EM MICROELECTRONIC EMDB411 Description The EM4298 Development Kit provides the hardware and software to demonstrate the features of EM4298 UHF reader encoder/decoder IC and simplify the prototype development of UHF reader designs. The EM4298 Development Kit hardware comprises two printed boards; the demo board 2 equipped with the ARM7 based microcontroller and EM4298 IC, and the tag board. General Function The microcontroller controls the high level UHF protocol processing by issuing the selected protocol commands to the EM4298 IC. EM4298 IC generates corresponding Tx serial signal that can be used as the UHF analog front end modulator input. In the EM4298 Development Kit, digital Tx signal is driving the UHF transponders directly. In opposite direction, the UHF transponder “backscatter” digital modulation signal is connected from the tag board to the EM4298 IC I and Q digital channel inputs. EM4298 IC detects and samples such responses automatically so that the microcontroller can process them. The reader firmware can be upgraded via the USB port. The EM4298 Development Kit supports the following directly connected transponder ICs: EM4122 / EM4222: iPX 64 bit Read Only UHF transponder EM4444: iPX 512 bit RW UHF transponder EM4223: ISO18000-6A Read Only UHF transponder All the latest documentation versions are published on EM Microelectronic website www.emmicroelectronic.com Reader items EM4298 DemoBoard2 PCB EM4298 Tag Board Interconnection rebound cable 2 EM4222 transponder ICs (without the antenna, mounted on dedicated PCBs) q 5V AC/DC power supply (100-240V AC) q USB cable q CDROM q q q q CDROM content q Development application software q Demonstration application software q Microcontroller firmware source files (written in C language) q Hardware schematic and PCB Gerber Files (layout) q Product Datasheets q Application Notes Ordering Information To order, please, use exact Part Number: Description Part Number EM4298 RFID Development Kit EMDB411 EM Microelectronic-Marin SA cannot assume responsibility for use of any circuitry described other than circuitry entirely embodied in an EM Microelectronic-Marin SA product.
