FCC WARNING STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and was found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference with radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of this device is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CANADIAN DOC STATEMENT
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le Réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numériqué de la classe B est conformé à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
CE STANDARDS
Testing for compliance with CE requirements was performed by an independent laboratory. The unit under test
was found compliant with standards established for Class B devices.
UL/CSA
This product is recognized per Underwriter Laboratories and Canadian Underwriter Laboratories 1950.
RoHS STATEMENT
When ordered as RoHS compliant, this product meets the Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) Reduction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) European Directive 2002/95/EC. The marking is clearly recognizable, either as
written words like “Pb-free”, “lead-free”, or as another clear symbol ( ).

Figure 1. Low Power Shift-Out IntelliHead
INTRODUCTION
MagTek’s Low Power Sh ift-Out IntelliHead consists of a high-performance multi-channel fully
integrated magnetic stripe decoder chip encapsulated within a low-profile magnetic read-head. The
Low Power Shift-Out IntelliHead is designed for battery operated devices that need to “wake from
swipe”. It features a typical quiescent current when armed to accept a swipe of only 1.5 μA. If this
low quiescent current is not needed, then cost savings can be realized by using the regular Shift-Out
IntelliHead. See MagTek specification 99875258 for details.
Note that the Low Power Shift-Out IntelliHead is limited to reading cards that have at least track 2
encoded. This is because it keys off of track 2 only for its “wake-up” signal. If track 2 is encoded,
the other encoded tracks (track 1 and/or track 3) will also be read.
FEATURES
• Ultra-low Sleep or Armed-to-Read current – only 1.5 μA typical current when no card is
being swiped. Ideal for battery-powered readers.
• Ultra-compact design – low-profile read head contains all needed circuits. Save PCB space!
• No external components – even the decoupling capacitor is integrated. Only 4 signals, VDD,
VSS, DATA, and STROBE to connect to your micro-controller for up to 3 tracks
• Data buffer with Shift-Out – allows full card data to be locally stored on ASIC. Use a low-
power controller with interrupt on swipe, limited memory, low-speed, low pin-count, etc.
• High noise immunity – no analog signals leave the shielded magnetic head! Withstands noisy
PC monitors, cell phones, switching power supplies, etc.
• High performance decoding – new design reads badly damaged cards; compensates for poor
head mounting
• Robust re-synchronization capabilities – reads cards with badly damaged leading or
synchronization zero-bits in either swipe direction
• Low voltage operation – 2.85 V to 3.6 V
• Low operating current – less than 1.2 mA maximum total current at 3.3V (for up to 3 tracks)
while card is being swiped
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control) – reads cards from 30% - 200% of ISO 7811 amplitude
standard
• Wide operational temperature range – -40 °C to +85 °C
• Wide range of card swipe speeds – from 6 ips to 100 ips (15 cm/s to 250 cm/s)
• ROHS Compliant – “lead (Pb) free” component
