Mercury6e-MICRO

The Micro is designed to meet the demands of high performance RFID handheld, mobile, and stationary readers. This embedded UHF RFID Reader offers two antenna ports and supports the ability to transmit up to +30 dBm for demanding applications. The edge connections for signals, power, and RF allow the module to be soldered directly to a motherboard as a standard component. The on-board connectors allow the module to be mated to a motherboard as an add-on option.

Features of the Micro RFID reader module include:

• Small size: 46 mm L x 26 mm W x 4.0 mm H (1.6 in L x 1.0 in W x 0.16 in H)
• Support for the EPCglobal Gen2 (ISO 18000-6C) protocol (IP-X and ISO 18000-6B optional)
• Support for two monostatic RF antennas through U.FL connector or solder-down board-edge connections
• Separate read and write levels, command adjustable from -5 dBm to +30 dBm in 0.5 dB steps
• 28 solder-down board-edge connections or Molex low profile connector, providing access to DC power, communication, and GPIO signals
• UART and USB 2.0 control/data interfaces
• Two 3.3V bidirectional ports configurable as input (sensor) ports or output (indicator) ports
• North America, EU and PRC regions are supported with a single SKU
• Tag read rate of 750 tags/second using high-performance settings
• Maximum tag read distance of over 30 feet (9 m) with 6 dBi antenna
