Product details
Overview
TRPGP40ATGC from Texas Instruments is a 12-mm low-frequency glass-encapsulated transponder operating at 134.2 kHz resonance, compliant with ISO/IEC 11784 and 11785 standards, featuring 80-bit customer-configurable memory, HDX half-duplex transmission, and hermetically sealed glass packaging for animal identification implants.
For engineers reviewing the TRPGP40ATGC datasheet, TRPGP40ATGC pinout, TRPGP40ATGC application, or TRPGP40ATGC equivalent, this device requires attention to its battery-less RF power coupling, FSK modulation scheme (134.2/124.2 kHz), ≤60 cm reading range, 70 ms typical read time, and glass-body mechanical robustness under IEC 60068-2-32 drop testing.
Technical Context
The TRPGP40ATGC implements HDX (half-duplex) communication using frequency shift keying between 134.2 kHz and 124.2 kHz, enabling reliable bidirectional data exchange without an internal power source. Its patented tuning process ensures stable resonance at 134.6 kHz and consistent read performance across environmental variations.
Designed for passive operation, the transponder draws energy solely from the reader's magnetic field and stores 80 bits of user-programmable data in a single memory page. Its glass encapsulation provides hermetic sealing and immunity to natural electromagnetic interference and x-ray exposure.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar passive LF transponder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| EM4102 | Fixed 64-bit ROM ID, no customer configuration; operates at 125 kHz, not ISO 11784/11785 compliant | Limited to proprietary access control or basic asset tagging; unsuitable for regulated animal ID | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-regulated indoor applications where ISO compliance is unnecessary |
| TK4100 | 125 kHz, 64-bit read-only; lacks HDX modulation, hermetic glass seal, and EMI immunity | Used in industrial tool tracking or library book tagging; cannot withstand implantation or field exposure | Choose only for short-range, non-biological, non-regulated environments with minimal environmental stress |
Compared with EM4102 and TK4100, the TRPGP40ATGC delivers certified ISO/IEC 11784/11785 compliance, 80-bit programmability, HDX-based noise resilience, and validated biological survivability - making it the sole option for global animal identification mandates.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency and regulatory compliance of the TRPGP40ATGC?
The TRPGP40ATGC operates at a nominal resonance frequency of 134.6 kHz with a specified 134.2 kHz reader carrier, and is fully compliant with ISO/IEC 11784 and ISO/IEC 11785 open standards for low-frequency RFID in animal identification. This ensures interoperability with globally deployed readers and satisfies regulatory requirements in the EU, US, Australia, and other jurisdictions mandating ISO-compliant tags for livestock and companion animals. The TRPGP40ATGC meets these standards out-of-the-box with no firmware or configuration required.
Does the TRPGP40ATGC require a battery or external power source?
No, the TRPGP40ATGC is a fully passive transponder powered exclusively by the magnetic field generated by an external LF reader. It contains no battery, enabling indefinite operational life and eliminating maintenance, leakage, or disposal concerns. Energy harvesting occurs via inductive coupling between the reader's antenna coil and the TRPGP40ATGC's internal resonant circuit, which powers the HDX demodulation and response logic. This battery-less architecture is essential for implantable and long-life applications.
What is the memory structure and programming capability of the TRPGP40ATGC?
The TRPGP40ATGC provides 80 bits of customer-configurable memory organized in a single page, allowing users to store custom identifiers, birth dates, vaccination records, or other application-specific data. Programming is performed once during manufacturing or field deployment using a compatible ISO 11785-compliant programmer. The memory is non-volatile and retains data indefinitely without power. The TRPGP40ATGC does not support reprogramming in the field after initial write, ensuring data integrity in regulated environments.
How is the TRPGP40ATGC mechanically protected for implantation or harsh environments?
The TRPGP40ATGC uses a hermetically sealed borosilicate glass capsule (TGC package) measuring Ø2.12 mm × 12.0 mm, rated to survive IEC 60068-2-32 free-fall drops from 1.5 m and resistant to moisture, chemicals, and biological fluids. Its glass body prevents corrosion, delamination, or encapsulation failure under subcutaneous conditions. Unlike epoxy or polymer alternatives, the glass construction maintains dimensional stability and RF performance across thermal cycling from –25°C to +70°C, making the TRPGP40ATGC suitable for permanent implantation.
Can the TRPGP40ATGC be read through barriers such as tissue, plastic, or concrete?
Yes, the TRPGP40ATGC is specifically engineered to maintain reliable readability through nearly all nonmetallic materials, including animal tissue, plastic housing, wooden crates, and concrete walls - a feature validated in TI's application testing and cited in the official datasheet. This penetration capability stems from its optimized HDX modulation, high-Q resonant circuit, and glass encapsulation that preserves coil integrity. However, metallic objects within ~5 cm will detune the antenna and block communication, so placement must avoid proximity to metal implants or structures.
