contactless memory, powered by an externally transmitted radio wave. It contains 176 bits of user EEPROM, fabricated with STMicroelectronics CMOS technology. The memory is organized as 16 blocks of 16 bits, of which 11 blocks are user accessible. The SR176 is accessed via the 13.56 MHz carrier. Incoming data are demodulated and decoded from the received Amplitude Shift Keying modulation signal (ASK). The modulation index of this signal is 10%. Outgoing data are generated by load variation using Bit Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) of a 847.5 kHz subcarrier. The Data transfer rate between the SR176 and the reader is 106 Kbit/s in both reception and emission modes. The SR176 follows the ISO 14443-2 Type B recommendation for radio frequency power and signal interfacing. Figure 1. Pad connections SR176 Power Supply Regulator 176 bit USER EEPROM AC1 ASK Demodulator BPSK Load Modulator AC0 AI09057 The SR176 is principally designed for short range applications, such as object identification, that need a low cost and non-reusable tag. The SR176 does not include any anticollision mechanism. It provides an “addressed” selection mechanism to cope with cases where more than one tag is present within the range of the reader. Table 1. Signal names AC1 Antenna coil AC0 Antenna coil The SR176 contactless EEPROM offers read and write random access in block mode. One block is composed by 16 bits. The device has an instruction set containing seven commands: 6/35 ● READ_BLOCK ● WRITE_BLOCK ● INITIATE ● SELECT ● COMPLETION ● PROTECT_BLOCK ● GET_PROTECTION. SR176 Signal description The memory array of the SR176 is divided into two main areas: the unique identifier (UID) and the User EEPROM. The UID is a 64-bit unique identifier, written by ST during product manufacture. The User EEPROM is divided into areas which can be write-protected so that they behave as ROM. The write protection is activated using an OTP lock bits register. It is possible to program the SR176 4-bit chip_ID used by the SELECT command. Its default value is fixed at the value 0 (0000b) by ST. When correctly set, up to sixteen SR176 devices can be selected individually. Figure 2. Die floor plan AC0 AC1 AI09782 2 Signal description 2.0.1 AC1, AC0 AC1 and AC0 pads must be directly bonded to the antenna. 7/35 Data transfer SR176 3 Data transfer 3.1 Input data transfer from the Reader to the SR176 (request frame) The reader that accesses the SR176 must generate a 13.56 MHz sinusoidal carrier wave on its antenna, with enough energy to “tele-power” the SR176 device. The energy received on the SR176 antenna is transformed to a power supply voltage by a regulator, and to data bits through the ASK demodulator. To decode correctly the information sent to the SR176, the reader must use a 10% amplitude modulation of the 13.56 MHz wave, as represented (though not to scale) in Figure 3. The data transfer rate is 106 Kbit/second. Figure 3. Received wave using ASK modulation Data Bit Transmit to the SR176 13.5MHz 10% ASK Modulation Generated by the Reader One bit time is 1/106kHz AI09058 3.2 Character transmission format for request frame Data Bytes are transmitted and received by the SR176 as 10-bit characters, as shown in Figure 4, with the least significant bit (b0) transmitted first. These characters, with the addition of the Start Of Frame (SOF) and the End Of Frame (EOF), are grouped to form a Command Frame as shown in Figure 10. The frame includes an SOF, instructions, addresses, data, a CRC and an EOF as defined by ISO 14443-3 Type B. If an error is detected during the data transfer, no error frame is generated by the SR176, and the instruction is not executed. Each bit duration is referred to as an ETU (Elementary Time Unit). One ETU is equal to 9.44 µs (1/106 kHz). 3.3 Request start of frame The SOF, as shown in Figure 5, consists of: 8/35 ● one falling edge ● followed by 10 ETUs at logic 0 ● followed by one single rising edge ● followed by at least 2 ETUs (but no more than 3 ETUs) at logic 1. SR176 3.4 Data transfer Request end of frame The EOF, as shown in Figure 6, consists of: ● one falling edge ● followed by 10 ETUs set to logic 0 ● followed by one single rising edge Figure 4.

This modulation is achieved by modifying the SR176 current flow in its antenna. With appropriate detector circuitry, the reader is able to decode the information from the SR176. The data is transmitted using a BPSK coding of a 847.5 kHz subcarrier frequency, fS, as specified in ISO 14443-2 Type B, and as shown in Figure 7. 9/35 Data transfer 3.6 SR176 Character transmission format for answer frames The character format is the same as for the input data transfer (Figure 4). The transmitted frames include an SOF, data, a CRC and an EOF (as shown in Figure 10). Like the input data transfer, in case of error, the reader does not emit any error code to the SR176, but must be able to detect and manage this situation. The data transfer rate is 106 Kbit/second. 3.7 Answer start of frame The SOF, as shown in Figure 8, consists of: 3.8 ● 10 ETUs at logic 0 ● 2 ETUs at logic 1 Answer end of frame The EOF, as shown in Figure 9, consists of: ● 10 ETUs at logic 0 ● 2 ETUs at logic 1 Figure 7.

This delay allows the reader to switch from transmission to reception mode, and is applied after each frame. After t0, the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency is modulated by the SR176 at 847.5 kHz for a period of t1 = 128/fS, to allow the reader to synchronize. After t1, the first phase transition generated by the SR176 represent the start bit (‘0’) of the Answer SOF. After the falling edge of the Answer EOF, the reader has to wait for the minimum delay, t2, before sending a new Request Frame to the SR176. Figure 10.

For further information, see Appendix A. The initial register content is all ones: FFFFh. A two-byte CRC is appended to each Request and each Answer, within each frame, before the EOF. The CRC is calculated on all the Bytes after the SOF, up to the CRC field. On reception of a Request from a reader, the SR176 verifies that the CRC value is valid. If it is invalid, it discards the frame and does not answer the reader. On reception of an Answer from the SR176, it is recommended that the reader verify that the CRC value is valid. If it is invalid, that choice of actions that are to be performed are the responsibility of the reader designer. The CRC is transmitted least significant byte first. Each byte is transmitted least significant bit first. Figure 11.

The first four blocks, from location 0 to 3, are used to store read-only data. They store the 64-bit UID. This value cannot be modified. Blocks from locations 4 to 14 offer a 176-bit EEPROM user area in which the application can store its data values. Block 15 contains the OTP LOCK_REG and the programmed Chip_ID. The PROTECT_BLOCK command is used to lock write access to blocks 4 to 15 in groups of two blocks. The GET_PROTECTION command gives the status of the protection of blocks 4 to 15. Figure 12.

The UID is unique for each tag and cannot be altered. It is stored in a Read Only Memory area (ROM). In the SR176, the UID is stored in the first four blocks of the memory in blocks 0 to 3. 12/35 SR176 4.2 Memory mapping Device selection After introducing the device in the reader’s electromagnetic field, the SR176 has to be activated by a INITIATE command. After this command, the SR176 is in the ACTIVE state and waits for a SELECT command, as shown in Figure 13. The SELECT command specifies a 4-bit Chip_ID as a parameter. If the Chip-ID of the SR176 matches this parameter, the SR176 goes in the SELECTED state, and memory blocks become available for READ_BLOCK and WRITE_BLOCK commands up to the reception of a COMPLETION command. If the Chip_ID does not match, the SR176 returns to, or stays in, the DESELECTED state. Write access rights are activated by the SELECT command. After the Power On of the SR176, if the INITIATE command is not send or is not correctly generated, memory blocks will not be activated, and the SR176 will not respond to any command. 13/35 Device operations (instructions) 5 SR176 Device operations (instructions) All instructions, data and the CRC are transmitted to the SR176 in 10-bit character format using ASK modulation. The start bit (b0 of the 10 bits) is sent first. The command frame received by the SR176 on the antenna is demodulated by the 10% ASK demodulator, and is decoded by internal logic. Prior to any operation, the SR176 must have been previously activated by an INITIATE command (as shown in Figure 13). Each frame transmitted to the SR176 must start with a Start Of Frame, followed by one or more data characters, and is ended by two CRC bytes and the End Of Frame. When an invalid frame is decoded by the SR176 (because of a wrong instruction or CRC error), the memory does not send any error code. When a valid frame is received, the SR176 may have to send back data to the reader. For this, it sends 10-bit characters back, with SOF, CRC and EOF, using the BPSK coding. The transfer is ended by the SR176 sending the EOF. Figure 13.

All other commands sent to the SR176 before the INITIATE are ignored. In response to receiving the INITIATE command, the SR176 sends back its Chip_ID, using an 8-bit format (Figure 17). Upon receiving a valid INITIATE command, the SR176 switches to the ACTIVE state, where it will not answer to any new INITIATE command. Once In the ACTIVE state, the SR176 will remain in this state until it receives a valid SELECT command.

All other commands sent to the SR176 before the SELECT(), except INITIATE(), are ignored. In response to receiving the SELECT() command, the SR176 sends back its Chip_ID, using an 8-bit format (Figure 21). Any SR176 that is already in the SELECTED state, and which receives a SELECT() command that does not match its Chip_ID, is automatically put in the DESELECTED state. The SR176 stays in the SELECTED state up to the reception of a COMPLETION or a SELECT with a non-matching Chip_ID. After a PROTECT_BLOCK command, it is necessary to send a new SELECT command in order to load enable the write access again in the internal logic. If a SELECT is not send, the SR176 keeps the previous write access rights.

This allows a new SR176 to be activated by an INITIATE command, without needing to remove the previous ones. The SR176 does not generate any response when it executes a COMPLETION command (Figure 23). Prior to any COMPLETION command, the SR176 must have been put in the SELECTED mode by a SELECT command. A SR176 which was not selected does not interpret this command. Request parameters (Figure 22): ● none Figure 22.

The AD value of the four least significant bits of the address code, (X.AD) (b3 to b0) represents the block address to be read. For example, address 06h sends back the value of block 6. Prior to any READ_BLOCK command, the SR176 must have been set into the SELECTED state.

This is used for addressing each SR176 device uniquely after the anticollision loop. The UID complies with ISO/IEC 15963 and ISO/IEC 7816-6. It is a read-only code, and comprises (as summarized in Figure 28): ● an 8-bit prefix, with the most significant bits set to D0h ● an 8-bit IC Manufacturer code (ISO/IEC 7816-6/AM1) set to 02h (for STMicroelectronics) ● a 6-bit IC code set to 00 0010b = 2d for SR176 ● a 42-bit Unique Serial Number Figure 28. 64-bit unique identifier of the SR176 Most significant bits 63 55 47 41 D0h 02h 2d Least significant bits 0 Unique Serial Number AI14078 19/35 Device operations (instructions) 5.6 SR176 WRITE_BLOCK Command Code = 09h,(X.AD) Prior to any WRITE_BLOCK command, the SR176 must have been set into the SELECTED state. When executing the WRITE_BLOCK command, the SR176 overwrites the contents of the addressed block with the 16-bit value that was sent in the command, provided that the block is available and not write protected. The AD value of the four least significant bits of the address code (X.AD) (b3 to b0) represents the block address. For example, address 06h specifies that the data should be written in block 6. The SR176 does not generate any response when it executes a WRITE_BLOCK command (Figure 30). The reader must check after the programming time, tW, that the data bits were correctly programmed. Block addresses between 0 to 3 cannot be accessed using the WRITE_BLOCK command (the command has no effect on these blocks). Write access to block 15 is described in the section on the PROTECT_BLOCK command.

The PROTECT_BLOCK command allows the write access to be blocked to memory blocks 4 to 15. It must be followed by a SELECT() command. This re-initializes the write protection conditions to blocks 4 to 15. Until then, the new protection setting is not taken into account by the SR176 logic. The SR176 does not generate any response when it executes a PROTECT_BLOCK command (Figure 32). The reader must use the GET_PROTECTION command to get the information on the protection status. The OTP LOCK_REG controls the write-protection on blocks 4 to 15, and is, itself, OneTime Programmable. Each ‘1’ in the LOCK_REG parameter indicates that the corresponding bit in the OTP LOCK_REG should be set. Each ‘0’ indicates that the corresponding bit should be left unchanged. Once a bit in the OTP LOCK_REG has been set to ‘1’, it is not possible to reset it to ‘0’ and the corresponding memory blocks are forever write protected (and behaves like ROM).
