Top Different Types of RFID Chip

Looking for the perfect RFID chip for your project? Consider factors like project requirements, application, cost, and availability. Make the right choice with our range of high-quality RFID chips.

RFID tags are categorized into three groups based on their frequency ranges: low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF). In general, the lower the frequency of the RFID system, the shorter the read range and slower the data read rate.

RFID chips are compact integrated circuits found within RFID tags or labels. Despite their size, these microchips are intricately designed, housing essential components like controllers, memory, and microprocessors. The chip functions by harnessing energy from the antenna’s waves, with the reader processing this information to transmit data stored within the same circuit. Constant advancements in integrated circuit technology result in the release of new chips regularly, boasting larger internal memories and improved quality. Present-day chips offer a wide array of features, including password protection, data encryption capabilities, and the option for an EAS alarm system. Some chips even merge UHF RFID technology with NFC technology, exemplified by the EM4423.

Low Frequency (LF) RFID  125K – 134K

  • UID: It is the unique identifier of LF tags. Since there cannot be duplicates, this means each tag is unique worldwide. It is factory locked and cannot be changed. Some for read only, some both for read and write.
  • Password: A password can be entered so that no unauthorized person can write over the chip.
  • Memory: It is designed to write data that users need into 4-byte blocks.

High Frequency (HF) RFID  NFC  13.56MHz

  • UID: It is the unique identifier of NFC tags. Since there cannot be duplicates, this means each tag is unique worldwide. It is factory locked and cannot be changed. It has a 7-byte memory, which is equivalent to 14 hexadecimal characters. Example: 04 9C 64 D2 45 2B 80
  • Password: A password can be entered so that no unauthorized person can write over the chip.
  • Memory: It is designed to write data that users need into 4-byte blocks. The standard encoding format supported by all devices is NDEF. You can write URLs, dates, batches, locations, contacts, etc.
