FEATURE	DESCRIPTION	BENEFIT
Industry Leading Sensitivity	Industry leading tags performance in challenging RF environments.	Saves money: Reduces the number of read points and/or minimizes tag size.
800-Bits of NVRAM	Larger memory RFID IC including 96-480 bits of EPC or up to 512-bits of user memory.	Provides fl exibility for local storage or for large bit-count EPC needs.
Dynamic Authentication™	Enhanced IC security using a non-digital, unique and non-cloneable “fi nger-print”	Practically eliminates copied tags being applied to counterfeit or goods of higher value

• Product Overview:
  Alien Higgs-3 operates at extremely low power levels, yet still provides suffi cient backscatter signal to read tags at an extended range. It can also be programmed at low RF power and, in conjunction with a custom command - LoadImage - can be programmed at high speed. Higgs-3 is implemented in a low cost CMOS process and uses proven and cost effective EEPROM technology.
  Higgs-3 offers a fl exible memory architecture that provides for the optimum allocation of EPC and User memory for different use cases such as legacy part numbering systems and service history. User memory can also be read and or write locked on 64-bit boundaries, supporting a variety of public/private usage models.
  The IC also features a factory programmed 64-bit serial number that cannot be altered. In conjunction with the EPC code, this provides a unique “fi ngerprint” for the tagged item.
