The SIC9100 HiRead-R is a single-chip reader ASIC for 13.56- MHz RFID/contactless ISO14443 Type-A standard protocols, including MIFARE classic cards. The HiRead-R provides a hi-speed SPI controller/host interface with a built-in 64-byte FIFO for smooth data transfer. Furthermore, the embedded codec is capable of handling all bit-level coding/encoding, encrypting/decrypting as well as frame-level manipulation for transmission and reception. The chip is well suited for mobile devices due to its low power consumption and low operating voltage from 2.7-3.3 V. The on-chip 3.3V regulators are provided to stabilize the chip’s power, and simultaneously supply the power to the external companion microcontroller up to 80mA.

The SIC5600, HiRead-T®, is the industry’s latest evolution in fully ISO15693 compliant RFID IC, guaranteeing reliable R/W data storage with rapid anti-collision in item-level tagging, logistics, and SCM applications. The Silicon Craft HiRead-T® delivers the world’s first innovative "Zero-Gap Stackable Technology" engineered to enable reliable multi tag stack reads without the added complexity and cost of a multi-dimension antenna design.
