ICODE

Specifically designed for high volume logistics involving millions of items per year, ICODE offers a low-cost, re-programmable and disposable solution for source tagging, automatic data capture, theft protection and data storage on a product or its packaging.

ICODE is the industry standard for high-frequency (HF) smart label solutions. With more than 700 million ICs sold, representing the world's largest installed base, ICODE is a proven and reliable technology. The entire ICODE family is supported by ISO 15693, ISO 18000-3 and EPCglobal compliant infrastructure. Developed in close cooperation with end users and system integrators, it delivers the best price / performance ratio on the market.

ICODE is an open platform, available to any company willing to develop, market and sell ICODE-compatible products and services. Thanks to our Open Value Chain Strategy, NXP is your ideal partner to deliver benchmark RFID solutions globally - whether you're a smart label manufacturer, component supplier or system integrator.

The ICODE Interface Platform currently consists:

  • ICODE SLI is the industry leading product for ISO15693/ ISO18000-3 compliant applications. It offers benchmark RF performance, highest quality and an optimized feature set for a large variety of applications.
  • ICODE SLI-S is the first ISO15693/ ISO18000-3 product with password protected memory for increased security needs. It features a total memory of 2k bit and offers a “kill” command.
  • ICODE SLI-L is a cost optimized IC for applications requiring ISO15693/ ISO18000-3 compliance and smaller memory size. Its excellent RF characteristic enables robust and reliable performance in industrial environments.
  • ICODE UID-OTP is a dedicated solution for item-level RFID tracking in pharmaceutical supply chains. It supports the EPC numbering conventions and faster read rates of up to 200 labels per second. It offers a NXP-programmed UID and features a “kill command” to ensure customer privacy.
  • The latest addition to the interface platform is the ICODE SLI-SY. With 40 years guaranteed data retention it is the ideal choice for libraries, archives and long-term asset management where items need to be stored for long period of time. The IC is ISO15693/ ISO18000-3 compliant and holds a total memory of 2k bit.
  • ICODE Reader Components include reader ICs, and evaluation kits conforming to ISO 15693/18000 and EPC standards.
