The UCODE® 9xm, developed by NXP Semiconductors, is a cutting-edge RAIN RFID tag chip designed to address the high-performance demands of industrial and manufacturing environments. With enhanced memory flexibility, superior sensitivity, and robust security features, it delivers reliable solutions for complex operational challenges.  

1. Flexible High-Capacity Memory

l 880-bit configurable storage: Supports three allocation modes, offering up to 496 bits for EPC (Electronic Product Code) and 752 bits for user-defined data (e.g., batch numbers, timestamps, logistics metadata).  

l Extended traceability: Facilitates circular economy practices by enabling efficient product reuse, resale, and recycling. Optimizes supply chain transparency to align production with real-time demand, minimizing waste and enabling precision logistics.  

2. Performance Breakthrough

l 3x sensitivity improvement: Achieves industry-leading read sensitivity of -24 dBm and write sensitivity of -22 dBm, extending operational range and reliability in RF-dense or harsh environments.  

l Miniaturized tag compatibility: Supports smaller antenna designs for tagging compact objects, enhancing visibility across fragmented supply chains.  

3. Secure Data Management

l Multi-layered protection: Combines ECC (Error Correction Code), parity checks, and BlockPermalock to safeguard critical data from unauthorized modifications while allowing dynamic updates to unlocked memory sections.  

4. Key Applications

l Industrial Automation: Real-time tracking of tools, components, and production workflows to boost accuracy and operational efficiency.  

l Smart Inventory Management: Enables end-to-end supply chain visibility, reducing stock discrepancies and optimizing warehouse operations.  

l Aviation & Logistics: Delivers high-precision baggage tracking solutions to minimize loss and improve service reliability in air transport.  

Summary

The UCODE® 9xm redefines RAIN RFID technology with its triple sensitivity boost, adaptable memory architecture, and enterprise-grade security. Its ability to store diverse data (e.g., EPC, timestamps) supports rigorous traceability in Industrial IoT applications, while features like BlockPermalock and ECC ensure data integrity in mission-critical scenarios. Ideal for smart manufacturing, supply chain optimization, and aviation logistics, this chip drives efficiency, sustainability, and reliability in global industrial ecosystems.
