RFIDNews | Impinj unveils durable packaged RFID tag chips

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

RFID solutions developer Impinj has announced the release of its packaged Monza 3 chips. The chips offer durability in harsh industrial applications and environments; the design of packaged chips enable a highly reliable soldered antenna connection that provide long performance lives.

The packaged Monza 3 chips are designed to fit well in electronics industry applications. Electronics manufacturers have leveraged RFID technology to track inventories and board revision histories, as well as combat counterfeiting and improve recall and customer service programs. Due to the Monza 3 chip’s small size and low profile, the tags can be easily integrated onto printed circuit boards with very little space available.

In addition to enabling sturdy attachment techniques, the Monza 3 chip’s package offers protection against a range of harsh temperatures, frequent temperature cycling, and other physical stresses.

Texas Instruments announces RFID mini-transponders for animal and asset tracking

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a pair of encapsulated RFID mini-transponders designed for applications in animal tagging and asset tracking.

The 12mm TRPGR30TGC and TRPGP40TGC mini-transponders were developed to enable users a battery-free solution for embedding RFID tags into smaller objects across a broader range of applications. These transponders come ready-to-use and are 100 percent backwards compatible with all of TI’s RFID software and readers including power modules, control modules and micro readers.

CEITEC unveils RFID chip for multiple logistics applications

CEITEC S.A. announced the final development of its integrated circuit for supply chain and manufacturing tracking: the CTC13000.

The CTC13000 offers a versatile, passive RFID chip the supports multiple logistic applications for asset tracking, from prototyping to final assembly, as well as inventory control and post-production. It can also be applied in end user applications such as airline baggage, grocery and medical assets.

STMicroelectronics unveils contactless method for RF testing

STMicroelectronics developed a new RF testing method that uses electromagnetic waves instead of contact probes to remotely evaluate wafers equipped with RFID ICs.

According to ST, this “contactless” approach results in higher yields, shorter testing times and lower product cost. In addition, contactless testing allows RF circuits to be tested under conditions that are close to the real application conditions.
