IXYS Integrated Circuits Division/Littelfuse introduces their NCD1015ZP low frequency, half-duplex (HDX), read-only RFID transponder. The NCD1015ZP operates at a resonant frequency of 134.2 kHz, has 64-bits of pre-programmed or custom-programmed identification data storage, and utilizes a 16-bit CRC error checking code generator to ensure data integrity. This transponder supports ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 standards.

Using the power acquired from harvesting the RF energy transmitted by the RFID reader, the passive transponder responds by sending out a 128-bit packet that contains the stored 64-bit data, a 16-bit CRC-CCITT error checking code, and the overhead bits necessary to ensure transmission recognition. The integrated ferrite antenna enhances the tag's reading distance over what is obtained by non-ferrite antenna designs, while the polyurethane encapsulating material boosts the mechanical robustness making the tag suitable for deployment in harsh environmental conditions.

The NCD1015 50 mm HDX RFID 64-bit data transponder is available with a pre-programmed identification code (ZP) or a custom-programmed identification code (ZPC). Typical applications include inventory management, ingress/egress discovery, real-time container tracking, manufacturing production flow control, vehicle identification, security access administration, and high value asset monitoring.
