OEM MIFARE and OEM ICODE reader boards

The OEM Reader boards are complete, embedded "Plug-and-Go" RFID read/writers with on-board PCB track antenna, LEDs and RS232 or USB host interfaces. The OEM Reader boards just need a 5-volt supply to be fully featured RFID systems (the USB interface version is powered directly from the USB bus).

The OEM-MIFARE board fully supports Mifare 1k, 4k, Ultralight and contactless read/write to Mifare ProX and SmartMX cards and tags.

The OEM-ICODE board fully supports Mifare 1k, 4k, Ultralight (as above) and ICODE SLI, Tag-it HF-I cards and tags.

The OEM Reader boards are based on the RWD-MIFARE / ICODE module designs (and use the same firmware) but have all components laid out on a single PCB. The design incorporates 5-volt supply filtering to ensure optimum performance and an antenna-trimming capacitor to adjust tuning for different environments. In addition, several connector options are provided with all the TTL-level control and communication signals available, as well as RS232 and USB.

The latest version of the OEM-MIFARE / ICODE firmware (also used on RWD-MIFARE / ICODE modules) has additional features that allow the automatic output of serial number (UID) or card memory data without any host intervention. Automatic data output can be serial or Wiegand protocol. A programmable "BEEP" output is provided to control an audible sounder or other external loads.

The OEM Reader firmware also makes extensive use of power-down and Sleep modes to achieve very low AVERAGE current consumption of down to 100uA (micro Amps), even when fully active. This makes the ib technology reader designs ideal for battery powered applications.

The OEM-MIFARE board is also available as a complete Reference design, with schematics, PCB layout Gerber files, Bill-of-Materials and design notes. For this Chip Set solution, the customer just buys the pre-programmed microcontroller and "copies" the design (full Reference Design Pack with sample pre-programmed microcontrollers provided).

Customer benefits from a proven, quick time-to-market Reader solution at minimum cost and with minimum engineering effort.
