1 KBit READ / WRITE
CONTACTLESS IDENTIFICATION DEVICE
Description
Features
The EM4150/EM4350 (previously named P4150/P4350)
is a CMOS integrated circuit intended for use in electronic
Read/Write RF Transponders. 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 EM4150 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 write to 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 represent periods of the carrier frequency emitted by the transciever 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 EM4150 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
EM4150 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 EM4150 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
Receive 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 EM4150 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).
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 EM4150 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.

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 EM4150 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.

Selective Read Mode cont.
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 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 EM4150 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. (Refer to Write Word for password data structure).

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)

Write Word (cont.)
After reception of the command, the address, and the data, the EM4150 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 EM4150 will return in the Standard Read Mode.

AC/DC Converter and Voltage Limiter
Power On Reset (POR)
When the EM4150 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.
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.
Resonance Capacitor
The Resonance Capacitor is integrated, and its tolerance
is adjusted to ± 2% over the whole production.

Lock All / Lock Memory Area
The EM4150 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.

Data Extractor
The transceiver generated field will be amplitude
modulated to transmit data to the EM4150. 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.

Communication from Transponder to the Transceiver ( READ MODE)
The EM4150 modulates the amplitude of the RF field to transmit data to the transceiver. Data are output serially from the
EEPROM and Manchester encoded.

The EM4150 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 EM4150 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 EM4150 has received the first bit "0", the transceiver is imposing the timing for synchronisation.
The EM4150 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 EM4150 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.

Communication from the Transceiver to the Transponder (RECEIVE MODE)
(cont.)
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 EM4150 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.
