RF transmitter and interrogator 128-Bit ReadOnly IDIC for RF Identification IDIC RF e5530 e5530 ID Description The e5530 is part of a closed coupled identification system. It receives power from an RF transmitter which is coupled inductively to the IDIC. The frequency is typically 100 to 450 kHz. Receiving RF, the IDIC responds with a data stream by damping the incoming RF via an internal load. This damping-in-turn can be detected by the interrogator. The identifying data are stored in a 128 bit PROM on the e5530, realized as an array of laser-programmable fuses. The logic block diagram for the e5530 is shown in figure 2. The data are output bit-serially as a code of length 128, 96, 64 or 32 bits. The chips are factory-programmed with a unique code. Block Diagram Figure 2.

A6, 10-Dec-01 e5530 Functional Description Read Operation After power up, once the e5530 has detected the incoming RF field, the IC continuously transmits the identification code as long as the RF signal is applied. The transition from the last bit to bit 1 of the next sequence occurs without interruption. Data is transmitted by damping the incoming RF signal by an internal load. This load changes are detected by the reader station. Different kinds of modulation and bitrates are optionally available. Rectifier For internal power supply, an on-chip bridge rectifier is used which consists of two diodes and two n-channel transistors. A Zener diode, which protects the circuit against overvoltage on the coil inputs, and a smoothing capacitor for the internal supply are also provided. Damping Load Incoming RF will be damped by the power consumption of the IC itself and by an internal load, which is controlled by the modulator. The loads are p-channel transistors connected between VDD and the coil inputs. The IDIC includes mask options for the load circuit: single-side, double-side and alternate-side modulation. There are four modulation methods available which can be selected by fuses. The corresponding timing diagram is shown in figure 5. FSK Modulation Logical data “1” and “0” are represented as two different frequencies of damping. The frequency for “1” is RF divided by 10, a “0” divides RF by 8. PSK Modulation The external coil is damped with a carrier frequency of RF/2. A logical “1” causes (at the end of the bit period) a 180° phase shift on the carrier frequency, while a logical “0” causes no phase shift. Biphase Modulation Logical “1” produces a signal which is the same as the internal bitclock. A logical “0” produces no signal change in the middle of the bit period. Manchester Modulation A logical “1” causes a rising edge in the middle of a bit period (i.e., switch damping off), while a logical “0” causes a falling edge (i.e., switch damping on). A combination of Biphase- and FSK-modulation is also optionally available. The available combinations between the modulation types and the bitrates are shown in table “Transmission Options”. Table 1.

Nevertheless, there are some general rules which influence the achievable reading distance. • Best results are accomplished when the transponder points towards the reader coil. • The transponder should not be embedded in metal, which will reduce the applicable magnetic field and thus the reading distance. • The strength of the generated magnetic field and the sensitivity of the demodulator are the most important factors for a good reading distance. Figure 6. Example for a 64-bit code E6 Header 00 00 00 10 2D 72 5D 56-bit ID code The identification code is transmitted continously. After the RF field is applied, the e5530H-232 starts with the first bit (MSB) of the header byte ’E6hex’ (’1110 0110’), followed by a unique 56-bit serial number. No checksum is included in this sample code. Pulsing the RF field may reduce the synchronization task as the first byte transmitted is known already (i.e., E6hex). This is even feasible, if the first bit may be lost due to reader synchronization problems. Customer ID Code Selection 4 (9) In general the customer may choose any ID code suitable to his application. To avoid code duplication, Atmel will define a fixed header – i.e, the first 8 bits of the code – for each customer. e5530 Rev. A6, 10-Dec-01 e5530 Modes of Operation Options For any new product variant, the customer has to select the following operation options which are configured in the laser ROM as well: • Bitrate, which is defined as field clocks per bit (e.g., RF/40 = 125 kHz/40 = 3.125 kBit/s) (see table “Transmission Options”) • Modulation method (see figure 5) • Code length: 32, 64, 96 or 128 bits For programming the ID code into the laser ROM, one of the following data has to be supplied: • ID code algorithm which is implemented in Atmels code management software (Atmel will generate the codes as requested) • Customer generated ID codes on floppy disk or per email/ftp. The format has to comply to the following rules: – – – – – – – – – – – The ID code file is a plain ASCII text file. The code files should be compressed. Please make self extracting files. The code files are used in alphabetical order of their file names (including letters and numbers). Used - i.e. programmed - code files are discarded. Each line of the code file must contain one ID code for one IC. The code is in hexadecimal format. The code may contain spaces for better readability. The code line is exactly as long as the selected code length (e.g. 64 bits 16 hex numbers). The line must end with a carriage return. The first 8 bits are fixe d, this is the unique customer header which is defined by Atmel. Each hexadecimal code entry must be preceded by a decimal serial number. Serial number and code must be separated by a space. The serial number has to be unique and is up-counting to avoid double programming. The series numbers of two consecutive files (file name!) has to count up too for proper linking. Figure 7.

A6, 10-Dec-01 Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement It is the policy of Atmel Germany GmbH to 1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements. 2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment. It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone depleting substances (ODSs). The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances. Atmel Germany GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents. 1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively 2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA 3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively. Atmel Germany GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain such substances. 8 (9) e5530 Rev.
