The ICODE interface platform currently comprises:
ICODE SLI family 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. With the ICODE SLI-S, the ICODE family has been extended with increased user memory and password protection for memory access and EAS. Plus, ICODE SLI-S provides additional privacy and kill functionality. Its excellent RF characteristics enable robust and reliable performance in industrial environments. The ICODE SLI-L is a cost-optimized IC for applications requiring ISO15693 / ISO18000-3 compliance and smaller memory size. Despite its lower memory, the SLI-L ensures the same robust performance as the SLI-S.
ICODE SLI-X family
The ICODE SLIX family (ICODE SLIX, SLIX-S, SLIX-L) is the next generation of the ICODE SLI family, featuring the same functions but with improved RF performance. It provides up to 20% higher read distances and lower detuning influence, which pushes system reliability to the next level. Furthermore, all members of this product family support additional password protection for EAS and AFI. With 50 years guaranteed data retention it’s ideal for libraries, archives and other long-term applications.
