Functional Overview and Description 2.1 Overview 2.3 Communication Interface - Tag to Reader The reader and the pre-programmed NCD1015ZP transponder comprise the two elements of a half-duplex wireless communications system operating in a sequential mode with time-separated power and data transmission cycles. Power transfer to the transponder (tag) is accomplished by electromagnetic coupling of the transponder and reader antennae. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation is employed by the NCD1015ZP to transmit the stored data immediately after detecting the end of the reader’s activation field. As can be seen in Figure 1, the tag’s transmit (Response phase) directly follows the Powering phase. 2.2 Power Transfer As shown below in Figure 1, an activation field sourced by the reader supplies power to the transponder at the beginning of a read request. The reader generates an electromagnetic field for 50 ms using an activation frequency of 134.2 kHz to energize the resonant circuit of the transponder. During this Powering Phase, circuitry within the transponder rectifies the induced voltage to charge an internal storage capacitor. Energy held by the storage capacitor provides the means by which the transponder transmits it’s stored data. The reader terminates the activation field to indicate it is ready to receive data from the transponder. Transfer of the stored digital information is accomplished by using two discrete frequencies, one for a logic “1” (High) and another for a logic “0” (Low). The nominal frequencies used for data transmission are: • f1 = 124.2kHz is for logic high data encoding • f0 = 134.2kHz is for logic low data encoding 2.3.1 Data Bit Structure Data bits are transmitted as 16 cycles of their respective frequency. Because a logic high (1) data bit uses a lower frequency than that for a logic low (0), the duration of a 1 bit is longer than a 0 bit. The duration for logic 1 and logic 0 bits is given below. • td1 = 16/f1 = 16/124.2kHz = 128.8us • td0 = 16/f0 = 16/134.2kHz = 119.2us Figure 1: Activation and Read Phases: Voltage at the Reader’s Exciter and Transponder Coils Figure 2 illustrates the FSK encoding principle used to transmit the stored data. Figure 2: FSK Transmission Used During the Read Phase 2.3.2 Transponder Data Rate and Data Coding The data coding is based on the NRZ method thus achieving an average data rate of ~8kbit/s based on an equal distribution of '0' and '1' data bits. 2.3.3 Completion of Transmission Following the output of the last bit, the transponder deactivates. 4 www.ixysic.com R02 NCD1015ZP INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DIVISION 2.4 Transmission Protocol 2.4.1 Transponder - Response Data Format An RFID answer by the NCD1015ZP contains a Header, the identification DATA, a CRC value, and a Trailer. Framed as shown below in Figure 3 the transmitted signal has a fixed length of 128 bits. The Header consists of a16-bit Pre-Bits leader followed by an 8-bit Start byte. Following the CRC error checking value is the Trailer consisting of an 8-bit Stop byte followed by the 16-bit Post. Depending on the value of the sixteenth Data bit, logical data address [48], the Stop byte value changes. When the identification data stored in the NCD1050ZP complies with ISO 11784, data bit 16 as defined in ISO 11784 will be 0 and the Stop byte value will be 0x7E. For identification data not compliant with ISO 11784 the Stop byte value will be determined by the value stored in the sixteenth bit of the data. The Data, CRC, Stop and Post data will be transmitted starting with the LSB and ending with the MSB.

Data bit position as defined in ISO 11784 2.4.2 CRC - CCITT Error Checking The CRC generator circuitry creates a 16 bit CRC to ensure the integrity of the data packets received by the transponder. The reader and transponder use the CRC-CCITT (Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone) algorithm for error detection. The 16-bit cyclic redundancy code is calculated using the following polynomial: P(X) = x16 + x12 + x5 + x0 Figure 4: Schematic Diagram of the 16-Bit CRC-CCITT Generator Data in P (X) = X0 X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 LSB R02 X7 X8 X9 X10 X11 X12 X13 X14 X15 MSB www.ixysic.com 5 NCD1015ZP INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DIVISION 3.
