Description
The TK5561A-PP is a complete transponder integrating all important functions for
immobilizer and identification systems. It consists of a plastic cube which accommodates the crypto IDIC e5561A and the antenna realized as tuned LC-circuit. The
TK5561A-PP is a R/W crypto transponder for applications which demand higher security levels than those which standard R/W transponders can fulfil. For this reason, the
TK5561A-PP has an additional encryption algorithm block which enables a base station to authenticate the transponder. Any attempt to fake the base station with a wrong
transponder will be recognized immediately. For authentication, the base station transmits a challenge to the TK5561A-PP. This challenge is encrypted by both the IC and
the base station. Both should possess the same secret key. Only then can the results
be expected to be equal.
For detailed technical information about functions, configurations etc., please refer to
the e5561 data sheet.

TK5561A-PP

TK5561A-PP
GeneralThe transponder is the mobile part of the closed coupled identification system (see Fig-
ure 1), whereas the read/write base station is based on the U2270B or on discrete
solutions, and the read/write transponder is based on the e5561A IDIC.
The transponder is a plastic-cube device consisting of the following parts:
•The transponder antenna, with a tuned LC-circuit
•Read/write IDIC
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 to improve the read, write and programming operation distances.
(e5561A) with EEPROM
Read/Write Crypto
Identification
The e5561A is a member of the Atmel's contactless IDentification IC (IDIC) family,
which are used in applications where information has to be transmitted without contacts.
The IDIC is connected to a tuned LC circuit for power supply and bidirectional data communication (Read/Write) to a base station.
The on-chip non-volatile memory of the 320-bit EEPROM (10 blocks, 32 bits each) can
be read and written blockwise by a read/write base station, e.g. based on the U2270B.
Up to four blocks consisting of the user programmable ID code, the crypto key and configurations are stored in six blocks. The crypto key and the ID code can be individually
protected against overwriting.
The typical operational frequency of the TK5561A-PP is 125 kHz. Two data bit rates are
programmable: Rf/32 and Rf/64. During the reading operation the incoming RF field is
dampened bit-wise by an on-chip load. This AM-modulation is detected by the field generating base station unit. Data transmission starts after power-up with the transmission
of the ID code and continues as long as the TK5561A-PP is powered.
Writing is carried out by means of Atmel's patented writing method. To transmit data to
the TK5561A-PP the read/write base station has to interrupt the RF field for a short time
to create a field gap. The information is encoded in the number of clock cycles between
two subsequent gaps.
See the e5561A data sheet for detailed information of the IDIC.

Measurement
Assembly
All parameters are measured in a Helmholtz-arrangement, which generates a homogenous magnetic field (see Figure 5 and Figure 6). A function generator drives the field
generating coils, so the magnetic field can be varied in frequency and field strength.

Writing Data into the
TK5561A-PP
A write sequence of the TK5561A-PP is shown in Figure 7. Writing data into the transponder occurs by interrupting the RF field with short gaps. After the start gap the write
op-code (10) is transmitted. The next 32 bits contain the actual data. The last 4 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.

Start gap
Write mode
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 8. A valid 0 is
assumed if the number of counted clock periods is between 16 and 31, for a valid 1 it is
48 or 63 respectively. Any other value being detected results in an error and the device
exits write mode and returns to read mode.

Actual Device
Behavior
The TK5561A-PP detects a gap if the voltage across the coils decreases below a peakto-peak value of about 800 mV. Until then, the clock pulses are counted. The number
given for a valid 0 or 1 (see Figure 8) refers to the actual clock pulses counted by the
device. However, there are always more clock pulses being counted than were applied
by the base station. The reason for this is the fact that an RF field cannot be switched off
immediately. The coil voltage decreases exponentially. So although the RF field coming
from the base station is switched off, it takes some time until the voltage across the coils
reaches the threshold peak-to-peak value of about 800 mV and the device detects the
gap. Referring to the following diagram Figure 9, this means that the device uses the

Operating DistanceThe maximum distance between the base station and the TK5561A-PP depends mainly
on the base station, the coil geometries and the chosen modulation options. Typical distances are 0 to 3 cm. A general maximum distance value cannot be given. A convenient
way is to measure the TK5561A-PP within its environment. Rules for a correct base-station design can be provided upon request (see Antenna Design Guide).
