The MLX90130 13.56-MHz HF RFID reader IC integrates an AFE and a built-in data framing engine for ISO15693, ISO14443A/B, and ISO18000-3 mode 1. It is designed to handle sub-carrier frequencies from 106 kHz to 848 kHz and baud rates up to 848 kbit/s.
Its digital section handles the low protocol layers from API to physical layer using advanced bit and frame decoding functions. It includes a digital demodulator based on sub-carrier detection and a programmable bit and symbol encoder/decoder.
It requires minimal external support components and allows the transmitter part to provide up to 70 mW RF power to a suitable antenna load. Its 256 bytes buffer allows buffering of an entire RFID frame.
The device offers 2 modes and 5 different states of operation allowing ultra low power consumption of the whole system. In hibernate state, power consumption is less than 10 µA while in ready state, the device consumes only 2.5 mA. It is packaged in a 5 x 5-mm QFN package and is rated for operation over 40 to 105C.(Contact company for pricing – available now)
