1 Definitions
1.1 Objective of the Specifications
This specification lists the parameters to be fulfilled by the HITAG 2 chip module
HT2 MOA3 S20 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
HT2 MOA3 S20 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 2 chip module HT2 MOA3 S20 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 2 chip module.
1.3 Use of the Modules
The HITAG 2 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.

5.2 Operation Modes and Configuration
With the Configuration Byte the operation mode and the access rights to the memory can be
selected. During Power-Up of the transponder the Configuration Byte is read from the
transponder’s EEPROM.
If you change the configuration, keys or passwords, you have to place the transponder
directly on the antenna or hold it directly to it (0-distance)! In order to avoid any errors

environment without electrical no ise.
5.2.1 Modes of Operation
The HITAG 2 can be operated in several modes.
Crypto Mode:
Mode for writing or reading the transponder with encrypted data transmission.
Password Mode:
Mode for writing or reading the transponder with plain data transmission.
A password check is performed.
Public Mode A (Manchester):
Read only mode emulating Philips Semiconductors´ MIRO transponders resp. µEM H400x
transponders.
The 64 bits of the user Pages 4 and 5 are cyclically transmitted to the read/write device.
Public Mode B (Biphase):
Read only mode according to ISO standards 11784 and 11785 for ani mal identi fi cati on.
The 128 bits of the user Pages 4 to 7 are cyclically transmitted to the read/write device.
Public Mode C (Biphase):
Read only mode emulating the read operation of the PCF793X (with a slightly different Program
Mode Check).
In the Public Mode C the 128 bits of the user Pages 4 to 7 are cyclically transmitted to the
read/write device.

Specifications of the HT2 MOA3 S20Rev. 1.11997-08-19
5.2.2 Status Flow
After entering the RF-field the transponder waits for a command to start the authentication.
After issuing this command the mutual authentication takes place, followed by read- and write
commands.
In password mode the data transfer occurs plain, in crypto mode data are encrypted.
The halt mode can be entered for muting a transponder.
If the transponder is configured in one of the public modes, these modes are entered automatically
after a certain waiting time and data pages are sent cyclically to the read/write device.
By issuing the command to start the authentication during the waiting time also public mode
transponders can be brought into the authorized state.

5.4 Definition of Passwords and Keys
Keys are cryptographic codes, which determine data encryption during data transfer between
read/write device and transponder. They are used to select a HITAG 2 transponder in Crypto
Mode. The 16 bit KEY HIGH and 32 bit KEY LOW form one 48 bit key which has to be
identical on both the transponder and the read/write device.
Passwords are needed to select a HITAG 2 transponder in Password Mode. There is one pair of
passwor ds (Password T AG, Password RWD) w hich has to be identical both on t he transponder
and the read/write device.
Password TAG:Password that the transponder sends to the read/write device and which
may be verified by the latter (depending on the configuration of the
read/write device).
Password RWD:Password that the read/write device sends to the transponder and which is
checked for iden ti ty by the latter.
It is important t hat t he following values are in accordance with each other, i.e. t he respect ive data
on the read/write device and on the transponder have to be identical pairs.

7 Characterisation and Test of the Final Transponder

The parameters recommended to be characterised for the transponder are:

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.
