Company
EPC Gen2 Reader Chips for Handheld and
Embedded UHF Readers
The R901G and R902DRM are EPC Gen2 RFID reader
chips enabling battery-powered, small form-factor
handheld and embedded UHF reader systems. The
chips fully support ISO 18000-6C, and ISO 18000-
6A/B as well as proprietary protocols are
supported through the direct mode.
Adding a simple low-cost 8-bit microcontroller
completes a portable UHF reader system. In
embedded systems, the R901G / R902DRM can share
a common CPU with the rest of the system and
hence reducing BOM and enabling cost-efficient
solutions with minimum form factor.
The R902DRM also includes dense reader mode
function, which prevents reading conflicts in a
multi-reader environment.
• Enabling battery-powered, small form factor
handheld EPC Gen 2 readers
• No need for complex high-power micro, works
with a simple low-cost 8-bit micro
• R902DRM with dense reader mode
Development Kit
A complete development kit including a reader
board is available. The kit comes with demo
application and GUI software with source codes.
Typical Application – EPC Gen 2 RFID Reader System
