UHF RFID tag IC with 3.6kBit EEPROM and -19.5dBm sensitivity

Overview

ND6001 is intended for use in passive UHF transponder applications. IC derives its operating power from an RF electromagnetic field generated by a reader, which is received and rectified by the chip. The chip sends the answer back to the reader using a backscatter modulation technique. ND6001 chip provides a fast and flexible anti-collision protocol based on internal random number generator according to EPC standard. ND6001 supports all EPC C1G2 mandatory commands. The chip contains an embedded 3.6Kbit EEPROM organized in 4 banks.
