EM4095
Read/Write analog front end for 125 kHz RFID Basestation
Description
The EM4095 (previously named P4095) chip is a CMOS
integrated transceiver circuit intended for use in an RFID
basestation to perform the following functions:
antenna driving with carrier frequency
AM modulation of the field for writable transponder
AM demodulation of the antenna signal modulation
induced by the transponder
communicate with a microprocessor via simple interface.
Features
Integrated PLL system to achieve self adaptive carrier
frequency to antenna resonant frequency
No external quartz required
100 to 150 kHz carrier frequency range
Direct antenna driving using bridge drivers
Data transmission by OOK (100% Amplitude
Modulation) using bridge driver

Handling Procedures
This device has built-in protection against high static
voltages or electric fields; however, anti-static precautions
must be taken as for any other CMOS component. Unless
otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when
all terminal voltages are kept within the voltage range.
Unused inputs must always be tied to a defined logic
voltage level.

tolerance capacitors should be used
** According to 1S2P JEDEC test board
Due to antenna driver current the internal junction temperature is
higher than ambient temperature. Please calculate ambient
temperature range from max. antenna current and package

Note 1:
RF period is time of one period transmitted on ANT outputs (at 125 kHz 8µs). Trec after antenna modulation receiver
chain is ready to demodulate. The condition is of course that the amplitude on antenna has already reached its steady state by
that time (this depends on Q of antenna). See also Application Notes.
