The SRI512 is a contactless memory, powered by an externally transmitted radio wave. It
contains a 512-bit user EEPROM. The memory is organized as 16 blocks of 32 bits. The
SRI512 is accessed via the 13.56 MHz carrier. Incoming data are demodulated and
decoded from the received amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation signal and outgoing
data are generated by load variation using bit phase shift keying (BPSK) coding of a
847 kHz subcarrier. The received ASK wave is 10% modulated. The data transfer rate
between the SRI512 and the reader is 106 Kbit/s in both reception and emission modes.
The SRI512 follows the ISO 14443-2 Type B recommendation for the radio-frequency power
and signal interface.
Figure 1.Logic diagram
The SRI512 is specifically designed for short range applications that need re-usable
products. The SRI512 includes an anticollision mechanism that allows it to detect and select
tags present at the same time within range of the reader. Using the STMicroelectronics
single chip coupler, CRX14, it is easy to design a reader and build a contactless system.

The SRI512 contactless EEPROM can be randomly read and written in block mode (each
block containing 32 bits). The instruction set includes the following nine commands:
●Read_block
●Write_block
●Initiate
●Pcall16
●Slot_marker
●Select
●Completion
●Reset_to_inventory
●Get_UID
The SRI512 memory is organized in three areas, as described in Tab l e 3 . The first area is a
resettable OTP (one-time programmable) area in which bits can only be switched from 1 to
0. Using a special command, it is possible to erase all bits of this area to 1.
The second area provides two 32-bit binary counters that can only be decremented from
FFFF FFFFh to 0000 0000h, and gives a capacity of 4,294,967,296 units per counter.
The last area is the EEPROM memory. It is accessible by block of 32 bits and includes an
auto-erase cycle during each Write_block command.

3.1 Input data transfer from the reader to the SRI512 (request
frame)
The reader must generate a 13.56 MHz sinusoidal carrier frequency at its antenna, with
enough energy to “remote-power” the memory. The energy received at the SRI512’s
antenna is transformed into a supply voltage by a regulator, and into data bits by the ASK
demodulator. For the SRI512 to decode correctly the information it receives, the reader must
10% amplitude-modulate the 13.56 MHz wave before sending it to the SRI512. This is
represented in Figure 3. The data transfer rate is 106 Kbits/s.
Figure 3.10% ASK modulation of the received wave
3.1.1 Character transmission format for request frame
The SRI512 transmits and receives data bytes as 10-bit characters, with the least significant
bit (b
) transmitted first, as shown in Figure 4. Each bit duration, an ETU (elementary time
0
unit), is equal to 9.44 µs (1/106 kHz).
These characters, framed by a start of frame (SOF) and an end of frame (EOF), are put
together to form a command frame as shown in Figure 10. A frame includes an SOF,
commands, addresses, data, a CRC and an EOF as defined in the ISO 14443-3 Type B
Standard. If an error is detected during data transfer, the SRI512 does not execute the
command, but it does not generate an error frame.

3.2 Output data transfer from the SRI512 to the reader (answer
frame)
The data bits issued by the SRI512 use back-scattering. Back-scattering is obtained by
modifying the SRI512 current consumption at the antenna (load modulation). The load
modulation causes a variation at the reader antenna by inductive coupling. With appropriate
detector circuitry, the reader is able to pick up information from the SRI512. To improve loadmodulation detection, data is transmitted using a BPSK encoded, 847 kHz subcarrier
frequency ƒ

3.2.2 Answer start of frame
The character format is the same as for input data transfer (Figure 4). The transmitted
frames are made up of an SOF, data, a CRC and an EOF (Figure 10). As with an input data
transfer, if an error occurs, the reader does not issue an error code to the SRI512, but it
should be able to detect it and manage the situation. The data transfer rate is
106 Kbits/second.

3.3 Transmission frame
Between the request data transfer and the answer data transfer, all ASK and BPSK
modulations are suspended for a minimum time of t
to switch from Transmission to Reception mode. It is repeated after each frame. After t
13.56 MHz carrier frequency is modulated by the SRI512 at 847 kHz for a period of
t
=128/ƒS to allow the reader to synchronize. After t1, the first phase transition generated

by the SRI512 forms the start bit (‘0’) of the answer SOF. After the falling edge of the answer

3.4 CRC
The 16-bit CRC used by the SRI512 is generated in compliance with the ISO14443 Type B
recommendation. For further information, please see Appendix A. The initial register
contents are all 1’s: FFFFh.
The two-byte CRC is present in every request and in every answer frame, before the EOF.
The CRC is calculated on all the bytes between SOF (not included) and the CRC field.
Upon reception of a request from a reader, the SRI512 verifies that the CRC value is valid. If
it is invalid, the SRI512 discards the frame and does not answer the reader.
Upon reception of an answer from the SRI512, the reader should verify the validity of the
CRC. In case of error, the actions to be taken are the reader designer’s responsibility.
The CRC is transmitted with the least significant byte first and each byte is transmitted with
the least significant bit first.

4 Memory mapping
The SRI512 is organized as 16 blocks of 32 bits as shown in Ta bl e 3 . All blocks are
accessible by the Read_block command. Depending on the write access, they can be
updated by the Write_block command. A Write_block updates all the 32 bits of the block.

4.1 Resettable OTP area
This area contains five individual 32-bit Boolean words (see Figure 12 for a map of the
area). A Write_block command will not erase the previous contents of the block as the write
cycle is not preceded by an auto-erase cycle. This feature can be used to reset selected bits
from 1 to 0. All bits previously at 0 remain unchanged. When the 32 bits of a block are all at
0, the block is empty, and cannot be updated any more. See Figure 13 and Figure 14 for
examples of the result of the Write_block command in the resettable OTP area.
Figure 12. Resettable OTP area (addresses 0 to 4)
Figure 13. Write_block update in standard mode (binary format)
The five 32-bit blocks making up the Resettable OTP area can be erased in one go by
adding an auto-erase cycle to the Write_block command. An auto-erase cycle is added
each time the SRI512 detects a Reload command. The Reload command is implemented
through a specific update of the 32-bit binary counter located at block address 6 (see
Section 4.2: 32-bit binary counters for details).
