RFID Door Opener

Published in issue 379, July/August 2008

RFID Door Opener
The RFID-based project described here employs a specially-programmed IC from the ‘SFChip’ (the ‘SF’ stands for ‘Special Function’) product family. The SF6107 is an IC designed to work as an RFID receiver for tags that operate on a nominal frequency of 125 kHz. Tags (or, more properly, ‘transponder cards’) compatible with the EM4102 contain forty bits of data and are available for a pound or two each.
