DVK90129: 13.56MHz RFID Transponder

Summary

The MLX90129 from Melexis is a sensor IC with an integrated 13.56 MHz high frequency (HF) interface that allows sensor data to be read with a HF radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. The DVK90129 is a development kit designed to assist developers explore the features of the MLX90129.

This user manual provides guidelines for use of the DVK90129 development kit. It also provides guidelines for the EVB90129 datalogger / sensor tag based on the Melexis 90129 sensor IC and the Proxima RF USB HF RFID Desktop reader.

The DVK90129 development kit along with user friendly evaluation software will decrease sensor IC evaluation time to improve your development cycle and time to market. The dedicated Application Programming Interface (API) provides a quick start for developing custom applications.

The EVB90129 is an assembled printed circuit board that simplifies evaluation of the MLX90129 sensor tag IC and to facilitate the development of wireless sensor applications based on the MLX90129.

The EVB90129 was developed to demonstrate a wide range of applications, from fully passive sensor tag operation to complex data logging. Each of its elements can be reconfigured by means of jumpers.

The board can be powered either by an external voltage supply, the on-board battery or the electromagnetic field from a RFID reader.

In addition to the internal temperature sensor of the MLX90129, the EVB90129 embeds 3 external sensors, light, temperature and potentiometer to demonstrate the flexibility for measurement of a variety of physical quantities. The custom prototyping area allows users to integrate their own sensor or circuit into this evaluation board.
