Product details
Overview
HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless 125 kHz HITAG 2 transponder IC in SOT500-2 (PLLMC) package, featuring 256-bit EEPROM (128-bit user memory), mutual authentication, and configurable public-mode A/B/C operation for RFID identification. It operates without internal battery, draws power via inductive coupling, and supports encrypted read/write in crypto mode or password mode.
For engineers reviewing the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ datasheet, HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ pinout, HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ application, or HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ equivalent, key selection factors include its ISO 11784/11785 compliance for animal ID, PIT-compatible public-mode C, 10-year data retention, 100,000 write cycles, and dual Biphase/Manchester coding for robust RF link integrity in industrial tracking systems.
Technical Context
The HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ implements a fully integrated analog RF front-end with ASK modulation, on-chip voltage regulator, charge pump, and digital sequencer - enabling autonomous operation from magnetic field energy alone. Its digital control block handles half-duplex communication, memory access arbitration, and cryptographic state management per configuration page settings.
Memory organization is fixed at 8 pages × 32 bits, with page-level read/write protection enforced by EEPROM flags. Mode selection (public-mode A/B/C, password, or crypto) is determined solely by the 8-bit configuration byte in Page 3, and no external components are required beyond the resonant coil.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 125 kHz - Enables compatibility with standard low-frequency RFID readers and coil designs used in industrial and livestock systems. |
| Total Memory Size | 256 bit - Structured as 8 pages × 32 bits, supporting secure serial number (Page 0), secret keys (Pages 1–2 in crypto mode), and user-configurable data storage. |
| User Memory Capacity | 128 bit - Dedicated writable space across Pages 4–7, protected individually via memory flags to prevent unauthorized overwrite or readout. |
| Data Retention | 10 years at ≤55 °C - Guarantees long-term reliability of stored asset IDs, animal tags, or calibration data without refresh. |
| Write Endurance | 100,000 cycles - Supports repeated reprogramming in logistics or maintenance tracking applications where tag data changes frequently. |
| Read Coding Schemes | Biphase and Manchester - Ensures interoperability with legacy and modern RWDs; choice affects timing tolerance and noise immunity in noisy environments. |
| Modulation Type | ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) - Standard for LF RFID; enables simple coil-based demodulation in cost-sensitive reader hardware. |
Pinout & Package
SOT500-2 (PLLMC) plastic leadless module carrier package, 35 mm wide tape format - designed for automated embedding into epoxy-encapsulated or injection-molded RFID tags; no exposed leads, optimized for coil integration and mechanical durability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LA / LB | Resonant Coil Interface | Differential RF port connecting directly to external LC tank; no external capacitors needed - input capacitance 189–231 pF sets resonant frequency with coil inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Mutual Authentication | Enables secure bidirectional verification between HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ and RWD before data exchange - prevents cloning and replay attacks in high-value asset tracking. |
| Configurable Public Modes | Three factory-selectable read-only modes (A/B/C) allow drop-in replacement of MIRO, μEM H400x, ISO-compliant animal tags, or PCF793x PIT transponders without reader firmware changes. |
| Selective Memory Protection | Per-page read/write lock bits let designers isolate sensitive configuration (Page 3) or secret keys (Pages 1–2) from user-accessible memory (Pages 4–7), enforcing layered security policies. |
| No External Components Required | Full RF interface, regulation, and sequencing integrated - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for discrete diodes, capacitors, or regulators in compact tag designs. |
| HALT Function for Multi-Tag Operation | Allows RWD to selectively deactivate HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ after reading, enabling reliable anti-collision in dense tag environments like warehouse pallets or livestock pens. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless 125 kHz transponder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HT2DC20S20/F/R | SOT385-1 package (smaller footprint, different tape width); identical electrical specs and memory map. | Better suited for space-constrained tags where module width must be minimized; same functional behavior in all modes. | Select HT2DC20S20/F/R when PCB or encapsulation cavity size requires narrower module carrier. |
| HT2ICS2002W/V6F/R | Unpackaged wafer die on FFC tape; no molded body; requires custom bonding and encapsulation. | Targeted at high-volume OEMs integrating directly into proprietary tag substrates - not plug-and-play replaceable. | Choose HT2ICS2002W/V6F/R only for vertically integrated tag manufacturing with assembly capability. |
Compared with HT2DC20S20/F/R and HT2ICS2002W/V6F/R, the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ offers standardized SOT500-2 packaging for rapid prototyping and contract manufacturing - balancing mechanical robustness, ease of handling, and full feature parity without wafer-level integration complexity.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency and modulation scheme of the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ?
The HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ operates at 125 kHz using ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) modulation for uplink communication to the reader. Its analog front-end is optimized for inductive coupling with standard LF reader coils, and it supports both Biphase and Manchester coding schemes for downlink data reception - ensuring compatibility across legacy and modern RWD platforms without external tuning components.
Does the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ require an external power source or battery?
No, the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ is a fully passive transponder. It derives all operating power from the magnetic field generated by the Read Write Device via inductive coupling through the LA/LB coil interface. The on-chip voltage regulator and charge pump convert this RF energy into stable internal supply rails - eliminating the need for batteries, wiring, or external power management circuitry in the tag design.
How is memory organized and protected in the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ?
The HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ contains 256 bits of EEPROM organized into eight 32-bit pages. Memory protection is implemented via programmable flags: Pages 0–3 hold serial number, keys, and configuration; Pages 4–7 store user data. Each page can be independently locked against read or write access using dedicated EEPROM bits - enabling granular security policies such as read-only serial number and encrypted write-only calibration data.
Which ISO standards does the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ support for animal identification?
The HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ supports ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 in public-mode B, delivering full compliance for animal identification systems. In this mode, it provides a standardized 32-bit read-only serial number and adheres to the prescribed transmission protocol, frame structure, and data encoding - enabling seamless integration with certified livestock scanners and national traceability databases worldwide.
Can the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ emulate legacy transponders like PCF793x?
Yes, the HT2MOA4S20/E/3/RJ supports PIT-compatible public-mode C, which emulates PCF793x transponders at the protocol and timing level. This allows direct replacement in existing immobilizer or access control systems without modifying reader firmware or coil design - preserving investment in legacy infrastructure while upgrading to a more secure, longer-lifecycle NXP device.
