NXP's transponders meet the security and performance requirements of modern vehicle immobilizer applications. Excellent device sensitivity (large distance) and short authentication time ensure easy application and outstanding system performance.
The following transponders have been specifically designed for car immobilizers where (re)programming of the identification code or storage of additional data is required.
The PCF7936 (HITAG 2) is a programmable security transponder employing mutual authentication with encrypted data transmission. It is ideally suited for vehicle immobilizer applications which require encrypted data transmission between the basestation and transponder.
The PCF7931AS (read only) and PCF7930AS (read/write) are immobilizer transponder sticks which transmit data bi-directionally, in half duplex mode, between basestation and the transponder.
The PCF7935 (SECT) is a programmable security transponder employing challenge/response authentication and is ideally suited for vehicle immobilizer applications, where encrypted data transmission between basestation and transponder is required.
