GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PCF7936AS is a high performance automotive proof Security Transponder for vehicle Immobilization applications, where the transponder has to identify itself towards the basestation as an authorized device.
The Security Transponder derives its power supply from the magnetic field (LF field) established by the basestation. No additional battery supply is needed. Data is transmitted by modulating the LF field.
The Security Transponder features secure contactless authentication, employing a Secret Key and a random number in order to cipher any communication between the device and the basestation. The secure contactless authentication is ideally suited for vehicle immobilization applications. In addition, the device features a factory programmed quasi unique serial number that also serves as product type identification.
If desired, the device may be operated as a Read/write transponder with access control by password or as a Read Only transponder.
