EM4100 Read Only Contactless Identification Device Description Features The EM4100 (previously named H4100) is a CMOS 64 bit memory array laser programmable integrated circuit for use in electronic Read Only RF Several options of data rate and coding available Transponders. The circuit is powered by an external coil On chip resonance capacitor placed in an electromagnetic field, and gets its master On chip supply buffer capacitor clock from the same field via one of the coil terminals. By On chip voltage limiter turning on and off the modulation current, the chip will send Full wave rectifier on chip back the 64 bits of information contained in a factor y pre- Large modulation depth due to a low impedance programmed memory array. modulation device The programming of the chip is performed by laser fusing Operating frequency 100 - 150 kHz of polysilicon links in order to store a unique code on each Very small chip size convenient for implantation chip. Very low power consumption The EM4100 has several metal options which are used to define the code type and data rate. Data rates of 64, 32 Applications and 16 periods of carrier frequency per data bit are Logistics automation available. Data can be coded as Manchester, Biphase or Anticounterfeiting PSK. Access control Due to low power consumption of the logic core, no supply Industrial transponder buffer capacitor is required. Only an external coil is needed to obtain the chip function. A parallel resonance capacitor of 74 pF is also integrated.
