Patent ID: 6972664

Claim:
A transponder device for the identification of objects in front of pieces of equipment, with an integrated switching circuit ( 116 ), with a first driver ( 112 ) and with a carrier ( 200 ) accommodating a circuit, whereby the first driver ( 112 ) and the switching circuit ( 116 ) are deposited on a first surface of the carrier ( 200 ), a plurality of contact points ( 120 ) are deposited on a second surface of the carrier ( 200 ), the contact points ( 12 ) are connected electrically to the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) and the first driver ( 112 ), the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) and the first driver ( 112 ) are encapsulated with the carrier ( 200 ) in such a way that at least the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) can be contacted electrically from outside the encapsulation solely via the contact points ( 120 ), the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) is formed for the coding of a first signal for the first driver ( 112 ), a second driver ( 134 ) arranged outside the encapsulation is provided, the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) is formed for the coding of a second signal for the second driver ( 134 ), and the second driver ( 134 ) is connected electrically to the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) via the contact areas ( 120 ) for the transfer of the second signal between integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) and the second driver ( 134 ), the integrated switching circuit ( 116 ) and the first driver ( 112 ) can be contacted electrically from outside the encapsulation solely via the contact points.
