GENERAL DESCRIPTION
HITAG
(1)
is the name of one of the universal and powerful
product lines of our 125 kHz family. The contactless
read/write system that works with passive transponders is
suitable for various applications. Inductive coupling helps
youtoachieveoperatingdistancesupto1000 mmandthe
use of cryptography guarantees highest data security.
Anticollision mode, which is used only in long range
operation, allows you to handle several transponders that
are within the communication field of the antenna at the
same time, thus achieving highest operating security and
permitting to handle several data transfers quickly and
simultaneously. In this context anticollision becomes an
essential element of applications such as ski-ticketing and
long range access control. With applications of that type it
will always happen that several transponders arrive in the
communication field of the antenna at the same time.
Nevertheless, the proximity application also prevents any
type of malfunction even if several transponders arrive in
the communication field of the antenna at the same time.
The HITAG product family is used both in the proximity
area (operating range up to approximately 200 mm) and in
the long range area (operating range to approximately
1000 mm).
In both cases the HITAG core module forms the central
part as illustrated in Figs 9 and 11.
The HITAG core module provides you with a universal,
cost-effective and small module. The use of modular
architecture guarantees versatile usability and easy
integration into bigger systems. The HITAG core module
enables communication with HITAG 1 and HITAG 2
transponders.
Easy integration and application of the HITAG core
module is due to:
Small size
Uncomplicated interfaces.
Based on the core module delivered by Philips and using
only a few additional components, every client can build
hisindividuallydesignedproximityreaderwithoutdifficulty.
Moreover, you can obtain the long range reader module
HTRM800 (with an additional high frequency component)
from Philips, if long range applications are required.
