MLX90109
125kHz RFID Transceiver
10. Typical configuration: READ/WRITE ON/OFF keying (FDX-B100)
10.1. Application diagram
The basic principle is to switch the voltage on MODU between 0V and VDD. The antenna will reach its maximum amplitude in
less than 3 periods when MODU is stepped down from VDD to VSS. Setting the chip in power-down (set VMODU up to VDD) will
let the antenna fade-out with a time constant, depending on the antenna’s quality factor Qant. For fast protocols, an
additional drain resistor on MODU controlled by the microcontroller could be used to decrease the fall time (refer to the
application note MLX90109 “100% modulation (ON/OFF Keying)”.
