Product Datasheet for the Melexis MLX90121 RFID Transceiver IC
Features
13.56MHz
Conforms with ISO / IEC 14443A / B & 15693
Provision for EPC standard compliance
Programmable encoder and decoder for custom protocols
Low external component count
The MLX90121 is an ISO compliant 13.56MHz RFID transceiver IC with user selectable modulation depth in write mode and single sub-carrier ASK, FSK and PSK modulations are recognized in the read mode.
The receiver is based on a diode envelope detector, followed by an IF filter and amplifier. A logarithmic amplifier is used for single subcarrier ASK detection, ensuring fast and clean data recovery. The limiting output of this amplifier is used for FSK and PSK recovery.
The transmitter uses a built in open drain output transistor, which can provide up to 250mW of RF power to a 50Ohms load with a 5V power supply using the recommended matching network. This is suitable for most short to mid range applications.
A simplified antenna and matching network can be used, at the expense of a reduced reading range, for example in hand-held reader applications. The chip is configured with a serial interface and a synchronization signal is available when the majority voting is used.
The digital part contains ASK, FSK (423KHz / 484kHz ) and PSK ( 847KHz ) decoders and a programmable encoder to facilitate data handling with a low cost microcontroller. The encoder can be programmed with 6 different patterns. The chip can also be used as an analog frontend, in direct mode.
