TheHITAGproximityreadermoduleHTRM440(seeFig.5)
is a part of a complete Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) system:
• Transponders
• Antenna
• Host system
• I/O functions
• Power supply.
7.1.1TRANSPONDERS
The HTRM440 communicates with HITAG 1 and HITAG 2
transponders. Software commands are used to switch
between the different transponder modes.
If several HITAG transponders arrive simultaneously
within the communication field of the antenna of a
HTRM440, the ‘stronger’ transponder (the nearer one)
takes over or - under special circumstances - no
communication takes place. If the transponders arrive into
the field one after the other, communication is established
with the first one, all the other transponders are ignored.
Nevertheless it is possible to mute transponders, so that
several HITAG transponders can be accessed
sequentially. This ensures that no two (or several) HITAG
transponders will ever be processed (above all written to!)
accidentally at the same time.
7.1.2ANTENNA
Capacitor C (see Fig.1) is used for tuning the antenna.
There is space reserved on the HTRM440 for tuning
capacitors to tune the antenna in case there is no tuning
capacitor used on the antenna itself.
7.1.3HOST SYSTEM
The connection to the host system (e.g. microcontroller
or PC) is a serial interface on RS232 level for data
transmission (version HTRM440/AIE). Optionally wired
interface drivers for CMOS (version HTRM440/BIE) and
RS485 (version HTRM440/CIE) are integrated on the
reader module.
7.1.4INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
Two lines of the HTRM440 are wired as inputs from e.g.
switches and two lines as outputs to drive LEDs. On the
PCB space is reserved to connect three LEDs as well as
to connect e.g. two switches.
7.1.5POWER SUPPLY
The HTRM440 must be supplied by an external DC power
supply (9 to 16 V).

7.2Reader module software
Software commands mentioned in this data sheet are fully
described in document
HTRM800 Family Interface Protocol Reader - Host”
7.3Reader module hardware
7.3.1CORE MODULE
The EEPROM on the core module HTCM400 (see Fig.1)
is used to store non-volatile data such as personalization
data, keys, passwords, configurations and status
information.
The microcontroller processes the protocol for the
communication between the transponders and the reader
module. The interface signals are converted in such a way
that HITAG 1 and HITAG 2 transponders are able to
process them and the outgoing signals from the
transponder are converted into interface-compatible
signals. The second essential microcontroller function is
its control function. The microcontroller activates and
deactivates the transmitter, switches thereceiver between
the modes for the different transponders reception and
selects the EEPROM.
The transmitter receives data from the microcontroller and
modulates the carrier.
The receiver demodulates the received data and passes
on the data to the microcontroller for further processing.
7.3.2INTERFACE MICROCONTROLLER TO HOST
The device communicates with the host
(e.g. microcontroller or PC) via a serial interface using a
baud rate of 9600 baud. Data transfer details are: 1 start
bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bit and the least
significant bit is sent first.
7.3.3VOLTAGE REGULATION FILTERING
Disturbances on the supply pins may reduce the
performance of the system. For that reason the supply
voltageis filtered but also to limitthe spurious emissions at
the supply connections caused by the digital parts of the
module.

Electromagnetic emissions comply with the guidelines in
FTZ 17 TR 2100 and ETS 300 683 and electromagnetic
immunity complies with the guidelines in ETS 300 683.
7.5Security considerations
DevelopingtheHTRM440specialconsiderationwasgiven
to aspects of security. The following items represent the
fundamental framework of the security concept:
• Cryptography
• Mutual authentication
• Password verification
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
7.5.1DATA STREAM BETWEEN READER MODULE AND
HITAG 1 TRANSPONDERS
All the commands and data transferred from the reader
module to the transponder are secured by Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC). This check is carried out on
the transponder.
Every data stream sent (commands, addresses, user
data) from the proximity reader module to the transponder
is first checked for data errors by the transponder by
means of an integrated 8-bit CRC generator and then
executed. Normally the transponder responds to each
data stream from the proximity reader module with an
acknowledgement signal or with a data block. The CRC is
formed over commands and addresses or the plain data
respectively and in case of crypto mode it is also
encrypted. The generator polynomial of the transponder
CRC generator reads: u8+u4+u3+u2+1 = 0x1D.
The CRC pre assignment is 0xFF.
Detailed instructions how to use and calculate CRC are
available at Philips in the following application note
“HT1 (resp. HT2) Transponder family, reliability and
integrity of data transmission”
7.5.2DATA STREAM BETWEEN READER MODULE AND
HITAG 2 TRANSPONDERS
Every command sent from the reader module to the
transponder is checked for data errors by the transponder.
.
7.4Postal approval
The postal approval can only be granted for final products,
not just for modules like the HTRM440. But the reader
module is designed in a way that it is possible to get the
postal approval for a system including the HTRM440.
2001 Oct 047
Standard commands transferred from the reader module
to the transponder are divided into two bit streams. The
second bit stream is generated by inverting the bits of the
first bit stream. This redundancy increases data security.

7.5.3CHECKING USER DATA
This check is carried out on the HTRM440.
Security of the data read from the transponder by the
reader module remains with the user for reasons of
flexibility. Therefore, you can choose flexible check sums
and store them in the transponder memory together with
the data. You can protect sensitive data better than less
sensitive data, thus permitting optimized operation times.
7.5.4DATA PRIVACY
The use of cryptography (stream cypher), mutual
authentication, and password verification prevents
monitoring and copying the data channel. Therefore, the
area of the transponder that only can be accessed
enciphered is called ‘secret area’.
To make use of cryptography for HITAG 1 transponders
you need:
• Keys to be used for initializing of the crypto block
• Logdata to be used for mutual authentication.
To make use of cryptography for HITAG 2 transponders
you need:
• A key which is used to initialize the crypto block using
HITAG 2 in crypto mode
• Passwords which are used for authentication for
HITAG 2 in password mode.
The transponders and the HTRM440 are provided with
identical transport keys and transport logdata so that you
can start operating them right away (see Table 1).
HTRM440 family
7.6Operating security
The following mechanisms ensure the operating security
of the HITAG system:
• Anticollission mode
• Monitoring the supply voltage
• Detection of antenna rupture and antenna short-circuit.
7.6.1ANTICOLLISION
In proximity reader applications using HITAG 1 or
HITAG 2 transponders, 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 transponder that is to be found in
the communication field of the antenna can be recognised.
7.6.2MONITORING THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The supply voltage is controlled by a watchdog circuit
which triggers a system reset if the supply voltage drops
below 4.75 V or if the microcontroller fails.
7.6.3DETECTION OF ANTENNA RUPTURE AND ANTENNA
SHORT
-CIRCUIT
TheHTRM440doesnotgetpermanentlydamagedincase
of an antenna rupture or a brief antenna short-circuit.
In order to offer our OEM clients high flexibility, the
configuration of the transponder memory, password, keys
and logdata can be changed. We strictly recommend to
rigorously restrict these possibilities for the end customers
(by setting the configuration page to read only, setting
password, keys and logdata to neither read nor write).
1. Modulation ratio depending on the distance between transponder and reader module.
2. Depending on antenna and type of transponder; three-wire cable, shielded.

10 APPLICATION INFORMATION
10.1Metallic environment, interferences
The communication range is impaired by metallic
environment and electromagnetic interferences
(e.g. monitors and keyboards). Therefore, you should
keep a distance of at least the antenna’s diameter to
metallic surfaces or loops as well as to electromagnetic
interferences. If this is not possible, you have to take
preventivemeasures such as using ferritesor shielding for
transponder and antenna.
10.2Distance between two antennas
In order to be able to operate two systems side by side
without negative influence on communication ranges, you
must place the antennas at a minimum distance of four
times the antenna diameter. If you place them at a closer
distance be sure to use suitable shielding or
synchronisation.
HTRM440 family
• Interference received by the antenna because of an
external noise source (e.g. monitor, keyboards); the
remedial measure is to remove the antenna from the
interfering area
• Connecting cables of the antenna changed by mistake
• Antenna is mounted in metal environment; the remedial
measureistomountanon-metal space keeper between
the antenna and the metal
• Antenna is not designed following the design
instructions
• Inductance of the antenna is too high
• Quality factor of the antenna is too high (Q > 40)
• Antenna current is too high
• Antenna voltage is too high.
10.3Possible sources of errors by connecting the
HTRM440
The following error list should be checked if any error
(e.g. readorwrite distances that do not reach the specified
values) occurs:
• Power supply cable not mounted correctly
• DC powersupply voltage not in thespecified range from
9to16V
• Serial interface not connected correctly
