Product Details
ThingMagic M1-Mini Shielded (HF) Embedded RFID Reader Module
The ThingMagic® M1-Mini Embedded HF RFID Reader for OEM designers is the world's smallest, self-contained embedded HF RFID reader. This reader enables the capability of any industrial or medical portable device to read and write to ISO 15693 tags. The M1-Mini's transponder reads at a high-frequency, 13.56 MHz, with an effective range of 3.5 to 5.0 cm with the option to extend its read range by attaching to a 50-ohm external antenna. Further, the module has a customizable power scheme to improve power efficiency in battery-operated devices, controlled by configuring the on-board power regulator between 3.2 and 6 V, and by using the Start-Up command and Sleep Mode, which sets current as low as 50 μA. Three host interfaces are available for maximum flexibility: UART (TTL) adjustable baud rate of 4800 57600 bps, I2C ranged up to 400 kHz, and SPI ranged up to 3 MHz.
Note: This product is a reader module, NOT a finished RFID reader, and is meant for OEM and developers to embed into products or to be used in the creation of a new finished reader. If you are interested in an existing finished reader product, check out our line of finished ThingMagic readers.
