RFID Connect: Impinj Monza 4 Tag Chips, Impinj

Impinj Monza 4 Tag Chips

In addition to expanded memory options, the industry's best read/write reliability, and the most consistent tag to tag performance, the Monza family of RFID tag chips feature:

True3D antenna technology—two fully independent antenna ports enable the creation of tags without blind spots

QT technology, featuring public and private data profiles that support confidentiality of business-sensitive data and assure consumers of privacy

Memory options to support large user memory (512 bits with block permalock) or EPC-memory (up to 496 bits) applications

Industry's best read and write sensitivity combined with excellent interference rejection to yield outstanding read and write reliability

Gen 2 compliant custom features that facilitate inventory of hard-to-read tags and support rapid access of serial numbers

Impinj has also introduced the Monza 4 Dura Packaged chips. The Dura's packaged format supports standard PCB surface mount assembly techniques, which eases integration into products designed with PCBs, as well as other electronic applications where soldered connections are preferred. Impinj encased the Monza RFID tag chips in a μDFN package, making it the industry’s smallest and lowest profile tag chip part. Monza 4 Dura Packs. Learn more.
