Texas Instruments TRPGR30ENATGB

Overview

TRPGR30ENATGB from Texas Instruments is a 32-mm, 134.2 kHz low-frequency glass transponder with HDX (half-duplex) operation, 80-bit read-only memory (64-bit UID + 16-bit BCC), hermetically sealed glass encapsulation, and EN 14803 numbering - designed for implantable or embedded animal identification and industrial asset tagging in harsh environments.

For engineers reviewing the TRPGR30ENATGB datasheet, TRPGR30ENATGB pinout, TRPGR30ENATGB application, or TRPGR30ENATGB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context including resonance frequency (134.6 kHz), FSK modulation (134.2/124.2 kHz), reading range (≤110 cm), mechanical shock rating (IEC 60068-2-32, 1.5-m drop ×20), and glass package dimensions (Ø3.85 ±0.05 mm × 31.2 ±0.6 mm).

Technical Context

This passive RFID transponder operates via magnetic coupling at 134.2 kHz using half-duplex (HDX) communication, where the reader supplies power and initiates interrogation, and the transponder replies after a defined delay. It implements TI's patented tuning process to stabilize resonance and maximize read reliability across temperature and material barriers.

The device uses capacitor-on-die technology inside a hermetically sealed borosilicate glass capsule (RFIDT–TGB package), enabling immunity to moisture, chemicals, and x-rays. Its 80-bit memory is factory-programmed with a globally unique ID and BCC, compliant with ISO 11784/11785 and EN 14803 numbering standards.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

TRPGR30ENATGB is a passive, two-terminal resonant LC device with no electrical pins or solderable terminals. It consists of a tuned coil-capacitor circuit hermetically sealed inside a cylindrical glass capsule (package type: RFIDT–TGB). No external connections are required - operation relies solely on inductive coupling with an external reader antenna.

FAQ

What is the operating frequency and modulation scheme of TRPGR30ENATGB?

TRPGR30ENATGB operates at a resonance frequency of 134.6 kHz and uses frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation between 134.2 kHz and 124.2 kHz. This HDX (half-duplex) scheme enables reliable communication with ISO 11785–compliant readers while maintaining immunity to common electromagnetic noise sources encountered in industrial and outdoor settings. The TRPGR30ENATGB design ensures consistent performance without external tuning components.

Is TRPGR30ENATGB suitable for animal implantation, and what certifications does it meet?

Yes, TRPGR30ENATGB is explicitly designed for subcutaneous animal implantation and meets EN 14803 numbering requirements for EU-compliant livestock and pet identification. It is hermetically sealed in borosilicate glass, passes IEC 60068-2-32 shock testing (20× 1.5-m drops), and maintains data integrity under x-ray and natural electromagnetic interference - all validated per TI's production test flow. TRPGR30ENATGB carries no battery or active circuitry, eliminating biocompatibility risks associated with electronics.

What is the maximum reading distance for TRPGR30ENATGB, and what factors affect it?

The typical reading range for TRPGR30ENATGB is ≤110 cm, but actual performance depends on reader antenna size and power output, local RF regulations (e.g., ETSI EN 300 330 limits), and environmental conditions such as nearby metal or water content. TRPGR30ENATGB achieves this range using TI's patented tuning process and capacitor-on-die architecture - no external capacitors or adjustments are needed. TRPGR30ENATGB remains readable through nonmetallic materials like soil, plastic, and tissue without signal degradation.

Does TRPGR30ENATGB support write operations or field reprogramming?

No, TRPGR30ENATGB is a strictly read-only transponder with 80 bits of factory-programmed memory (64-bit unique ID + 16-bit block check character). It contains no EEPROM, flash, or writable logic - ensuring permanent, tamper-resistant identification. This architecture eliminates failure modes associated with write cycles or voltage surges, making TRPGR30ENATGB ideal for lifetime-critical applications such as animal ID and asset traceability where data immutability is mandated.

What packaging and handling precautions apply to TRPGR30ENATGB?

TRPGR30ENATGB is supplied in large tape-and-reel format (2000 units per reel, carrier type LARGE T&R) with part marking "TRPGR30ENATGB.B". As a glass device, it requires static-free handling and avoidance of mechanical impact prior to embedding or implantation. No moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating applies since it contains no die attach or wire bonds - the hermetic glass capsule is inherently insensitive to humidity. TRPGR30ENATGB must not be subjected to thermal cycling beyond –40°C to +85°C storage limits.
