Cool Tech, Poly-Flex Circuits and AmaTech. configuration register. Product MCRF200 MCRF202 MCRF250 MCRF355 MCRF360 MCRF45X Carrier Frequency 100-150 kHz 100-150 kHz 100-150 kHz 10-20 MHz 10-20 MHz 10-20 MHz The MCRF250 enables 125 kHz tagging applications with anti-collision capability for multiple object identification in the same reader field. The MCRF202 offers a unique Sensor Input that, in addition to transmitting its unique ID code, is specially designed to detect the logic state of an external device, and alter its ID data transmissions based on that sensor input. The MCRF355 is a read-only, high performance, low-cost solution for emerging RFID tag applications. With the lowest power consumption, longest read range, highest data rate and fastest anti-collision in the industry, microID 13.56 MHz devices enable emerging applications such as: airline baggage, parcel shipments, laundry, industrial, automotive, library, retail supply chain management, animal tagging and others. The MCRF45X family is the premiere passive 13.56 MHz device specifically designed for item level tagging applications such as supply chain and inventory management. The MCRF45X can change multiple operational modes on the fly - in real time. Advanced modes include "tag talks first" (TTF) and "interrogator talks first" (ITF) modes as well as Normal (1.4 kHz) and Fast (25 kHz) interrogator transmission modes. All modes are controlled by a single interrogator command. This functionality enables complete flexibility and adaptability to changing environmental and operational conditions throughout the tagged object's lifetime. In addition, the MCRF45X features a world class anti-collision algorithm that allows single or multiple objects to be read or written to effectively in multiple tag environments. All microID devices are available in bumped or bondable wafer format which makes them suitable for smart labels and flip-chip style assembly. Package options include: die, wafer, wafer-onframe, bumped wafer-on-frame, PDIP, SOIC and COB modules. microID IC PRODUCT OFFERING Contactless Programming Contact Contact Contact Contact Contact Yes Anti-collision No No Yes Yes Yes Yes Memory OTP OTP OTP Read/Write Read/Write Read/Write On-chip Capacitor No No No No Yes Yes Microchip Technology Inc. * The Embedded Control Solutions Company (R) MCRF200/202/250 microID FEATURES Feature Options Array Size 96 or 128 bits (supports 48-, 64-, 96- or 128-bit standards) Data Rate Fc/16, 32, 40, 50, 64, 80, 100, 128 Data Encoding NRZ, Bi-phase Differential, Bi-phase Manchester Modulation Direct, FSK/8/10, PSK1 & PSK2 (Fc/2 or Fc/4) Sensor Input MCRF202 only MCRF355/360 microID FEATURES Feature Options Array Size 154 bits Air Interface 70 kHz data rate, ASK Manchester encoding, burst mode Other Asynchronous clock, 100pF resonance capacitor (MCRF360) Feature Options Array Size 1K bit Air Interface 70 kHz data rate, ASK Manchester encoding with CRC for reading Other RF field gaps and 1-of-16 PPM with CRC for writing & commands, Asynchronous clock, unique 32-bit ID, write protection feature, deterministic anti-collision algorithm, write in the presence of many MCRF45X microID FEATURES Resonance Capacitors MCRF450 None MCRF451 single 100pF MCRF452 dual 50pF MCRF455 single 50pF WORLD-CLASS RELIABILITY BUILT-IN Microchip manufactures more than 500 million serial EEPROMs and microcontrollers per year using its proven and reliable process technology.
