Our RFID reader IC and chip portfolio covers the main frequency ranges, including 13.56 MHz (High-Frequency) with HF NFC reader devices and 840-960 MHz (Ultra-High Frequency) with UHF RFID reader devices.
RFID readers are devices able to setup communications and interact with a tag or a controller. There are 2 main types: fixed and portable RFID readers, which can operate at different frequency ranges depending on the target applications.
