Description The ATA5577 is a contactless read/write identification IC (IDIC ) for applications in the 125-kHz or 134-kHz frequency band. A single coil connected to the chip serves as the IC’s power supply and bi-directional communication interface. The antenna and chip together form a transponder or tag. The on-chip 363-bit EEPROM (11 blocks with 33 bits each) can be read and written block-wise from a base station (reader). Data is transmitted from the IDIC (uplink) using load modulation. This is achieved by damping the RF field with a resistive load between the two terminals Coil 1 and Coil 2. The IC receives and decodes serial base station commands (downlink), which are encoded as 100% amplitude modulated (OOK) pulse-interval-encoded bit streams. A complete datasheet with further technical data is available on request. Please contact your local sales office. ® Preliminary NOTE: This is a summary document. The complete document is available.

The structure of the configuration register is identical. The two modes, Basic mode and Extended mode, are also available. The ATA5577 is able to replace the e5551/T5551 in most common operation modes. In all applications, the correct functionality of the replacements must be evaluated and proved. For further details, refer to Atmel®’s web site for product-relevant application notes. 3. System Block Diagram Figure 3-1.

It generates the IC's power supply and handles the bi-directional data communication with the reader. It consists of the following blocks: • Rectifier to generate a DC supply voltage from the AC coil voltage • Clock extractor • Switchable load between Coil 1 and Coil 2 for data transmission from the tag to the reader • Field-gap detector for data transmission from the base station to the tag • ESD-protection circuitry 4.2 Data-rate Generator The data rate is binary programmable to operate at any even-numbered data rate between RF/2 and RF/128 or to any of the fixed Basic mode data rates (RF/8, RF/16, RF/32, RF/40, RF/50, RF/64, RF/100 and RF/128). 4.3 Write Decoder The write decoder detects the write gaps and verifies the validity of the data stream according to the Atmel e555x downlink protocol (pulse interval encoding). 4.4 HV Generator This on-chip charge pump circuit generates the high voltage required to program the EEPROM. 4.5 DC Supply Power is externally supplied to the IDIC via the two coil connections. The IC rectifies and regulates this RF source and uses it to generate its supply voltage. 4.6 Power-On Reset (POR) The power-on reset circuit blocks the voltage supply to the IDIC until an acceptable voltage threshold has been reached. 4.7 Clock Extraction The clock extraction circuit uses the external RF signal as its internal clock source. 4.8 Controller The control logic module executes the following functions: • Load mode register with configuration data from EEPROM block 0 after power-on and during reading • Load option register with the settings for the analog front end stored in EEPROM page 1 block 3 after power-on and during reading • Control all EEPROM memory read/write access and data protection • Handles the downlink command decoding detecting protocol violations and error conditions 3 4967DS–RFID–10/08 4.9 Mode Register The mode register maintains a readable shadow copy of the configuration data held in block 0 of the EEPROM. It is continually refreshed during read mode and (re-)loaded after every POR event or reset command. On delivery, the mode register is pre-programmed with default values (see full version of the datasheet). 4.10 Modulator The modulator encodes the serialized EEPROM data for transmission to a tag reader or base station. Several types of modulation are available including Manchester, bi-phase, FSK, PSK, and NRZ. 4.11 Memory Figure 4-2. 0 L Page 1 1 1 L L L L Page 0 L L L L L Memory Map 1.........................................................................................32 Analog front end option set-up Traceability data Traceability data Page 0 configuration data User data or password User data User data User data User data User data User data Configuration data 32 bits Block 3 Block 2 Block 1 Block 0 Block 7 Block 6 Block 5 Block 4 Block 3 Block 2 Block 1 Block 0 Not transmitted The memory is a 363-bit EEPROM, which is arranged in 11 blocks of 33 bits each. Each block includes a single Lock bit, which is responsible for write-protecting the associated block. Programming takes place on a block basis, so a complete block (including lock bit) can be programmed with a single command. The memory is subdivided into two page areas. Page 0 contains 8 blocks and page 1 contains 4 blocks. All 33 bits of a block, including the lock bit, are programmed simultaneously. 4 ATA5577 [Preliminary] 4967DS–RFID–10/08 ATA5577 [Preliminary] Block 0 of page 0 contains the mode/configuration data, which is not transmitted during regular read operations. Addressing block 0 will always affect block 0 of page 0 regardless of the page selector. Block 7 of page 0 may be used as a write-protection password. Block 3 of page 1 contains the option register, which is not transmitted during regular-read operation. Bit 0 of every block is the lock bit for that block. Once locked, the block (including the lock bit itself) is not re-programmable via the RF field. Blocks 1 and 2 of page 1 contain traceability data and are transmitted with the modulation parameters defined in the configuration register after the opcode “11” is issued by the reader. The traceability data blocks are programmed and locked by Atmel. 5. Absolute Maximum Ratings Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
