The TK5552 is a complete programmable R/W
transponder which implements all important functions
for identification systems. It allows the contactless
reading (uplink) and writing (downlink) of data which are
transmitted bidirectionally between a read/ write
basestation and the transponder. It is a plastic-cube device
which accomodates the IDIC *) T ransponder IC 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 (uplink mode). The TK5552 can
be used to adjust and modify the ID-code or any other
stored data, e.g. rolling code systems. The on-chip
1056-Bit EEPROM (32 blocks, 33 bits per block) can be
read (uplink) and written (downlink) blockwise from the
base station. The blocks can be protected against
overwriting. One block is reserved for setting the

General
The transponder is the mobile part of the closed coupled
identification system (see figure 1), whereas the
read/ write base station is basing on the U2270B or other
solutions, and the read/ write transponder is basing on the
IDIC Transponder IC.
The transponder is a plastic-cube device consisting of
following parts:
D The transponder antenna, realized as tuned LC-circuit
D Read/ write IDIC (Transponder IC) with EEPROM
The Transponder Antenna
The antenna consists of a coil and a capacitor for tuning
the circuit to the nominal carrier frequency of 125 kHz.
The coil has a ferrite core for improving the distance of
read (uplink) and write (downlink) operations.
The Read/ Write IDIC
The read/ write IDIC Transponder IC is part of the transponder TK5552. 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 bidirectional communication interface.
Data are transmitted by modulating the amplitude of the
RF signal. Reading (uplink) occurs by damping the coil
by an internal load. Writing (downlink) occurs by
interrupting the RF field in a specific way. The TK5552
transponder operates at a nominal frequency of 125 kHz.
There are different bit rates and encoding schemes.
The on-chip 1056-bit EEPROM (32 block, 33 bits each)
can be read (uplink) and written (downlink) blockwise
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.
See Transponder IC data sheet in the appendix for more
detailed information of IDIC .

Downlink Operation
The write sequence (downlink mode) of the TK5552 is
shown below. Writing data into the transponder occurs by
interrupting the RF field with short gaps. After the start
gap the standard OP-code (11) is followed by the lockbit.
The next 32 bits contain the actual data. The last 5 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.
