ThingMagic Gemini
Low Cost, Ultra Low Power HF RFID Reader
ThingMagic Gemini marks the next generation of HF reader modules.
The Gemini is a low-cost, ultra-low power, MIFARE and NFC
reader/writer module. With cutting edge ARM Cortex microcontroller
and the latest HF transceiver technology, coupled with the reader's
intelligent operating system, this is the most versatile HF RFID module
at this price point. Manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO
13485 standards, quality is a top priority for all ThingMagic modules.

Features & Benefits:
•
•
•
•
•
Fast integration and time-to-
market
Unparalleled investment
protection
Cost-effective and highly
scalable
Miniscule footprint
Common Blade technology
for maximum design and
solution flexibility
Greatest tag compatibility,
with TagIQ
Minimal power consumption
and maximum read range
Software Adjustable Host
Interfaces: UART (TTL), SPI,
USB, I2C
4 General Purpose I/O Pins
Simple and intuitive API
Supported security features, like mutually authenticated triple DES
encryption, offer a low-cost and robust method of authentication for
consumables, making the Gemini ideal for medical, ticketing, security
or safety applications. At about the size of a matchbook, this module
can fit into almost any new or existing OEM design. The Gemini is also
well suited for battery powered and other power sensitive applications,
due to its low power features, including software stand-by mode and
deep sleep mode. In addition, the wide input voltage range and highly
efficient switching power design make this module perfect for battery-
powered applications right off the shelf.
Gemini module is one of the first to support not only the extremely
popular NFC tags, but also NFC peer-to-peer and tag emulation
modes as defined by ISO18092. This unique ability allows for active
data passing between NFC-enabled smart phones, tablets and other
devices.
The Gemini is the same size and form factor as the M1. The optional
connector is updated to match the Common Blade Interface and can
connect to the same interface board as any of the Common Blade
devices. In addition, a micro USB port is available for direct connection
to a USB host, as well as an antenna output for an external antenna.
