ThingMagic M1-Mini
Smallest Embedded HF RFID Reader
ThingMagic M1-Mini is the world’s smallest, self-contained, multi-
protocol embedded HF RFID reader. Designed to enable any
device with RFID reader technology, this low power, high
performance 13.56 MHz Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) module is capable of reading to transponders based on
ISO 15693 and ISO 14443A
2
air interface protocols. It also writes
to ISO 15693 tags.
Diameter: 25.4mm Height: 3 mm nom
Features & Benefits:
• Smallest HF Reader on Market
• Easy to Embed in Devices for
Fast Integration
• Certifications:
➢
FCC Modular – USA
➢
IC – Canada
➢
R&TTE – EU-RED
• Reads Wide Variety of Tags
• Configurable Power Scheme
• Simple and Intuitive API
• Low Power Consumption
ThingMagic M1-Mini features an on-board antenna and the
ability to attach a standard 50-ohm external antenna for
improved read-range. With three available interface options,
ThingMagic M1-Mini provides communication to embedded host
systems. Its on-board power regulator circuit allows operation
from 3.2-6V. The power management intelligence allows current
to be set as low as 50
μA
(Sleep Mode), making it ideal for use in
battery operated devices. Further power efficiency is gained by
use of the Start-Up command. Software adjustable baud rates
from 4,800 to 57,600 bits per second offer choices to
accommodate host processor requirements.
With the variety of host interfaces, supply voltages, and
configurable parameters, the ThingMagic M1-Mini is easy to
embed.
