2 Introduction
The Indy® RS500 reader SiP (system-in-package) is a completely integrated reader
solution for EPC Gen 2 / ISO18000-63 (formerly 18000-6C) applications. The Indy
RS500 was developed to make embedding UHF RFID reader capability easy. The Indy
RS500 builds on market-leading Indy reader chip technology and integrates all of the
necessary components into a small package. The Indy RS500 requires no external
components, is fully tested and meets regulatory requirements. The Indy RS500 comes
in a surface mount package designed to work as a SMT (surface mount technology)
compatible component in a standard PCB manufacturing process, which eliminates
costly mechanical hardware, RF cables and human assembly that are typically required
with embedded readers on the market today. The Indy RS500 is a turnkey solution that
will enable quick and easy embedding of RFID with low development risk and fast timeto-market.
Ideal for moderate read range of small tag populations, the Indy RS500’s small form
factor enables a diverse range of applications that need a low-cost embedded UHF
Gen 2 RFID reader capability, such as consumables authentication, access control,
process control, appliances, POS devices for retail, medical equipment, printers, and
low-duty handheld readers. The RS500 is capable of reading dozens of tags per second
at distances greater than 3 meters when using a 6 dBi reader antenna and far field
passive tags.
This document includes interface, functional, performance, mechanical and
environmental specifications. Host communication specifications (e.g. firmware upgrade
and host interface protocol) and Impinj Radio Interface (IRI) documentation is provided
in the latest RS500 Software release package. The Indy RS500 uses the IRI™ (Impinj
Radio Interface) to communicate with host systems. The IRI Tool Kit enables
developers to build on a variety of embedded host platforms by providing the following:
documentation, image loader, IRI library, sample C code and project files. The IRI Tool
Kit can be found in the latest Indy RS500 Software release package and can be
downloaded from the restricted documents and downloads section at
support.impinj.com. Please create an account and subscribe to receive automatic
updates to the latest documentation and releases. Contact your local Impinj

Required connections:
VDC_IN and GND are required to power the RS500.
RF is required to connect to the UHF RFID antenna.
UART1 Tx and Rx are required to communicate with the system host.
Recommended connections:
nRST is used to reset the RS500 if UART communication is not available. This
connection is highly recommended. This pin internally driven strong low during
software resets, so it should only be driven externally by an open drain signal. It
must not be driven strong high.
UART2 Tx and Rx may be used to examine debug information.
HEALTH indicates successful operation of the RS500. Connection to an LED
provides a visual indication of whether or not an error condition exists.
STATUS provides an indication when the RS500 is in active mode (for example,
inventorying tags). Connection to an LED provides a visual indicator of the device’s
activity.
Optional connections:
6 Revision 1.1, Copyright © 2014, Impinj, Inc.
GPIOs allow interaction with the RS500 as both digital inputs and outputs. They may
be used to trigger inventory, generate events based on inventory activity, or provide
general-purpose user-controlled digital I/O.
WKUP provides a mechanism to wake up the RS500 from the low power Sleep
mode. WKUP is also used to force entry into the Impinj firmware bootstrap. If
unused, this pin should be tied to logic low.
UC_ADC allows use of an ADC to convert an analog input voltage into a digital
value.
UC_DAC allows use of a DAC to generate an analog output voltage from a digital
value.
BOOT0 provides access to the built-in bootloader in case the Impinj firmware is
corrupted. For more details on the built-in bootloader, please contact Impinj support.

5 Impinj Radio Interface (IRI)
The Indy RS500 uses IRI to enable communications; this is enabled with the IRI Tool Kit.
The IRI Tool Kit includes documentation, IRI API, and sample C code. The IRI Tool Kit
is intended to enable a broad set of host platforms due to its ease of use and portability.
Communication with the RS500 via IRI occurs in two states:
1.
Configuration (synchronous)
a.
All communications are commands and responses
b.
Start and Stop commands cause transition to the Listen state
2.
Listen (asynchronous)
a.
Host is in a listening mode and polls to obtain tag reports
Customer applications can be enabled on a variety of embedded systems with hosts
ranging in size from small microcontrollers to large microprocessors. The IRI Tool Kit is
structured to ease portability by separating platform specific code from functional reader
operation; this is illustrated in Figure 6-1 below.

Please refer to the documentation included in the RS500 release package for complete
details on communicating with the Indy RS500 using IRI. The latest Indy RS500 release
package, which includes the IRI Tool Kit, can be downloaded at support.impinj.com.
6 Regulatory Information
The Indy RS500 (IPJ-RS500) has been certified for modular operation by FCC and
Industry Canada in certain specific configurations. Use of these IDs requires specific
text be added to product labeling and product Hardware User’s Guides. See the Indy

It is important to note that the optimal pad and stencil design results in a stencil aperture
that is of a different shape than and that overhangs the etched pad. This design delivers
the optimum amount of solder to the castellation of the SiP pad. Figure 8-7 depicts the
pad/solder relationship.

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This module can be used with T800 or similar platform with similar dimension,
antenna location and RF characteristic.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed at the same location as tested in the certification filing, and
the maximum antenna gain allowed for use with this device is 4.41 dBi.
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
