MF RX852: A secure Reader IC solution from NXP
MIFARE RX852 from NXP Semiconductors is the first low cost, secure reader IC solution of its kind. It is available for a wide range of contactless reader applications that will offer solution developers and providers the benefits of a system in package (SIP), multi-chip, secured contactless reader IC. With AES and 3DES support, MIFARE RX852 uses widely adopted and open standards, enabling easy and fast solution development of infrastructures.
The use of secure elements such as a secure application module (SAM) in a contactless reader enables the handling of different interfaces and security. Customers that target higher security requirements are now able to significantly reduce their implementation time with the new MIFARE RX852. Typically, the secure element is directly connected to a microcontroller, which handles the secured communication within a contactless reader. This additional interface causes a latency which negatively impacts the overall performance of the total system. With the MIFARE RX852, customers benefit from having a direct connection between the secure element and the contactless reader IC, which removes the latency effect and, therefore, improves the overall speed of a reader system. In general, it leads to reduced complexity, effort and cost of implementation and it allows customers to considerably cut time-to-market.

HITAG µ
NXP announced its latest low frequency RFID IC aimed at livestock identification and industrial logistics, the HITAG µ. The new IC offers the highest RF performance for effective tracking of livestock with industry benchmark read distances. Due to a fast write command feature the product has been optimized for initial set-up, reducing the programming time by half compared to other solutions on the market. The HITAG µ builds on the concept and success of NXPs HITAG S IC, which has been leading in the market for low frequency RFID applications in the recent years. It is the first RFID chip for passive low frequency tags on the animal identification market to feature anti-collision technology. The algorithm ensures that multiple tags can be read at any given time allowing for individual animals in a herd to be identified. In other multiple tag applications, such as production control or asset management, the increased read distance, optimised anti-collision algorithm and reduced write times allow for a best in class identification solution, provided at competitive cost levels. The HITAG µ supports the existing ISO11784/85 and is fully compliant with the existing low frequency infrastructure in the market.
Key benefits for the HITAG µ include:
• Available in a new robust, affordable SOT (Small Outline Transistor) package, enabling all different assembly methods
• Optional security with 32-bit read and/or write password
