1 KBit Read/Write Contactless Identification Device
Description
Features
The EM4450/4550 is a CMOS integrated circuit intended
for use in electronic Read/Write RF Transponders. The
difference between EM4450 and EM4550 is that EM4550
are bumped and has megapads for the two coils. The chip
contains 1 KBit of EEPROM which can be configured by
the user, allowing a write inhibited area, a read protected
area, and a read area output continuously at power on.
The memory can be secured by using the 32 bit password
for all write and read protected operations. The password
can be updated, but never read. The fixed code serial
number and device identification are laser programmed
making every chip unique.
The EM4450/4550 will transmit data to the transceiver by
modulating the amplitude of the electromagnetic field, and
receive data and commands in a similar way. Simple
commands will enable to write EEPROM, to update the
password, to read a specific memory area, and to reset
the logic.
The coil of the tuned circuit is the only external component
required, all remaining functions are integrated in the chip.

RF periods
RF periods represent periods of the carrier frequency emitted by the transceiver unit. For example, if 125 kHz is used :
The Read bit period (Opt64) would be : 1/125'000*64 = 512 µs, and the time to read 1 word : 1/125'000*3200 = 25.6 ms.
The Read bit period (Opt32) would be : 1/125'000*32 = 256 µs, and the time to read 1 word : 1/125'000*1600 = 12.8 ms.
ATTENTION
Due to amplitude modulation of the coil-signal, the clock-extractor may miss clocks or add spurious clocks close
to the edges of the RF-envelope. This desynchronisation will not be larger than ±3 clocks per bit and must be
taken into account when developing reader software.
Functional Description
General
The EM4450/4550 is supplied by means of an electromagnetic field induced on the attached coil. The AC voltage is rectified
in order to provide a DC internal supply voltage. When the DC voltage crosses the Power-On level, the chip enters the
Standard Read Mode and sends data continuously. The data to be sent in this mode is user defined by storing the first and
last addresses to be output. When the last address is sent, the chip will continue with the first address until the transceiver
sends a request. In the read mode, a Listen Window (LIW) is generated before each word. During this time, the
EM4450/4550 will turn to the Receive Mode (RM) if it receives a valid RM pattern. The chip then expects a valid command.

Memory Organisation
The 1024 bit EEPROM is organised in 32 words of 32 bits. The first three words are assigned to the Password, the
Protection word, and the Control word. In order to write one of these three words, it is necessary to send the valid
password. At fabrication, the EM4450/4550 comes with all bits of the password programmed to a logic "0". The Password
cannot be read out. The memory contains two extra words of Laser ROM. These words are laser programmed during
fabrication for every chip, are unique and cannot be altered.

Standard Read Mode
After a Power-On-Reset and upon completion of a command, the chip will execute the Standard Read Mode, in which it will
send data continuously, word by word from the memory section defined between the First Word Read (FWR) and Last
Word Read (LWR). When the last word is output, the chip will continue with the first word until the transceiver sends a
request. If FWR and LWR are the same, the same word will be sent repetitively. The Listen Window (LIW) is generated
before each word to check if the transceiver is sending data. The LIW has a duration of 320 (160 opt 32) periods of the RF
field. FWR and LWR have to be programmed as valid addresses (FWR ≤ LWR and ≤ 33).
The words sent by the EM4450/4550 comprise 32 data bits and parity bits. The parity bits are not stored in the EEPROM,
but generated while the message is sent as described below. The parity is even for rows and columns, meaning that the
total number of "1's" is even (including the parity bit).

Receive Mode
To activate the Receive Mode, the Transceiver sends to the chip the RM pattern (while in the modulated phase of a Listen
Window LIW). The EM4450/4550 will stop sending data upon reception of a valid RM. The chip then expects a command.
The RM pattern consists of 2 bits "0" sent by the transceiver. The first bit "0" transmitted is to be detected during the 64 (32
opt 32) periods where the modulation is "ON" in LIW.

Selective Read Mode
The Selective Read Mode is used to read other data than that defined between FWR and LWR. To enter Selective Read
Mode, the Transceiver has to send during LIW a Receive mode pattern (RM) to turn the EM4450/4550 in Receive Mode.
Then the Selective Read Mode Command is sent by the transceiver followed by the First and Last addresses to be read.
The FWR and LWR are then replaced by the new addresses and the chip is operating in the same way as the Standard
Read Mode. The control word is not modified by this command, and the next standard read mode operation will work with
original FWR and LWR (Selected area is read once and then the chip returns to Standard Read Mode).
To read words which are Read Protected, a Login command has to be sent by the transceiver prior to the Selective Read
command. The Login command is to be used only once for all subsequent commands requiring a password.
The Selective Read mode command is followed by a single 32-bit word containing the new first and last addresses. Bits 0
to 7 correspond to the First Word Read and bits 8 to 15 correspond to the Last Word Read. Bits 16 to 31 have to be sent
but are not used in the chip. The parities must be sent according to the word organisation as described in fig.7. Note that
bit 31 is transmitted first.
To read the device Identification or the Serial Number, the Selective Read Command allows direct access to the Laser
programmed words. These words can also be addressed in the standard read mode by selecting the addresses
accordingly.

Login
The Login command is used to access protected memory areas. This command has to be used only once to perform
several password protected commands. The Power-On-Reset sequence and the Reset command will reset the password
entry, and a new Login command has to be received to perform further password protected operations.
Upon reception of a correct password, the EM4450/4550 will respond with an acknowledge pattern (ACK) and then
continue in Standard Read Mode. If the Login is correct then password protected operations are allowed. If the password is
incorrect, a NAK pattern is issued and password protected operations will not be possible (refer to Write Word for password
data structure).

If bit 16 of the control word is disabled (Password Check ON/OFF), the Login is still mandatory to modify the Protection
Word, the Control Word, and the Password, but not to write in the EEPROM which is not write inhibited. In order to modify a
write inhibited word, the Protection word has to be modified first. The Read protected area always requires the Login to be
read. If the Write Protection Word is write protected, the write protection configuration is locked.
Write Password
When a Write Password command is received, the chip next expects information on the actual valid password. The chip
sends back an ACK pattern if the password is correct. Then the chip expects the new password consisting of 32 bits +
parity bit to be stored in the EEPROM. The chip will respond with an ACK pattern for a correct reception of data upon
reception of the new password, and then will send another acknowledge pattern (ACK) to announce that the data is stored
in the EEPROM. The Read after Write function has no effect on this command. If the password is wrong or the transmission
is faulty, the chip will : send a NAK pattern; return to the Standard Read Mode; and, the password will remain the same.

Write Word
The Write mode allows modification of the EEPROM contents word by word. To modify address 1 (Protection word) and
address 2 (Control word), it is mandatory to first send a Login command in order to Log in (like in a computer). The new
written values will take effect only after performing a Reset command. It is strongly recommended to check the result of
modifying the contents of these addresses effecting the function of the chip. Address 0 (Password) cannot be modified with
this command but can be changed with the Write Password command.
Addresses 3 to 31 are programmable according to the defined protections. If the Password Check bit is off (bit 16 of control
word) and the word is not write inhibited, the selected word can be freely modified without password. If the Password Check
bit is on and the word is not write inhibited, the selected word can be modified with a previous Login. In any case, if the
word is write inhibited, the protection word has to be changed before programming can occur.

The Write Word command is followed by the address and data. The address consists of a 9 bit block containing 8 data bits
and 1 even parity bit. Only 6 bits from the data section are used for the word addressing, and the first three bits sent must
be "0". The data consists of 4 times 9 bit blocks, each block consisting of 8 data bits and 1 associated even parity bit and
one additional block consisting of 8 column parity bits and "0" as stop bit (Refer to fig. 7)

After reception of the command, the address, and the data, the EM4450/4550 will check the parity, the write protection
status, the Login status, and also if the available power from the RF field is sufficient. If all the conditions are satisfied, an
acknowledge pattern (ACK) will be issued afterward and the EEPROM writing process will start. At the end of programming,
the chip will send an Acknowledge pattern (ACK). If at least one of the checks fails, the chip will issue a no acknowledge
pattern (NAK) instead of ACK and return to the Standard Read Mode. The Transceiver will keep the RF field permanently
"ON" during the whole writing process time.
The Read After Write function (bit 17 of Control word) controls the mode of operation following a write operation. When
"ON" the latest written word will be read out and output next to the ACK pattern and two Listen Windows (LIW-LIW) even if
the word is read protected. When "OFF", the ACK is followed immediately by a LIW-LIW and FWR. The last written word is
not output.
If a request from the transceiver to return in receive mode (RM) is generated during the LIW, another word can be written in.
Otherwise, the EM4450/4550 will return in the Standard Read Mode.

Power-On-Reset (POR)
When the EM4450/4550 with its attached coil enters an electromagnetic field, the built in AC/DC converter will supply the
chip. The DC voltage is monitored and a Reset signal is generated to initialise the logic. The contents of the Control word
and Protection word will be downloaded to enable the functions (INIT). The Power-On-Reset is also provided in order to
make sure that the chip will start issuing correct data. Hysteresis is provided to avoid improper operation at the limit level.

Lock All / Lock Memory Area
The EM4450/4550 can be converted to a Read Only chip or be configured to Read/Write and Read Only Areas by
programming the protection word. This configuration can be locked by write inhibiting the Write Protection Word. Great care
should be taken in doing this operation as there is no further possibility to change the Write Protection Word. The Control
Word can also be protected in the same way thus freezing the operation mode.
Clock Extractor
The Clock extractor will generate a system clock with a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the RF field. The
system clock is used by a sequencer to generate all internal timings.
Data Extractor
The transceiver generated field will be amplitude modulated to transmit data to the EM4450/4550. The Data extractor
demodulates the incoming signal to generate logic levels, and decodes the incoming data.
Modulator
The Data Modulator is driven by the serial data output from the memory which is Manchester encoded. The modulator will
draw a large current from both coil terminals, thus amplitude modulating the RF field according to the memory data.
AC/DC Converter and Voltage Limiter
The AC/DC converter is fully integrated on chip and will extract the power from the incident RF field. The internal DC
voltage will be clamped to avoid high internal DC voltage in strong RF fields.
Special Timings
The Processing Pause Time (tpp), Write Access Time (twa) and EEPROM Write Time (twee) are timings where the
EM4450/4550 is executing internal operations. During these pauses, the RF field will be influenced.

The EM4450/4550 uses different patterns to send status information to the transceiver. Their structure can not be confused
with a bit pattern sequence. These patterns are the Listen Window (LIW) to inform the transceiver that data can be
accepted, the Acknowledge (ACK) indicating proper communication and end of EEPROM write, and the No Acknowledge
(NAK) when something is wrong.
The LIW, due to its special structure, can be used to synchronize the transceiver during a read operation. The LIW is sent
before each word, and is sent twice before FWR.

Communication from the Transceiver to the Transponder (RECEIVE MODE)
The EM4450/4550 can be switched to the Receive Mode ONLY DURING A LISTEN WINDOW. The Transceiver is
synchronized with the incoming data from the transponder and expects a LIW before each word. During the phase where
the chip has its modulator "ON" (64/32 periods of RF [Opt64/Opt32] ), the transceiver has to send a bit "0". A certain phase
shift in the read path of the transceiver can be accepted due to the fact that when entering Receive Mode, the Transceiver
becomes the Master.
At reception of the first "0", the chip immediately stops the LIW sequence and then expects another bit "0" to activate the
receive mode. Once the EM4450/4550 has received the first bit "0", the transceiver is imposing the timing for
synchronisation.
The EM4450/4550 turns "ON" its modulator at the beginning of each frame of a bit period. To send a logic "1" bit, the
transceiver continues to send clocks without modulation. After half a bit period, the modulation device of the EM4450/4550
is turned "OFF" allowing recharge of the internal supply capacitor. To send a logic "0" bit, the transceiver stops sending
clocks (100% modulation) during the first half of a bit period. The transceiver must not turn "OFF" the field after 7/4 clocks of
the bit period (Opt64/Opt32). The field is stopped for the remaining first half of the bit period, and then turned "ON" again for
the second half of the bit period. The 32rd/16th clock (Opt64/Opt32) defines the end of the bit.
To ensure synchronisation between the transceiver and the transponder, a logic bit set to "0" has to be transmitted at
regular intervals. The RM pattern consists of two bits set to "0" thus allowing initial synchronisation. In addition, the chosen
data structure contains even parity bits which will not allow more than eight consecutive bits set to logic "1" where no
modulation occurs.

While the transceiver is sending data to the transponder, two different modulations will be observed on both coils. During
the first half of the bit period, the EM4450/4550 is switching "ON" its modulation device causing a modulation of the RF field.
This modulation can also be observed on the transceiver's coil. The transceiver sending a bit "0" will switch "OFF" the field,
causing a 100% modulation being observed on the transponder coil.
