Sentinel™ Memory
|
A unique and robust error correcting memory architecture. This architecture detects and fixes single bit errors and detects and flags dual bit errors. |
The most robust memory in the RFID industry. Immune to single bit errors (cosmic rays, chip damage etc). Provides customers reassurance the stored data is protected and data loss/corruption minimized. |
|
Best in class read sensitivity |
-22.5 dBm |
Allows smaller tags to be designed or larger read & write distances to be realized. |
|
Best in class write sensitivity |
-19 dBm |
|
|
Best in class memory reliability |
200,000 write cycles, two times that of competitors |
More robust memory for high-write applications |
|
96 and 128b EPC |
Support EPC size up to 128b for flexibility. |
Additional 32b allows storing of larger identifying information. |
|
128b user memory |
User memory for storage of additional application data. |
Enables Higgs-EC to be used in applications where more memory is required unlike many competitive IC’s. |
