Product details
Overview
RI-UHF-IC116-00 from Texas Instruments is an SMT-packaged UHF RFID IC compliant with EPCglobal Gen2 v1.0.9 and ISO/IEC 18000-6C standards, operating across 840–960 MHz, featuring 192-bit memory (96-bit EPC, dual 32-bit passwords, 32-bit TID), and optimized for PCB tracking in high-density manufacturing environments.
For engineers reviewing the RI-UHF-IC116-00 datasheet, RI-UHF-IC116-00 pinout, RI-UHF-IC116-00 application, or RI-UHF-IC116-00 equivalent, key selection considerations include Gen2 command support (Block Write/Erase), antenna impedance matching (7.2+j53 Ω to 9.8+j73 Ω across regions), sensitivity (–13 dBm read), data retention (10 years), and MSL-1 reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
This passive UHF RFID IC implements a Gen2-compliant air interface using backscatter modulation, with integrated logic for fast tag singulation via advanced anticollision protocols. It operates without an internal power source, deriving energy from the reader's RF field.
The device uses a 130 nm silicon process for low-power operation and high performance, supports optional Gen2 Block Write and Block Erase commands, and stores configuration and identification data in nonvolatile memory with 100,000 write/erase cycles endurance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar UHF RFID IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impinj Monza R6 | Higher sensitivity (–15 dBm), 128-bit EPC, supports Gen2 v2.0.0 extensions including Fast ID | Better suited for long-range or low-power reader systems; lacks TID memory segmentation of RI-UHF-IC116-00 | Select when extended read range or future Gen2 feature readiness is required; verify antenna tuning for 50 Ω match |
| NXP UCODE 7xm | 128-bit EPC, 64-bit TID, integrated sensor interface option, higher write endurance (200k cycles) | Designed for sensor-augmented tagging; larger die size increases minimum antenna footprint | Choose for hybrid sensing+ID applications; avoid if board space is constrained below 2.0 mm² |
Compared with Impinj Monza R6 and NXP UCODE 7xm, RI-UHF-IC116-00 offers balanced sensitivity, region-flexible impedance targets, and compact 1.6 mm² footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained PCB tracking where Gen2 v1.0.9 compliance and proven manufacturability are prioritized over extended features.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for RI-UHF-IC116-00 during read and write operations?
The RI-UHF-IC116-00 supports reading across –40°C to +85°C and writing across –25°C to +65°C, making it suitable for both ambient factory-floor deployment and thermally demanding reflow-associated tracking scenarios. Its 130 nm silicon process ensures stable RF performance across this full industrial range without external regulation.
Does RI-UHF-IC116-00 require an external power source or battery?
No, RI-UHF-IC116-00 is a fully passive UHF RFID IC that derives all operating power from the incident RF field generated by a compatible reader. It contains no onboard battery or energy-harvesting circuitry, relying solely on backscatter modulation for communication and internal charge pumps for memory operations.
How is antenna impedance matched for RI-UHF-IC116-00 in different regional frequency bands?
RI-UHF-IC116-00 specifies distinct target series impedances per region: 7.2 + j53 Ω for Japan (953 MHz), 8.2 + j61 Ω for the US (915 MHz), and 9.8 + j73 Ω for Europe (866.5 MHz). These values guide PCB antenna design to maximize power transfer and read range within each regulatory band.
Can RI-UHF-IC116-00 be used in environments with metal or high-moisture content?
RI-UHF-IC116-00 can operate near metal when mounted on dielectric spacers or integrated into specially tuned near-field loop antennas, but direct metal contact degrades performance. Its RoHS/Green packaging resists moisture ingress, and MSL-1 rating confirms suitability for standard humid environments - however, prolonged submersion or condensation requires conformal coating of the assembled PCB.
What memory security features does RI-UHF-IC116-00 provide beyond standard EPCglobal Gen2 compliance?
RI-UHF-IC116-00 implements dual 32-bit password protection: one for access control (enabling lock/unlock of reserved memory banks) and another for irreversible KILL command execution. Both passwords are stored in nonvolatile memory and enforced at the protocol layer - preventing unauthorized reads, writes, or permanent deactivation without proper authentication.
