UK Domestic Pet ID "microchip" reading?

Hi Andy,

The Pet identification typically uses FDX(full duplex) communication at 134.2kHz.  TI only offers low frequency(134.2kHz) RFID solutions using HDX, so we would not have a solution for an FDX type tag.  Both FDX and HDX are allowed in ISO 11784/11785.  If the tag type you need to read is HDX, then MRD2, RFM-003C, RFM-007B, or TMS3705 would work.

Thanks for that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microchip_implant_(animal)#Cross-compatibility_and_standards_issues - I guess TI must be focussing on the "ranch/farm" animal applications?

As TI isn't in this market, is it then fair game to ask what other manufacturers are in this area...?

Looks like some potentially useful links to follow-up here:

Yes, our LF RFID products mostly focus on livestock, industrial, and automotive applications.  For companion animals, Allflex is probably the largest supplier.

That's the implants - I was looking for readers.

For readers, Allflex only seem to do end-user products - not chips or board-level modules?

Anyhow, thanks again - I'll keep searching...
