The IC reference

RFID chips, compared by what matters

Protocol, memory and chip sensitivity from vendor datasheets. Match the chip to your reader and the tag to your object.

Frequently asked questions

Does a more sensitive chip guarantee a longer read range?

No. Datasheet sensitivity is a bare-chip value. The antenna design, tagged material, reader antenna and power determine the performance of the complete label.

Which memory capacity should I select?

Start with the identifier and application data your system needs to store. Check the actual chip record: EPC, user memory and TID are different memory regions.

Can a chip be changed without changing the antenna?

Some designs list several chip options. Ask us to confirm the chip and antenna pairing and validate samples before replacing a previously qualified configuration.
