Texas Instruments' radio frequency identification (RFID) systems has announced a new high-frequency (HF) readers family to support the global ISO 15693 standard for ISO-compatible smart labels and cards. The new TI 6500 Series readers are designed for RFID applications in supply chain management, product authentication, ticketing, asset management, access control etc. All of the readers operate at 13,56 MHz making them suitable for RFID applications worldwide.
The family includes the TI S6500 and TI S6550 long-range reader systems, and the new TI S6350 mid-range reader system supports all RFID tags compatible with ISO 15693, including TI's latest Tag-it ISO inlay, as well as the company's existing Tag-it smart label inlay products.
"With the addition of these new products, TI-RFID systems now offers a complete family of reader products for ISO 15693 compatible tags, allowing product design engineers, OEMs and systems integrators to choose which reader best fits their requirements for worldwide operation," said Dave Hyslop, UK Sales Manager Texas Instruments RFID Systems.
The S6500 long-range reader is a board level OEM 'design-in' product that can be used as the reader component in general RFID systems solutions. The S6550 is a fully-encased, plug-and-play reader, complete with a power supply, housing and interface connections, requiring only an antenna. Both readers offer up to 10 W of output power and feature advanced antenna management for maximum performance. These readers use a single active (transmit/receive) antenna, enabling OEMs and systems integrators to configure more cost-effective read gates with just one reader. The S6350 mid-range reader board offers 120 mW of output power and is ideal for embedded 'design-in' systems applications due to its small size, low power requirements and relatively low price.
