UCODE G2XM and UCODE G2XL ensure to keep track of your products throughout manufacturing. These passive RFID chip solutions make pallet-, case- and item-level tracking reliable and cost-effective, helping stop counterfeiting while speeding up inventory checking. A unique password protected custom command set such as electronic article surveillance (EAS) for increased theft protection, read protect in order to prevent unauthorized memory access and calibrate, allowing the optimization of the reader-to-tag communication link.
UCODE G2XM and UCODE G2XL are EPCglobal C1G2 1.0.9 certified and compliant to EPCglobal C1G2 1.1.0. The devices provide unsurpassed UHF performance over the entire UHF bandwidth, with reliable operation in dense reader environments and over long read ranges. They feature an extended, 240 bit EPC number and 64 bit tag identifier including a 32 bit unique serial number. In addition, UCODE G2XM provides a 512 bit on-chip dedicated user memory.
Ideal for supply chain and logistics applications requiring high speed operation, UCODE passive UHF transponder ICs offer high anti-collision rates and long operating distances, and can help protect your brand.
NXP’s UCODE EPC Gen2 (SL3 ICS1001) is the first chip to comply with EPCglobal’s Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Electronic Product Code (EPC) Class 1 Generation 2 (G2) standard. Through a flexible implementation of the application field identifier (AFI), the IC supports both EPCglobal and ISO 18000-6C coding structures. UCODE EPC Gen2 offers 224 bit user memory and a 64 bit tag identifier.
The UCODE HSL (SL3 ICS3001) is a dedicated chip for passive, intelligent tags and labels. Its RF interface allows high-speed bi-directional data transmission, while the advanced anti-collision and collision arbitration techniques allow writing to / reading from multiple labels simultaneously. UCODE HSL offers 216 byte user memory and a 64 bit unique identifier.
