EM4102
Read Only Contactless Identification Device
Description
Features
The EM4102 (previously named H4102) is a CMOS
integrated circuit for use in electronic Read Only RF
Transponders. The circuit is powered by an external coil
placed in an electromagnetic field, and gets its master
clock from the same field via one of the coil terminals. By
turning on and off the modulation current, the chip will
send back the 64 bits of information contained in a factor
programmed memory array.

64 bit memory array laser programmable
Several options of data rate and coding available
On chip resonance capacitor
On chip supply buffer capacitor
On chip voltage limiter
Full wave rectifier on chip
Large modulation depth due to a low impedance
modulation device
The programming of the chip is performed by laser fusing
of polysilicon links in order to store a unique code on each
chip.

Operating frequency 100 - 150 kHz
Very small chip size convenient for implantation
Very low power consumption
The EM4102 has several metal options which are used to
define the code type and data rate. Data rates of 64, 32
and 16 periods of carrier frequency per data bit are
available. Data can be coded as Manchester, Biphase or
PSK.
Applications

Animal implantable transponder
Animal ear tag
Industrial transponder
Due to low power consumption of the logic core, no
supply buffer capacitor is required. Only an external coil
is needed to obtain the chip function.
resonance capacitor of 78 pF is also integrated.
