Embedded Module HF RFID M890

Compact NFC and HF RFID Reader for Seamless Integration

The HF RFID Embedded Module M890 from iDTRONIC is a high-performance reader designed for integration into compact devices and industrial systems. With its ultra-small footprint and single-sided component layout, the module enables flexible embedding into a wide range of applications, from handheld devices to automated terminals.

Designed for Integration

One of the key advantages of the M890 is its compact design, measuring as small as 22 × 42 mm. This allows easy integration into space-constrained environments such as vending machines, ticketing systems, or access control units. The module supports SMD assembly, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production and OEM applications.

Broad RFID and NFC Compatibility

Operating at 13.56 MHz, the M890 supports a wide range of RFID and NFC standards, including:

• ISO 14443 A/B and ISO 14443-4

• ISO 15693

• ISO 18000-3

• NFC (ISO 18092 / ECMA-340)

This ensures compatibility with common transponders such as MIFARE, NTAG, and other widely used HF RFID tags.

High Performance in a Small Form Factor

Equipped with a modern ARM-based microcontroller and advanced HF transceiver technology, the module delivers reliable read and write performance with reading distances of up to approximately 8–10 cm, depending on the antenna and environment.

Despite its performance, the M890 is optimized for energy efficiency, consuming less than 1 mA in low-power mode. This makes it ideal for battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications.

Flexible Interfaces and Development Support

The M890 offers multiple interface options, including TTL, USB (VCP/HID), RS232/485, and PC/SC, allowing easy integration into various system architectures. Developers benefit from a comprehensive SDK that includes documentation, command protocols, source code, and a demo application for Windows.

The module supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Android, and macOS, ensuring flexibility for different development environments.

Built for Industrial Applications

Designed for durability, the M890 operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +80°C and supports humidity levels up to 95% (non-condensing). Its robust design and long MTBF make it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Versatile Use Cases

The Embedded Module M890 is ideal for:

• Handheld devices and terminals

• Ticketing and payment systems

• Access control solutions

• E-charging infrastructure

• Vending machines and kiosks

Enabling Smart, Connected Devices

With its combination of compact size, high performance, and broad compatibility, the M890 enables manufacturers to integrate RFID and NFC capabilities into modern connected devices. It provides a reliable foundation for secure identification, contactless interaction, and IoT-driven applications.
