Poly-Flex
Circuits is Approved by Microchip Technology As Inlet Manufacturer
Cranston,
RI - Poly-Flex Circuits, Incorporated has been approved as an
inlet manufacturer for 13.56 MHz RFID applications utilizing
the Microchip Technology Inc. microID tagging devices.
Poly-Flex Circuits is one of a select group of microID packaging
assemblers certified to manufacture inlets for Microchip customers.
The
Microchip MCRF355 and MCRF360 are 13.56MHz RFID tagging devices
equipped with advanced anticollision circuitry, which allows
for multiple inlets to be read in the same reader field. Their
"cloaking" feature also minimizes the detuning of adjacent
inlets. Other features include extremely low power consumption
and advanced modulation methods for extended read range, and
154 bits of user memory. Both devices are contact-programmable
and will be primarily used in write-once, read-many (WORM) applications.
The MCRF355 allows the user to tune an external resonance capacitor,
while the MCRF360 contains an on-chip 100 pF capacitor.
Poly-Flex
Circuits is offering microID inlets on a polyester substrate.
The inlet antenna can be etched copper or additive polymer thick
film. The semiconductor device is bonded to the antenna circuitry
via a flip-chip interconnection. Inlet delivery formats include
individually singulated parts, sheets or rolls. Flip-chip assembly
is an extension of Poly-Flex's proven, high volume, surface mount
assembly capability specially adapted to handling a low cost
polyester substrate. Poly-Flex's RF design engineers are available
to work with individual customers to assist in the selection
of an RFID inlet design and construction, which maximizes read
distances at the lowest possible cost.
Poly-Flex
Circuits, Inc. is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer of flexible
circuit assemblies and custom graphics for the telecommunications,
computer peripheral, RFID, appliance, medical, and automotive
markets. For over seven years, Poly-Flex Circuits has specialized
in the high volume assembly of electronic components using Poly-Solder,
a proprietary silver filled conductive interconnect adhesive.
