Analog Block (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Rectifier circuit Receives radio wave via the (external) antenna circuit and generates DC power for operating internal circuits with full-wave rectification. Shunt regulator Maintains the voltage generated by the rectifier circuit at a fixed voltage, 3.1 V (typ.). The digital circuits and E2PROM operate using the voltage supplied by the shunt regulator. The shunt regulator also protects internal circuits from the effects of strong electric fields. Carrier extraction circuit Shapes the PSK-processed received carrier in to a square wave which is then input to the logic circuits for demodulation. Oscillation circuit (OSC) Generates a clock for the digital PLL in the logic block. (Oscillation frequency range: 3 MHz~5 MHz) Transmission circuit (parallel transmitter circuit) Modulates the reply using a resistance load from the ANT1 side of the rectifier circuit. The reply carrier frequency is half the receive carrier frequency. At reply, the JT6N46S carries out modulation by halting all blocks except those needed for transmission and using all the power which would be dissipated by the halted blocks for reply. Voltage detector Supports three types of voltage detector circuit for initializing the system and enabling/disabling E2PROM writing. As a result, operation is always stable. 2. Digital Block (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Demodulator Converts the PSK signal shaped by the carrier extraction circuit of the analog block into binary data. Digital PLL Compares the frequency of the oscillator circuit in the analog block with the signal shaped by the carrier extraction circuit and generates a clock with a fixed frequency for operation of the entire digital block. Using the clock the internal LSI operates in synchronize with the carrier. Data processing Processes data according to the commands received. Processes include parity check, E2PROM write and read, and reset of the entire LSI. Security logic Two keys can be set simultaneously using the security area allocated to the E2PROM. Using the keys, write/read, read or no access can be set in units of 32-byte blocks (obtained by dividing E2PROM memory area by four). (For example, with key A, read/write for a particular block can be set, while with key B, read/write for any blocks can be set.) Status reply Replies to a command from the R/W consist of the status followed by data. The status represents, the internal status of the LSI to the R/W. If the LSI status is normal, status data 00H is inserted at the beginning (without any parity, start or end bits) followed by the data. If the LSI status is abnormal, no data follows and only the status indicating the abnormality is sent. The bit corresponding to each abnormality condition which has occurred is set to 1 in the status field. Multi-read Multi-read is a function used for reading multiple RFIDs in the communications area using the same reader/writer (R/W). An RFID (LSI) generates a random number internally using the Multi-Read command transmitted by the R/W. The RFID replies using the response timing determined by the corresponding time slot. Thus, replies from the different RFIDs will not conflict, enabling data to be received properly by the R/W. Note: Depending on the reading environment, the ability to read all the data may fluctuate . In some cases, some data may be left unread (since it cannot be undetected). Toshiba recommend the use of an additional chip with a detection function other than the multi-read function. 2000-07-21 5/7 JT6N46S Electrical Characteristics 1.

The LSI sends back the ATR data after receiving a reset command or self reset. Note 2: Using the keys at 02H and 03H, access privileges can be set for the 32-byte blocks (enclosed by bold lines) from 04H to 1FH. Note 3: Read is performed in units of 16 bytes from even-numbered addresses, 00H, 02H···0EH. 2 Note 4: Write to E PROM is performed in units of 8 bytes to addresses matching the page numbers above. The advantage of using this LSI is that it can be supplied as a single LSI for RFID allowing the user to configure peripherals (e.g. antennae, and reader/writers) so as to develop the desired system. However, because the peripheral environment may be highly user-specific, incompatibilities between the LSI and the user-configured environment (communications failures) may occur. Please carry out sufficient research before using this LSI. 2000-07-21 7/7
