EM4025/EM4125
Read Only Contactless Identification Device
with Anticollision
Features
Description
The EM4025 is a CMOS integrated circuit for use in
electronic Read Only RF Transponders, often known as a
RFID Tag. The circuit is powered by an external coil
placed in an electromagnetic field, and gets its clock via
the coil terminals. The fixed code device identification is
programmed at manufacture by laser fusing of polysilicon
links. The chip starts at power up in a quiet mode.
Downlink Transmission occurs only on command from the
reader, normally as part of the anticollision/arbitration
scheme. A data rate of 64 or 32 periods of the carrier
frequency per data bit is available. Downlink Data is
Manchester Coded. Only an external coil is needed to
obtain the chip function. A parallel resonant capacitor is
integrated.
