1 Introduction
This MMRW-MD-U01 is a reader/writer module complied with multiband RFID chip dubbed as “MM Chip”.
This document contains the instructions to use and evaluate the functions and the performance of this device.
For external interface connection, either USB or UART serial connection can be applied, which is applicable to
almost all of the controller systems.
For more details on the product specifications, please refer to “MMRW-U02 Product Specification Document”.
2 Usage Important Points
[Regulation/Standards]
This product follows the guidance for reading/writing communication equipment. It is important to check the
regulation/standard and the seller or user of the intended country.
[Points to take notes before using the product]
1) This product is designed for general use and should not be utilized with application such as medical
appliances related to human life or in space satellite environment which requires high reliability. Our
company will not be responsible for any accidents caused from the said events, such as personal accident,
fire accident or any public related accident.
2) This product is emitting radio wave which can affect medical appliances such as the pacemaker device.
3) Do not place this product near any radio device since it can cause interference.
4) Do not touch the connector terminal as it can result in electrical shock and will eventually destroy the
product.

7.1 Transmitting circuit
Fig1 is Transmitting circuit. When VCO Control voltage from U11 PLL Synthesizer LMX2433 12pin is input,
VCO SV910ER1418 of U18 oscillate the 919.0MHz - 923.0MHz (Malaysia band, waveform ①). C53 output
is an oscillator feedback out for U15. Oscillating out can control Gain with Gain Control Amplifier of U20 μ
