Note: These are stress ratings only. Stresses exceeding the range specified under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may
cause substantial damage to the device. Functional operation of this device at other conditions beyond those listed
in the specification is not implied and prolonged exposure to extreme conditions may affect device reliability.

The HT672Ais an RF transponder IC with 13.56MHz RF carrier, which provides a low cost battery less transponder solution when combined with an external inductor. The inductor and internal capacitor form an LC tank which induce voltage from the radiated 13.56MHz carrier signal generated from the reader antenna. HT672A has a built-in low power RC oscillator which is activated if the induced carrier field strength is high enough to supply the operating current and the response signal (pre-programmed in the OTP memory) is serially transmitted out. The response data is transmitted using PWM/ASK modulation. Modulation of 13.56MHz is accomplished by damping the LC tank with a fixed baud rate.

The transmission information is stored in a 96 bits one time programmable memory OTP, with a 16-bit CRC code (up to 64 bits reserved for customer). The effective detection range for a small sized antenna is 2cm~10cm which is dependent on antenna format & reader design. The larger the antenna loop used the longer the detection range. HT672A is advisable to use larger antenna to attain a 15 cm detection range.

Implementing Holtek's advanced OTP and low power technology, HT672A offers a very cost effective solution for RF contact less detection system.

A code area of 64-bits (max.) wide is provided so customers can program the device HT672A using the specified programmer supplied by Holtek. The pre-programmed ICsare also available upon customer's request.
