SL3S4011 4021 UCODE IC Rev. 3.5 18 September 2018 Product data sheet 204935 COMPANY PUBLIC 1 General description The UHF EPCglobal Generation-2 standard allows the commercialized provision of mass adoption of UHF RFID technology for passive smart tags and labels. Main fields of applications are supply chain management and logistics for worldwide use with special consideration of European, US and Chinese frequencies to ensure that operating distances of several meters can be realized. The NXP Semiconductors UCODE product family is compliant to this EPC Gen2 standard offering anti-collision and collision arbitration functionality. This allows a reader to simultaneously operate multiple labels/tags within its antenna field. The UCODE-based label/ tag requires no external power supply for contactless operation. Its contactless interface generates the power supply via the antenna circuit by propagative energy transmission from the interrogator (reader), while the system clock is generated by an on-chip oscillator. Data transmitted from the interrogator to the label/tag is demodulated by the interface, and it also modulates the interrogator s electromagnetic field for data transmission from the label/tag to the interrogator. A label/tag can be then operated without the need for line of sight or battery, as long as it is connected to a dedicated antenna for the targeted frequency range. When the label/tag is within the interrogator s operating range, the high-speed wireless interface allows data transmission in both directions. 2 With the UCODE I C product, NXP Semiconductors introduces now the possibility to 2 combine 2 independent UHF Interfaces (following EPC Gen2 standard) with an I C interface. Its large memory can be then read or write via both interfaces. 2 This I C functionality enables the standard EPC Gen2 functionalities to be linked to an electronic device microprocessor. By linking the rich functionalities of the EPC Gen2 2 standards to the Electronics world, the UCODE I C product opens a whole new range of application. 2 2 The I C interface needs to be supplied externally and supports standard and fast I C modes. Its large memory is based on a field proven non-volatile memory technology commonly used in high-quality automotive applications. 2 Features and benefits 2.1 UHF interface Dual UHF antenna port -18 dBm READ sensitivity -11 dBm WRITE sensitivity -23 dBm READ and WRITE sensitivity with the chip poweredNXP Semiconductors SL3S4011 4021 UCODE IC Compliant to EPCglobal Radio-Frequency Identity Protocols Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID Protocol for communications at 860 MHz to 960 MHz version 1.2.0 Wide RF interface temperature range: -40 C up to +85 C Memory read protection Interrupt output 2 RF - I C bridge function based on SRAM memory 2 2.2 I C interface Supports Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) mode (see Ref. 1) 2 2 UCODE I C can be used as standard I C EEPROMs 2.3 Command set All mandatory EPC Gen2 v1.2.0 commands Optional commands: Access, Block Write (32 bit) Custom command: ChangeConfig 2.4 Memory 3328-bit user memory 160-bit EPC memory 96-bit tag identifier (TID) including 48-bit unique serial number 32-bit KILL password to permanently disable the tag 32-bit ACCESS password to allow a transition into the secured transmission state Encoding speed one word 5 ms Data retention: 20 years at 55 C Write endurance: 100 kcycles at 85 C 2.5 Package SOT-902-3 MO-255B footprint Outline 1.6 1.6 mm Thickness 0.5 mm 3 Applications Firmware downloads Return management Counterfeit protection and authentication Production information Theft protection and deterrence Production automation Device customization/product configuration Offline Diagnostics There are known limitations for applications where both interfaces are powered.
