MCRF450/451/452/455
13.56 MHz Read/Write Passive RFID Device
Applications
Features
• Contactless read and write with anti-collision
algorithm
• Item Level Tagging: To read and write multiple
items in long read range environment.
• 1024 bits (32 blocks) of total memory
• Anti-Counterfeit: The device has a unique
feature to distinguish between paid, unpaid or
returned merchandise.
• 928 bits (29 blocks) of user programmable
memory
• Inventory Management: Tag’s data can be read
or updated (written) in multiple tags and long
range environment. Its memory (32 blocks, 1 Kbit,
each block = 32 bits) is well organized for the
inventory management applications.
• Unique 32-bit tag ID (factory programmed)
• 32 bits for data and 16 bits for CRC per block
• Block write protection
• 70 Kbit/s read data rate (Manchester format)
• Special bit (Fast Read) for fast identification and
anti-counterfeit applications (EAS)
• Product Identifications
• Airline Baggage Tracking
• Book Store and Library Book ID
• 1-of-16 PPM encoding for writing data
• Interrogator-Talks-First (ITF) or Tag-Talks-First
(TTF) operation
• Low Cost Animal Ear Tags: The device’s long
range reading performance combined with 1 Kbit
of memory is suitable for animal tagging applica-
tions. Tag cost can be cheaper and read range is
much longer than existing 125 kHz conventional
animal ear tags.
• Long range for reading and writing
• High-speed anti-collision algorithm for reading
and writing
• Fast and Normal modes for write data speed
• Anti-tearing feature for secure write transactions
• Toys and Gaming Tools: Device’s anti-collision
feature for reading and writing allows to make
intelligent interactive toys and gaming tools.
• Asynchronous operation for low power
consumption and flexible choice of carrier
frequency bands
• Access Control and Time Attendance Cards:
Device’s long range performance allows to make
long range access control, parking lot entry, and
time attendance cards.
• Internal resonance capacitors
(MCRF451/452/ 455)
• Two pad connections for external antenna circuit
(MCRF452)
