Functional Diagram Description
The MLX90110 is a 128bit Read Write and OTP
transponder operating at 125kHz. It has been
designed as a low cost read write solution for
applications which don't require high flexibility in
terms of write range, like in production
environments.

Clock and power supply are taken from the
electromagnetic field. A resistor is switched in
parallel to the resonant circuit formed by the
integrated tuning capacitor (80pF) and the
external coil to amplitude modulate the
electromagnetic field. No external components
are needed except for the antenna coil.
The EEPROM is configured as 9 words of 16
bits. Words 1 to 8 form the ID and are
continuously read out during normal operation.
The transponder can be configured for
Manchester or Biphase encoding, at 2 or 4
kBaud by programming the corresponding bits in
the 9th EEPROM word.
By setting 2 other bits in the 9th word, the
transponder memory can be partially or
completely locked. In the latter case it becomes
a Read Only transponder. In the first mode
words 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 can be rewritten with
password access.
