Responding to growing demand for RFID tags that can store detailed product information for specialised applications, RFID technology provider Impinj has unveiled two enhanced chips: Monza/ID chips with factory-programmed product ID numbers, and Monaco/64 chips with user-programmable memory space.
Apparently ideal for anti-counterfeiting applications, Monza/ID chips are pre-programmed with unique identification numbers and protected against erasure and overwriting. 116.30.145.87 This article is copyright 2006 UsingRFID.com.
Monaco/64 chips provide 64 bits of user-rewritable memory and extend Gen 2 RFID tag data storage capabilities beyond the standard electronic product code (EPC) to include additional user-defined information. Monaco/64 chip memory can be programmed and read repeatedly to keep data timely and accurate, or data can be locked to prevent subsequent alteration.
Applications
The Monaco family of chips targets industries and applications with specific data storage requirements, such as:
Airline industry: baggage handling information; equipment maintenance and inspection data;
Pharmaceutical industry: electronic pedigree; manufacturing lot and date code; expiration date;
Retail supply chain: manufacturing plant location; warranty information;
Sensor industry: temperature and humidity fluctuations; chemical and radiation exposure data.
Roots in the past
Part of Impinj''s "GrandPrix Gen 2" solution, the Monza/ID and Monaco/64 chips are based on the company''s existing semiconductor technology and have the same footprint and performance characteristics as Impinj''s existing Monza Gen 2 RFID chips, which support basic EPC tracking.
Monza/ID and Monaco/64 chips also use the same antenna designs as Monza, allowing RFID tag manufacturers to easily incorporate the new chips into their tag products.
Production quantities of Monza/ID and Monaco/64 chips are available immediately, with additional chips in the Monaco product line being under development ready for release later this year.
