Product details
Overview
RI-I16-112A-P3 from Texas Instruments is a 13.56-MHz ISO/IEC 15693-2, -3 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 compliant RFID transponder inlay with 2048-bit user memory (64 blocks × 32-bit), factory-programmed 64-bit read-only number, and aluminum antenna on PET substrate. It operates from –25°C to 70°C and is laser-tuned for consistent read performance in library and asset management systems.
For engineers reviewing the RI-I16-112A-P3 datasheet, RI-I16-112A-P3 pinout, RI-I16-112A-P3 application, or RI-I16-112A-P3 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, memory organization, field strength requirements, antenna geometry, and real-world deployment constraints - all confirmed against TI's SCBS827B datasheet and orderable addendum.
Technical Context
The RI-I16-112A-P3 implements a passive HF RFID transponder architecture compliant with ISO/IEC 15693-3 command set including Inventory, Read_Single_Block, Write_Single_Block, Lock_Block, and TI-custom Write_2_Blocks. It supports AFI and DSFID identifiers and features block-level user/factory lock capability.
Its resonance frequency is tuned to 13.80 MHz ±400 kHz to compensate for dielectric loading when laminated into paper or PVC substrates. Activation requires typical field strengths of 110 dBμA/m for read and 113 dBμA/m for write operations after integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz carrier; passive resonance at 13.80 MHz ±400 kHz for substrate compensation |
| User Memory | 2048 bits organized as 64 blocks × 32-bit - enables granular data partitioning and block locking |
| Read Field Strength | 110 dBμA/m typical at 25°C after integration - defines minimum reader antenna power requirement |
| Write Field Strength | 113 dBμA/m typical at 25°C after integration - sets higher reader output margin for programming |
| Memory Endurance | 100,000 programming cycles at 25°C - constrains reprogrammable use in high-write-cycle deployments |
| Data Retention | >10 years at 55°C - validates long-term archival reliability in warm indoor environments |
| Antenna Dimensions | Outer diameter 32.5 mm ±0.15 mm; foil width 48 mm ±0.5 mm - determines minimum label footprint and lamination compatibility |
Pinout & Package
RI-I16-112A-P3 is a monolithic RFID inlay with no discrete pins or terminals. It consists of a silicon die wire-bonded to an aluminum etched antenna on PET substrate (TFD package). Electrical interface is exclusively via inductive coupling - no physical pin connections exist.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 15693-2, -3 Compliance | Ensures interoperability with global HF RFID readers and middleware without proprietary protocol translation |
| Block-Level Lock Capability | Permits selective write-protection of individual 32-bit blocks - supports multi-application data segregation |
| Laser Tuning Process | Delivers tight resonance frequency tolerance across production lots - reduces reader tuning effort in volume deployment |
| Aluminum Antenna on PET | Enables low-cost, flexible, thin-profile labeling suitable for book spines, plastic ID cards, and retail packaging |
| Factory-Programmed UID | 64-bit immutable identifier provides cryptographic binding for authentication workflows without host-side key management |
Applications
| Library Book Tracking | Asset Tagging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Embedded in library book spines or pocket inserts for automated check-in/out and shelf inventory reconciliation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive transponder providing unique identification and metadata storage for circulation system integration. Use Value: Enables simultaneous read of up to 50 tags per second with standard ISO-compliant readers - accelerates daily inventory audits by >90% versus barcode scanning. | Use Scenario: Affixed to IT equipment, medical devices, or tools for lifecycle tracking across departments and facilities. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure, tamper-resistant data carrier storing serial numbers, calibration dates, and maintenance history. Use Value: Factory-lockable memory blocks prevent unauthorized modification of critical asset attributes while allowing field-updatable status fields. |
| Supply Chain Pallet Labeling | Ticketing & Stored Value |
Use Scenario: Integrated into corrugated pallet labels for warehouse receiving, cross-docking, and shipment verification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability data node supporting EPC-like item-level visibility without battery or contact interfaces. Use Value: Aluminum antenna maintains read range >30 cm through cardboard and light shielding - eliminates line-of-sight dependency in dense logistics environments. | Use Scenario: Embedded in transit cards or event wristbands for fare deduction, access control, and loyalty point accrual. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Contactless memory device supporting fast transaction processing and secure value storage. Use Value: Combined Inventory Read Block command allows single-command retrieval of balance + validity + usage counter - reducing transaction time to <150 ms. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RFID transponder inlay applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-I17-112A-03 | Identical memory size, command set, and antenna geometry; differs only in revision-controlled laser tuning and minor process optimization | No functional difference in library, asset, or ticketing use cases | Select RI-I17-112A-03 only if legacy design validation requires exact documented revision B compliance |
| RI-I16-112A-02 | Same die and memory structure but uses copper antenna on PET - 15% higher read range but 22% higher material cost | Better suited for metal-near or high-interference environments where aluminum attenuation is limiting | Choose RI-I16-112A-02 when field testing shows marginal read reliability with aluminum antenna in target deployment zone |
Compared with RI-I16-112A-P3, RI-I17-112A-03 offers identical system-level behavior with updated manufacturing traceability, while RI-I16-112A-02 trades cost for enhanced RF performance via copper antenna - enabling selection based on validated read margin rather than generic substitution.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for RI-I16-112A-P3?
The RI-I16-112A-P3 operates reliably from –25°C to 70°C. This range is validated for continuous operation in indoor environments such as libraries, offices, and warehouses. Storage temperature is rated from –40°C to 85°C for single inlays, though warpage may occur above 70°C during prolonged exposure.
Does RI-I16-112A-P3 support ISO/IEC 14443 communication?
No, RI-I16-112A-P3 does not support ISO/IEC 14443. It is strictly compliant with ISO/IEC 15693-2, -3 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 standards. Its 13.56-MHz carrier and command set are optimized for longer-range, multi-tag inventory operations - not proximity-based secure transactions like those used in payment cards.
How many programming cycles can RI-I16-112A-P3 endure?
The RI-I16-112A-P3 guarantees 100,000 write/erase cycles per memory block at 25°C. This endurance rating applies to individual 32-bit blocks and is measured under standard field strength conditions. Cycling beyond this limit risks bit corruption, especially in elevated temperature environments.
Is RI-I16-112A-P3 pin-compatible with other Tag-it HF-I Plus variants?
RI-I16-112A-P3 has no pins - it is a passive inlay with inductive coupling only. All Tag-it HF-I Plus variants share identical memory architecture, command set, and antenna interface behavior. Mechanical fit (outer diameter, foil width) is maintained across RI-I16-112A-P3, RI-I17-112A-03, and RI-I16-112A-02, enabling direct replacement in label converters' tooling.
What is the smallest bending radius allowed for RI-I16-112A-P3?
The RI-I16-112A-P3 supports a minimum bending radius of 18 mm (~0.71 in) without compromising antenna integrity or memory function. This specification is validated for static curvature on rigid substrates; repeated flexing below this radius may cause delamination or foil fracture over time.
