UCODE 7
NXP’s UCODE 7 IC is the leading-edge EPC Gen2 RFID chip that offers best-in-class performance and features for use in the most demanding RFID tagging applications.
Particularly well suited for inventory management application, like e.g Retail and Fashion, with its leading-edge RF performance for any given form factor, UCODE 7 enables long read distance and fast inventory of dense RFID tag population. With its broadband design, it offers the possibility to manufacture true global RFID label with best-in-class performance over worldwide regulations.
The device also provides a pre-serialized 96-bit EPC and a Parallel encoding feature. For applications where the same 58-bit Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) needs to be encoded on multiple tags, at the same time, a combination of both features improves and simplifies the tag initialization process.
On top UCODE 7 offers a Tag Power Indicator for RFID tag initialization optimization and a Product Status Flag for Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) application.
