® H4001 EM MICROELECTRONIC-MARIN SA READ-ONLY CONTACTLESS IDENTIFICATION DEVICE Features 64 bit memory array laser programmable Wide dynamic range due to on chip buffer capacitance & voltage limiter on chip. Full wave rectifier on chip Big modulation depth due to a low impedance modulation device 50'000 baud reading speed at 3 MHz Very small chip size convenient for implantation Unsensitive close to metal Large distance even without resonance capacitor No external buffer capacitance needed due to low power consumption Typical Operating Configuration COIL 1 L C H4001 COIL 2 Description The H4001 is a CMOS integrated circuit for use in transponders. The circuit is powered by an external coil placed in a magnetic field, and gets its clock from the same field via one of the coil terminals. The other coil terminal is affected by the modulator, turning on and off the modulation current in order to send back the 64 bits of information contained in a factory pre-programmed memory array. The programming of the chip is performed by laser fusing of polysilicon links in order to store a unique code on each chip. Typical value of inductance at 125 KHz is 2 mH The capacitor is adjusted to the resonance Fig. 1 Pin Assignment The serial output data string contains a 9 bits header, 40 bits of data, 14 parity bits, and 1 stop bit. COIL 2 Due to the low power consumption of the logic core, no supply buffer capacitor is required. Only an external coil is required to obtain the chip function. A parallel capacitor adjusted with the coil to obtain resonnance, will increase the read distance.

Unless otherwise specified proper operation can only occur when all terminal voltages are kept within the supply voltage range. Unused inputs must always be tied to a defined logic voltage level.

Due to the data and parity organisation, this sequence can not be reproduced in the data string. The header is followed by 10 groups of 4 data bits and 1 even row parity bit. Then, the last group consists of 4 even column parity bits without row parity bit. Bits D00 to D03 and bits D10 to D13 are customer specific identification. These 64 bits are outputted serially in order to control the modulator used to modify the current at one of the coil terminals. When the 64 bits data string is outputted, the output sequence is repeated continuously until power goes off. 4 ® EM MICROELECTRONIC-MARIN SA H4001 Control Logic Two mask programmed versions of logic are available. The first one will modulate the amplitude of the magnetic field with a bit rate corresponding to 64 periods of the field frequency (Manchester coding). The second version is using half of the field frequency to transmit data by shifting the signal phase (PSK coding). One of the coil terminals (COIL1 in Fig.6) is used to generate the clock signal for the logic. The output of the clock extractor drives a sequencer providing all necessary signals to address the Memory Array, and serially output the data. PSK version The serial data output of the Memory array connects the modulation control to the output or inverted output of a flip-flop which input is the signal from the clock extractor. When a logic 0 is output, the modulation control signal is changed to the other output of the flip-flop, and when a logic 1 is output, the modulation control signal remains on the same flip-flop output. Data Modulator The data modulator is controlled by the signal Modulation Control (see above fig. 4 & 5) in order to induce a high current on COIL_2 terminal when this signal is at logic 0. This will affect the magnetic field according to the data stored in the Memory Array.
