Bit error correction, improved read/write
sensitivity, robust memory retention and200,000 write cycles (2X that of competition)

Robust reliability of stored data, added
protection against data loss/corruption

Features:›› Global GS1 Class 1 Gen 2 (V1.2.0) and ISO/IEC
18000-6C compliance›› Worldwide operation in all RFID UHF bands(860-960 MHz)›› 512-Bits of NVRAM Memory

Product Overview:

Combining proven design from the Squiggle® tag family
in a more narrow package, the Higgs™-EC UHF RFID IC
based “Squiglette” antenna design offers compelling
performance for narrower high volume general purpose
applications.
