ATA5551M-PPMY [DATASHEET] 9334B–RFID–05/14 1. Description The Atmel® ATA5551M-PPMY is a completely programmable R/W transponder which implements all important functions for identification systems, including anti-collision (e.g., 10 transponders in < 500ms depending on the application). It allows the contactless reading and writing of data which are transmitted bi-directionally between a read/write base station and the transponder. It is a plastic-packaged device which accommodates the IDIC e5551 and also the antenna realized as an LC- circuit. No additional external power supply is necessary for the transponder because it receives power from the RF field generated by the base station. Data are transmitted by modulating the amplitude of the RF field. The Atmel ATA5551M- PPMY can be used to adjust and modify the ID code or any other stored data, e.g., rolling code systems. The on-chip 264-bit EEPROM (8 blocks, 33 bits per block) can be read and written block wise from the base station. The blocks can be protected against overwriting. One block is reserved for setting the operation modes of the IC. Another block can obtain a password to prevent unauthorized writing. Figure 1-1. System Block Diagram 2. General The transponder is the mobile part of the closed coupled identification system (see Figure 4-1 on page 3), whereas the reader (writer) is based on an IC or on discrete solutions, and the read/write transponder is based on the Atmel IDIC e5551. The transponder is a plastic cube device consisting of the following parts:

  • The transponder antenna, realized as a tuned LC circuit
  • Read/write Atmel IDIC (e5551) with EEPROM 3. Transponder Antenna The antenna consists of a coil and a capacitor for tuning the circuit to the nominal carrier frequency of 125kHz. The coil has a ferrite core for improving the distance of read, write and programming operations.

3ATA5551M-PPMY [DATASHEET] 9334B–RFID–05/14 4. Read/Write IDIC e5551 The read/write Atmel IDIC e5551 is part of the transponder Atmel ATA5551M-PPMY. The data are transmitted bidirectionally between the base station and the transponder. The transponder receives power via a single coil from the RF signal generated by the base station. The single coil is connected to the chip and also serves as the IC’s bi-directional communication interface. Data are transmitted by modulating the amplitude of the RF signal. Reading of register contents occurs by damping the coil by an internal load. Writing into registers occurs by interrupting the RF field in a specific way. The Atmel ATA5551M-PPMY transponder operates at a nominal frequency of 125kHz. There are different bit rates and encoding schemes. The on-chip 264-bit EEPROM (8 block, 33 bits each) can be read and written block wise from the base station. The blocks can be protected against overwriting by using lock bits. One block is reserved for setting the operation modes of the IC. Another block contains a password to prevent unauthorized writing.

4.2 Atmel e5551 Building Blocks

4.2.1 Analog Front End (AFE)

The AFE includes all circuits which are directly connected to the coil. It generates the IC’s power supply and handles the bidirectional data communication with the reader unit. It consists of the following blocks:

  • Rectifier to generate a dc supply voltage from the ac coil voltage
  • Clock extractor
  • Switchable load between Coil1/ Coil2 for data transmission from the IC to the reader unit (read)
  • Field gap detector for data transmission from the reader unit into the IC (write)

4.2.2 Controller

The main controller has following functions:

  • Load mode register with configuration data from EEPROM block 0 after power-on and also during reading
  • Control memory access (read, write)
  • Handle write data transmission and the write error modes
  • The first two bits of the write data stream are the OPcode. There are two valid OP-codes (standard and stop) which are decoded by the controller.
  • In password mode, the 32 bits received after the OPcode are compared with the stored password in block 7.

4.2.3 Bitrate Generator

The bitrate generator can deliver the following bitrates: RF/8 - RF/16 - RF/32 - RF/40 - RF/50 - RF/64 - RF/100 - RF/128

4.2.4 Write Decoder

Decode the detected gaps during writing. Check if write data stream is valid.

4.2.5 Test Logic

Test circuitry allows rapid programming and verification of the IC during test.

4.2.6 HV Generator

4.2.8 Power-on Reset (POR)

The power-on reset is a delay reset which is triggered when supply voltage is applied.

4.2.9 Mode Register

The mode register stores the mode data from EEPROM block 0. It is continually refreshed at the start of every block. This increases the reliability of the device (if the originally loaded mode information is false, it will be corrected by subsequent refresh cycles).

4.2.10 Modulator

The modulator consists of several data encoders in two stages, which may be freely combined to obtain the desired modulation. The basic types of modulation are:

  • PSK: phase shift: 1) every change; 2) every ‘1’; 3) every rising edge (carrier: fc/2, fc/4 or fc/8)
  • FSK: 1) f1 = rf/8, f2 = rf/5; 2) f1 = rf/8, f2 = rf/10
  • Manchester: rising edge = H; falling edge = L
  • Biphase: every bit creates a change, a data ‘H’ creates an additional mid-bit change Note: The following modulation type combinations will not work:
  • Stage1 Manchester or biphase, stage2 PSK2, at any PSK carrier frequency (because the first stage output frequency is higher than the second stage strobe frequency)
  • Stage1 Manchester or biphase and stage2 PSK with bitrate = rf/8 and PSK carrier frequency = rf/8 (for the same reason as above)
  • Any stage1 option with any PSK for bitrates rf/50 or rf/100 if the PSK carrier frequency is not an integer multiple of the bitrate (e.g., br = rf/50, PSKcf = rf/4, because 50/4 = 12.5). This is because the PSK carrier frequency must maintain constant phase with respect to the bit clock.

4.2.11 Memory

The memory of the Atmel® e5551 is a 264 bit EEPROM, which is arranged in 8 blocks of 33 bits each. All 33 bits of a block, including the lock bit, are programmed simultaneously. The programming voltage is generated on-chip. Block 0 contains the mode data, which are not normally transmitted (see Figure 4-5). Block 1 to 6 are freely programmable. Block 7 may be used as a password. If password protection is not required, it may be used for user data. Bit 0 of every block is the lock bit for that block. Once locked, the block (including the lockbit itself) cannot be field- reprogrammed. Data from the memory is transmitted serially, starting with block 1, bit 1, up to block ‘MAXBLK’, bit 32. ‘MAXBLK’ is a mode parameter set by the user to a value between 0 and 7 (if maxblk=0, only block 0 will be transmitted).

4.3 Operating the Atmel e5551

4.3.1 General

The basic functions of the Atmel® e5551 are: supply IC from the coil, read data from the EEPROM to the reader, write data into the IC and program these data into the EEPROM. Several errors can be detected to protect the memory from being written with the wrong data (see Figure 4-21 on page 15).

4.3.2 Supply

The Atmel e5551 is supplied via a tuned LC circuit which is connected to the Coil 1 and Coil 2 pads. The incoming RF (actually a magnetic field) induces a current into the coil. The on-chip rectifier generates the dc supply voltage (VDD, VSS pads). Overvoltage protection prevents the IC from damage due to high-field strengths. Depending on the coil, the open- circuit voltage across the LC circuit can reach more than 100V. The first occurrence of RF triggers a power-on reset pulse, ensuring a defined start-up state.

4.3.3 Read

Reading is the default mode after power-on reset. It is done by switching a load between the coil pads on and off. This changes the current through the IC coil, which can be detected from the reader unit.

4.3.4 Start-up

The many different modes of the Atmel e5551 are activated after the first readout of block 0. The modulation is off while block 0 is read. After this set-up time of 256 field clock periods, modulation with the selected mode starts. Any field gap during this initialization will restart the complete sequence.

4.3.5 Read Datastream

The first block transmitted is block 1. When the last block is reached, reading restarts with block 1. Block 0, which contains mode data, is normally never transmitted. However, the mode register is continuously refreshed with the contents of EEPROM block 0. Figure 4-7. Application Circuit Figure 4-8.

ATA5551M-PPMY [DATASHEET] 9334B–RFID–05/14

4.3.6 Maxblock Feature

If it is not necessary to read all user data blocks; the MAXBLK field in block 0 can be used to limit the number of blocks read. For example, if MAXBLK = 5, the Atmel® e5551 repeatedly reads and transmits only blocks 1 to 5 (see Figure 4-10 on page 9). If MAXBLK is set to ‘0’, block 0 – which is normally not transmitted – can be read.

4.3.7 Terminators

The terminators are (optionally selectable) special damping patterns, which may be used to synchronize the reader. There are two types available; a block terminator which precedes every block, and a sequence terminator which always follows the last block. The sequence terminator consists of two consecutive block terminators. The terminators may be individually enabled with the mode bits ST (sequence terminator enable) or BT (block terminator enable). Note: It is not possible to include a sequence terminator in a transmission where MAXBLK = 0.

4.3.8 Direct Access

The direct access command allows the reading of an individual block by sending the OP-code (’10‘), the lock-bit and the 3-bit address. Note: PWD has to be 0.

4.3.9 Modulation and Bitrate

There are two modulator stages in the Atmel e5551 (see Figure 4-3 on page 5) whose mode can be selected using the appropriate bits in block 0 (MS1[1:0] and MS[2:0]). Also the bitrate can be selected using BR[2:0] in block 0. These options are described in detail in Figure 4-23 on page 17 through Figure 4-26 on page 20.

4.3.10 Anticollision Mode

When the AOR bit is set, the IC does not start modulation after loading configuration block 0. It waits for a valid AOR data stream (wake-up command) from the reader before modulation is enabled. The wake-up command consists of the OP-code (’10‘) following by a valid password. The IC will remain active until the RF field is turned off or a stop OP-code is received. Table 4-1. Atmel e5551 - Modes of Operation PWD AOR STOP Behavior of Tag after Reset/POR STOP Function 1 1 0 Anticollision mode:

  • Modulation starts after wake-up with a matching PWD
  • Programming needs valid PWD
  • AOR allows programing with read protection (no read after write) STOP OP-code (’11‘) defeats modulation until RF field is turned off 1 0 0 Password mode:
  • Modulation starts after reset
  • Programming needs valid PWD 0 1 0
  • Modulation starts after wake-up command
  • Programming with modulation defeat without previous wake-up possible
  • AOR allows programing with read protection (no read after write) 0 0 0
  • Modulation starts after reset
  • Direct access command
  • Programming without password x 0 1 See corresponding modes above STOP OP-code ignored, modulation continues until RF field is turned off

4.3.11 Writing Data into the Atmel ATA5551M-PPMY

Writing data into the IC occurs via the Atmel write method. It is based on interrupting the RF field with short gaps. The time between two gaps encodes the ‘0/1’ information to be transmitted. The write sequence of the Atmel® ATA5551M-PPMY is shown below. Writing data into the transponder occurs by interrupting the RF field with short gaps. After the start gap the standard write OP code (10) is followed by the lock bit. The next 32 bits contain the actual data. The last three bits denote the destination block address. If the correct number of bits have been received, the actual data is programmed into the specified memory block. Figure 4-14. Write Protocol Figure 4-15. Signals during Writing The time elapsing between two detected gaps is used to encode the information. As soon as a gap is detected, a counter starts counting the number of field clock cycles until the next gap is detected. Depending on how many field clocks elapse, the data is regarded as “0” or “1”. The required number of field clocks is shown in Figure 4-16. A valid “0” is assumed if the number of counted clock periods is between 16 and 32, for a valid “1” it is 48 or 64 respectively. Any other value being detected results in an error, and the device exits write mode and returns to read mode. Figure 4-16.

13ATA5551M-PPMY [DATASHEET] 9334B–RFID–05/14 Figure 4-17. Atmel e5551 – OP-code Formats

4.3.12 Start Gap

The first gap is the start gap which triggers write mode. In write mode, the damping is permanently enabled which eases gap detection. The start gap may need to be longer than subsequent gaps in order to be detected reliably. A start gap will be detected at any time after block 0 has been read (field-on plus approximately 2 ms). Figure 4-18. Start of Writing

4.3.13 Decoder

The duration of the gaps is usually 50 to 150µs. The time between two gaps is nominally 24 field clocks for a ‘0’ and 56 field clocks for a ‘1’. When there is no gap for more than 64 field clocks after previous gap, the IDIC exits write mode; it starts with programming if the correct number of valid bits were received. If there is a gap fail - i.e., one or more of the intervals did represent not a valid ‘0’ or ‘1’ - the IC does not program, but enters read mode beginning with block 1, bit 1.

4.3.14 Writing Data into the Atmel e5551

The Atmel® e5551 expects a two bit OP-code first. There are two valid OP-codes (‘10’ and ‘11’). If the OP-code is invalid, the Atmel e5551 starts read mode beginning with block 1 after the last gap. The OP-code (‘10’) is followed by different information (see Figure 4-16 on page 12):

  • Standard writing needs the OP-code, the lock bit, the 32 data bits and the 3-bit block address.
  • Writing with usePWD set requires a valid password between OP-code and address/data bits.
  • In AOR mode with usePWD, OP-code and a valid password are necessary to enable modulation.
  • The STOP OP-code is used to silence the e5551 (disable damping until power is cycled). Note: The data bits are read in the same order as written.

ATA5551M-PPMY [DATASHEET] 9334B–RFID–05/14

4.3.15 STOP OP-Code

The STOP OP-code (‘11’) is used to stop modulation until a power-on reset occurs. This feature can be used to have a steady RF field where single transponders are collected one by one. Each IC is read and than disabled, so that it does not interfere with the next IC. Note: The STOP OP-code should contain only the two OP-code bits to disable the IC. Any additional data sent will not be ignored, and the IC will not stop modulation. Figure 4-19. OP-code Transmission

4.3.16 Password

When password mode is on (usePWD = 1), the first 32 bits after the OP-Code are regarded as the password. They are compared bit-by-bit with the contents of block 7, starting at bit 1. If the comparison fails, the IC will not program the memory, but restart in read mode at block 1 once writing has completed. Notes:

  • If PWD is not set, but the IC receives a write datastream containing any 32 bits in place of a password, the IC will enter programming mode.
  • In password mode, MAXBLK should be set to a value below 7 to prevent the password from being transmitted by the Atmel® e5551.
  • Every transmission of 2 OP-code bits, 32 password bits, one lock bit, 32 data bits and 3 address bits (= 70 bits) needs about 35 ms. Testing all 232 possible combinations (about 4.3 billion) takes about 40,000 h, or over four years. This is a sufficient password protection for a general-purpose IDIC. Figure 4-20.

4.3.17 Programming

When all necessary information has been written to the Atmel® e5551, programming may proceed. There is a 32-clock delay between the end of writing and the start of programming. During this time, Vpp - the EEPROM programming voltage - is measured and the lock bit for the block to be programmed is examined. Further, Vpp is continually monitored throughout the programming cycle. If at any time Vpp is too low, the chip enters read mode immediately. The programming time is 16 ms. After programming is done, the Atmel e5551 enters read mode, starting with the block just programmed. If either block or sequence terminators are enabled, the block is preceded by a block terminator. If the mode register (block 0) has been reprogrammed, the new mode will be activated after the just-programmed block has been transmitted using the previous mode.

4.3.18 Error Handling

Several error conditions can be detected to ensure that only valid bits are programmed into the EEPROM. There are two error types which lead to different actions.

4.3.19 Errors during Writing

There are four detectable errors which could occur during writing data into the Atmel e5551:

  • Wrong number of field clocks between two gaps
  • The OP-code is neither the standard OP-code (‘10’) nor the stop OP-code (‘11’)
  • Password mode is active but the password does not match the contents of block 7
  • The number of bits received is incorrect; valid bit counts are
  • Standard write 38 bits (PWD not set)
  • Password write 70 bits (PWD set)
  • AOR wake-up 34 bits
  • Stop command 2 bits If any of these four conditions are detected, the IC starts read mode immediately after leaving write mode. Reading starts with block 1. 16ms Write data into the IC Programming Read programming block (= block 0) Read next block with updated modes (e.g., new bitrate) VCoil 1 - Coil 2

ATA5551M-PPMY [DATASHEET] 9334B–RFID–05/14

4.3.20 Errors During Programming

If writing was successful, the following errors could prevent programming:

  • The lock bit of the addressed block is set
  • VPP is too low In these cases, programming stops immediately. The IC reverts to read mode, starting with the currently addressed block. Figure 4-22.
