HF, short-range RFID ICs

STMicroelectronics offers a wide range of reader ICs and tag ICs for contactless short-range applications such as transport, industrial identification and anti-counterfeiting.

These short-range applications use low-cost transponders embedded in plastic cards or paper tickets developped through partners. Transaction security is ensured by an optional state-of-the-art anti-clone algorithm. The products comply with the IS0 14443-B standard, 13.56 MHz carrier frequency.
 
Short-range common features

ISO 14443 type B frame compliant
13.56 MHz carrier frequency, 847 kHz subcarrier and 106 Kbit/s data transfer rate
ASK(1) data modulation for reader-to-card and BPSK(2) coding for reader-to-card
Internal tuning capacitor


(1)
ASK: amplitude shift keying
(2) BPSK: binary phase shift keying

Short-range products in SO16N packages

CR14
The CR14 is a short-range contactless coupler fully compliant with ISO 14443. The coupler uses anti-collision mechanism. This complete solution combining the CR14 coupler and SRxx chips ensures total compatibility in protocol access.

CRX14
The CRX14 is based on the CR14, with additionnal France Telecom’s proprietary anti-clone function which ensures SRxx chips total compatibility in protocol access and features secure anti-counterfeiting
