The HITAG product line is well known and established in the contactless identification market.
Due to the open marketing strategy of NXP Semiconductors there are various manufacturers well established for both the transponders / cards as well as the Read/Write Devices. All of them supporting HITAG 1 and HITAG 2 transponder IC's. With the new HITAG S family, this existing infrastructure is extended with the next generation of IC’s being substantially smaller in mechanical size, lower in cost, offering more operation distance and speed, but still being operated with the same reader infrastructure and transponder manufacturing equipment.
One Protocol - two memory options.
The protocol and command structure for HITAG S is based on HITAG 1, including anticollision algorithm.
Two different memory sizes are offered and can be operated using exactly the same protocol.
