MLX90111 128bit read write transponder MLX90111 128bit read write transponder page 5 of 12 rev 1.12 5-feb-01 general description the MLX90111 is a 128bit read write transponder ic. the integrated tune capacitance and the external coil form a resonant lc antenna that absorbs part of the electromagnetic energy radiated by the transceiver lc antenna. physically, a magnetic coupling occurs between the transceiver, also referred to as "reader", and transponder antennas to amplitude modulate (am) the rf carrier, the transponder damps the electromagnetic field by switching a resistor in parallel with its coil. this way the transponder repetitively transmits its 128bit-identification code (id) to the transceiver, which recovers the envelope of the damped field, and decodes the id. the transceiver can send commands and data to the transponder by modulating the amplitude of the carrier. por level when the transponder is placed in an external radio frequency (rf) field of appropriate frequency and amplitude, the internal power supply (vdd) can build up as charge on the integrated buffer capacitance. the modulation resistor is switched on and off as soon as vdd has reached the power on reset (por) level. when the modulation resistor is switched on, the lc circuit is no longer tuned, therefore no energy is taken from the field, and vdd drops due to internal consumption. hence, by switching the modulation resistor on and off, it is possible to oscillate around the por level. this phenomenon is referred to as hiccuping. the modulation resistor is switched off when the transponder drops below the por level. sensitivity level the minimum electromagnetic force (e.m.f.) needed to avoid hiccuping is defined by vacsens. at this level the power supply will not drop below the por level while the modulation resistance is switched on during modulation. clock recovery the transponder takes its clock from the carrier frequency. depending on the speed option, the carrier frequency is divided by 32(4kbaud), 64(2kbaud) to generate the bit rate. demodulator if the external rf field is am modulated according to the asynchronous control pattern (acp), the transponder stops transmitting the id and enters the program mode. data is then sent to the transponder using return to one encoding. first half bit is low (0) or high (1), and the second half is high. in the middle of each half bit one sample is taken. in order for the transponder to detect the acp modulation a minimum modulation depth is required. see timing specification below for more details on the write protocol. rf limiter, or clamping the build up of voltage on the resonant lc circuit is limited to avoid damaging the internal circuit. modulator the modulator consists of a modulation resistor that is switched in parallel with the resonant lc circuit (antenna). because in weak rf fields the rising edge is much slower than the falling edge of the envelope, a symmetrically driven modulator would give an asymmetrical envelope. this is anticipated by delaying each falling edge by a fixed number of rf clock pulses. the modulator is hence driven asymmetrical. each on state is reduced by 8 (4) clocks in 2 (4) kbaud mode, and each off state is prolonged by the same amount. speed total clocks per bit clocks ?on? state clocks ?off? state 2kbaud 64 long on = 64 - 8 short on = 32 - 8 long on = 64 + 8 short on = 32 + 8 4kbaud 32 long on = 32 ? 4 short on = 16 ? 4 long on = 32 + 4 short on = 16 + 4
MLX90111 128bit read write transponder MLX90111 128bit read write transponder page 6 of 12 rev 1.12 5-feb-01 eeprom 1. memory organization the eeprom memory is arranged as 11 words of 16 bits each (see memory map above) . each one of these words is individually programmable. 1.1 id (addresses #0 to #7) the first 8 words hold the 128bits identification code (id). any of the 8 words of the id can be individually written. the complete 128bits id is send out when the device is in continuous/critical read mode. 1.2 write protect word (address #8) the 9 th word allows writing protect some words from the id temporarily or permanently, or even block the complete id: otp feature. bits 0 to 7 (wpw flags) lock (1) or unlock (0) the write access to the corresponding word in the id. the most significant byte (lock wpw) is ignored, except when written with a special pattern (01010101 -msb to lsb-). then it locks the wpw (#8), the tuning bits (#9) and the configuration word (#10). when writing ff55hex to the wpw word, then the transponder becomes an otp device. 1.3 tuning bits (address #9) the tune bits select the status of the tuning capacitors (1=on, 0=off). they can be written with command cmf2 at address 9 in the bit positions 14 to 10 (from the highest, 64 pf to the lowest, 4 pf). the tune bits can be read back at address 12 with command cmf1. as the tune bits do not overlap with the configuration bits they can be read together in word 12. programming is kept separate, to avoid reprogramming of the tune bits in case the code/speed is changed. the tune capacitance can be delivered tuned to an absolute value of 250pf +/-2%, leaving 5% tuning after assembly, or tuned for maximum tuning range after assembly. the latter solution can only be provided with an absolute value ranging between 200 and 300pf, but over full lot tuned to 2%. this offer is only valid for large volume orders (>100k pieces). following table shows the configuration of the tune caps in relation to the tune bits: tune bit nominal capacitor value (pf) t4 64 t3 32 t2 16 t1 8 t0 4 1.4 configuration word (address #10) speed bit (bit 0) defines the internal clock extraction: set to 1 for divided by 32, set to 0 for divided by 64. speed data rate baud rate 0 freq/64 2kbaud 1 freq/32 4kbaud code bit (bit 1) defines if the id will be encoded in manchester (set to 1) or biphase (set to 0) amplitude modulation scheme. code encoding 0 biphase 1 manchester

MLX90111 128bit read write transponder MLX90111 128bit read write transponder page 8 of 12 rev 1.12 5-feb-01 3 timing specification 3.1 asynchronous control pattern the asynchronous control pattern (acp) is sent by the reader to render the transponder silent (stop transmitting), and listen for a programming sequence. before starting the acp, the field must be stable at fhigh for at least 5 bit periods (tsetup). this guarantees that the reference level fthreshold is adjusted. the control pattern itself contains 4 transitions between high field fhigh and low field flow, each of which should be 2.5bitperiods apart. the threshold level fthreshold adjusts itself exponentially to the average fhigh over the last 20 periods (tclk). the optimum modulation depth forced by the reader depends on the application and stretches between: 90%> (fhigh-flow) / (fhigh+flow) > 20% the transponder samples the field 2 times per bit. a first time is after the first quarter, the second time after the third quarter. the sample values are only retained when the modulation resistor is off. the other samples are dropped. 3.2 synchronous command when the acp has been detected, the transponder modulation will be turned off, within maximum 6 bit periods after the last rising edge of the acp. the transponder will now synchronize on the first falling edge it sees. this edge is generated by a startbit (sb=0), which has to be sent within a timeout window twd. if no sb is detected the transponder will return to its original read mode. the sb may used to optimize the synchronization between tag and reader. tip: always try to put the sampling time of the transponder at the end of the first half bit. this minimizes the influence of an increased the transponder q at larger distance. however, if the modulated signal on the transponder takes several periods to drop, the sb may be extended with this time. this will shift the sampling moment forward. after this synchronisation step, a synchronous command can be sent from the base station. make sure to respect the nr of transponder clocks per bit, as specified below. all data sent by the reader have to be return- to-one encoded. 3.3 transponder action the command is verified on its parity and crc values after the full command has been received. if verification is successful the command will be executed during the next 32 bit periods. else if no valid command is received, due to a verification error, the transponder will immediately, i.e. 32 bit periods after the sb, start modulating its 128bit id code. 3.3 multiple commands after successfully receiving a command, the transponder will wait for a new command. this new timeout window (twd) starts after the 32 bit period it requires to execute the received command. to limit time skew between microcontroller and the transponder, a new synchronization is done before each new command. the transponder will start modulating its id code approximately 52 btiperiods after successfully having received its last command. 3.4 other timings see timing table below for an overview of all timings. all timings are bitperiod based, and are therefore related to the resonance frequency and datarate.
