C uses a two-wire serial interface, comprising a bidirectional data line and a clock line. The
devices carry a built-in 4-bit device type identifier code (1010) in accordance with the I
bus definition.
The device behaves as a slave in the I
by the serial clock. Read and Write operations are initiated by a Start condition, generated
by the bus master. The Start condition is followed by a device select code and Read/Write
bit (RW
When writing data to the memory, the device inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9
time, following the bus master’s 8-bit transmission. When data is read by the bus master, the
bus master acknowledges the receipt of the data byte in the same way. Data transfers are
terminated by a Stop condition after an Ack for Write, and after a NoAck for Read.
In the ISO15693/ISO18000-3 mode 1 RF mode, the M24LR64E-R is accessed via the
13.56 MHz carrier electromagnetic wave on which incoming data is demodulated from the
received signal amplitude modulation (ASK: amplitude shift keying). When connected to an
antenna, the operating power is derived from the RF energy and no external power supply is
required. The received ASK wave is 10% or 100% modulated with a data rate of 1.6 Kbit/s

using the 1/256 pulse coding mode or a data rate of 26 Kbit/s using the 1/4 pulse coding
mode.
Outgoing data is generated by the M24LR64E-R load variation using Manchester coding
with one or two subcarrier frequencies at 423 kHz and 484 kHz. Data is transferred from the
M24LR64E-R at 6.6 Kbit/s in low data rate mode and 26 Kbit/s in high data rate mode. The
M24LR64E-R supports the 53 Kbit/s fast mode in high data rate mode using one subcarrier
frequency at 423 kHz.
The M24LR64E-R follows the ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 recommendation for
radio-frequency power and signal interface.
The M24LR64E-R provides an Energy harvesting mode on the analog output pin Vout.
When the Energy harvesting mode is activated, the M24LR64E-R can output the excess
energy coming from the RF field on the Vout analog pin. In case the RF field strength is
insufficient or when Energy harvesting mode is disabled, the analog output pin Vout goes
into high-Z state and Energy harvesting mode is automatically stopped.
The M24LR64E-R features a user configurable digital out pin RF WIP/BUSY that can be
used to drive a microcontroller interrupt input pin (available only when the M24LR64E-R is
correctly powered on the Vcc pin).
When configured in the RF write in progress mode (RF WIP mode), the RF WIP/BUSY pin is
driven low for the entire duration of the RF internal write operation. When configured in the
RF busy mode (RF BUSY mode), the RF WIP/BUSY pin is driven low for the entire duration
of the RF command progress.
The RF WIP/BUSY pin is an open drain output and must be connected to a pull-up resistor.

2 Signal descriptions
2.1 Serial clock (SCL)
This input signal is used to strobe all data in and out of the device. In applications where this
signal is used by slave devices to synchronize the bus to a slower clock, the bus master
must have an open drain output, and a pull-up resistor must be connected from Serial Clock
(SCL) to V
most applications, though, this method of synchronization is not employed, and so the pullup resistor is not necessary, provided that the bus master has a push-pull (rather than open
drain) output.
2.2 Serial data (SDA)
This bidirectional signal is used to transfer data in or out of the device. It is an open drain
output that may be wire-OR’ed with other open drain or open collector signals on the bus. A
pull-up resistor must be connected from Serial Data (SDA) to V
the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated).

2.3 RF Write in progress / RF Busy (RF WIP/BUSY)
This configurable output signal is used either to indicate that the M24LR64E-R is executing
an internal write cycle from the RF channel or that an RF command is in progress. RF WIP
and signals are available only when the M24LR64E-R is powered by the Vcc pin. It is an
open drain output and a pull-up resistor must be connected from RF WIP/BUSY to V
2.4 Energy harvesting analog output (Vout)
This analog output pin is used to deliver the analog voltage Vout available when the Energy
harvesting mode is enabled and the RF field strength is sufficient. When the Energy
harvesting mode is disabled or the RF field strength is not sufficient, the energy harvesting
analog voltage output Vout is in High-Z state.
2.5 Antenna coil (AC0, AC1)
These inputs are used to connect the device to an external coil exclusively. It is advised not
to connect any other DC or AC path to AC0 or AC1.
When correctly tuned, the coil is used to power and access the device using the ISO 15693
and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 protocols.

When the power supply is turned on, VCC rises from VSS to VCC. The VCC rise time must not
vary faster than 1V/µs.
2.7.3 Device reset in I²C mode
In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power-on reset (POR)
circuit is included. At power-up (continuous rise of V

3 User memory organization
The M24LR64E-R is divided into 16 sectors of 32 blocks of 32 bits, as shown in Ta bl e 5 .
Figure 6 shows the memory sector organization. Each sector can be individually read-
and/or write-protected using a specific password command. Read and write operations are
possible if the addressed data is not in a protected sector.
The M24LR64E-R also has a 64-bit block that is used to store the 64-bit unique identifier
(UID). The UID is compliant with the ISO 15963 description, and its value is used during the
anticollision sequence (Inventory). This block is not accessible by the user and its value is
written by ST on the production line.
The M24LR64E-R includes an AFI register that stores the application family identifier, and a
DSFID register that stores the data storage family identifier used in the anticollision
algorithm.
The M24LR64E-R has four 32-bit blocks that store an I
codes.
The M24LR64E-R user memory is divided into 16 sectors. Each sector contains 1024 bits.
20/140Doc ID 022712 Rev 3
The protection scheme is described in Section 4: System memory area.
In RF mode, a sector provides 32 blocks of 32 bits. Each read and write access is done by
block. Read and write block accesses are controlled by a Sector Security Status byte that
defines the access rights to the 32 blocks contained in the sector. If the sector is not
protected, a Write command updates the complete 32 bits of the selected block.
2
In I
C mode, a sector provides 128 bytes that can be individually accessed in Read and
Write modes. When protected by the corresponding I2C_Write_Lock bit, the entire sector is
write-protected. To access the user memory, the device select code used for any I
command must have the E2 Chip Enable address at 0.

4.1 M24LR64E-R block security in RF mode
The M24LR64E-R provides a special protection mechanism based on passwords. In RF
mode, each memory sector of the M24LR64E-R can be individually protected by one out of
three available passwords, and each sector can also have Read/Write access conditions
set.
Each memory sector of the M24LR64E-R is assigned with a Sector security status byte
including a Sector Lock bit, two Password Control bits and two Read/Write protection bits,
as shown in Ta bl e 7 .
Ta bl e 6 describes the organization of the Sector security status byte, which can be read
using the Read Single Block and Read Multiple Block commands with the Option_flag set
to 1.
On delivery, the default value of the SSS bytes is set to 00h.
When the Sector Lock bit is set to 1, for instance by issuing a Lock-sector command, the two
Read/Write protection bits (b
, b2) are used to set the Read/Write access of the sector as
1
described in Ta b le 8 .

The next two bits of the Sector security status byte (b3, b4) are the password control bits.
The value of these two bits is used to link a password to the sector, as defined in Ta bl e 9 .

The M24LR64E-R password protection is organized around a dedicated set of commands,
plus a system area of three password blocks where the password values are stored. This
system area is described in Ta bl e 1 0.
Table 10.Password system area
Add
1Password 1

The dedicated commands for protection in RF mode are:
●Write-sector password:
The Write-sector password command is used to write a 32-bit block into the password
system area. This command must be used to update password values. After the write
cycle, the new password value is automatically activated. It is possible to modify a
password value after issuing a valid Present-sector password command. On delivery,
the three default password values are set to 0000 0000h and are activated.
●Lock-sector:
The Lock-sector command is used to set the sector security status byte of the selected
sector. Bits b
to b1 of the sector security status byte are affected by the Lock-sector
4

System memory areaM24LR64E-R
command. The sector lock bit, b0, is set to 1 automatically. After issuing a Lock-sector
command, the protection settings of the selected sector are activated. The protection of
a locked block cannot be changed in RF mode. A Lock-sector command sent to a
locked sector returns an error code.
●Present-sector password:
The Present-sector password command is used to present one of the three passwords
to the M24LR64E-R in order to modify the access rights of all the memory sectors
linked to that password (Ta b le 8 ) including the password itself. If the presented
password is correct, the access rights remain activated until the tag is powered off or
until a new Present-sector password command is issued. If the presented password
value is not correct, all the access rights of all the memory sectors are deactivated.

4.2 M24LR64E-R block security in I²C mode (I2C_Write_Lock bit
area)
In the I2C mode only, it is possible to protect individual sectors against Write operations.
This feature is controlled by the I2C_Write_Lock bits stored in the 2 bytes of the
I2C_Write_Lock bit area. I2C_Write_Lock bit area starts from location 8192 (see Ta bl e 1 3 ).
To access the I2C_Write_Lock bit area, the device select code used for any I
must have the E2 Chip Enable address at 1.
Using these 16 bits, it is possible to write-protect all the 16 sectors of the M24LR64E-R
memory. Each bit controls the I

of the system area used to store the RF WIP/BUSY pin and the energy harvesting
configuration (see Ta b le 1 4 ).
The M24LR64E-R also offers an 8-bit volatile Control register located at I²C location 2336 of
the system area used to store the energy harvesting enable bit as well as a FIELD_ON bit

4.3.1 RF WIP/BUSY pin configuration
The M24LR64E-R features a configurable open drain output RF WIP/BUSY pin used to
provide RF activity information to an external device.
The RF WIP/BUSY pin functionality depends on the value of bit 3 of the Configuration byte.
●RF busy mode
When bit 3 of the Configuration byte is set to 0, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is configured in RF
busy mode.
The purpose of this mode is to indicate to the I²C bus master whether the M24LR64E-R is
busy in RF mode or not.
In this mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the RF command Start Of Frame (SOF)
until the end of the command execution.
If a bad RF command is received, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the RF command
SOF until the reception of the RF command CRC. Otherwise, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is in
high-Z state.
When tied to 0, the RF WIP/BUSY signal returns to High-Z state if the RF field is cut-off.
During the execution of I²C commands, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains in high-Z state.
●RF Write in progress
When bit 3 of the Configuration byte is set to 1, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is configured in RF
Write in progress mode.
The purpose of this mode is to indicate to the I²C bus master that some data has been
changed in RF mode.
In this mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 for the duration of an internal write operation
(i.e. between the end of a valid RF write command and the beginning of the RF answer).
During the execution of I²C write operations, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains in high-Z state.
4.3.2 Energy harvesting configuration
The M24LR64E-R features an Energy harvesting mode on the Vout analog output.
The general purpose of the Energy harvesting mode is to deliver a part of the non-
necessary RF power received by the M24LR64E-R on the AC0-AC1 RF input in order to
supply an external device. The current consumption on the analog voltage output Vout is
limited to ensure that the M24LR64E-R is correctly supplied during the powering of the
external device.

input exceeds the minimum required P

Delivery of Energy harvesting analog output voltage on the Vout pin depends on the value of
the EH_enable bit of the volatile Control register (see Tab le 1 5 ).
–When set to 1, the EH_enable bit enables the Energy harvesting mode, meaning
that the Vout analog output signal is delivered when the P

Ta bl e 1 26 ).
–When set to 0, the EH_enable bit disables the Energy harvesting mode and the

●Energy harvesting default mode control
At power-up, in I²C or RF mode, the EH_enable bit is updated according to the value of the
EH_mode bit stored in the non-volatile Configuration byte (see Ta bl e 1 6 ). In other words, the
EH_mode bit is used to configure whether the Energy harvesting mode is enabled or not by
default.

4.3.3 FIELD_ON indicator bit
The FIELD_ON indicator bit located as bit 1 of the Control register is a read-only bit used to
indicate when the RF power level delivered to the M24LR64E-R is sufficient to execute RF
commands.
●When FIELD_ON = 0, the M24LR64E-R is not able to execute any RF commands.
●When FIELD_ON =1, the M24LR64E-R is able to execute any RF commands.
Note:During read access to the Control register in RF mode, the FIELD_ON bit is always read
at 1.
4.3.4 Configuration byte access in I²C and RF modes
In I²C mode, read and write accesses to the non-volatile Configuration byte are always
allowed. To access the Configuration byte, the device select code used for any I²C
command must have the E2 Chip enable address at 1.
The dedicated commands to access the Configuration byte in RF mode are:
●Read configuration byte command (ReadCfg):
–The ReadCfg command is used to read the eight bits of the Configuration byte.
●Write energy harvesting configuration command (WriteEHCfg):
–The WriteEHCfg command is used to write the EH_mode, EH_cfg1 and EH_cfg0
–The WriteDOCfg command is used to write the RF WIP/BUSY bit into the
Configuration byte.
After any write access to the Configuration byte, the new configuration is automatically
applied.
4.3.5 Control register access in I²C or RF mode
In I²C mode, read and write accesses to the volatile Control register are always allowed. To
access the Control register, the device select code used for any I²C command must have the
E2 Chip enable address at 1.
The dedicated commands to access the Control register in RF mode are:
●Check energy harvesting enable bit command (CheckEHEn):
–The CheckEHEn command is used to read the eight bits of the Control register.
When it is run, the FIELD_ON bit is always read at 1.
●Set/reset energy harvesting enable bit command (SetRstEHEn):
–The SetRstEHEn command is used to set or reset the value of the EH_enable bit
into the Control register.

The device supports the I2C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 4. Any device that sends
data to the bus is defined as a transmitter, and any device that reads data is defined as a
receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is known as the bus master, and the
other as the slave device. A data transfer can only be initiated by the bus master, which also
provides the serial clock for synchronization. The M24LR64E-R device is a slave in all
communications.
5.1 Start condition
Start is identified by a falling edge of serial data (SDA) while the serial clock (SCL) is stable
in the high state. A Start condition must precede any data transfer command. The device
continuously monitors (except during a write cycle) the SDA and the SCL for a Start
condition, and does not respond unless one is given.
5.2 Stop condition
Stop is identified by a rising edge of serial data (SDA) while the serial clock (SCL) is stable
and driven high. A Stop condition terminates communication between the device and the
bus master. A Read command that is followed by NoAck can be followed by a Stop condition
to force the device into the Standby mode. A Stop condition at the end of a Write command
triggers the internal write cycle.
5.3 Acknowledge bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter,
whether a bus master or a slave device, releases the serial data (SDA) after sending eight
bits of data. During the 9

5.4 Data input
During data input, the device samples serial data (SDA) on the rising edge of the serial clock
(SCL). For correct device operation, the SDA must be stable during the rising edge of the
SCL, and the SDA signal must change only when the SCL is driven low.
5.5 I²C timeout
During the execution of an I²C operation, RF communications are not possible.
To prevent RF communication freezing due to inadvertent unterminated instructions sent to
the I²C bus, the M24LR64E-R features a timeout mechanism that automatically resets the
I²C logic block.

5.6 Memory addressing
To start a communication between the bus master and the slave device, the bus master
must initiate a Start condition. Following this, the bus master sends the device select code,
shown in Ta bl e 2 (on Serial Data (SDA), the most significant bit first).
The device select code consists of a 4-bit device type identifier and a 3-bit Chip Enable
“Address” (E2,1,1). To address the memory array, the 4-bit device type identifier is 1010b.
Refer to Ta bl e 2 .
The eighth bit is the Read/Write

5.7 Write operations
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW
address bytes. The device responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit, and
then waits for the data byte.
Writing to the memory may be inhibited if the I2C_Write_Lock bit = 1. A Write instruction
issued with the I2C_Write_Lock bit = 1 and with no I2C_Password presented does not
modify the memory contents, and the accompanying data bytes are not acknowledged, as
shown in Figure 8.
Each data byte in the memory has a 16-bit (two-byte wide) address. The most significant
byte (Ta bl e 3 ) is sent first, followed by the least significant byte (Tab le 4 ). Bits b15 to b0 form

Page 35
M24LR64E-RI2C device operation
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (in the tenthbit time slot), either at the end of a byte write or a page write, the internal write cycle is
triggered. A Stop condition at any other time slot does not trigger the internal write cycle.
After the Stop condition, the delay t
the device’s internal address counter is incremented automatically, to point to the next byte
address after the last one that was modified.
During the internal write cycle, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the
device does not respond to any requests.
5.8 Byte write
After the device select code and the address bytes, the bus master sends one data byte. If
the addressed location is write-protected by the I2C_Write_Lock bit (= 1), the device replies
with NoAck, and the location is not modified. If the addressed location is not write-protected,
the device replies with Ack. The bus master terminates the transfer by generating a Stop
condition, as shown in Figure 9.
5.9 Page write
The Page write mode allows up to four bytes to be written in a single write cycle, provided
that they are all located in the same “row” in the memory: that is, the most significant
memory address bits (b12-b2) are the same. If more bytes are sent than fit up to the end of
the row, a condition known as “roll-over” occurs. This should be avoided, as data starts to
become overwritten in an implementation-dependent way.
The bus master sends from one to four bytes of data, each of which is acknowledged by the
device if the I2C_Write_Lock bit = 0 or the I2C_Password was correctly presented. If the
I2C_Write_Lock_bit = 1 and the I2C_password are not presented, the contents of the
addressed memory location are not modified, and each data byte is followed by a NoAck.
After each byte is transferred, the internal byte address counter (inside the page) is
incremented. The transfer is terminated by the bus master generating a Stop condition.

5.11 Read operations
Read operations are performed independently of the state of the I2C_Write_Lock bit.
After the successful completion of a read operation, the device’s internal address counter is
incremented by one, to point to the next byte address.
5.12 Random Address Read
A dummy write is first performed to load the address into this address counter (as shown in
Figure 11) but without sending a Stop condition. Then, the bus master sends another Start
condition, and repeats the device select code, with the Read/Write
device acknowledges this, and outputs the contents of the addressed byte. The bus master
must not acknowledge the byte, and terminates the transfer with a Stop condition.

incremented. The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in
Figure 11, without acknowledging the byte.
bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges
5.14 Sequential Read
This operation can be used after a Current Address Read or a Random Address Read. The
bus master does acknowledge the data byte output, and sends additional clock pulses so
that the device continues to output the next byte in sequence. To terminate the stream of
bytes, the bus master must not acknowledge the last byte, and must generate a Stop
condition, as shown in Figure 11.
The output data comes from consecutive addresses, with the internal address counter
automatically incremented after each byte output. After the last memory address, the
address counter “rolls over”, and the device continues to output data from memory
address 00h.
5.15 Acknowledge in Read mode
For all Read commands, the device waits, after each byte read, for an acknowledgment
during the ninth bit time. If the bus master does not drive Serial Data (SDA) low during this
time, the device terminates the data transfer and switches to its Standby mode.

7 RF device operation
The M24LR64E-R is divided into 16 sectors of 32 blocks of 32 bits, as shown in Ta bl e 5 .
Each sector can be individually read- and/or write-protected using a specific lock or
password command.
Read and Write operations are possible if the addressed block is not protected. During a
Write, the 32 bits of the block are replaced by the new 32-bit value.
The M24LR64E-R also has a 64-bit block that is used to store the 64-bit unique identifier
(UID). The UID is compliant with the ISO 15963 description, and its value is used during the
anticollision sequence (Inventory). This block is not accessible by the user and its value is
written by ST on the production line.
The M24LR64E-R also includes an AFI register in which the application family identifier is
stored, and a DSFID register in which the data storage family identifier used in the
anticollision algorithm is stored.
The M24LR64E-R has three 32-bit blocks in which the password codes are stored and an 8bit Configuration byte in which the Energy harvesting mode and RF WIP/BUSY pin
configuration is stored.
7.1 RF communication and energy harvesting
As the current consumption can affect the AC signal delivered by the antenna, RF
communications with M24LR64E-R are not guaranteed during voltage delivery on the
energy harvesting analog output Vout.
RF communication can disturb and possibly stop Energy Harvesting mode.

RF device operationM24LR64E-R
7.3 Initial dialog for vicinity cards
The dialog between the vicinity coupling device or VCD (commonly the “RF reader”) and the
vicinity integrated circuit card or VICC (M24LR64E-R) takes place as follows:
●activation of the M24LR64E-R by the RF operating field of the VCD,
●transmission of a command by the VCD,
●transmission of a response by the M24LR64E-R.
These operations use the RF power transfer and communication signal interface described
below (see Power transfer, Frequency and Operating field). This technique is called RTF
(Reader talk first).
7.3.1 Power transfer
Power is transferred to the M24LR64E-R by radio frequency at 13.56 MHz via coupling
antennas in the M24LR64E-R and the VCD. The RF operating field of the VCD is
transformed on the M24LR64E-R antenna to an AC voltage which is rectified, filtered and
internally regulated.
During communications, the amplitude modulation (ASK) on this received signal is
demodulated by the ASK demodulator.
7.3.2 Frequency
The ISO 15693 standard defines the carrier frequency (fC) of the operating field as
13.56 MHz ±7 kHz.
7.3.3 Operating field
The M24LR64E-R operates continuously between the minimum and maximum values of the
electromagnetic field H defined in Table 124. The VCD has to generate a field within these
limits.

8 Communication signal from VCD to M24LR64E-R
Communications between the VCD and the M24LR64E-R take place using the modulation
principle of ASK (Amplitude shift keying). Two modulation indexes are used, 10% and 100%.
The M24LR64E-R decodes both. The VCD determines which index is used.
The modulation index is defined as [a – b]/[a + b], where a is the peak signal amplitude, and
b the minimum signal amplitude of the carrier frequency.
Depending on the choice made by the VCD, a “pause” is created as described in Figure 14
and Figure 15.
The M24LR64E-R is operational for the 100% modulation index or for any degree of
modulation index between 10% and 30% (see Ta bl e 1 2 4).

The data coding implemented in the M24LR64E-R uses pulse position modulation. Both
data coding modes that are described in the ISO15693 are supported by the M24LR64E-R.
The selection is made by the VCD and indicated to the M24LR64E-R within the start of
frame (SOF).

9.3 VCD to M24LR64E-R frames
Frames are delimited by a start of frame (SOF) and an end of frame (EOF). They are
implemented using code violation. Unused options are reserved for future use.
The M24LR64E-R is ready to receive a new command frame from the VCD 311.5 µs (t
after sending a response frame to the VCD.
The M24LR64E-R takes a power-up time of 0.1 ms after being activated by the powering
field. After this delay, the M24LR64E-R is ready to receive a command frame from the VCD.
9.4 Start of frame (SOF)
The SOF defines the data coding mode the VCD is to use for the following command frame.
The SOF sequence described in Figure 20 selects the 1 out of 256 data coding mode. The
SOF sequence described in Figure 21 selects the 1 out of 4 data coding mode. The EOF
sequence for either coding mode is described in Figure 22.

Communication signal from M24LR64E-R to VCDM24LR64E-R
10 Communication signal from M24LR64E-R to VCD
The M24LR64E-R has several modes defined for some parameters, so that it can operate in
various noise environments and meet various application requirements.
10.1 Load modulation
The M24LR64E-R is capable of communicating to the VCD via an inductive coupling area
whereby the carrier is loaded to generate a subcarrier with frequency f
generated by switching a load in the M24LR64E-R.
The load-modulated amplitude received on the VCD antenna must be of at least 10 mV
when measured, as described in the test methods defined in International Standard
ISO10373-7.
10.2 Subcarrier
The M24LR64E-R supports the one-subcarrier and two-subcarrier response formats. These
formats are selected by the VCD using the first bit in the protocol header. When one
subcarrier is used, the frequency f
When two subcarriers are used, the frequency f
is 484.28 kHz (f

10.3 Data rates
The M24LR64E-R can respond using the low or the high data rate format. The selection of
the data rate is made by the VCD using the second bit in the protocol header. For fast
commands, the selected data rate is multiplied by two. Ta b le 2 0 shows the different data
rates produced by the M24LR64E-R using the different response format combinations.

11 Bit representation and coding
Data bits are encoded using Manchester coding, according to the following schemes. For
the low data rate, same subcarrier frequency or frequencies is/are used. In this case, the
number of pulses is multiplied by 4 and all times increase by this factor. For the Fast
commands using one subcarrier, all pulse numbers and times are divided by 2.

14 Application family identifier (AFI)
The AFI (application family identifier) represents the type of application targeted by the VCD
and is used to identify, among all the M24LR64E-Rs present, only those that meet the
required application criteria.
Figure 47. M24LR64E-R decision tree for AFI
The AFI is programmed by the M24LR64E-R issuer (or purchaser) in the AFI register. Once
programmed and locked, it can no longer be modified.
The most significant nibble of the AFI is used to code one specific or all application families.
The least significant nibble of the AFI is used to code one specific or all application
subfamilies. Subfamily codes different from 0 are proprietary.

Data storage format identifier (DSFID)M24LR64E-R
15 Data storage format identifier (DSFID)
The data storage format identifier indicates how the data is structured in the M24LR64E-R
memory. The logical organization of data can be known instantly using the DSFID. It can be
programmed and locked using the Write DSFID and Lock DSFID commands.
15.1 CRC
The CRC used in the M24LR64E-R is calculated as per the definition in ISO/IEC 13239. The
initial register contents are all ones: “FFFF”.
The two-byte CRC is appended to each request and response, within each frame, before
the EOF. The CRC is calculated on all the bytes after the SOF up to the CRC field.
Upon reception of a request from the VCD, the M24LR64E-R verifies that the CRC value is
valid. If it is invalid, the M24LR64E-R discards the frame and does not answer the VCD.
Upon reception of a response from the M24LR64E-R, it is recommended that the VCD
verifies whether the CRC value is valid. If it is invalid, actions to be performed are left to the
discretion of the VCD designer.
The CRC is transmitted least significant byte first. Each byte is transmitted least significant
bit first.

M24LR64E-RM24LR64E-R protocol description
16 M24LR64E-R protocol description
The transmission protocol (or simply “the protocol”) defines the mechanism used to
exchange instructions and data between the VCD and the M24LR64E-R in both directions.
It is based on the concept of “VCD talks first”.
This means that an M24LR64E-R does not start transmitting unless it has received and
properly decoded an instruction sent by the VCD. The protocol is based on an exchange of:
●a request from the VCD to the M24LR64E-R,
●a response from the M24LR64E-R to the VCD.
Each request and each response are contained in a frame. The frame delimiters (SOF,
EOF) are described in Section 12.
Each request consists of:
●a request SOF (see Figure 20 and Figure 21),
●flags,
●a command code,
●parameters depending on the command,
●application data,
●a 2-byte CRC,
●a request EOF (see Figure 22).
Each response consists of:
●an answer SOF (see Figure 35 to Figure 40),
●flags,
●parameters depending on the command,
●application data,
●a 2-byte CRC,
●an answer EOF (see Figure 41 to Figure 46).
The protocol is bit-oriented. The number of bits transmitted in a frame is a multiple of eight
(8), that is an integer number of bytes.
A single-byte field is transmitted least significant bit (LSBit) first. A multiple-byte field is
transmitted least significant byte (LSByte) first and each byte is transmitted least significant
bit (LSBit) first.
The setting of the flags indicates the presence of the optional fields. When the flag is set (to
one), the field is present. When the flag is reset (to zero), the field is absent.

M24LR64E-RM24LR64E-R states
17 M24LR64E-R states
An M24LR64E-R can be in one of four states:
●Power-off
●Ready
●Quiet
●Selected
Transitions between these states are specified in Figure 49 and Ta bl e 2 5 .
17.1 Power-off state
The M24LR64E-R is in the Power-off state when it does not receive enough energy from the
VCD.
17.2 Ready state
The M24LR64E-R is in the Ready state when it receives enough energy from the VCD.
When in the Ready state, the M24LR64E-R answers any request where the Select_flag is
not set.
17.3 Quiet state
When in the Quiet state, the M24LR64E-R answers any request except for Inventory
requests with the Address_flag set.
17.4 Selected state
In the Selected state, the M24LR64E-R answers any request in all modes (see Section 18):
●Request in Select mode with the Select_flag set
●Request in Addressed mode if the UID matches
●Request in Non-Addressed mode as it is the mode for general requests

M24LR64E-RModes
18 Modes
The term “mode” refers to the mechanism used in a request to specify the set of
M24LR64E-Rs that answers the request.
18.1 Addressed mode
When the Address_flag is set to 1 (Addressed mode), the request contains the Unique ID
(UID) of the addressed M24LR64E-R.
Any M24LR64E-R that receives a request with the Address_flag set to 1 compares the
received Unique ID to its own. If it matches, then the M24LR64E-R executes the request (if
possible) and returns a response to the VCD as specified in the command description.
If the UID does not match, then it remains silent.
18.2 Non-addressed mode (general request)
When the Address_flag is cleared to 0 (Non-Addressed mode), the request does not contain
a Unique ID. Any M24LR64E-R receiving a request with the Address_flag cleared to 0
executes it and returns a response to the VCD as specified in the command description.
18.3 Select mode
When the Select_flag is set to 1 (Select mode), the request does not contain an M24LR64ER Unique ID. The M24LR64E-R in the Selected state that receives a request with the
Select_flag set to 1 executes it and returns a response to the VCD as specified in the
command description.
Only M24LR64E-Rs in the Selected state answer a request where the Select_flag is set to
1.
The system design ensures in theory that only one M24LR64E-R can be in the Select state
at a time.

AnticollisionM24LR64E-R
21 Anticollision
The purpose of the anticollision sequence is to inventory the M24LR64E-Rs present in the
VCD field using their unique ID (UID).
The VCD is the master of communications with one or several M24LR64E-Rs. It initiates an
M24LR64E-R communication by issuing the Inventory request.
The M24LR64E-R sends its response in the determined slot or does not respond.
21.1 Request parameters
When issuing the Inventory Command:
●The VCD sets the Nb_slots_flag as desired.
●The VCD adds the mask length and the mask value after the command field:
–The mask length is the number of significant bits of the mask value.
–The mask value is contained in an integer number of bytes. The mask length
indicates the number of significant bits. LSB is transmitted first.
●If the mask length is not a multiple of 8 (bits), as many 0-bits as required are added to
the mask value MSB, so that the mask value is contained in an integer number of
bytes.
●The next field starts at the next byte boundary.

M24LR64E-RExplanation of the possible cases
23 Explanation of the possible cases
Figure 51 summarizes the main possible cases that can occur during an anticollision
sequence when the number of slots is 16.
The sequence of steps is as follows:
●The VCD sends an Inventory request, in a frame terminated by an EOF. The number of
slots is 16.
●M24LR64E-R_1 transmits its response in Slot 0. It is the only one to do so, therefore no
collision occurs and its UID is received and registered by the VCD.
●The VCD sends an EOF in order to switch to the next slot.
●In Slot 1, two M24LR64E-Rs (M24LR64E-R_2 and M24LR64E-R_3) transmit a
response, thus generating a collision. The VCD records the event and registers that a
collision was detected in Slot 1.
●The VCD sends an EOF in order to switch to the next slot.
●In Slot 2, no M24LR64E-R transmits a response. Therefore the VCD does not detect
any M24LR64E-R SOF and switches to the next slot by sending an EOF.
●In Slot 3, another collision occurs due to responses from M24LR64E-R_4 and
M24LR64E-R_5.
●The VCD sends a request (for instance a Read Block) to M24LR64E-R_1 whose UID
has already been correctly received.
●All M24LR64E-Rs detect an SOF and exit the anticollision sequence. They process this
request and since the request is addressed to M24LR64E-R_1, only M24LR64E-R_1
transmits a response.
●All M24LR64E-Rs are ready to receive another request. If it is an Inventory command,
the slot numbering sequence restarts from 0.
Note:The decision to interrupt the anticollision sequence is made by the VCD. EOFs could have
been sent until Slot 16, and the request to M24LR64E-R_1 sent then.

M24LR64E-RInventory Initiated command
24 Inventory Initiated command
The M24LR64E-R provides a special feature to improve the inventory time response of
moving tags using the Initiate_flag value. This flag, controlled by the Initiate command,
allows tags to answer Inventory Initiated commands.
For applications in which multiple tags are moving in front of a reader, it is possible to miss
tags using the standard inventory command. The reason is that the inventory sequence has
to be performed on a global tree search. For example, a tag with a particular UID value may
have to wait the run of a long tree search before being inventoried. If the delay is too long,
the tag may be out of the field before it has been detected.
Using the Initiate command, the inventory sequence is optimized. When multiple tags are
moving in front of a reader, the ones which are within the reader field are initiated by the
Initiate command. In this case, a small batch of tags answers to the Inventory Initiated
command, which optimizes the time necessary to identify all the tags. When finished, the
reader has to issue a new Initiate command in order to initiate a new small batch of tags
which are new inside the reader field.
It is also possible to reduce the inventory sequence time using the Fast Initiate and Fast
Inventory Initiated commands. These commands allow the M24LR64E-Rs to increase their
response data rate by a factor of 2, up to 53 Kbit/s.

25.2 t2: VCD new request delay
t2 is the time after which the VCD may send an EOF to switch to the next slot when one or
more M24LR64E-R responses have been received during an Inventory command. It starts
from the reception of the EOF from the M24LR64E-Rs.
The EOF sent by the VCD may be either 10% or 100% modulated regardless of the
modulation index used for transmitting the VCD request to the M24LR64E-R.

The EOF sent by the VCD may be either 10% or 100% modulated regardless of the
modulation index used for transmitting the VCD request to the M24LR64E-R.
From the time the VCD has generated the rising edge of an EOF:
●If this EOF is 100% modulated, the VCD waits for a time at least equal to t
sending a new EOF.
●If this EOF is 10% modulated, the VCD waits for a time at least equal to the sum of t
+ the M24LR64E-R nominal response time (which depends on the M24LR64E-R data
rate and subcarrier modulation mode) before sending a new EOF.

The request contains:
●the flags,
●the Inventory command code (see Tab le 3 6 ),
●the AFI if the AFI flag is set,
●the mask length,
●the mask value,
●the CRC.
The M24LR64E-R does not generate any answer in case of error.

26.2 Stay Quiet
Command code = 0x02
On receiving the Stay Quiet command, the M24LR64E-R enters the Quiet state if no error
occurs, and does NOT send back a response. There is NO response to the Stay Quiet
command even if an error occurs.
When in the Quiet state:
●the M24LR64E-R does not process any request if the Inventory_flag is set,
●the M24LR64E-R processes any Addressed request.
The M24LR64E-R exits the Quiet state when:
●it is reset (power off),
●receiving a Select request. It then goes to the Selected state,
●receiving a Reset to Ready request. It then goes to the Ready state.

26.5 Read Multiple Block
When receiving the Read Multiple Block command, the M24LR64E-R reads the selected
blocks and sends back their value in multiples of 32 bits in the response. The blocks are
numbered from 00h to 1FFh in the request and the value is minus one (–1) in the field. For
example, if the “Number of blocks” field contains the value 06h, seven blocks are read. The
maximum number of blocks is fixed at 32 assuming that they are all located in the same
sector. If the number of blocks overlaps sectors, the M24LR64E-R returns an error code.
The Protocol_extension_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR64E-R to operate correctly. If
the Protocol_extension_flag is at 0, the M24LR64E-R answers with an error code. The
Option_flag is supported.

When configured in the RF busy mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the SOF that
starts the Lock DSFID command to the end of the M24LR64E-R response.
When configured in the RF write in progress mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 for the
duration of the internal write cycle (from the end of a valid Lock DSFID command to the
beginning of the M24LR64E-R response).
26.12 Get System Info
When receiving the Get System Info command, the M24LR64E-R sends back its information
data in the response. The Option_flag is not supported. The Get System Info can be issued
in both Addressed and Non Addressed modes.
The Protocol_extension_flag can be set to 0 or 1. Tab le 7 0 and Tab le 7 2 show M24LR64E-R
response to the Get System Info command depending on the value of the
Protocol_extension_flag.

When configured in the RF busy mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the SOF that
starts the Get System Info command to the end of the M24LR64E-R response.
When configured in the RF write in progress mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains in high-Z
state.
26.13 Get Multiple Block Security Status
When receiving the Get Multiple Block Security Status command, the M24LR64E-R sends
back the sector security status. The blocks are numbered from 00h to 01FFh in the request
and the value is minus one (–1) in the field. For example, a value of '06' in the “Number of
blocks” field requests to return the security status of seven blocks.
The Protocol_extension_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR64E-R to operate correctly. If
the Protocol_extension_flag is at 0, the M24LR64E-R answers with an error code.
During the M24LR64E-R response, if the internal block address counter reaches 01FFh, it
rolls over to 0000h and the Sector Security Status bytes for that location are sent back to the
reader.
