ABRIDGED DATA SHEET
General Description
The MAX66040 combines 1024 bits of user EEPROM
with secure hash algorithm (SHA-1) challenge-andresponse authentication (ISO/IEC 10118-3 SHA-1), a
64-bit unique identifier (UID), one 64-bit secret, and a
13.56MHz RF interface (ISO/IEC 14443 Type B, Parts 2-
4) in a single chip. The memory is organized as 16
blocks of 8 bytes plus three more blocks, one for the
secret and two for data and control registers. Except for
the secret, each block has a user-readable write-cycle
counter. Four adjacent user EEPROM blocks form a
memory page (pages 0 to 3). The integrated SHA-1
engine provides a message authentication code (MAC)
using data from the EEPROM of the device and the 64bit secret to guarantee secure, symmetric authentication for both reading and writing to the device. Memory
protection features are write protection and EPROM
emulation, which the user can set for each individual
memory page. Page 3 can also be read-protected for
enhanced authentication strength. Memory access is
accomplished through the block transmission protocol
(ISO/IEC 14443-4), where requests and responses are
exchanged through I-blocks once a device is in the
ACTIVE state. The data rate can be as high as
847.5kbps. The reader must support a frame size of 26
bytes. The device supports an application family identifier (AFI) and a card identifier (CID). ISO/IEC 14443
functions not supported are chaining, frame-waiting
time extension, and power indication.
