Product catalog summary
Overview: The Lepton3 (Model R3100C) is an ultra-compact, high-performance RAIN RFID reader designed for low power applications. It features programmable output power ranging from 10 dBm to 25 dBm, allowing tag detection at distances over 2 meters. The module is optimized for integration into battery-powered devices due to its low power consumption. It is based on the Impinj E310 IC, ensuring fast reading speeds and effective operation in dense environments. The Lepton3 is suitable for both European and US regulatory environments and is pin-to-pin compatible with Impinj RS1000 and RS500 modules.
Features: The Lepton3 supports RAIN RFID (UHF EPC Class1 Gen2, ISO 18000-63) and offers multiregional support. It is ultra-compact, with up to 25 dBm output power, and includes a serial interface with TTL levels. The device is designed for low power consumption.
Applications: The module is ideal for handheld devices, multiregional label printers and applicators, point-of-sale readers, and voice-operated gloves.

Lepton3 Datasheet-1

Lepton3 25dBm 1-Port RAIN RFID Reader Module Ultra compact size High Sensitivity Features • RAIN RFID (UHF EPC Class1 Gen2, ISO 18000-63) compliant • Multiregional support • Ultra compact size • Up to 25 dBm (316 mW) output power • Serial interface (TTL Levels) • Low power consumption Applications • Handheld devices • Multiregional label printers and applicators • Points of sale readers • Voice operated gloves Surface mount device (SMD) Serial interface Overview The Lepton3 (Model R3100C), an embedded reader of the easy2read© product line, is an ultra compact reader for low power, high performance RAIN RFID applications. With programmable output power from 10 dBm to 25 dBm, the reader can detect tags at more than 2 m of distance (depending on antenna and tag dimensions). Due to its low power consumption, the module is specifically designed to be easily integrated in battery powered devices. The radio frequency core of the module is based on the Impinj E310 IC that permits to achieve fast reading speed and to be used in dense reader and dense tag environments for top-class rated performances. The compactness of the device and the surface mount technology allow to embed the Lepton3 inside the new small form factor industrial handhelds, smartphone accessories and other compact form factor devices. The Lepton3 complies with and can operate in both European and US regulatory environments and, thanks to its multiregional capabilities, it’s ideal for integration in devices requiring compliance to different geographical regions. The Lepton3 is pin-to-pin compatible with the Impinj RS1000 and RS500 modules making it a perfect replacemen
