SonMicro Electronics - IC and Modules for RF, RFID and Ethernet

SM125-EK GENERAL FEATURES

Quick development and demonstration of SM125 devices

Adapter or battery operation. Appropriate for most DC adapters those having 2.1mm female jack (range 7.5VDC-15VDC)

On board regulator for 5V and 3.3V operations. Easy to test applications with different voltage sources (* 3.3V requires different firmware version)

LCD connector for 2x16 LCDs.

GPIO and communication pins(I2C/UART) available

3x SMD LEDs can be used for visual effects

SMRFID - easy to use software

125 KHz RFID - COOL FEATURES

User Programmable Assembler Code( ~4K, can be extended).No need for external microcontroller

Upgradable with the specific softwares.Customizable according to user needs

Automatically decodes the Manchester RF 32 / 64 signals with strong manchester decode algorithm and makes data ready to be sent or processed

Supports Sequential Terminator property

Supports Programmable Byte Tracking (e.g. ‘E6’ Header used in T5530 transponders)

Supports Answer on Request AOR - Password Mode of Atmel/Temic Transponders

Calibrate-able: Programmable drive frequency and programmable gain amplifiers will calibrate Module for best reading / writing distance

Programmable time intervals for full power and sleep operation( Economic Power Mode)


	Since When, SonMicro 125 KHz RFID products are in the field?
	Since 2004, our 125 KHz products are in the field with %0 problem and 100% customer satisfaction. The new version SM125-V3 has been tested by us and by our customers in the field since November,2007. We beleive the new version will meet customers needs more and more ever than before.

	Do customization available?
	Modifications required by the customer can be accepted at no charge or it will be evalauted according to design complexity. SM125 V3 firmware has flexible options such as auto read mode, output trigger etc. so that custom requirements kept at minimum level. Moreover, SonMicro will release different firmware versions to meet different needs that can be used freely. Firmware versions can be tracked at Firmware Upgrade page. Currently we are working on driving multiplexed antennas with one module/chip to add another fantastic feature that no competitor offers.

	Can I use your 125 KHz RFID products for Animal Identification?
	For now, we dont support Animal Identification. Our module is capable of reading FDX-B Animal tags however the read range performance is not at desirable level for tiny, 1.5cm(~1/2 inch)length tags that are widely used. Thus the firmware version is not released to public. SonMicro has been working on a different hardware that supports FDX-B standard to be released in 2008.
