1. General description
NXP’s UCODE 7 IC is the leading-edge EPC Gen2 RFID chip that offers best-in-class
performance and features for use in the most demanding RFID tagging applications.
Particularly well suited for inventory management application, like e.g Retail and Fashion,
with its leading edge RF performance for any given form factor, UCODE 7 enables long
read distance and fast inventory of dense RFID tag population. With its broadband design,
it offers the possibility to manufacture true global RFID label with best-in-class
performance over worldwide regulations.
The device also provides an automatic self pre-serialization feature for 96-bit EPC,
following the industry aligned Multi Vendor Chip-based serialization scheme, and a
Parallel encoding feature. For applications where the same 58-bit Stock Keeping Unit
(SKU) needs to be encoded on multiple tags, at the same time, a combination of both
features improves and simplifies the tag initialization process.
On top UCODE 7 offers a Tag Power Indicator for RFID tag initialization optimization and
a Product Status Flag for Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) application.

UCODE 7
 Product Status Flag bit: enables the UHF RFID tag to be used as EAS
(Electronic Article Surveillance) tag without the need for a back-end data base.
 Tag Power Indicator: enables the reader to select only ICs/tags that have enough
power to be written to.
 Parallel encoding: allows for the ability to bring (multiple) tag(s) quickly to the OPEN
state and hence allowing single tags to be identified simply, without timing restrictions,
or multiple tags to be e.g. written to at the same time, considerably reducing the
encoding process
All supported features of UCODE 7 can be activated using standard EPCglobal READ /
WRITE / ACCESS / SELECT commands. No custom commands are needed to take
advantage of all the features in case of unlocked EPC memory. The parallel encoding
feature may however require a firmware upgrade of the reader to use its full potential.

6. Block diagram
The SL3S1204 IC consists of three major blocks:
- Analog Interface
- Digital Control
- EEPROM
The analog part provides stable supply voltage and demodulates data received from the
reader which is then processed by the digital part. Further, the modulation transistor of the
analog part transmits data back to the reader.
The digital section includes the state machines, processes the protocol and handles
communication with the EEPROM, which contains the EPC and the user data.

10. Functional description
10.1 Air interface standards
The UCODE 7 fully supports all parts of the "Specification for RFID Air Interface
EPCglobal, EPC 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 7. The
antenna transforms the impedance of free space to the chip input impedance in order to
get the maximum possible power for the UCODE 7 on the tag.
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 that is attached to the chip may use a DC connection between the two
antenna pads. Therefore the UCODE 7 also enables loop antenna design.

10.3 Data transfer
10.3.1 Interrogator to tag Link
An interrogator transmits information to the UCODE 7 by modulating an UHF RF signal.
The UCODE 7 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.
An interrogator is using a fixed modulation and data rate for the duration of at least one
inventory round. It communicates to the UCODE 7 by modulating an RF carrier.
For further details refer to Ref. 1. Interrogator-to-tag (R=>T) communications.
10.3.2 Tag to interrogator Link
Upon transmitting a valid command an interrogator receives information from a UCODE 7
tag by transmitting an unmodulated RF carrier and listening for a backscattered reply. The
UCODE 7 backscatters by switching the reflection coefficient of its antenna between two
states in accordance with the data being sent. For further details refer to Ref. 1, chapter
6.3.1.3.
The UCODE 7 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 Supported commands
The UCODE 7 supports all mandatory EPCglobal V1.2.0 commands including
• Kill command
• (perma) LOCK command
In addition the UCODE7 supports the following optional commands:
• ACCESS
• Block Write (32 bit)

10.6 Supported features
The UCODE 7 is equipped with a number of additional features, which are implemented in
such a way that standard EPCglobal READ / WRITE / ACCESS / SELECT commands
can be used to operate these features.
The Configuration Word, as mentioned in the memory map, describes the additional
features located at address 200h of the EPC memory.
Bit 14h of the TID indicates the existence of a Configuration Word. This flag will enable the
selection of configuration word enhanced transponders in mixed tag populations.
Please refer to Ref. 22 for additional reference.
10.6.1 UCODE 7 features control mechanism
The different features of the UCODE 7 can be activated / de-activated by addressing or
changing the content of the corresponding bit in the configuration word located at address
200h in the EPC memory bank (see Table 8). The de-activation of the action bit features
will only happen after chip reset.

• Permanent bits: permanently stored bits in the memory
Max. Backscatter Strength
PSF Alarm bit
The activation or the de-activation of the feature behind the permanent bits happens only
when attempting to write a “1” value to the related bit (value toggling) - writing “0” value
will have no effect.
If the feature is activated, the related bit will be read with a “1” value and, if de-activated,
with a “0” value.
The permanent bits can only be toggled by using standard EPC WRITE (not a BlockWrite)
if the EPC bank is unlocked or within the SECURED state if the EPC is locked. If the EPC
is perma locked, they cannot be changed.

UCODE 7
Action bits will trigger a certain action only if the pointer of the SELECT command exactly
matches the action-bit address (i.e. 202h or 204h), if the length=1 and if mask=1b
(no multiple trigger of actions possible within one single SELECT command).
After issuing a SELECT to any action bits an interrogator shall transmit CW for RTCal
Ref. 9 + 80 s before sending the next command.
If the truncate bit in the SELECT command is set to "1" the SELECT will be ignored.
A SELECT on action bits will not change the digital state of the chip.
The action bits can be triggered regardless if the EPC memory is unlocked, locked or
permalocked.
10.6.2 Backscatter strength reduction
The UCODE 7 features two levels of backscatter strengths. Per default maximum

UCODE 7
Description
In case the EPC length is set to be 96-bit, the EPC is by default self pre-serialized
following a 96-bit EPC serialization scheme according to the Multi Vendor Chip-based
serialization guideline (see Ref. 23), meaning the lower 38-bit will always contain 3 bits for
the manufacturer code (111 for NXP) and 35 bit serial number taken from the lower 35 bits
of the TID serial number (see Figure 6).
As long as the initial content of the lower 38-bit of the EPC is not changed, the EPC will
appear serialized. As soon as any of those 38 bits are written, the EPC will show the
written content.
Once the pre-serialization of the EPC is overwritten and the EPC is not locked, the self
pre-serialization can be re-activated by one of the following ways:
• Setting the 38-bit Serial number of the EPC to “0” (see Figure 6), or
• Erase sixth and fifth word of the EPC to “00 00h” and keep the content of the lower 6
bits of the fourth word of the EPC at its serialized content (see Figure 7).
The self pre-serialization only applies to an EPC length of 96 bits, which is the initial EPC
length settings of UCODE7.
Use cases and benefits
This automatic EPC serialization is meant to be able to guarantee a unique EPC number
for each tagged items even if the same Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) is used. By being
serialized by default, the encoding process of the tags with UCODE 7 gets simpler and
faster as it only needs to encode the SKU (58-bit header of the EPC).
10.6.4 Parallel encoding
Description
This feature of the UCODE 7 can be activated by the “Parallel encoding bit” in the
Configuration-Word located at (202h).
Upon issuing a EPC SELECT command on the “Parallel encoding bit”, in a population of
UCODE 7 tags, a subsequent QUERY brings all tags go the OPEN state with a specific
handle (“AAAAh”).
Once in the OPEN state, for example a WRITE command will apply to all tags in the
OPEN state (see Figure 9). This parallel encoding is considerably lowering the encoding
time compared to a standard implementation (see Figure 8).
The amount of tags that can be encoded at the same time will depend on the strength of
the reader signal. Since all tags will backscatter their ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK) response
at the same time, the reader will observe collision in the signal from the tags.

Illustration of Parallel encoding for 16-bit Write command
Use cases and benefits
Parallel encoding feature of UCODE 7 can enable ultra fast bulk encoding.
Taking in addition advantage of the pre-serialization scheme of UCODE 7, the same SKU
can be encoded in multiple tags as the EPC will be delivered pre-serialized already.
In the case of only one tag answering (like in printer encoding), this feature could be used
to save some overhead in commands to do direct EPC encoding after the handle reply.
Since this is a UCODE 7 specific feature the use of this features requires support on the
reader side.
10.6.5 Tag Power Indicator
Description
Upon a SELECT command on the “Tag Power Indicator”, located in the config word 204h,
an internal power check on the chip is performed to see if the power level is sufficient to
perform a WRITE command. The decision level is defined as nominal WRITE sensitivity
minus 1dB. In the case there is enough power, the SELECT command is matching and
non-matching if not enough power. The tag can then be singulated by the standard
inventory procedure.

Use cases and benefits
This feature gives the possibility to select only the tag(s) that receive enough power to be
written during e.g. printer encoding in a dense environment of tags even though the
reader may read more than one tag (see Figure 10 for illustration). The power level still
needs to be adjusted to transmit enough writing power to one tag only to do one tag
singulation.

10.6.6 Product Status Flag (PSF)
Description
The PSF is a general purpose bit located in the Configuration word at address 20Fh with a
value that can be freely changed.
Use cases and benefits
The PSF bit can be used as an EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) flag, quality checked
flag or similar.
In order to detect the tag with the PSF activated, a EPC SELECT command selecting the
PSF flag of the Configuration word can be used. In the following inventory round only PSF
enabled chips will reply their EPC number.
10.6.7 Single-slit antenna solution
Description
In UCODE 7 the test pads TP1 and TP2 are electrically disconnected meaning they are
not electrically active and can be safely short-circuited to the RF pads RF1 and RF2 (see
Figure 11).

Fig 11. Standard antenna design versus single-slit antenna
Uses cases and benefits
Using single-slit antenna enables easier assembly and antenna design. Inlay
manufacturer will only have to take care about one slit of the antenna instead of two in
case all pads need to be disconnected from each other.
Additionally single-slit antenna assembly and the related increased input capacitance (see
Table 11) can be used advantageously over the standard antenna design as additional
room for optimization to different antenna design.
