Product details
Overview
RI-TH1-CB2A-00 from Texas Instruments is an ISO/IEC 15693-compliant 13.56 MHz vicinity transponder badge with 2 kbit user memory (64 × 32-bit blocks), factory-programmed 64-bit read-only ID, and support for on-the-fly read/write operations including data locking. It enables secure, portable credential storage for physical access control systems requiring biometric integration and encryption.
For engineers reviewing the RI-TH1-CB2A-00 datasheet, RI-TH1-CB2A-00 pinout, RI-TH1-CB2A-00 application, or RI-TH1-CB2A-00 equivalent, key selection criteria include required activation field strength (99 dBµA/m read, 102 dBµA/m write), simultaneous identification capability (up to 50 tags/sec), 100,000 programming cycles, >10-year data retention, and ISO 7810-compliant dimensions (85.6 × 54 × 0.76 mm).
Technical Context
This passive RFID badge operates in the 13.56 MHz ISM band using inductive coupling and conforms strictly to ISO/IEC 15693-1/2/3 for air interface, command set, and anti-collision. It implements a 64-bit unique factory-programmed identifier and supports block-level write protection, fast read mode, and single/multiple tag polling.
The device requires no internal power source and derives operating energy from the reader's RF field. Its 2 kbit EEPROM memory is organized into 64 addressable 32-bit blocks, each individually lockable, enabling granular access control for credentials, medical records, or time-stamped audit logs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standard Compliance | ISO/IEC 15693-1/2/3: ensures interoperability with multi-vendor readers and standardized command execution |
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz: enables use with globally deployed HF RFID infrastructure and avoids regulatory licensing |
| User Memory | 2 kbit (64 × 32-bit blocks): supports multi-application credential storage (e.g., access + biometric template + emergency data) |
| Activation Field Strength | 99 dBµA/m (read), 102 dBµA/m (write): defines minimum reader field intensity needed for reliable operation at typical read distances |
| Programming Endurance | 100,000 cycles: supports frequent credential updates (e.g., daily access revocation or time-based permissions) |
| Data Retention | >10 years at +25°C: guarantees long-term validity of stored credentials without battery or refresh circuitry |
| Physical Dimensions | 85.6 × 54 × 0.76 mm (ISO 7810 ID-1): ensures compatibility with standard badge holders, card printers, and slot readers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-Programmed 64-bit UID | Eliminates cloning risk and enables global uniqueness-no two RI-TH1-CB2A-00 badges share the same identifier |
| Block-Level Write Protection | Allows selective locking of memory blocks (e.g., preserve factory ID while updating user data) |
| Simultaneous Tag Identification | Supports up to 50 tags/sec throughput-critical for high-traffic access points like building lobbies or transit gates |
| In-the-Field Programmability | Enables dynamic credential updates (e.g., time-stamped access grants) without returning badges to central issuance |
| PVC Construction & Thermal Print Compatibility | Permits direct personalization via industry-standard thermal transfer printers-reduces deployment lead time and cost |
Applications
| Corporate Physical Access Control | Hospital Staff Credentialing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Employees use badges to enter secured zones (labs, server rooms, executive floors) with real-time permission validation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive RFID transponder storing encrypted authorization tokens and biometric templates locally on the badge. Use Value: Eliminates dependency on networked door controllers for basic access decisions-enables offline operation during network outages. | Use Scenario: Clinical staff carry badges containing role-based access rights, emergency contact info, and blood type. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure, tamper-resistant memory carrier for time-critical medical identity verification at point-of-care terminals. Use Value: Reduces patient identification errors by embedding immutable clinical data directly on the badge-no database lookup latency. |
| University Campus ID System | Secure Event Badging |
Use Scenario: Students and faculty use one badge for building access, library checkouts, meal plans, and printing services. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multi-application credential platform with independently lockable memory blocks per service domain. Use Value: Enables decentralized service provisioning-dormitory access keys can be updated without affecting library privileges. | Use Scenario: Attendees receive time-limited, venue-specific badges for conferences or restricted exhibitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Short-duration credential with programmable expiration and session-specific encryption keys. Use Value: Supports just-in-time badge issuance and automatic deactivation post-event-no manual recall required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar vicinity RFID badge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-TH1-CB3A-00 | Includes 3-track high-coercivity magnetic stripe per ISO 7811; identical RFID core and memory structure | Required where legacy magstripe readers coexist with RFID infrastructure (e.g., hybrid door systems) | Select RI-TH1-CB3A-00 only if dual-interface (RFID + magstripe) functionality is mandated by existing hardware |
| Tag-it™ HF-I Plus (RI-TH1-HF1P) | Same ISO 15693 compliance and 2 kbit memory, but in inlay format (no PVC card body or punch area) | Suitable for embedding into custom enclosures, wristbands, or laminated ID cards-not for direct thermal printing | Choose RI-TH1-HF1P when integrating RFID into non-standard form factors or OEM assemblies |
Compared with RI-TH1-CB2A-00, RI-TH1-CB3A-00 adds magstripe compatibility at the cost of slightly increased thickness and reduced thermal print margin near the stripe; RI-TH1-HF1P offers identical RF performance but requires separate card fabrication-making RI-TH1-CB2A-00 optimal for off-the-shelf, printable, punchable badge deployments.
