SL3S1203 1213 UCODE G2iL and G2iL+ Rev. 4.4 17 March 2014 Product data sheet 178844 COMPANY PUBLIC 1. General description NXPs UCODE G2iL series transponder ICs offer leading-edge read range and support industry-first features such as a Tag Tamper Alarm, Data Transfer, Digital Switch, and advanced privacy-protection modes. Very high chip sensitivity (18 dBm) enables longer read ranges with simple, single-port antenna designs. When connected to a power supply, the READ as well as the WRITE range can be boosted to a sensitivity of 27 dBm. In fashion and retail the UCODE G2iL series improve read rates and provide for theft deterrence. For consumer electronics the UCODE G2iL series is suited for device configuration, activation, production control, and PCB tagging. In authentication applications the transponders can be used to protect brands and guard against counterfeiting. They can also be used to tag containers, electronic vehicles, airline baggage, and more. In addition to the EPC specifications the G2iL offers an integrated Product Status Flag (PSF) feature and read protection of the memory content. On top of the G2iL features the G2iL+ offers an integrated tag tamper alarm, RF field detection, digital switch, external supply mode, read range reduction and data transfer mode. 2. Features and benefits 2.1 Key features UHF RFID Gen2 tag chip according EPCglobal v1.2.0 with 128 bit EPC memory Memory read protection Integrated Product Status Flag (PSF) Tag tamper alarm RF field detection Digital switch Data transfer mode Real Read Range Reduction (Privacy Mode) External supply mode where both the READ & WRITE range are boosted to -27dBm 2.1.1 Memory 128-bit of EPC memory 64-bit Tag IDentifier (TID) including 32-bit factory locked unique serial number 32-bit kill password to permanently disable the tag 32-bit access password to allow a transition into the secured stateSL3S1203 1213 NXP Semiconductors UCODE G2iL and G2iL+ Data retention: 20 years Broad international operating frequency: from 840 MHz to 960 MHz Long read/write ranges due to extremely low power design Reliable operation of multiple tags due to advanced anti-collision READ protection WRITE Lock Wide specified temperature range: 40 C up to +85 C 2.2 Key benefits 2.2.1 End user benefit Prevention of unauthorized memory access through read protection Indication of tag tampering attempt by use of the tag tamper alarm feature Electronic device configuration and / or activation by the use of the digital switch / data transfer mode Theft deterrence supported by the PSF feature (PSF alarm or EPC code) Small label sizes, long read ranges due to high chip sensitivity Product identification through unalterable extended TID range, including a 32-bit serial number Reliable operation in dense reader and noisy environments through high interference suppression 2.2.2 Antenna design benefits High sensitivity enables small and cost efficient antenna designs Low Q-Value eases broad band antenna design for global usage 2.2.3 Label manufacturer benefit Consistent performance on different materials due to low Q-factor Ease of assembly and high assembly yields through large chip input capacitance Fast first WRITE of the EPC memory for fast label initialization 2.3 Custom commands PSF Alarm Built-in PSF (Product Status Flag), enables the UHF RFID tag to be used as EAS tag (Electronic Article Surveillance) tag without the need for a back-end data base. Read Protect Protects all memory content including CRC16 from unauthorized reading. ChangeConfig Configures the additional features of the chip like external supply mode, tamper alarm, digital switch, read range reduction or data transfer. The UCODE G2iL is equipped with a number of additional features and custom commands. Nevertheless, the chip is designed in a way standard EPCglobal READ/WRITE/ACCESS commands can be used to operate the features. No custom commands are needed to take advantage of all the features in case of unlocked EPC memory. SL3S1203 1213 All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers.
