Product details

Overview

PG103001 from Microchip Technology is a contactless RFID development kit designed for 125 kHz microID tag evaluation and prototyping, supporting MCRF200 and MCRF250 ICs, featuring integrated power supply, RF Lab software, and interconnect cables for rapid system validation in anti-collision and sensor-enabled tagging applications.

For engineers reviewing the PG103001 datasheet, PG103001 application, PG103001 pinout (N/A - board-level tool), or PG103001 equivalent, this kit provides verified hardware-software integration for 125 kHz RFID tag design, reader interoperability testing, and functional validation of OTP memory programming, FSK modulation, and multi-tag field performance.

Technical Context

The PG103001 is a dedicated evaluation platform for 125 kHz microID passive tags, specifically targeting MCRF200 and MCRF250 ICs. It includes a programmable contactless programmer with FSK/PSK/ASK support and enables real-time anti-collision testing using burst-mode interrogation and configurable data rates (Fc/16 to Fc/128).

This kit implements direct coupling and resonant LC interface circuitry matching typical 125 kHz tag coil impedances (e.g., 5–10 Ω series resistance, 1–2 mH inductance), and supports NRZ, Bi-phase Differential, and Bi-phase Manchester encoding per MCRF200/250 specification.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Target ICs	MCRF200 and MCRF250 only - validated for 125 kHz OTP RFID tag programming and anti-collision verification
Operating Frequency	125 kHz carrier - matches standard low-frequency RFID reader field requirements and coil resonance tuning
Modulation Support	FSK, PSK, ASK - enables compatibility testing with commercial 125 kHz readers using industry-standard modulation schemes
Memory Interface	OTP programming via contactless interface - no physical probe required; supports serialized ID writing per SQTP protocol
Software Included	RF Lab Software - provides GUI-based control of modulation type, data rate, encoding, and anti-collision timing parameters
Power Supply	Integrated regulated DC supply - eliminates need for external bench supplies during tag characterization and read-range testing

FAQ

What is the primary function of the PG103001 development kit?

The PG103001 development kit serves as a complete hardware-software solution for evaluating and prototyping 125 kHz microID RFID tags, specifically supporting MCRF200 and MCRF250 ICs. It enables contactless OTP programming, anti-collision testing, and modulation validation without requiring custom reader hardware. The PG103001 integrates a programmable contactless programmer, power supply, cables, and RF Lab software to streamline tag design verification.

Which Microchip RFID ICs are compatible with PG103001?

The PG103001 is explicitly designated for use with MCRF200 and MCRF250 ICs, as confirmed in Microchip's official documentation (DS21228D). It does not support MCRF355, MCRF360, or MCRF45X families - those require DV103003 or DV103005 kits. The PG103001's circuitry, firmware, and RF interface are tuned to 125 kHz operation and OTP memory architecture unique to MCRF200/250.

Does PG103001 include software for configuring tag parameters?

Yes, the PG103001 includes Microchip's RF Lab Software, which provides a graphical user interface to configure data rate (Fc/16 to Fc/128), encoding (NRZ, Bi-phase Differential, Bi-phase Manchester), modulation (FSK, PSK, ASK), and anti-collision timing. This software directly controls the PG103001 hardware to validate tag behavior under real-world reader field conditions.

Can PG103001 be used to program custom serial numbers into MCRF200/250 tags?

Yes, the PG103001 supports factory-style serialized programming of MCRF200 and MCRF250 OTP memory via its contactless programmer. Using RF Lab Software, users can write unique 48-, 64-, 96-, or 128-bit ID codes aligned with industry standards. The PG103001 implements the SQTP protocol handshake required for secure, one-time programming of these microID ICs.

Is PG103001 suitable for production-level tag testing or only R&D?

The PG103001 is optimized for engineering validation and pre-production testing - not high-volume production programming. Its design prioritizes flexibility and debug visibility over throughput or automation. For production, Microchip recommends dedicated contactless programmers or wafer-level SQTP services. However, the PG103001 delivers repeatable, traceable test results essential for qualifying MCRF200/250 tag performance prior to manufacturing ramp.
