HTCM400

HTCM400 is the name of one of the universal and powerful product lines of our 125 kHz family. The contactless read/write system that works with passive transponders is suitable for various applications. Inductive coupling helps you to achieve operating distances up to 1000 mmand the use of cryptography guarantees highest data security.

Anticollision mode, which is used only in long range operation, allows you to handle several transponders that are within the communication field of the antenna at the same time, thus achieving highest operating security and permitting to handle several data transfers quickly and simultaneously. In this context anticollision becomes an essential element of applications such as ski-ticketing and long range access control. With applications of that type it will always happen that several transponders arrive in the communication field of the antenna at the same time. Nevertheless, the proximity application also prevents any type of malfunction even if several transponders arrive in the communication field of the antenna at the same time. The HTCM400 product family is used both in the proximity area (operating range up to approximately 200 mm) and in the long range area (operating range to approximately 1000 mm).

In both cases the HTCM400 core module forms the central part as illustrated in Figs 9 and 11.

The HTCM400 core module provides you with a universal, cost-effective and small module. The use of modular architecture guarantees versatile usability and easy integration into bigger systems. The HITAG core module enables communication with HITAG 1 and HITAG 2 transponders.

Easy integration and application of the HTCM400 core module is due to:
· Small size
· Uncomplicated interfaces.
Based on the core module delivered by Philips and using only a few additional components, every client can build his individually designed proximity reader without difficulty. Moreover, you can obtain the long range reader module HTRM800 (with an additional high frequency component) from Philips, if long range applications are required.
