RI-RFM-003B

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The Texas Instruments low-frequency (LF) reader module provides all the functionality required to communicate with Texas Instruments 134.2 kHz LF transponders which are available in a variety of form factors. The RI-RFM-003B radio frequency power (RFM) module is capable driving a variety of antennas with inductance ranges from 115µH to 117µH including TI standard RI-ANT-P02A stick antenna.

The RI-RFM-007 is designed to be connected to control module RI-CTL-MB2A (RS232 interface) or RI-CTL-MB6A (RS422/485 interface) which provides the interface to a host system, power supply connectors and additional I/O's. The RI-RFM-003B module in combination with a control module is well suited for usage in a broad range of applications including, but not limited to, access control, vehicle identification, container tracking, asset management and waste management applications.

The Series 2000 Mini Radio Frequency Module RI-RFM-003B is the interface between a 134.2 kHz HDX/FSK transponder and the Data Processing Unit.

RI-RFM-003B sends an energizing signal to the transponder, modulates the RF signal to send data to the transponder, receives the identification signal and processes it for digital decoding. The small size and low supply voltage make the Mini RF Module well suited for portable read/ write units.
