Introduction
Industry leading modem architecture uses modern digital signal processing which ensures high read reliability
Self-jammer cancellation circuitry (market exclusive technology, ensures read reliability even with high antenna reflections)
Fully integrated voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with world wide RFID coverage
Integrated Power Amplifier (PA)
The Impinj® Indy®R2000 UHF Gen 2 RFID reader chip is a highly integrated, high-performance, low power, SiGe BiCMOS
device for EPC Gen2 / ISO18000-6C applications. The R2000 can also be programmed to support ISO18000-6B, iPico and iP-
X protocols. The Indy R2000 reader chip supports a zero intermediate frequency (ZIF) architecture in the worldwide UHF
industrial, science, and medical (ISM) band. The Indy R2000 reader chip comprises all of the RF and baseband blocks to
interrogate and receive data from compatible RFID tags, specifically:
•
•
•
•
• High compression point quadrature downconverting mixer
•
•
• Configurable digital baseband
• High speed synchronous serial bus or 4-bit parallel bus control
Integrated RF envelope detectors for forward and reverse power sense
Integrated multipurpose Analog-to-Digital Converts (ADCs) and Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs)
When used in the Indy R2000 Development Platform, which includes an example protocol processor and radio control
implementation, the result is a fully functional UHF Gen 2 RFID reader with market leading performance.
