1 Definitions
1.1 Objective of the Specifications
This specification lists the parameters to be fulfilled by the HITAG 1 chip module
HT1 MOA3 S30 for contactless smart cards or similar transponders (as e.g. discs).
1.2 Definition of the Chip Module
A chip module is an electronically packaged chip covered with a globe top cap. The
HT1 MOA3 S30 is above all used as card module, i.e. for further lamination into contactless
smart cards according to ISO 10536.1.
So the HIT AG 1 chip module HT1 MOA3 S30 is best suited for customers that do not want t o
spend time with micro assembly and therefore start - e.g. ISO card production - with the
HITAG 1 chip module.
1.3 Use of the Modules
The HITAG 1 modules are designed to be connected to a coil and then to be further processed by
packaging into a transponder (e.g. lamination into an ISO smart card). Specific processing
information for the coil-module connection and packaging is given in the specification.
For production of contactless chip cards it is recommended to prepunch card foils to create a
recess for the chip module in the card body.

5 Functional Description of HITAG 1
5.1 Memory Organization
The 2 kBit EEPROM memory on the transponder is divided into 16 blocks.
Every block consists of 4 pages. A page is the smallest access unit.
Every page consists of 4 bytes (at 8 bits).
Block access is only available for Blocks 2-15, page access is available for Pages 0-63.

Configuration of the memory is
done in the configuration page
Area s (or s etting s) with light d ark bac kgrou nd may be configur ed by the O EM client using t he
Configuration Page (Page 1).
Memory locations marked with "secret" can only be accessed after a mutual aut hentication. An
enciphered data communication is used in that area.
Memory locations marked with "public" can be accessed without mutual authentication, no
encryption is used.
Block 0 includes the unique serial number (programmed during the production process), the
Configuration Page (configuration of the memory area) and the keys, Block 1 includes the
logdata.
Ht1moa3.doc/HSPage 12 of 24
Page 13
Specifications of the HT1 MOA3 S30Rev. 1.11997-08-19
Blocks 4 to 7 can be used either as secret or public areas (configurable), and Blocks 2 to 7 either
as read / write or read only areas (configurable). You can also modify keys and logdata and
prevent them from being accessed.
Finally the Configuration Page itself can be set to read only.
It is extremely important to be particularly careful when using the Configuration Page (it
only can be set to read only once!), keys and logdata as you can lose access to the secret
area on the transponder in case of a mistake.
ATTENTION:
Changing of the Configuration Page (Page 1), Keys and Logdata must be done in secure
environment. The transponder must not be moved out of the communication field of the
antenna during programming! We recommend to put the transponder close to the antenna
(zero-distance) and not to remove it during programming.
5.2 Anticollision
Ant icollision M ode in long rang e applications inclu ding HIT AG 1 tr anspond ers permits you to
process several transponders simultaneously. Theoretically up to 232 transponders can be
pr oce s s e d s imu ltan o usly. I n p r act ic e this n u mb e r is limited , because of the mutual influence of the
transponders - they detune each other, if there are too many too close to each other.
The currently used read/write device must also support full anticollisio n fe atu re (e .g. H TRM800).
For read/write devices without that feature only one transponder is handled even if there are
several transponders within the communication field of the antenna. In this case either no
communication takes place or the "stronger" or closer transponder takes over.
By muting a selected transponder (HALT Mode) another t ransponder that is to be found in the
communication field of the antenna can be recognized.

5.3 Operation Modes and Configuration
5.3.1 Modes of Operation
The HITAG 1 can be operated in two modes (Standard Protocol Mode, Advanced Protocol
Mode) that cannot be configured using the Configuration Page, but via special host commands.
Advan ced Protocol Mode is not avai lable f or HITAG 1 transponders based on ASIC HT1 ICS30 01x
(only available f or HITAG 1 transponders based on ASIC HT1 ICS30 02x) and uses, above all, an
additional Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for read operations.
5.3.2 Configuration
The Configuration Page consists of 4 Configuration Bytes, the first two bytes are used for
configuration, the other two bytes can be used freely.
The bitmaps in Configuration Bytes 0 and 1 determine the configuration of the memory, i.e. they
define which area is secret or public, read/write, read only, write only or neither read nor write.
You can allocate and write the Configuration Page until it is locked (Bit 4 of Configuration Byte
1 is set to ‘0’).
After that these bytes are read o nly bytes and the configuration of the transponder memory cannot
be changed any more.
ATTENTION: Once set to read only the Configuration Page cannot be changed back to
read/write again (transponder is hardware protected)!
Configuration Bytes 2 and 3: These two bytes, to o, are set to read only by the OEM Lock Bit
(Configuration Byte 1 / Bit 4 = ”0”). Co nsidering that fact you can use these two bytes freely.
They will not affect memory configuration.

Configuration Byte 0 / Bit 7:
Bit 7 = ‘1’: Logdata can be read and written to.
Bit 7 = ‘0’: Logdata cannot be accessed.
This bit can be set or reset until Bit 4 of Configuraion Byte 1 is set to ‘0’.
For further information on Logdata and Keys see chapter “Definition of Keys and Logdata“.
Configuration Byte 0 / Bit 6:
Bit 6 = ‘1’: Keys can only be written to.
Bit 6 = ‘0’: Keys cannot be accessed.
This bit can be set or reset until Bit 4 of Configuration Byte 1 is set to ‘0’.
For further information on Logdata and Keys see chapter “Definition of Keys and Logdata“.
Configuration Byte 0 / Bits 0 ... 5:
If one of these Configuration Bits is ‘1’, the corresponding block of the tr ansponder can be read
and written.
If the bit is set to ‘0’, the corresponding block can only be read.
Within one block the configuration is always identical, that means either all 4 pages are read/write
or all of them are read only.
These bits can be set or reset until Bit 4 of Configuration Byte 1 is set to ‘0’.

RECOMMENDATION:
Before delivering transponders to end users, the Configuration Page should be set t o read o nly
(Configuration Byte 1/Bit 4 = ‘0’).
5.5 Definition of Keys and Logdata
In order to be able to read dat a from the secret area o f a transponder, you have to carry out a
procedure called authentication. To do this you need special data (keys).
After transmitting the according command the authentication is automatically carried out by the
read/write device.
Keys are cryptographic codes, which determine data encryption during data transfer between
read/write device and transponder.
Two keys (Key A and Key B) which you can use independently of each other, have been installed
fo r security an d fle xib ility rea s ons. The ide n tity o f e ither K e y A o r Key B on t he read/writ e dev ic e
and on the transponder is sufficient.
Logdata represent "passwo rds" needed to gain access to secr et areas on the tr ansponder. A pair
of logdata is included with every cryptographic key (Key A and Key B). T his logdata pair has t o
be identical both on the transponder and the read/write device.

For the measurement of these parameters we recommend to use the test equipment available from
SCEMTEC, Marienheide-Rodt, Germany (Transponder Measurement System STM-1).
This device also supports functional testing (besides parameter testing). Therefore it can also be
used as production test equipment for the final transponder test. For further information please
contact Scemtec GmbH.
7.2 Final Test of the Transponder
In addition to the equipment described in the previous chapter Philips Semiconductors offers a
device for a final functional test of transponders, the HITAGTM Test System HT OT490.
Parameter tests are not supportet by this device.
Basic flow for production and test:
1. Assembly of transponders
2. Functional test and final test of the EEPROM
Since the Keys and Logdata are changed during final test the Configuration and
personalization must take place after the final test. The final test is disabled (not reversible)
by setting the Tag-test mode bit to 0.
For the final test of transponders we recommend to use the
TM
HITAG
Test System HT OT490 of Philips Semiconductors or the
Transponder Measurement System STM-1 of Scemtec.
