New long range, high performance, fixed reader compatible with EPC Class 1 UHF RFID GEN 2 protocol
austriamicrosystems in partnership with Infinite Electric are pleased
to announce the release of Infinite Electric’s INR 100 long-range
reader. The device has been developed using austriamicrosystems’
market leading EPC Class 1 Gen 2 UHF RFID reader IC. INR 100 is
positioned for use in mid to long range interrogator systems and high
performance applications.
austriamicrosystems’ AS3990/91 UHF RFID Gen 2 reader chip, co-developed with IDS, is designed to be easily adapted to a wide range of product requirements. This enables customers to have one software interface for multiple products that individually optimize on portable, fixed, short, or long range applications. The “SimplyGen 2” solution allows customers to focus more time on their IP and time to market, and less on RFID technology.
The “SimplyGen2” AS3990/91 is a single chip, EPC Class 1 Gen 2, UHF reader IC. Ideally suited to a wide range of applications, it enables a single core design that can be spun into a family of products. The device includes an EPC Class 1 Gen 2 protocol engine for fast time to market, and is available with an integrated PA to further reduce the BOM. With its power optimizing functions, the IC enables customers to achieve the lowest power designs, while the optimal performance supports long range designs, such as Infinite’s INR 100.
“Infinite Electric’s fast development of their long range reader, using the AS3990, highlights the simplicity and versatility of this IC,” commented Kambiz Hayat-Dawoodi, Business Manager Wireless at austriamicrosystems. “We are excited about the family of products that Infinite will release as part of the SimplyGen2 portfolio.”
"Selecting the austriamicrosystems’ AS3990 reader chip for developing our INR100 UHF RFID long-range reader was the right decision. The high-performance analog parts and EPC Class 1 Gen 2 protocol engine integrated in the reader chip helped our small team for a fast implementation of a reliable INR100 reader, including the successful featuring of the RS-232, RS-485 and LAN interfaces. In partnership with austriamicrosystems, we are assured to introduce INR100 reader as our new product line timely to the growing RFID market in Thailand.” said Montri Wanna, Managing Director of Infinite Electric (Thailand), Co., Ltd.
The AS3990 is available in QFN 64 9x9 mm package and is specified for -45 to 85° C.
