Murata delivers RFID devices with I2C interface

Murata has commenced mass production of the LXMS2HACNF-165 RFID device that features a wired I2C interface.

Conforming to the RFID standards ISO/IEC 18000-6C, EPC global C1G2 and operating in the 900 MHz frequency band, this device is the latest addition to the surface mount MAGICSTRAP RFID family of devices.

The addition of an I2C interface to the UHF RFID device means that the data of an IC mounted on the customer’s equipment and connected to it can be read using an UHF RFID-Reader/Writer.

Likewise the data in the RFID device can be read by an IC. Using an I2C MAGICSTRAP device makes it possible to achieve lower power consumption compared to other RF-technologies since power necessary for the communication is supplied by the reader/writer.

Access to the RFID device is even possible when the power of the device equipped with the MAGICSTRAP is turned off. In addition, with the I2C MAGICSTRAP a wireless interface can be implemented at a lower cost than Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee as use of UHF RFID does not require certification on tag side.

The I2C interface extends the possible applications far beyond the use of previous MAGICSTRAP RFID tags which have been in the areas of process management, commodity management or traceability.

Potential applications for this new RFID device include management of memory settings of consumer appliances prior to shipping. For example, the settings of equipment can be changed even when it is packaged in a carton box immediately before shipment.
