TAGREADER IC

Fully integrated CMOS transceiver IC

The TagReader base station IC is a fully integrated CMOS transceiver IC minimising the influence on reading/writing distances caused by the given tolerances of the primary resonance circuit.


It is intended for use in an automotive immobilizer RFID base station with the
following functions:

 

  • Antenna driving with carrier frequency by internal PLL, or external clock.
  • Integrated PLL system to achieve self adaptive carrier frequency matched to
    the antenna resonant frequency.
  • 100% AM modulation (OOK) of the field for writable transponders.
  • AM demodulation of the antenna signal modulation induced by the
    transponder modulation.
  • Two sampling points for demodulation to avoid the “Zero crossing” effect.
  • Communication with the microcontroller via a 3 wire interface.
  • Only a few external components are needed to ensure a very cost efficient
    and reliable solution for the ever increasing demands of automotive
    industry.
  • Frequency range of 100 – 150 KHz perfectly matches the SOKYMAT
    AUTOMOTIVE transponder portfolio.
  • Self diagnostic features are implemented including optional reading of
    PLL lock frequency to assist in more reliable transponder communication.
