Application Note
SPSPRDR1-8 Remote Update Guide
ON Semiconductor Battery Free Wireless Sensor tags powered by a Magnus−S integrated circuit (IC) family of sensing RFID chips are fully compliant with the EPC Generation−2 UHF RFID but can most effectively utilize existing reader hardware after the firmware and API have been optimized for sensing. This note guides through the process of updating the reader with the latest firmware adding additional support and functionalities.

Battery Free Wireless Sensor Measurements
ON Semiconductor’s Battery Free Wireless Sensor tags powered by a Magnus−S integrated circuit (IC) produce a Sensor Code which gives information about the sensor tag’s environment. To maximize the precision of sensor measurements, the user should understand and account for effects related to the reader transmission frequency and the amount of power received by the sensor tag. This note describes those effects and discusses strategies for addressing them.

Moisture Intrusion Detection System: “Solving Water Leak Inspection Challenges on Vehicle Assembly Lines”
“Water Leaks” have plagued the auto industry for years. About 3% of new vehicles leave the factory with leaks large enough to cause mold growth and damage to expensive electronic components. Catching leaks at the factory requires a new approach to leak detection. Since getting to the leak areas is challenging, what’s needed are water sensors located in these locations, under the carpet and in the thin spaces between plastic panels and door moldings.
