1 Description

The M24LR64-R device is a dual-interface, electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM). It features an I also a contactless memory powered by the received carrier electromagnetic wave. The M24LR64-R is organized as 8192 × 8 bits in the I
2
C interface and can be operated from a VCC power supply. It is
2
C mode and as 2048 × 32 bits in the ISO
15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 RF mode.

Figure 1. Logic diagram

I
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
2
C
bus definition.
The device behaves as a slave in the I
2
C protocol, with all memory operations synchronized 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
) (as described in Ta bl e 2 ), terminated by an acknowledge bit.
When writing data to the memory, the device inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9
th
bit 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 M24LR64-R is accessed via the
13.56 MHz carrier electromagnetic wave on which incoming data are demodulated from the received signal amplitude modulation (ASK: amplitude shift keying). 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 are generated by the M24LR64-R load variation using Manchester coding with one or two subcarrier frequencies at 423 kHz and 484 kHz. Data are transferred from the M24LR64-R at 6.6 Kbit/s in low data rate mode and 26 Kbit/s high data rate mode. The M24LR64-R supports the 53 Kbit/s in high data rate mode in one subcarrier frequency at 423 kHz.
The M24LR64-R follows the ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 recommendation for radio-frequency power and signal interface.

2 Signal description

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 Chip Enable (E0, E1)

These input signals are used to set the value that is to be looked for on the two least significant bits (b2, b1) of the 7-bit device select code. These inputs must be tied to V V
, to establish the device select code as shown in Figure 3. When not connected (left

2.4 Antenna coil (AC0, AC1)

These inputs are used to connect the device to an external coil exclusively. It is advised to not connect any other DC or AC path to AC0 and AC1 pads. When correctly tuned, the coil is used to power and access the device using the ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 protocols.

Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage within the specified [V

maintain a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the V suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF) close to the V

This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction and, for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal I²C write cycle (t

2.6.2 Power-up conditions

When the power supply is turned on, VCC rises from VSS to VCC. The VCC rise time must not vary faster than 1V/µs.

2.6.3 Device reset

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 instruction until V lower than the minimum V
has reached the power-on reset threshold voltage (this threshold is

over the POR threshold, the device is reset and enters the Standby Power mode, however, the device must not be accessed until V within the specified [V

3 User memory organization

The M24LR64-R is divided into 64 sectors of 32 blocks of 32 bits as shown in Tab l e 5 .
Figure 7 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 are not in a protected sector.
The M24LR64-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 M24LR64-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 M24LR64-R has four additional 32-bit blocks that store an I password codes.

Sector details
The M24LR64-R user memory is divided into 64 sectors. Each sector contains 1024 bits. 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 are done by block. Read and write block accesses are controlled by a Sector Security Status byte that defines the access rights to all 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 write­protected. To access the user memory, the device select code used for any I must have the E2 Chip Enable address at 0.

4.1 M24LR64-R RF block security

The M24LR64-R provides a special protection mechanism based on passwords. Each memory sector of the M24LR64-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 M24LR64-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 . Tab le 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 reset to 00h.

4.3 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 8 bytes of the I2C_Write_Lock bit area starting from the location 2048 (see Ta bl e 1 3 ). Using these 64 bits, it is possible to write-protect all the 64 sectors of the M24LR64-R memory.
Each bit controls the I possible to unprotect a sector in the I the corresponding sector is unprotected. When the bit is set to 1, the corresponding sector is write-protected.

I2C device operation M24LR64-R

5 I2C device operation

The device supports the I2C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 5. Any device that sends data on to the bus is defined to be a transmitter, and any device that reads the data to be 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 will also provide the serial clock for synchronization. The M24LR64-R device is always a slave in all communications.

5.1 Start condition

Start is identified by a falling edge of Serial Data (SDA) while 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) Serial Data (SDA) and Serial Clock (SCL) for a Start condition, and will not respond unless one is given.

5.2 Stop condition

Stop is identified by a rising edge of Serial Data (SDA) while 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 it be bus master or slave device, releases Serial Data (SDA) after sending eight bits of data. During the 9 acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits.
th
clock pulse period, the receiver pulls Serial Data (SDA) low to

5.4 Data Input

During data input, the device samples Serial Data (SDA) on the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCL). For correct device operation, Serial Data (SDA) must be stable during the rising edge of Serial Clock (SCL), and the Serial Data (SDA) signal must change only when Serial Clock (SCL) is driven low.

5.5 Memory addressing

To start 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), most significant bit first).
The device select code consists of a 4-bit device type identifier, and a 3-bit Chip Enable “Address” (E2, E1, E0). To address the memory array, the 4-bit device type identifier is 1010b.
Up to four memory devices can be connected on a single I unique 2-bit code on the Chip Enable (E0, E1) inputs. When the device select code is received, the device only responds if the Chip Enable Address is the same as the value on the Chip Enable (E0, E1) inputs.

I2C device operation M24LR64-R

5.6 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 10.
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 (Ta bl e 4 ). Bits b15 to b0 form the address of the byte in memory.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (in the “10 bit” 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.
) reset to 0. The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure 11, and waits for two
th
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, Serial Data (SDA) is disabled internally, and the device does not respond to any requests.

5.7 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, instead, the addressed location is not Write­protected, the device replies with Ack. The bus master terminates the transfer by generating a Stop condition, as shown in Figure 11.

5.8 Page Write

The Page Write mode allows up to 4 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 will 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 1 to 4 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 is 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.

5.9 Minimizing system delays by polling on ACK

During the internal write cycle, the device disconnects itself from the bus, and writes a copy of the data from its internal latches to the memory cells. The maximum I²C write time (t shown in
Ta bl e 1 0 4, but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this, a polling sequence
can be used by the bus master.
The sequence, as shown in Figure 12, is:
1. Initial condition: a write cycle is in progress.
2. Step 1: the bus master issues a Start condition followed by a device select code (the
first byte of the new instruction).
3. Step 2: if the device is busy with the internal Write cycle, no Ack will be returned and
the bus master goes back to Step 1. If the device has terminated the internal write cycle, it responds with an Ack, indicating that the device is ready to receive the second part of the instruction (the first byte of this instruction having been sent during Step 1).

5.10 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.

5.11 Random Address Read

A dummy Write is first performed to load the address into this address counter (as shown in
Figure 13) 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.

5.12 Current Address Read

For the Current Address Read operation, following a Start condition, the bus master only sends a device select code with the Read/Write this, and outputs the byte addressed by the internal address counter. The counter is then incremented. The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in
Figure 13, without acknowledging the byte.
bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges

5.13 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 13.
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.

The M24LR64-R is divided into 64 sectors of 32 blocks of 32 bits as shown in Tab l 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 M24LR64-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 M24LR64-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 M24LR64-R has three additional 32-bit blocks in which the password codes are stored.

M24LR64-R RF device operation

7.2 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 (M24LR64-R) takes place as follows:
activation of the M24LR64-R by the RF operating field of the VCD
transmission of a command by the VCD
transmission of a response by the M24LR64-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).

7.2.1 Power transfer

Power is transferred to the M24LR64-R by radio frequency at 13.56 MHz via coupling antennas in the M24LR64-R and the VCD. The RF operating field of the VCD is transformed on the M24LR64-R antenna to an AC Voltage which is rectified, filtered and internally regulated. The amplitude modulation (ASK) on this received signal is demodulated by the ASK demodulator.

7.2.2 Frequency

The ISO 15693 standard defines the carrier frequency (fC) of the operating field as
13.56 MHz ±7 kHz.

7.2.3 Operating field

The M24LR64-R operates continuously between the minimum and maximum values of the electromagnetic field H defined in Table 105. The VCD has to generate a field within these limits.

8 Communication signal from VCD to M24LR64-R

Communications between the VCD and the M24LR64-R takes place using the modulation principle of ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying). Two modulation indexes are used, 10% and 100%. The M24LR64-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” will be created as described in
Figure 14 and Figure 15.
The M24LR64-R is operational for any degree of modulation index from between 10% and 30%.

9 Data rate and data coding

The data coding implemented in the M24LR64-R uses pulse position modulation. Both data coding modes that are described in the ISO15693 are supported by the M24LR64-R. The selection is made by the VCD and indicated to the M24LR64-R within the start of frame (SOF).

9.1 Data coding mode: 1 out of 256

The value of one single byte is represented by the position of one pause. The position of the pause on 1 of 256 successive time periods of 18.88 µs (256/f byte. In this case the transmission of one byte takes 4.833 ms and the resulting data rate is
1.65 Kbits/s (f
/8192).

Figure 16 illustrates this pulse position modulation technique. In this figure, data E1h (225
decimal) is sent by the VCD to the M24LR64-R.
The pause occurs during the second half of the position of the time period that determines the value, as shown in Figure 17.
A pause during the first period transmits the data value 00h. A pause during the last period transmit the data value FFh (255 decimal).

9.3 VCD to M24LR64-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 M24LR64-R is ready to receive a new command frame from the VCD 311.5 µs (t sending a response frame to the VCD.
The M24LR64-R takes a power-up time of 0.1 ms after being activated by the powering field. After this delay, the M24LR64-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.

M24LR64-R Communications signal from M24LR64-R to VCD

10 Communications signal from M24LR64-R to VCD

The M24LR64-R has several modes defined for some parameters, owing to which it can operate in different noise environments and meet different application requirements.

10.1 Load modulation

The M24LR64-R is capable of communication 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 M24LR64-R.
The load-modulated amplitude received on the VCD antenna must be of at least 10mV when measured as described in the test methods defined in International Standard ISO10373-7.

10.2 Subcarrier

The M24LR64-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 continuous phase relationship between f

10.3 Data rates

The M24LR64-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. It also supports the x2 mode available on all the Fast commands. Ta bl e 1 7 shows the different data rates produced by the M24LR64-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 will increase by this factor. For the Fast commands using one subcarrier, all pulse numbers and times are divided by 2.

The M24LR64-R is uniquely identified by a 64-bit unique identifier (UID). This UID complies with ISO/IEC 15963 and ISO/IEC 7816-6. The UID is a read-only code and comprises:
8 MSBs with a value of E0h
The IC manufacturer code of ST 02h, on 8 bits (ISO/IEC 7816-6/AM1)
a unique serial number on 48 bits

Table 18. UID format

Application family identifier (AFI) M24LR64-R

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 M24LR64-Rs present, only the M24LR64-Rs that meet the required application criteria.

M24LR64-R Data storage format identifier (DSFID)

15 Data storage format identifier (DSFID)

The data storage format identifier indicates how the data is structured in the M24LR64-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 M24LR64-R is calculated as per the definition in ISO/IEC 13239. The initial register contents are all ones: “FFFF”.
The two-byte CRC are 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 M24LR64-R verifies that the CRC value is valid. If it is invalid, the M24LR64-R discards the frame and does not answer to the VCD.
Upon reception of a Response from the M24LR64-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.

M24LR64-R protocol description M24LR64-R

16 M24LR64-R protocol description

The transmission protocol (or simply protocol) defines the mechanism used to exchange instructions and data between the VCD and the M24LR64-R, in both directions. It is based on the concept of “VCD talks first”.
This means that an M24LR64-R will 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 M24LR64-R
a response from the M24LR64-R to the VCD
Each request and each response are contained in a frame. The frame delimiters (SOF, EOF) are described in Section 12: M24LR64-R to VCD frames.
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, 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.

M24LR64-R states M24LR64-R

17 M24LR64-R states

An M24LR64-R can be in one of 4 states:
Power-off
Ready
Quiet
Selected
Transitions between these states are specified in Figure 49: M24LR64-R state transition
diagram and Table 22: M24LR64-R response depending on Request_flags.

17.1 Power-off state

The M24LR64-R is in the Power-off state when it does not receive enough energy from the VCD.

17.2 Ready state

The M24LR64-R is in the Ready state when it receives enough energy from the VCD. When in the Ready state, the M24LR64-R answers any request where the Select_flag is not set.

17.3 Quiet state

When in the Quiet state, the M24LR64-R answers any request except for Inventory requests with the Address_flag set.

17.4 Selected state

In the Selected state, the M24LR64-R answers any request in all modes (see Section 18:
Modes):
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

Modes M24LR64-R

18 Modes

The term “mode” refers to the mechanism used in a request to specify the set of M24LR64­Rs that will answer 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 M24LR64-R.
Any M24LR64-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 M24LR64-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 M24LR64-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 M24LR64­R Unique ID. The M24LR64-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 M24LR64-Rs in the Selected state answer a request where the Select_flag set to 1.
The system design ensures in theory that only one M24LR64-R can be in the Select state at a time.

M24LR64-R Anticollision

21 Anticollision

The purpose of the anticollision sequence is to inventory the M24LR64-Rs present in the VCD field using their unique ID (UID).
The VCD is the master of communications with one or several M24LR64-Rs. It initiates M24LR64-R communication by issuing the Inventory request.
The M24LR64-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
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 will be 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.

The AFI field is present if the AFI_flag is set.
The pulse is generated according to the definition of the EOF in ISO/IEC 15693-2.
The first slot starts immediately after the reception of the request EOF. To switch to the next slot, the VCD sends an EOF.
The following rules and restrictions apply:
if no M24LR64-R answer is detected, the VCD may switch to the next slot by sending
an EOF,
if one or more M24LR64-R answers are detected, the VCD waits until the complete
frame has been received before sending an EOF for switching to the next slot.

Explanation of the possible cases M24LR64-R

23 Explanation of the possible cases

Figure 51 summarizes the main possible cases that can occur during an anticollision
sequence when the slot number is 16.
The different steps are:
The VCD sends an Inventory request, in a frame terminated by an EOF. The number of
slots is 16.
M24LR64-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 M24LR64-Rs, M24LR64-R_2 and M24LR64-R_3 transmit a response,
thus generating a collision. The VCD records the event and remembers 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 M24LR64-R transmits a response. Therefore the VCD does not detect any
M24LR64-R SOF and decides to switch to the next slot by sending an EOF.
In slot 3, there is another collision caused by responses from M24LR64-R_4 and
M24LR64-R_5
The VCD then decides to send a request (for instance a Read Block) to M24LR64-R_1
whose UID has already been correctly received.
All M24LR64-Rs detect an SOF and exit the anticollision sequence. They process this
request and since the request is addressed to M24LR64-R_1, only M24LR64-R_1 transmits a response.
All M24LR64-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. It could have
continued to send EOFs until Slot 16 and only then sent the request to M24LR64-R_1.

Inventory Initiated command M24LR64-R

24 Inventory Initiated command

The M24LR64-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 to 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 will be initiated by the Initiate command. In this case, a small batch of tags will answer to the Inventory Initiated command which will optimize 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 M24LR64-Rs to increase their response data rate by a factor of 2, up to 53 Kbit/s.

M24LR64-R Timing definition

25 Timing definition

25.1 t1: M24LR64-R response delay

Upon detection of the rising edge of the EOF received from the VCD, the M24LR64-R waits for a time t next slot during an inventory process. Values of t in Figure 22 on page 46.

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 M24LR64-R responses have been received during an Inventory command. It starts from the reception of the EOF from the M24LR64-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 M24LR64-R.
t

25.3 t3: VCD new request delay in the absence of a response from the M24LR64-R

t3 is the time after which the VCD may send an EOF to switch to the next slot when no M24LR64-R response has been received.
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 M24LR64-R.
From the time the VCD has generated the rising edge of an EOF:
If this EOF is 100% modulated, the VCD waits a time at least equal to t
sending a new EOF.
If this EOF is 10% modulated, the VCD waits a time at least equal to the sum of t
the M24LR64-R nominal response time (which depends on the M24LR64-R data rate and subcarrier modulation mode) before sending a new EOF.

26.2 Stay Quiet

Command code = 0x02
On receiving the Stay Quiet command, the M24LR64-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 M24LR64-R does not process any request if the Inventory_flag is set,
the M24LR64-R processes any Addressed request
The M24LR64-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 M24LR64-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 '7FFh' 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, 7 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 M24LR64-R returns an error code. The Protocol_extention_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR64-R to operate correctly. If the Protocol_extention_flag is at 0, the M24LR64-R answers with an error code. The Option_flag is supported.

When receiving the Get Multiple Block Security Status command, the M24LR64-R sends back the sector security status. The blocks are numbered from '00h to '07FFh' 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 7 blocks.
The Protocol_extention_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR64-R to operate correctly. If the Protocol_extention_flag is at 0, the M24LR64-R answers with an error code.
During the M24LR64-R response, if the internal block address counter reaches 07FFh, it rolls over to 0000h and the Sector Security Status bytes for that location are sent back to the reader.

M24LR64-R Commands codes

26.15 Lock-sector Password

On receiving the Lock-sector Password command, the M24LR64-R sets the access rights and permanently locks the selected sector. The Option_flag is supported.
A sector is selected by giving the address of one of its blocks in the Lock-sector Password request (Sector number field). For example, addresses 0 to 31 are used to select sector 0 and addresses 32 to 63 are used to select sector 1. Care must be taken when issuing the Lock-sector Password command as all the blocks belonging to the same sector are automatically locked by a single command.
The Protocol_extention_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR64-R to operate correctly. If the Protocol_extention_flag is at 0, the M24LR64-R answers with an error code.
During the RF write cycle W
, there should be no modulation (neither 100% nor 10%)

otherwise, the M24LR64-R may not correctly lock the memory block. The W
