Micro680
Product Sheet

Very compact and convenient short-range coupler

The processing features of this coupler are equivalent to those of the GCI680. An integrated antenna fitted with ferrite allows normal operation.

The Micro680 is a serial interface reader for GemEasy8000 and other MifareŽ family products, including GemFlash300 or GemCombi™/Gate (for the future release of the operating system).

Typical operating distance with GemEasy8000 type contactless cards is 25 mm.

The Micro680 is currently available in Version 2.0. An OEM version includes several communication modes (RS485, RS232, TTL and Wiegand+Active Antenna). A future version with only RS232 will be developed in 1999.

High-Level Operating System

The Micro680, like the GCI680, is microprocessor controlled and runs ROS680 firmware.

This offers easy interface with applications through ISO 7816-4 APDU format commands.

ROS680 has combined commands allowing an advanced sequence of elementary actions to be executed (e.g., authentication and reading or writing of several blocks on a single sector).

Micro680 benefits from ROS680 upgrades with support for advanced commands  (backup management and withdrawal management for electronic purse applications). This version of operating system supports the following cards:

GemEasy8000

GemEasy300

MA8000

GemCombi™ /Gate (only with future version 2.80)

The capabilities of the ROS680 significantly reduce transaction processing time and improve application efficiency.

Modularity for Greater Potential

The Micro680 has a modular design, allowing various options to be implemented. It can even be used as a short range active antenna driven by a GCI680 or a Micro680.
