RFID IC for high-value product tagging

14 May 2014 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

EM Microelectronic introduced the EM4126 EPC Gen2 RFID integrated circuit, intended for use in RFID tags for jewellery, cosmetics and other small and/or high-value products.

The device achieves a typical read sensitivity of -19 dBm at the chip level, which translates into a typical -21 dBm sensitivity at the tag level for a dipole-like antenna with 2 dBi gain. It is available in bumped die form on 6 mil sawn wafers.

224 bits of non-volatile memory (16-bit PC word and 208-bit UII/EPC code) enable support of ISO or EPC data structures and allow for SGTIN 198 encoding as an enhanced alternative to SGTIN-96. SGTIN-198 encoding uses alphanumeric serialisation represented as a string of up to twenty 7-bit characters, allowing for more flexibility and human-readable codes. The encoded string is left-justified and unused characters are zero filled.
