3. Device Operation
3-1. Clock and Data Transitions:
The SDA pin is normally pulled high with an external device. Data on the SDA pin may
change only during SCL low time periods. Data changes during SCL high periods will
indicate a start or stop condition a s defined below.
3-2. Start Condition
A high-to-low transition of SDA with SCL high is a start condition which must precede any
other command
3-3. Stop Condition A low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL high is a stop condition.
3-4. Acknowledge
All addresses and data words are serially transm itted to and from the SL030 in 8-bit words.
The SL030 sends a zero to acknowledge that it is not busy, and has received each word.
This happens during the ninth clock cycle.

3-5. Busy State
When the SL030 has received command, then don’t acknowledge IIC bus until ends with
the card communication.
3-6. Device Addressing
The SL030 devices require an 8-bit device address word following a start condition to
enable the chip for a read or write operation.
The device address word consists of 7 bits addressing and 1 bit operation select bit.
The first 7 bits are the SL030 addressing, is 10100xx depend on JP1 and JP2 status as
below table
no no
shorted
The eighth bit of the device address is the read/write operation select bit. A read operation
is initiated if this bit is high and a write operation is initiated if this bit is low.

Mifare Plus SL0 and SL3 can tell differences via ATS(ISO14443-4). Before ATS, they have the same ATQA and
SAK(ISO14443-3). SL030 judges card type only via ISO14443-3 layer for the compatibility.

Attention: According to NXP MifarePlus card document, Commit Perso will make effect
after you have “Write Perso” the Master KEY, Configuration KEY and SWL3 KEY.
If your card is L1 card, after Commit Perso, the card will switch L0 to L1;
If your card is L3 card, after Commit Perso, the card will switch L0 to L3.

5. DIFFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS VERSION
Although we make efforts on the compatibility between the new SL030 V3.0 and the
old SL030 V1.0-V2.3, there are still some differences you need to know.
1. New SL030 has a new auto-detection function which can close automatically when
there is a DESFire or MifarePlus L0/L2/L3 card coming into the detection range,
and the light will be on even if the card is out of field. By the way , we also of fer you
the Turn On/Off Auto-detection command.
2. New SL030 supports nearly all cards of NXP Mifare series now and we rebuilt the
card type characters.(Details see to Command Select Mifare Card Description)
