  • High Sensitivity

FEATURE	DESCRIPTION	BENEFIT
Sentinel™ Memory	Detects and fixes single bit errors and flags dual bit errors.	Protects data and provides unprecedented immunity to typical sources of single bit errors (chip damage, low power etc.)
Read sensitivity	Up to -21.5 dBm	Allows smaller tags to be designed or larger read & write distances to be realized. Helps eliminate “cross-reads”
Write sensitivity	Up to -19 dBm
Best in class memory reliability	200,000 write cycles	Robust memory retention (twice that of competition
96 bit expandable EPC	Supports EPC size up to 128b for flexibility.	Supports popular EPC structures utilizing 96 and 128b lengths
0-32 bit user memory	32b of flexible user memory available for encryption keys, passwords or other asset information	Greater use case flexibility. Provides 32b of user memory with a 96b EPC or may be used for additional EPC length
48b UTID with lower 38b unique serial for SGTIN generation	48b UTID. Lower 38b are duplicated in the EPC for SGTIN generation.	For general serialization, in both Retail and Non-Retail applications
Larger "pads" for improved antenna connectivity	More contact area for antenna connectivity	Far better yield, inlay to inlay, thus providing greater tag reliability

• Alien Higgs 10 Product Overview:
  With leading edge Read and Write sensitivity and enhanced Backscatter performance, Higgs-10, the newest member of the Higgs family of RFID IC’s from Alien Technology,® is poised to drive the most challenging of applications in the wide web of the Internet-of-Things.
  Ideal for high volume applications, Higgs-10 offers flexible EPC memory structure supporting nominal 96-bit EPC formats, plus a 32-bit expansion for longer EPC formats.
  Higgs-10 also features up to 32-bits for optional User Memory data. This enables the flexibility to store additional data beyond the EPC level such as encryption keys, additional asset information, and serial numbers.
  Like all Alien ICs, Higgs-10 is fully backward compatible with the entire Alien IC and Reader feature-set.
