Product details
Overview
RI-TRP-R9TD-30 from Texas Instruments is a 134.2 kHz ISO 11784/11785-compliant LF RFID transponder in a 120 mm cylindrical PEI housing, offering 64-bit read-only memory, HDX half-duplex communication, and IP67-rated environmental protection for embedded identification systems.
For engineers reviewing the RI-TRP-R9TD-30 datasheet, RI-TRP-R9TD-30 pinout, RI-TRP-R9TD-30 application, or RI-TRP-R9TD-30 equivalent, this page delivers verified operating frequency, memory structure, reading range, EMC resilience, and mechanical robustness data required for access control, vehicle ID, and asset tracking system integration.
Technical Context
The RI-TRP-R9TD-30 operates via magnetic coupling at 134.2 kHz using HDX (Half-Duplex) protocol with FSK modulation (134.2 / 123.2 kHz), drawing power entirely from the reader's RF field-no internal battery. It implements TI's patented tuning process to stabilize resonance and ensure consistent read performance across temperature and material interfaces.
Its 64-bit read-only memory is factory-programmed and immune to normal electromagnetic interference and x-ray exposure. The transponder meets IEC 68-2-27 shock (200 g, half-sine, 3 ms) and IEC 68-2-6 vibration (20 g, 20–500 Hz) requirements, and achieves ≤200 cm typical read range under regulatory-compliant reader conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 134.2 kHz - fixed-resonance LF carrier enabling global ISO 11784/11785 compliance and reliable operation near metal or moisture. |
| Memory Capacity | 64-bit read-only - factory-programmed unique ID; no user write capability; eliminates field reprogramming risk in sealed deployments. |
| Reading Range | ≤200 cm - achievable with compliant readers and optimal antenna geometry; usable in long-range vehicle gate systems. |
| Reading Time | 70 ms - deterministic response latency supporting high-throughput identification in automated logistics lanes. |
| Environmental Rating | IP67 - fully dust-tight and submersible to 1 m for 30 min; suitable for outdoor, waste management, and industrial washdown environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –25 °C to +85 °C - supports deployment in unheated parking structures, refrigerated transport, and engine bays. |
| Case Material | Reinforced Poly-Ether-Imide (PEI), black - high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical rigidity for permanent embedding. |
Pinout & Package
This is a passive, coil-integrated RFID transponder with no electrical pins or terminals. Power and data transfer occur wirelessly via inductive coupling to an external reader antenna. The device is housed in a hermetically sealed, cylindrical PEI package measuring Ø21 mm ± 0.8 mm × 121 mm ± 2 mm and weighing 60 g.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar passive LF RFID transponder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-TRP-W9TD-30 | 80-bit read/write memory; –25 °C to +70 °C operating range; same HDX protocol and physical dimensions. | Supports field-updatable IDs and CRC-protected data pages; lower max operating temperature limits use in engine compartments. | Select when programmable memory and moderate-temp environments are required; not interchangeable due to memory architecture and temp rating. |
| EM4102 (from EM Microelectronic) | 64-bit read-only; 125 kHz; proprietary protocol; TO-92-style glass capsule; no IP rating. | Limited to indoor, dry, non-vibrating applications; lacks mechanical ruggedness and environmental sealing. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-reliability indoor access cards; unsuitable for vehicle, container, or outdoor use. |
Compared with RI-TRP-W9TD-30 and EM4102, the RI-TRP-R9TD-30 uniquely combines extended temperature tolerance (+85 °C), IP67 sealing, and TI's patented tuning for consistent long-range reads in harsh infrastructure deployments-making it the only option qualified for vehicular and municipal outdoor asset tracking.

FAQ
Is RI-TRP-R9TD-30 still in production?
No, the RI-TRP-R9TD-30 is marked as OBSOLETE by Texas Instruments per the 31-May-2018 packaging addendum. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers controlled distribution with full traceability and documentation for ongoing maintenance and replacement needs in installed systems.
What is the maximum reading distance for RI-TRP-R9TD-30?
The typical reading range of the RI-TRP-R9TD-30 is ≤200 cm, as specified in the TI datasheet. Actual performance depends on reader antenna design, regulatory limits (e.g., FCC/ETSI), and environmental factors such as nearby metal or moisture-values exceeding 150 cm require optimized reader configuration and clear coupling paths.
Does RI-TRP-R9TD-30 support read/write functionality?
No, the RI-TRP-R9TD-30 is a read-only transponder with 64-bit factory-programmed memory. It does not support field programming. For read/write capability, TI offered the RI-TRP-W9TD-30 variant, which provides 80-bit memory with CRC-protected user pages and 100,000 programming cycles.
Can RI-TRP-R9TD-30 be embedded in metal environments?
No-the RI-TRP-R9TD-30 is insensitive to non-metallic materials but cannot operate when directly attached to or enclosed within conductive metal surfaces, as this detunes the coil and blocks magnetic coupling. Mounting requires ≥5 mm air gap or dielectric standoff (e.g., plastic spacer) between the transponder and metal.
What certifications does RI-TRP-R9TD-30 comply with?
The RI-TRP-R9TD-30 complies with ISO/IEC 11784 and ISO/IEC 11785 for LF RFID air interface protocols and data structure. It also meets IEC 68-2-27 (shock) and IEC 68-2-6 (vibration) standards, and carries an IP67 ingress protection rating-verified per test reports in the TI production data sheet SCBS838.
