Overview
• The PRM90U21C is a UHF RFID Reader hybrid module which integrates high performance UHF
RFID reader chipset, VC-TCXO, Low Drop Regulator, Balun, Coupler, Saw filter, Power amp,
Isolator and low pass filter.
• UHF RFID reader chipset uses PR9000 of PHYCHIPS which integrates 900MHz radio, baseband
processor, industry standard enhanced 8052 MCU, memory (64k Flash & 16k SRAM) and many
other features.
• This module fully compliant with ISO18000-6C/EPC Global Gen II reader protocol and provide all
functions of PR9000. Also reduce size, cost and power consumption.
