ID TECH Trimag™ Custom Three-Track Decoding Chip for Magnetic Stripes

Trimag Custom Three-Track Decoding Chip for Magnetic StripesISO COMPLIANT
ID TECH's TriMag (IDT140) custom digital decoding IC is designed for use with magnetic stripe reading applications. It is capable of decoding up to three tracks of ISO7811 compatible (F2F) magnetically encoded data at velocities from five inches per second (ips) to 55 ips. Additionally, it can accurately decode bit cells with amplitude variations down to 30% and jitter of up to 30% (subinterval) as defined in the ISO7811-2 standards.

"STATE-OF-THE-ART" ELECTRONICS
This breakthrough in decoding technology utilizes a high density 0.8 um CMOS integrated circuit which results in low power state-of-the-art decoding technology. It is packaged in a low profile 20-pin SOIC format which provides a small footprint and a low-cost solution. A clock pulse is supplied with a data signal for each track of magnetic encoding using Aiken (F2F) code. The chip has a "stand-by" mode which draws less than one microamp of power supply current when enabled. It is versatile; capable of handling single, dual or triple tracks of magnetic data by simply installing the appropriate external components.

VERSATILE
This digital decoding IC is supported by ID TECH's field-proved front-end electronics, which are used to amplify and condition most magnetic head outputs. It is uniquely designed to compensate for different magnetic head characteristics by adjusting external component values. ID TECH supports customer applications, both custom and standard, with unequaled customer service and technical support.
