1. General description
NXP’s UCODE G2iM series transponder ICs offers in addition to the leading-edge read
range features such as a Tag Tamper Alarm, Data Transfer, Digital Switch, advanced
privacy-protection modes and a 640 bit configurable User Memory.
Very high chip sensitivity (17.5 dBm) enables longer read ranges with simple, single-port
antenna designs. In fashion and retail the UCODE G2iM series improve read rates and
provide for theft deterrence. In the electronic device market, they are ideally suited for
device configuration, activation, production control and PCB tagging. In authentication
applications, they protect brands and guard against counterfeiting. They can also be used
to tag containers, electronic vehicles, airline baggage, and more.
In addition to the EPC specifications the UCODE G2iM offers an integrated Product Status
Flag (PSF) feature and read protection of the memory content.
The UCODE G2iM+ offers on top of the UCODE G2iM features an integrated tag tamper
alarm, digital switch, external supply mode, data transfer mode and real read range
reduction. A special feature is the conditional, automatic real read range reduction, where
the activation condition can be defined by the user, is newly introduced in the UCODE
G2iM+. When connected to a power supply, the READ as well as the WRITE range can
be boosted to a sensitivity of 27 dBm.
The UCODE G2iM+ also allows the segmentation of the 640 bit User Memory in up to
three segments (open, protected, private) with different access levels (Access- and User
Password). For applications which require a longer EPC number the UCODE G2iM+
offers the possibility of up to 448 bit.

UCODE G2iM and G2iM+
10. Functional description
10.1 Air interface standards
The UCODE G2iM fully supports all parts of the "Specification for RFID Air Interface
EPCglobal, EPCTM Radio-Frequency Identity Protocols, Class-1 Generation-2 UHF
RFID, Protocol for Communications at 860 MHz to 960 MHz, Version 1.2.0".
10.2 Power transfer
The interrogator provides an RF field that powers the tag, equipped with a UCODE G2iM.
The antenna transforms the impedance of free space to the chip input impedance in order
to get the maximum possible power for the UCODE G2iM on the tag. The UCODE G2iM+
can also be supplied externally.
The RF field, which is oscillating on the operating frequency provided by the interrogator,
is rectified to provide a smoothed DC voltage to the analog and digital modules of the IC.
The antenna attached to the chip may use a DC connection between the two antenna
pads which also enables loop antenna design.
10.3 Data transfer
10.3.1 Reader to tag Link
An interrogator transmits information to the UCODE G2iM by modulating an UHF RF
signal. The UCODE G2iM receives both information and operating energy from this RF
signal. Tags are passive, meaning that they receive all of their operating energy from the
interrogator's RF waveform. In order to further improve the read range the UCODE G2iM
can be externally supplied as well so the energy to operate the chip does not need to be
transmitted by the reader.
An interrogator is using a fixed modulation and data rate for the duration of at least one
inventory round. It communicates to the UCODE G2iM by modulating an RF carrier using
DSB-ASK with PIE encoding.
For further details refer to Section 17, Ref. 1. Interrogator-to-tag (R=>T) communications.
10.3.2 Tag to reader Link
An interrogator receives information from a UCODE G2iM by transmitting an unmodulated
RF carrier and listening for a backscattered reply. The UCODE G2iM backscatters by
switching the reflection coefficient of its antenna between two states in accordance with
the data being sent. For further details refer to Section 17, Ref. 1, chapter 6.3.1.3.
The UCODE G2iM communicates information by backscatter-modulating the amplitude
and/or phase of the RF carrier. Interrogators shall be capable of demodulating either
demodulation type.
The encoding format, selected in response to interrogator commands, is either FM0
baseband or Miller-modulated subcarrier.

10.4 UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ differences
The UCODE G2iM is tailored for application where EPC or TID number space, and User
Memory is needed. The UCODE G2iM+ provides beside the segmented memory
additional functionality such as tag tamper alarm, external supply operation to further
boost read/write range (external supply mode), a privacy mode reducing the read range
where the activation criteria (open or short) can be defined or I/O functionality (data
transfer to externally connected devices) where required.

In addition to the four memory banks two configuration words are available. The first to
handle the UCODE G2iM memory configuration (Mem-Config-Word) is available at EPC
bank 01 address 1F0h and the second to handle UCODE G2iM specific features
Config-Word) is available at EPC bank 01 address 200h. The configuration words are
described in detail in Section 10.7.1 “ChangeConfig” and Section 10.7.3 “UCODE G2iM+
memory configuration control mechanism”.
Memory pages (16 bit words) pre-programmed to zero will not execute an erase cycle
before writing data to it. This approach accelerates initialization of the chip and enables
faster programming of the memory.

10.7 Custom commands
The UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ supports a number of additional features and
custom commands. Nevertheless, the chip is designed in a way standard EPCglobal
READ/WRITE/ACCESS commands can be used to operate the features.
The memory map stated in the previous section describes the Config-Word used to
control the additional features located at address 200h as well as the Mem-Config-Word
located at 1F0h of the EPC memory. For this reason the standard READ/WRITE
commands of an UHF EPCglobal compliant reader can be used to select the flags,
activate/deactivate features or define memory segments.
The features can only be activated/deactivated (written) using standard EPC WRITE
command as long the EPC is not locked. In case the EPC is locked either the bank needs
to be unlocked to apply changes or the ChangeConfig custom command is used to
change the settings.
The UCODE G2iM products supports the complete UCODE G2iL command set for
backward compatibility reasons.
Bit 14h of the TID indicates the existence of a Configuration Word. This flag will enable
selecting Config-Word enhanced transponders in mixed tag populations.
10.7.1 ChangeConfig
Although UCODE G2iM is tailored for supply chain management, item level tagging and
product authentication the UCODE G2iM+ version enables active interaction with
products. Among the password protected features are the capability of download firmware
to electronics, activate/deactivate electronics which can also be used as theft deterrence,
a dedicated privacy mode by reducing the read range, integrated PSF (Product Status
Flag) or Tag Tamper Alarm. In addition to the UCODE G2iL/G2iL+ the activation condition
(open/short) for the Read Range Reduction can be defined by the user.
The UCODE G2iM ChangeConfig custom command allows handling the special NXP
Semiconductors features described in the following paragraph. Please also see the
memory map in Section 10.6 “UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ memory” and “Section
10.7.2 “UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ special features control mechanism”. If the
EPC memory is not write locked the standard EPC READ/WRITE command can be used
to change the settings.
UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ special features1
UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ common special features are:
• Bank wise read protection (separate for EPC, TID and User Memory)
EPC bank (except of configuration words), the serial number part of the TID as well as
the User TID and the User Memory (open segment) can be read protected
independently. When protected reading of the particular memory will return '0'. The
flags of the Config-Word can be selected using the standard SELECT command. Only
read protected parts will then participate an inventory round.
1.
The features can only be manipulated (enabled/disabled) with unlocked EPC bank, otherwise the ChangeConfig command can be
used.

UCODE G2iM and G2iM+
• Integrated PSF (Product Status Flag)
The PSF is a general purpose flag that can be used as an EAS (Electronic Article
Surveillance) flag, quality checked flag or similar.
The UCODE G2iM offers two ways of detecting an activated PSF. In cases extremely
fast detection is needed the EAS_Alarm command can be used. The UCODE G2iM
will reply a 64 bit alarm code like described in section EAS_Alarm upon sending the
command. As a second option the EPC SELECT command selecting the PSF flag of
the Config-Word can be used. In the following inventory round only PSF enabled
chips will reply their EPC number.
• Backscatter strength reduction
The UCODE G2iM features two levels of backscatter strengths. Per default maximum
backscatter is enabled in order to enable maximum read rates. When clearing the flag
the strength can be reduced if needed.
UCODE G2iM+ specific special features are:1
• Real Read Range Reduction 4R (UCODE G2iM+ only)
Some applications require the reduction of the read range to close proximity for
privacy reasons. Setting the 4R flag will significantly reduce the chip sensitivity to
+12 dBm. The +12 dBm have to be available at chip start up (slow increase of field
strength is not applicable). For additional privacy, the read protection can be activated
in the same configuration step. The related flag of the configuration word can be
selected using the standard SELECT command so only chips with reduced read
range will be part of an inventory.
Remark: The attenuation will result in only a few centimeter of read range at 36 dBm
EIRP!
• Tag Tamper Alarm (UCODE G2iM+ only)
The UCODE G2iM+ Tamper Alarm will flag the status of the VDD to OUT pad
connection which can be designed as an predetermined breaking point (see
Figure 6).

The status of the pad connection (open/closed) can be read in the configuration register
and/or selected using the EPC SELECT. This feature enables the design of a wireless
RFID safety seal. When breaking the connection by peeling off the label or manipulating a
lock an alarm can be triggered.

UCODE G2iM and G2iM+
• Conditional Real Read Range Reduction (UCODE G2iM+ only)
In addition to the 4R and the Tag Tamper Alarm feature the UCODE G2iM+ offers a
feature which combines both in one functionality. This feature allow the automatic
activation of the 4R depending on the status of the VDD to OUT pad connection. To
offer high flexibility for the applications the 4R activation can be done on short (bit 8 =
’1’) or open (bit 8 =’0’) of the VDD to OUT pad connection. For activation of this
feature bit 7 and bit 11 of the Config-Word have to be set to ’1’.
• Digital Switch (UCODE G2iM+ only)
By connecting a supply voltage between RFN and VDD the OUT pin of the UCODE
G2iM+ can be used as digital switch. Depending on the ‘Digital Output’ bit of the
Config-Word register the state of the OUT pin can be switched to VDD or GND.
The state of the OUT pin is persistent in the memory even after KILL or switching off
the supply. In absence of external Vsupply, one cannot detect the difference in Ohmic
resistance between OUT and VDD, regardless of whether ‘Digital Output’ bit is 0 or 1.
The state of the OUT pin can also be changed temporary by toggling the 'Invert Digital
Output' bit.
This feature will allow activating/deactivating externally connected peripherals or can
be used as theft deterrence of electronics.
• Data transfer Mode (UCODE G2iM+ only)
In applications where not switching the output like described in "Digital Switch" but
external device communication is needed the UCODE G2iM+ Data Transfer Mode
can be used by setting the according bit of the Config-Word register. When activated
the air interface communication will be directly transferred to the OUT pad of the chip.
Two modes of data transfer are available and can be switched using the Transparent
Mode DATA/RAW bit.
The default Transparent Mode DATA will remove the Frame Sync of the
communication and toggle the output with every raising edge in the RF field. This will
allow implementing a Manchester type of data transmission.
The Transparent Mode RAW will switch the demodulated air interface communication
to the OUT pad.
• External Supply Indicator - Digital Input (UCODE G2iM+ only)
The VDD pad of the UCODE G2iM+ can be used as a digital input pin. The state of
the pad is directly associated with the External Supply Indicator bit of the configuration
register. A simple return signaling (chip to reader) can be implemented by polling this
Configuration Word register flag. RF reset is necessary for proper polling.
• External Supply Mode (G2iM+ only)
The UCODE G2iM+ can be supplied externally by connecting 1.85 V (Iout = 0 A)
supply. When externally supplied less energy from the RF field is needed to operate
the chip. This will not just enable further improved sensitivity and read ranges (up to
-27 dBm) but also enable a write range that is equal to the read range.
The figure schematically shows the supply connected to the UCODE G2iM+.
Remark: When permanently externally supplied there will not be a power-on-reset. This
will result in the following limitations:
• When externally supplied session flag S0 will keep it’s state during RF-OFF phase.
• When externally supplied session flag S2, S3, SL will have infinite persistence time
and will behave similar to S0.
• Session flag S1 will behave regular like in pure passive operation.

UCODE G2iM and G2iM+
The features can only be activated/deactivated using standard EPC WRITE if the EPC
bank is unlocked. The permanent and temporary bits of the Configuration Word can be
toggled without the need for an Access Password in case the Access Password is set to
zero. In case the EPC bank is locked the lock needs to be removed before applying
changes or the ChangeConfig command has to be used.
10.7.2 UCODE G2iM and UCODE G2iM+ special features control mechanism
Special features of the UCODE G2iM are managed using a configuration word
(Config-Word) located at address 200h in the EPC memory bank.
The entire Config-Word is selectable (using the standard EPC SELECT command), as
well as single bits, and can be read using standard EPC READ command and modified
using the standard EPC WRITE or ChangeConfig custom command in case the EPC
memory is locked for writing.
ChangeConfig can be executed from the OPEN and SECURED state.
The chip will take all “Toggle Bits” for ’0’ if the chip is in the OPEN state or the ACCESS
password is zero; therefore it will not alter any status bits, but report the current status
only. The command will be ignored with an invalid CRC-16 or an invalid handle. The chip
will then remain in the current state. The CRC-16 is calculated from the first
command-code bit to the last handle bit.
A ChangeConfig command without frame-sync and proceeding Req_RN will be ignored.
The command will also be ignored if any of the RFU bits are toggled.
In order to change the configuration, to activate/deactivate a feature a ’1’ has to be written
to the corresponding register flag to toggle the status. E.g. sending 0x0002 to the register
will activate the read protection of the TID. Sending the same command a second time will
again clear the read protection of the TID. Invalid toggling on indicator or RFU bits are
ignored.
Executing the command with zero as payload or in the OPEN state will return the current
register settings. The chip will reply to a successful ChangeStatus with an extended
preamble regardless of the TRext value of the Query command.
After sending a ChangeConfig an interrogator shall transmit CW for less than TReply or
20ms, where TReply is the time between the interrogator's ChangeConfig command and
the chip’s backscattered reply. An interrogator may observe three possible responses
after sending a ChangeConfig, depending on the success or failure of the operation
• ChangeConfig succeeded: The chip will backscatter the reply shown above
comprising a header (a 0-bit), the current Config-Word setting, the handle, and a
CRC-16 calculated over the 0-bit, the Config-Word and the handle. If the interrogator
observes this reply within 20 ms then the ChangeConfig completed successfully.
• The chip encounters an error: The chip will backscatter an error code during the CW
period rather than the reply shown below (see EPCglobal Spec for error-code
definitions and for the reply format).
• ChangeConfig does not succeed: If the interrogator does not observe a reply within
20 ms then the ChangeConfig did not complete successfully. The interrogator may
issue a Req_RN command (containing the handle) to verify that the chip is still in the
interrogator's field, and may reissue the ChangeConfig command.

10.7.3 UCODE G2iM+ memory configuration control mechanism
The segmented user memory available in the UCODE G2iM+ enables a flexible
configuration of the device with respect to EPC size and access rights to the User
Memory.
The standard configuration offers 256 bit EPC memory and 512 bit open User Memory for
UCODE G2iM and 128 bit EPC memory and 640 bit open User Memory for UCODE
G2iM+. For applications where more EPC memory is required the UCODE G2iM+ offers
the flexibility to extend the 128 bit EPC up to 448 bit (in steps of 64 bit) by reducing the
User Memory size accordingly. See Table 15 and Table 17.

The memory configuration can be defined one time, by programming the memory
configuration word, at the initialization of the UCODE G2iM+. The UCODE G2iM+

• RFU-Bits:
The four RFU bits are fixed to 0000b. These four bits are ignored for access
commands (e.g. WRITE).
• Number of EPC blocks:
The 4 bit of this region specify the number of blocks (max. 5) which should be added
on top of the standard EPC Memory of 128bit.
• Number of Protected memory blocks:
The 4 bit of this region specify the number of blocks which should be used for the
Protected memory region.
• Number of Private memory blocks:
The 4 bit of this region specify the number of blocks which should be used for the
Private memory region.
The total amount of User Memory is defined by the number of blocks for EPC-, Open-,
Protected- and Private- memory area. Based on the total User Memory size (640 bit) and
the defined block size of 64 bit, the overall number of blocks results in ten blocks. As
described in the examples (Table 19 to Table 21) below the blocks used for the EPC-,
Open-, Protected- or Private segment can be exchanged according to the application
requirements as long as the overall block number is below ten.
The number of blocks allocated to the Open Memory Area are defined by the number of
blocks specified in the Mem-Config-Word, therefore the size of the Open Memory area is
derived by subtracting the number of defined blocks (Mem-Config-Word) from the total
available number of blocks of the User Memory (10 blocks). Undefined blocks are always
added to the Open Memory area.
In case an invalid total amount of blocks (exceeds ten) is written to the Mem-Config-Word,
the configuration fails and the error code (Locked Memory) will be returned.
The entire Mem-Config-Word is selectable (using the standard EPC SELECT command),
as well as single bits, and can be read using standard EPC READ command and modified
using the standard EPC WRITE command.
NOTE:
THE MEM-CONFIG-WORD IS ONE TIME PROGRAMMABLE.
Programming has be performed in the secured state.
In case no programming of the memory configuration word is done at the initialization of
the UCODE G2iM+ it will be automatically locked upon a lock of any part of the memory.

10.7.4 Private Memory Segment
The Private memory is a part of the User Memory which can be accessed out of the
secured state only. Private regions will appear as non existent to not authorized users.
The address of the location of the User Password is not fixed and has therefore to be
calculated based on the applied memory configuration.
The 32 bit User Password is located at the end of the User Memory. Since the UCODE
G2iM+ memory is configurable and can be segmented the address location of the User
Password depends on the Memory configuration done at the initialization.
User Password address calculation:
HEX[(Total number of memory blocks - blocks appointed to EPC)*Blocksize)]
Example:
EPC length: 192
This means that 1 block from the User Memory is required (128 bit + 64 bit)
HEX[(101)*64]=HEX[9*64]=HEX[384]=240h
Therefore the User Password for this configuration is located at address 240h to 25Fh

UCODE G2iM and G2iM+
10.7.5 ReadProtect2
The UCODE G2iM ReadProtect custom command enables reliable read protection of the
entire UCODE G2iM memory. Executing ReadProtect from the Secured state will set the
ProtectEPC and ProtectTID bits of the Configuration Word to '1'. With the ReadProtect-Bit
set the UCODE G2iM will continue to work unaffected but veil its protected content.
The read protection can be removed by executing Reset ReadProtect. The
ReadProtect-Bits will than be cleared.
Devices whose access password is zero will ignore the command. A frame-sync must be
pre-pended the command.
After sending the ReadProtect command an interrogator shall transmit CW for the lesser
of TReply or 20 ms, where TReply is the time between the interrogator's ReadProtect
command and the backscattered reply. An interrogator may observe three possible
responses after sending a ReadProtect, depending on the success or failure of the
operation:
• ReadProtect succeeds: After completing the ReadProtect the UCODE G2iM shall
backscatter the reply shown in Table 23 comprising a header (a 0-bit), the tag's
handle, and a CRC-16 calculated over the 0-bit and handle. Immediately after this
reply the UCODE G2iM will render itself to this ReadProtect mode. If the interrogator
observes this reply within 20 ms then the ReadProtect completed successfully.
• The UCODE G2iM encounters an error: The UCODE G2iM will backscatter an error
code during the CW period rather than the reply shown in the EPCglobal Spec (see
Annex I for error-code definitions and for the reply format).
• ReadProtect does not succeed: If the interrogator does not observe a reply within
20 ms then the ReadProtect did not complete successfully. The interrogator may
issue a Req_RN command (containing the handle) to verify that the UCODE G2iM is

10.7.6 Reset ReadProtect2
Reset ReadProtect allows an interrogator to clear the ProtectEPC and ProtectTID bits of
the Configuration Word. This will re-enable reading of the related UCODE G2iM memory
content.
For details on the command response please refer to Table 25 “Reset ReadProtect
command”.
After sending a Reset ReadProtect an interrogator shall transmit CW for the lesser of
TReply or 20 ms, where TReply is the time between the interrogator's Reset ReadProtect
command and the UCODE G2iM backscattered reply. A Req_RN command prior to the
Reset ReadProtect is necessary to successfully execute the command. A frame-sync
must be pre-pended the command.
An interrogator may observe three possible responses after sending a Reset
ReadProtect, depending on the success or failure of the operation:
• Reset ReadProtect succeeds: After completing the Reset ReadProtect a UCODE
G2iM will backscatter the reply shown in Table 26 comprising a header (a 0-bit), the
handle, and a CRC-16 calculated over the 0-bit and handle. If the interrogator
observes this reply within 20 ms then the Reset ReadProtect completed successfully.
• The UCODE G2iM encounters an error: The UCODE G2iM will backscatter an error
code during the CW period rather than the reply shown in Table 26 (see EPCglobal
Spec for error-code definitions and for the reply format).
• Reset ReadProtect does not succeed: If the interrogator does not observe a reply
within 20 ms then the Reset ReadProtect did not complete successfully. The
interrogator may issue a Req_RN command (containing the handle) to verify that the
G2iM is still in the interrogation zone, and may reissue the Reset ReadProtect
command.
The UCODE G2iM reply to the Reset ReadProtect command will use the extended
preamble shown in EPCglobal Spec (Figure 6.11 or Figure 6.15), as appropriate (i.e. a
UCODE G2iM will reply as if TRext=1 regardless of the TRext value in the Query that
initiated the round.

The Reset ReadProtect command is structured as following:
• 16 bit command
• Password: 32 bit Access-Password XOR with 2 times current RN16
Remark: To generate the 32 bit password the 16 bit RN16 is duplicated and used two
times to generate the 32 bit (e.g. a RN16 of 1234 will result in 1234 1234).
• 16 bit handle
• CRC-16 calculate over the first command-code bit to the last handle bit

10.7.7 ChangeEAS2
UCODE G2iM equipped RFID tags will also feature a stand-alone operating EAS alarm
mechanism for fast and offline electronic article surveillance. The PSF bit of the
Config-Word directly relates to the EAS Alarm feature. With an PSF bit set to '1' the tag
will reply to an EAS_Alarm command by backscattering a 64 bit alarm code without the
need of a Select or Query. The EAS is a built-in solution so no connection to a backend
database is required. In case the EAS_Alarm command is not implemented in the reader
a standard EPC SELCET to the Config-Word and Query can be used. When using
standard SELECT/QUERY the EPC will be returned during inventory.
ChangeEAS can be executed from the Secured state only. The command will be ignored
if the Access Password is zero, the command will also be ignored with an invalid CRC-16
or an invalid handle, the UCODE G2iM will than remain in the current state. The CRC-16
is calculated from the first command-code bit to the last handle bit. A frame-sync must be
pre-pended the command.
The UCODE G2iM reply to a successful ChangeEAS will use the extended preamble, as
appropriate (i.e. a Tag shall reply as if TRext=1) regardless of the TRext value in the
Query that initiated the round.
After sending a ChangeEAS an interrogator shall transmit CW for less than TReply or
20 ms, where TReply is the time between the interrogator's ChangeEAS command and
the UCODE G2iM backscattered reply. An interrogator may observe three possible
responses after sending a ChangeEAS, depending on the success or failure of the
operation
• ChangeEAS succeeds: After completing the ChangeEAS a UCODE G2iM will
backscatter the reply shown in Table 29 comprising a header (a 0-bit), the handle, and
a CRC-16 calculated over the 0-bit and handle. If the interrogator observes this reply
within
20 ms then the ChangeEAS completed successfully.
• The UCODE G2iM encounters an error: The UCODE G2iM will backscatter an error
code during the CW period rather than the reply shown in Table 29 (see EPCglobal
Spec for error-code definitions and for the reply format).
• ChangeEAS does not succeed: If the interrogator does not observe a reply within
20 ms then the ChangeEAS did not complete successfully. The interrogator may
issue a Req_RN command (containing the handle) to verify that the G2iM is still in the
interrogator's field, and may reissue the ChangeEAS command.
Upon receiving a valid ChangeEAS command a G2iM will perform the commanded
set/reset operation of the PSF bit of the Configuration Word.
If PSF bit is set, the EAS_Alarm command will be available after the next power up and
reply the 64 bit EAS code upon execution. Otherwise the EAS_Alarm command will be
ignored.

10.7.8 EAS_Alarm
Upon receiving an EAS_Alarm custom command the UCODE G2iM will immediately
backscatter an EAS-Alarmcode in case the PSF bit of the Config-Word is set. The alarm
code is returned without any delay caused by Select, Query and without the need for a
backend database.
The EAS feature of the UCODE G2iM is available after enabling it by sending a
ChangeEAS command described in Section 10.7.7 “ChangeEAS2” or after setting the
PSF bit of the Config-Word to ’1’. With the EAS-Alarm enabled the UCODE G2iM will
reply to an EAS_Alarm command by backscattering a fixed 64 bit alarm code. A UCODE
G2iM will reply to an EAS_Alarm command from the ready state only. As an alternative to
the fast EAS_Alarm command a standard SELECT (upon the Config-Word) and QUERY
can be used.
If the PSF bit is reset to '0' by sending a ChangeEAS command in the password protected
Secure state or clearing the PSF bit the UCODE G2iM will not reply to an EAS_Alarm
command.
The EAS_Alarm command is structured as following:
• 16 bit command
• 16 bit inverted command
• DR (TRcal divide ratio) sets the T=>R link frequency as described in EPCglobal Spec.
6.3.1.2.8 and Table 6.9.
• M (cycles per symbol) sets the T=>R data rate and modulation format as shown in
EPCglobal Spec. Table 6.10.
• TRext chooses whether the T=>R preamble is pre-pended with a pilot tone as
described in EPCglobal Spec. 6.3.1.3.
A preamble must be pre-pended the EAS_Alarm command according EPCglobal Spec,
6.3.1.2.8.

14. Handling information
14.1 Assembly conditions
14.1.1 General assembly recommendations
While pads OUT and VDD are not used for UCODE G2iM (SL3S1003), they are still
electrically active and therefore must not be connected to the antenna and the RFN and
RFP pads.
In case of any doubts, the customer is constrained to contact NXP Semiconductors for
further clarification.
14.1.2 Label converting
Generally, an optimization of the entire lamination process by label manufacturer is
recommended in order to minimize the stress onto the module and guarantee high
assembly yield. Roller diameter must not be smaller than 45 mm.
