EM MICROELECTRONIC - MARIN SA EM4069 EM4169 128 bit Read/Write Contactless Identification Device with OTP function Description EM4069 (previously named P4069) is a CMOS integrated circuit intended for use in electronic Read/Write RF transponders, with an optional lock function to disable EEPROM write operations. The IC is powered by picking the energy from a continuous 125 kHz magnetic field via an external coil, which together with the integrated capacitor form a resonant circuit. The IC read out data’s from its internal EEPROM or ROM and sends it out by switching on and off a resistive load in parallel to the coil. Commands and EEPROM data updates can be executed by AM modulation of the 125 kHz magnetic field. At power–up the EM4069 goes in default mode in which it constantly (without any pause) transmits 128 bits from the EEPROM. Upon transmission of a specific command, the 64 bits unique laser code is output. Additional commands for writing and lock data in EEPROM are available. The EM4169 (previously named P4169) is the same device but with large bumps (mega pads) as indicated on page 13 of this data sheet. All specified parameters and descriptions are applicable for the EM4169 device.

When it is placed in a magnetic field the DC internal voltage starts to increase. As long the power supply is lower than the power on reset (POR) threshold, the circuit is in reset mode to prevent unreliable operation. In this mode the modulator switch is off. After the supply voltage cross the POR threshold, the circuit goes in read mode and transmits periodically the 128 data bits from EEPROM. The power on reset is designed with a typically 250mV hysteresis. The specified value in the DC electrical characteristic table indicates the high level-switching threshold. Ones the supply voltage had reached this level, the device work in read mode and reenter in reset mode if the supply voltage decrease under the lower threshold (~VPOR – 250mV). In read mode the IC transmits periodically either the 128 data bits from EEPROM or 64 data bits from ROM if command 2 has been sent. The bits are Manchester or BIphase coded and issued by switching the modulator load in parallel to the coil ON and OFF. The read out process is repeated continuously without any pause as long as power level is greater than the POR threshold low. While the IC is operating in read mode it checks the coil signal once every bit period. If it detects a certain reader induced amplitude modulation of magnetic field it stops modulating and waits for a command word. In the case the EEPROM write command is detected the contents of selected EEPROM word is modified. Read ROM command will change the output sequence to the data provided by the laser ROM continuously. The Reset command returns to the initial mode as after a Power on Reset. VDD VPOR Hysteresis t Reset P4069 Active EM4069 Active t Fig. 4 Clock Extractor The Clock extractor will generate a system clock with a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the RF field. The system clock is used by a sequencer to generate all internal timings. Data Extractor The transceiver generated field will be amplitude modulated to transmit data to the EM4069. The Data extractor demodulates the incoming signal to generate logic levels, and decodes the incoming data. Modulator The Data Modulator is driven by the serial data output from the transceiver. The modulator will draw a large current from both coil terminals, thus amplitude modulating the RF field according to the selected memory data. Block description Power On Reset (POR) When the EM4069 with its attached coil enters an electromagnetic field, the built in AC/DC converter will supply the chip. The DC voltage is monitored and a Reset signal is generated to initialise the logic. The Power On Reset is also provided in order to make sure that the chip will start issuing correct data. Hysteresis is provided to avoid improper operation at the limit level. AC/DC Converter and Voltage Limiter The AC/DC converter is fully integrated on chip and will extract the power from the incident RF field. The internal DC voltage will be clamped to avoid high voltage in strong RF fields. Lock All / Lock Memory Area The EM4069 can be converted to a Read Only chip or be configured to Read/Write and Read Only Areas by programming the protection word. This configuration can be locked by write inhibiting the Write Protection Word. Great care should be taken in doing this operation as there is no further possibility to change the Write Protection Word. The Control Word can also be protected in the same way thus freezing the writing operation.

Manchester encoding One bit period lasts 64 (or 32) field frequency periods (512 (or 256) µs at 125 kHz). The Manchester coding shows a transition from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON in the middle of bit period. At the transition from logic bit “1” to logic bit “0” or logic bit “0” to logic bit “1” the phase change. Value "high" of data stream presented below represents modulator switch OFF, "low" represents switch ON (see figure 6a). Reset Command EEPROM Read Mode Sync-Pattern Command finished Bi-phase encoding Command State Fig. 5 Read Mode The EM4069 holds 128 bits of user EEPROM. These 128 bits are cyclically read out by default. Using the write command, the EEPROM words can be modified. The EEPROM contains an additional configuration word used to protect writing in the EEPROM One bit period lasts 64 (or 32) field frequency periods (512 (or 256) µs at 125 kHz). The BI-phase coding shows a transition from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON in the middle of a bit period when the data bit is a logical “0”. A logical bit set to “1” will keep its ON or OFF state for the whole bit period. There is always a transition from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON at the beginning of a bit period. The picture below shows part of a data stream. Value “high” of data stream represents modulator load OFF, “low” represents modulator load ON (see figure 6b).

EEPROM words are counted from 0 to 7. Bits in an EEPROM word are counted from 0 to 15. When EEPROM readout is initiated (after POR or after return from command to read mode) read out is started from word 0 and increments to word 7. Readout in a word is started by bit 0 and then increments up to bit 15. After word 7 bit 15 is read readout continues with word 0 bit 0 without any pause. So it is very important to organize data written in EEPROM in a way that reader can detect the position of bits in data stream. For Manchester encoding Word 0 and word 4 are factory programmed and locked (see figure 7a), for BI-phase encoding the 8 words are user free (see figure 7b and 7c). Following tables show how standard versions are factory programmed.

Command description The EM4069 operates in different modes. The default following a Power on Reset is Read EEPROM mode, and by means of different commands, the circuit can switch to the following modes : read access to ROM write access to 16 bits of EEPROM write access to configuration word read access to configuration word The reader has to generate the commands, which have to be decoded by the EM4069. Command Command 1 Command 2 Command 3 Command 4 Command 5 Command Short name rst rROM wr wcw rcw Bit pattern 1010 0000 1010 0101 1100.add.data.crc 1101 0011.prot.crc 1111 0000 Function Reset and return to EEPROM read READ 64 bit ROM WRITE 16 bit EEPROM word WRITE configuration word Read configuration word Commands rst, rROM and rcw affect readout. An eight-bit pattern has to be sent to execute them. Write commands are longer since associated address and data have to be sent. The leftmost bit in command bit pattern is transferred first. Command 1: Reset command During activation of the transponder a return to default mode is possible from any mode with the reset command. Command 2 : Read out of ROM 64 Bits After activation of command 2, the 64 bit ROM data will be read out cyclically. This mode will be active until power down or reset command. Command 3 : Write 16 Bit EEPROM word After activation of command 3, a 16-bit EEPROM word can be written. Data transmission will be secured by CRC check information, which has to be calculated by the reader and which will be checked by the EM4069. Command 4 : Write configuration word Command 4 has the same structure as command 3. The 16-bit configuration word is written by this command. A partial locking (write inhibit) of the 128 bit memory is possible in blocks of 16 bits (16 bit word becomes readonly). The bits of configuration word are OTP (one time programmable) so once a certain bit in configuration word is set it cannot be reset. Copyright  2003, EM Microelectronic-Marin SA 7 www.emmicroelectronic.com EM4069 EM4169 Command 5 : Read configuration word Read configuration word command is an auxiliary command used to read configuration word. This mode will be active until power down or reset command. The 8-bit CRC with polynomial u + u + u + u + u is used in commands 3 and 4. The CRC is calculated including the Command-Byte. 8 4 3 2 0 Write 16 bit EEPROM Word Command As described in the Command Table an 8-bit pattern has to be sent to execute commands rst, rROM and rcw. Bit pattern of Write Word command is different since word address, 16 bits of data and 8 bit CRC have to be transmitted. The Write command bit pattern is the following: 1100 [4 bit word address] [16 bit data] [8 bit CRC] CRC Calculation 8 U 76 MSB 2 U 5 3 U 4 4 U + Word address: One of eight EEPROM words is selected. Valid addresses are in range from 0 (0000) to 7 (0111) Data bits: During read out bit which is first sent in is first read out (FIFO) CRC: Calculated over whole command stream Example of Write Word command: C5 D2 2D 20 (hex) Fig. 9 + + 3210 LSB + + Exclusive OR Register Stage Data The following table shows the CRC according to some test bytes: The above command (1100 0101) write to • Word 5 • hexadecimal data “D2 2D” • CRC bits are hex 20. in Sync. wr Byte [hex] 01 80 Resulting CRC [hex] 1D 26 out Read tWee 1ms Read In test above it is supposed that the leftmost bit is the MSB and is transmitted first. Within 1ms after EEPROM update completion, a further command will be accepted by the EM4069 without a new synchronization pattern. After time-out of this period, the EM4069 will return to read out mode. Fig. 10 Write Configuration word Command Configuration word is a special word which is used to lock (protect from writing) EEPROM words. The bits of configuration word are OTP (once programmed at 1 they can not be reprogrammed to 0). Special care has to be taken when adding lock bits to the protection word that already has some bits set to one. The bits that are already set to one have to be confirmed at a new command in order to allow writing of additional bits. If not, bits that are already locked stay locked, and the new selected bits might not be programmed. Copyright  2003, EM Microelectronic-Marin SA 8 www.emmicroelectronic.com EM4069 EM4169 The bit pattern of the Write configuration word command is compatible to Write Word command: 1101 0011 [8 bits protecting 8 words] [8 bits don’t care] [8 bit CRC] 8 bits protecting 8 words: Bit first sent in is protecting word 0, the second bit protects word 1 and so on. 8 bits don’t care: Any 8-bit pattern, all 0 pattern is not suggested for power supply reasons. CRC has to be correct including also don’t care bits. Example of Write Configuration Word command: D3 02 55 2F (hex) The above command (1101 0011) will protect word 6 (0000 0010) from being written. in Sync. wcw When the synchronization pattern of modulation on magnetic field is detected (Command Envelope) the EM4069 waits for a Start Bit (SB). If the start bit is detected before tS3 time-out is expired, the Command Processing mode is entered. Eight command bits are serially entered. After the last bit was shifted, the 8-bit pattern is compared to one of the 5 possible commands. In the case one of the commands is recognized the appropriate action is performed otherwise the IC returns in Read mode. Detection of Command Envelope The Peak Detector performs the measurement once every bit period. The Peak Detector circuit compares the peak value of voltage on the coil to the internal voltage reference. The result of comparison is one bit of information, which tells to Control Logic whether the field is strong (HIGH field) or weak (LOW field). The Peak Detector circuit has a built-in hysteresis of typically 100mV which prevents unwanted Envelope detection in field strength which is at the level of the Detector threshold. out Read Read Detection of Start Bit (SB) and Command Word After the Synchronization pattern Envelope was detected, the EM4069 is sampling the incoming signal at a TRDB /8 rate. The start bit is accepted as valid when three consecutive samples are LOW. Duration of start bit (version 64 clocks/bit) and following command bits are expected to be 512 µs (same as one bit period in read mode). In the version 32 clocks/bit, the duration is 256 µs When the start bit is detected, the Control Logic starts switching Modulator load OFF and ON (First half of bit period OFF and second half of bit period ON) to assure enough power for operation of the IC. Samples of incoming bits are taken during the time the modulator load is ON (connected). The command, address, data and CRC bits are sent in non coded form (NRZ), reader induced high field (non modulated) corresponds to logic one, low field (modulated) to logic zero. tWee 1ms Fig. 11 If later on, word 1 has to be protected, the protection bit of already protected word 6 has to be set to logic 1 again. The new command will have to be sent with the following protection bits: 0100 0010. Read Configuration word Command To enter this command the IC has to be in default mode (read EEPROM bits). After execution of this command the IC will cyclically read 128 bits. 16 of them will represent the configuration word the rest is 0. It is suggested that don’t care bits of configuration word are programmed with some pattern which will be easy to recognize during read out. Command Timing for 8-bit command While IC is in Read mode it is sampling the peak level of coil voltage (during the time modulator switch is ON) once every bit period. The peak to peak value is compared with an internal reference in order to get a one-bit information (high field or low field). The measured level is compared with previous samples in order to detect whether there is a reader-induced modulation present on the magnetic field. Commands are accepted in the range where normal field (100% strength) is higher than internal reference (considered as high field) and modulated field is lower than internal reference (considered as low field). An 65% modulation on the reader signal is proposed (high field 100%, low field 20%). Copyright  2003, EM Microelectronic-Marin SA 9 www.emmicroelectronic.com EM4069 EM4169 Modulation of Magnetic Field The modulation envelope of the magnetic field induced by the reader is observed by the EM4069 as shown in the following figure. Synchronization pattern tS1 tS2 tS3 SB B0 B1 B2 tRDB B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 Fig. 12 Comment to above timings: tS1 : at least 4 samples of peak detector have to be HIGH. In worst case the distance between samples can be 2 bit periods. tS2 : at least one sample LOW. 2 bit periods + some security since the IC and R/W unit are not synchronized. Duration of 3 bit periods is suggested. tS3 : one sample high to enter Command Processing state defines lower limit. Watchdog timer defines higher limit (8 bits periods) Please note that during this time the Modulator load is permanently on so this is the worst case for Power Supply level. So using shorter times than upper limit is advised. Duration of 3 bit periods is suggested. Refer to table 4 for timings range. In the above example, the Read ROM command (1010 0101) is sent. After successful 8-bit command detection, the EM4069 will output continuously the ROM contents . Reset, Read ROM and Read Configuration Word commands After detecting these commands the IC returns in read mode and starts reading corresponding block (EEPROM or ROM). The IC treats the Write command as follows: First byte received is treated in the same way as for an 8bit command. In the case that the processing of the first byte detects a Write Word command, it first puts the modulator load OFF for 1/2 bit period. During this time, the antenna field is High (as stop bit is at logic one) so the internal power supply capacitor can be charged. Next the EM4069 transitions to Start Bit Detection State with modulator load ON and waits for start bit at logic 0. The time out value is 2 tRDB. If time out is reached before a start bit is detected, the IC then returns to the read mode. Normally the start bit comes already after 1 tRDB and the EM4069 then continues to process the next byte. After the fourth byte has been detected, the EM4069 verifies if the CRC check is OK and if the word, which is addressed for writing, is not protected by the configuration word. Next, power check is performed to determine whether there is enough power available to write EEPROM. This operation lasts 1.5-bit periods. In the case all conditions above are fulfilled (CRC, protection, power check) EEPROM is written. If one of the conditions fails, the EM4069 returns in read mode without writing EEPROM. Write Word commands and Write Configuration Word For Write commands, a total of 32 significant bits have to be transferred from reader to EM4069. The 32 bits are transferred in a sequence of 4 bytes. Each byte is headed with start bit at logic 0 (as in normal 8-bit command) and trailed with stop bit at logic 1. The antenna sends an uninterrupted sequence of 40 bits (32 command bits, 4 start bits and 4 stop bits). This data organization ensures re-synchronization of the EM4069 with the reader signal, and avoids that wrong data would be extracted due to missing or spurious clocks from the clock-extractor of the IC. Copyright  2003, EM Microelectronic-Marin SA 10 www.emmicroelectronic.com EM4069 EM4169 The Write Configuration word command procedure is the same as above, the only exception is that only CRC verification and power check are done. Writing to EEPROM lasts 20 ms. After successful writing of EEPROM the IC sends an acknowledge pattern to confirm the completion of writing. Acknowledge pattern consists of switching the modulator load ON and OFF with a signal period of 256 µs (Option 64 clocks/bit) or 128 µs (Option 32 clocks/bit) representing half a bit period (a quarter of bit period ON, a quarter of bit period OFF). Acknowledge pattern is transmitted during a time equivalent to two bit periods. Pulses of this length do not occur during data readout so the acknowledge pattern is easily recognizable. NRZ modulation is simple and leads to good results in proximity of the reader. To send a bit-1, the reader does not modulate the signal for a complete bit period, and to send a bit-0, it modulates the carrier frequency during a whole bit period. Long streams of zeros (in write command data sequence or CRC) reduce writing distance due to drop of supply voltage under POR level, due to the long time the carrier frequency is in LOW field mode. The writing distance can be improved by using RTO (return to one) modulation coding. Short burst of high field (approximately 1/4 of bit period) during transmission of a bit-0 to EM4069, recharge the on-board power supply buffer capacitor. To operate in this way, it is important to be synchronized with the sampling rate of the EM4069. Figure 14 shows the processing of hexadecimal data “96” in the write command string. The following signals are drawn : EM4069 : shows the modulator state. The “low” peak to peak value indicates that the modulator load is connected, and a “high” peak to peak value means that the modulator load is disconnected. Fig. 13 tRDB Acknowledge pattern tRDB After sending the acknowledge pattern the EM4069 transitions to the Start Bit Detection state and waits for the start bit of next command. In this way, several words can be written to EEPROM without returning in read mode after every write. The value of the timer is 2 tRDB. NRZ : Reader generated field. Low field is forced when sending a bit-0 and High field for a bit-1. The field is at the same level for the whole bit duration. RTO : Reader generated field as NRZ, with a burst of high field during 1/4 period for the transmission of a bit-0. At the beginning of timing diagram, the EM4069 is in start bit detection state, modulator load and peak detector are ON. When the start bit is detected, the logic transitions in command processing state. 3/8 to 1/2 of a bit period after beginning of start bit (T1), EM4069 starts putting the modulator load half bit period OFF and half bit period ON. The sample of field strength which gives to the logic the value of bit is taken at the end of ON period. Assuming that the start bit duration is 1 bit period, the following bit samples are taken 3/8 to 1/2 of bit period after start of each bit period. So during the last quarter of bit period the field can be put high to recharge the EM4069 on-board capacitor. The sampling point can be moved by changing the start bit duration. Disabling of Command Detection In certain cases the IC logic blocks the detection of the Synchronization pattern Envelope during one complete readout cycle of 128 bits. This is valid in the following cases : at power up (after POR) after a Reset command after a time out occurs in the Start Bit Detection state (only in the case the transition to Start Bit Detection state was done from Read mode) Details about command timing Command timing is based on NRZ (non-return to zero) modulation on the magnetic field (as shown in figure 11).
