Overview
1.1 Introduction
id Systems‘ product range includes high performance hand-held units. computer interfaces and
OEM boards, capable of reading from and writing to a wide range of Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) tags and smart labels, operating at low (125/134kHz) and high (13.56MHz) frequencies.
The OEM board described in this guide supports high frequency tags and smart labels from
OMRON, Philips Semiconductors (LCODE), Texas Instruments (T ag-it) and Gemplus (FOLIO70),
and is specifically designed to operate with a remote (deported) antenna.
Product features include:
o Read/write support for tags and smart labels from OMRON. Philips (I.CODE), Texas (T ag-it)
and Gemplus (FOLIO70);
o Operates with a remote antenna. allowing a separation of up to 1m between a board and its
associated antenna;
0 ln System Programmability (ISP) provides powerful capabilities for upgrading firmware for
enhanced functionality and support for new tag types;
- Single supply operation (+5V) at low current (150mA when reading);
- Digital control of board power supply (board onloff);
. Low power modes, with board wake—up on external digital command or serial activity;
. Serial interface (at RSZSZ or TI'L levels) with tri—state serial "I'I'L buffer for total isolation within
embedded applications;
. Powerful serial protocol, including optional direct ASCII output of tag data on successful read;
0 Two software controlled digital outputs for LEDs (on or off board);
. I’C port for interfacing with external hardware (not supported in firmware);
- Small board size (approximately 52x70x13mm) with EMI/RFI screens fitted.
The OEM board provides a state of the art solution suitable for OEMs and System Integrators
requiring powerful yet cost—effective capabilities for reading from and writing to all leading
13.56MHz tags and smart labels. The board may be used as a stand-alone component, or as part
of a Basic or Enhanced OEM module, to provide additional facilities for demanding embedded
applications.
Remote antennas allow up to 1m separation between an OEM board and its associated antenna;
in addition, this approach offers decreased sensitivity to the antennas‘ immediate surrounding
environment, including electrical noise, metal and capacitive effects.
The use of an advanced In System Programmable (ISP) component allows firmware to be readily
and conveniently upgraded or modified to support new tags, or to provide enhanced functionality,
without hardware changes.
Low operating current, and a number of low power modes (including wake-up on external digital
command) make this board ideally suited for embedded applications.

Using the Board
2.1 Connecting to a board
The board requires a source of external power (+ 5V at 150mA), and an antenna. Power should be
connected to J1 pin 2 (+ 5\/) and pin 10 (UV). The supply should be 5V +/- 0.2V with less than
50mV ripple.
Connector J1 is part type Molex 53261-1090 (the mating part type is Molex 51021-1000)

Using the Board
There is no protection against over voltage on the board; therefore it is the responsibility of
the user to ensure that the correct power supply is applied.
A power on control signal (DTR) is provided on J1 pin 4. When this pin is pulled high (+5V) the
board will power up. When pulled low (OV) the board is in a powered down state, where it draws
less than 100pA. In this state the TI'L serial interface signals are high impedance.
The board will enter a low power sleep mode after a period of inactivity on the serial interface.
Wake up is achieved by one of two methods:
- Through transmission of a serial command to the board;
. By pulling J1 pin 3 low (OV) for longer than 250mS, which will cause the board to wake-up and
attempt a tag read. returning ASCII data via the serial interface. Keeping this pin low will place
the board in a continuous read mode (please see our serial protocol guide for configuration of
this option).

6 [DsR Not implemented
7 DCD Not implemented
8 [RTS Wake-Up signal from external source (TT L active_L)
9 BAT No connection should be made here
10 GND UV
Table 2 - Pin allocation of connector J1
An extemal antenna is attached via the cc-axial connector on the rear of the board (see section
2.5).
2.2 Processor
The board uses a powerful Atmel AVR processor to control all functionality. An In System
Programming (ISP) capability is available at J4, for downloading firmware. This is currently only
available for use by id Systems.
2.3 Serial interface
Connector J1 provides access to a three wire RSZ32 or ‘I'I’L compatible serial interface via pins 3,
5 and 10. Standard configuration is an R8232 interface; please contact id Systems if you wish to
change this to a TTL interface.
The default serial parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits. no parity, 1 stop bit. An optional baud
rate of 19200 may be implemented by linking solder pad J3. The serial protocol that allows
communication with the board is described in the corresponding guide (ace-232).

Using the Board
2.4 LED indicators
Two LED indicators (LED D5 and LED D7) are provided. D5 is a standard 3mm LED which can be
soldered directly on the board, or via two wires for mounting off-board. D7 is either a 0805 SMD
LED for board mounting, or a standard 3mm LED connected to J2 for external mounting; it is
recommended that either D7 or J2 is used, not both. D5 and D7 are controlled using the serial
command CL_Set/0.
2.5 Antenna
A number of remote antennas are available from id Systems to support this OEM board, and we
recommend the use of these antennas to ensure optimum read/write ranges are achieved. Remote
antennas are supplied ore—tuned for optimal performance; please do not make adjustments.
The maximum capacitance of the antenna connecting lead should not exceed 100pF if quoted
range performance is to be maintained.
2.6 Read/write ranges
Typical read/write ranges are summarised in Table 3. Range figures assume optimum orientation
of the tag and readers antennas, in an EMIIRFI clean environment, with no metallic objects
nearby.
Please note that read/write range will change according to antenna size and quality factor. The
ranges summarised below are typical for an ant-hf2 antenna, with tags the same size as ISO credit
card format.
Read range (mm) 5 to 80 5 to 80
Write range (mm) 1 10 to 70 15 to 60
Table 3 - Typical read/write ranges
2.7 Mechanical
Mechanical data for the board is provided in Appendix A. Four 2.8mm mounting holes are provided
in the corners of the board, suitable for 2.5mm diameter screws. Please ensure that insulating
spacers are used for mounting.
Using the Board
