Datasheet - production data
Description
The ST25RU3993 is an EPC Class 1 Gen 2 RFID
reader IC that implements all the relevant
protocols, including ISO 18000-6C, the ISO
29143 air-interface protocol for mobile RFID
interrogators, and ISO 18000-6A/B for operation
in direct mode. It includes an on-chip VCO and a
power amplifier, and offers a complete set of
RFID features including Dense Reader Mode
(DRM) functionality and support for frequency-
hopping, low-level transmission coding, low-level
decode, data framing and CRC checking.
The ST25RU3993 operates at very low-power,
making it suitable for use in portable and battery-
powered equipment such as mobile phones.
Packaged in a 7x7 mm QFN, the ST25RU3993 is
able to deliver very high sensitivity and provides
high immunity against the effects of antenna
reflection and self-jamming. This is critical in
mobile and embedded applications, in which
antenna design is often compromised by cost or
size constraints. High sensitivity enables the end-
products to achieve their required read range
while using a simpler and cheaper antenna, thus
reducing overall system cost.
Thanks to its high level of integration, the
ST25RU3993 requires only an external 8-bit
microcontroller to create a complete RFID reader
system, thus eliminating the need for a complex
RFID co-processor.
