EM4324
1 kbit Read/Write, ISO 18000-6C / EPC C-1 G-2
Passive / Battery-assisted Passive Contactless IC
Description
EM4324 is a long range battery-assisted passive UHF RFID
tag IC compliant with the ISO 18000-6C / EPCglobal Class-
1 Generation-2 protocol. The chip offers an advanced
feature set (EPC+) leading to a performance beyond that of
standard Gen2 chips. Battery-assisted, EM4324 offers
superior reading range and reliability compared to purely
passive RFID solutions. The battery- assisted mode is
tailored to harsh environment applications where other
passive UHF solutions fail e.g. in the presence of water or
metal.
Moreover, the EM4324 current consumption has been
optimized to maximize the battery lifetime. Even if the
battery is flat, the chip continues to operate and to
communicate with the reader in passive mode.
The non-volatile memory size is 1024 bits enabling the
support of an ISO or EPC data structure. Besides the ISO /
EPC coding structure each chip is delivered with a 64-bit
Unique Identifier to ensure full traceability.
