It contains 176 bits of user EEPROM, fabricated with STMicroelectronics CMOS technology. The memory is organized as 16 blocks of 16 bits, of which 11 blocks are user accessible. The SR176 is accessed via the 13.56MHz carrier. Incoming data are demodulated and decoded from the received Amplitude Shift Keying modulation signal (ASK). The modulation index of this signal is 10%. Outgoing data are generated by load variation using Bit Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) of a 847kHz subcarrier. The Data transfer rate between the SR176 and the reader is 106kbit/s in both reception and emission modes. The SR176 follows the ISO 14443 part 2 type B recommendation for radio frequency power and signal interface. Figure 2.

The SR176 does not include any anti-collision mechanism, but does include a simple selection mechanism to cope with cases where more than one tag is present, within the range of the Reader, at the any one time.

The device has an instruction set containing seven commands: s READ_BLOCK s s s s s s WRITE_BLOCK INITIATE SELECT COMPLETION PROTECT_BLOCK GET_PROTECTION. AC0 AI04995 The SR176 is principally designed for short range applications, such as in object identification, that The SR176 is divided into two major areas: the unique identifier (UID) and the User EEPROM. The UID is a 64-bit unique identifier written by ST during product manufacturing. The User EEPROM is divided into areas which can be write-protected so that they behave as ROM. The write protection is activated using an OTP lock bits register. It is possible to program the SR176 4-bit chip_ID used by the SELECT command. Its default value is fixed at the value 0 (0000 b) by ST. When correctly set, up to sixteen SRIX4Ks can be selected individually. 2/5 SR176 MEMORY MAPPING The SR176 is organized as 16 blocks of 16 bits, as shown in Figure 3. The first four blocks, from location 0 to 3, are used to store read-only data. They store the 64-bit UID. This value cannot be modified. Blocks from locations 4 to 14 offer a 176-bit EEPROM user area in which the application can store Figure 3.

Block 15 contains the OTP LOCK_REG and the programmed Chip_ID. The PROTECT_BLOCK command is used to lock write access to blocks 4 to 15 by a group of 2 blocks. The GET_PROTECTION command gives the status of the protection of blocks 4 to 15.
