1.1 Description
This document describes the features and operational characteristics of the RI-STU-TRDC-01 & -02
S6350 High Frequency Multi-Protocol Readers. The RI-STU-TRDC-02 reader is shown in Figure 1.
The S6350 Reader operates at a frequency of 13.56MHz and is compatible with both standard and
ISO/IEC 15693 Tag-it inlays and tags. This reference guide provides the details that are necessary to
properly interface and use the reader as a part of an integrated system.
In compliance with the ISO/IEC 15693 standard, a global open standard for optimal use under
different regulatory and noise environments around the world, the S6350 Reader allows for the
interoperability of inlays and tags from multiple manufacturers.
Figure 1: S6350 High Frequency Reader
1.1.1 Programming Interface
The S6350 Reader is designed to operate as a part of a host-based reader system, which essentially
relegates the reader to be a slave to the host. Host-to-Tag-it reader serial communications are
accomplished within data packets whereby communications from the host to the reader are known as
requests, and replies from the reader to the host are known as responses. This communication
occurs at RS-232 levels using 57,000 baud, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and no parity. By
definition, the host is always the primary station and initiates all communication sequences. These
sequences consist of request/response pairs where the host waits for a response prior to continuing.

Note:
As no standard antenna is provided by Texas Instruments for the
S6350 reader, the noted required antenna parameters must be
closely followed by the integrator for the reader to operate properly.
2.1.5 Input / output pins (CN1 pins 3 and 4)
Pins 3 and 4 on CN1 may be configured by software commands to read a logic level input or to
switch an external load to ground (no pull-up is provided).
Figure 2: Example Circuit Diagram of an IO pin
When used as a switch to ground the following ratings should not be exceeded:
Maximum voltage 20V
Maximum current 50mA
CAUTION:
Exceeding this Voltage and Current limit could cause
permanent damage to the reader.
Note:
That if an output has been set by a software command the state will
always read back as a logic 0.
September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide
2.1.6 Baseband receiver
Minimum data pulse width 5uS
Maximum data pulse width 500uS
Typical settling time 50uS from the first transition
Note:
The receiver extracts the mean level of the incoming data stream as
a reference. This takes approximately 50uS; therefore the data
output of the receiver is not valid until after this time.

3.1 Serial Protocol Definition
The S6350 reader accepts and sends data at RS232 levels, 57600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 start bit,
1 stop bit and no parity. The data packet from the host to the reader is known as the request
and the reply from the reader to the host as the response. The host is always the primary station
and initiates all communication sequences. These consist of request/response pairs where the
host waits for a response before continuing. The S6350 reader does not use the node address.

3.1.4 Command Flags Response
The command flags in the response packet report the actions of the reader. The meanings of
the bits are defined below.
Bits 0-3 Reserved for future use.
Bit 4 Error flag. If this flag is set the command was unsuccessful and the
data section of the response packet contains the error code. (See
section Appendix B for a list of error codes.)
Bits 5-7 Reserved for future use.
3.1.5 BCC
A Block Check Character (BCC) is used for error detection and is attached to the end of the
packet. The 16 bit BCC is calculated on all the bytes of the packet including the SOF. The BCC
consists of two parts: the LSbyte is a Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) and the MSbyte is
the ones compliment of the LRC. The LRC is calculated by performing a cumulative ExclusiveOR operation on all the bytes of the packet.

The data packet from the host to the reader is known as the request and the reply from the
reader to the host as the response. The host is always the primary station and initiates all
communication sequences. These consist of request/response pairs where the host waits for a
response before continuing. All ISO/IEC 15693-3 command request packets are contained
within the standard reader command request packet format. In all cases, reader command 60
is used to pass through ISO 15693 Part 3 commands to the reader.

The Configuration Byte (ISO Command Data Byte 0)
As detailed in ISO/IEC 15693-2, the Configuration Byte (ISO Command Data Byte 0) is an 8bit byte that is used to configure the Data Coding Mode and Modulation Depth of the reader.
Modulation Depth
Bit 4 of the Configuration Byte is used to set Modulation Depth. When set high the
reader is configured for 100% Modulation Depth, when set low the reader will operate
at 10% to 30% (with a 20% nominal setting) Modulation Depth.
Data Coding Mode
Bit 0 of the Configuration Byte is used to set the Data Coding Mode. When set high
the reader is configured for Data Coding Mode 1 / 4; when set low the reader is
configured for Data Coding Mode 1 / 256.
Request Packet Format for ISO/IEC 15693-3
The request packet consists of the header, packet length, node address, command
flags, reader command (60
), ISO/IEC 15693-3 command/data bytes 0 to some
hex
number “n” (where byte 0 is the configuration byte) and the checksum.
ISO 15693 Command Data Request Structure
The structure of the ISO 15693 Command Data Request is contained within the Data
section of the ISO Command Data, bytes 1 - n. Specific to the S6350 reader, the ISO
15693 SOF, CRC16 and EOF fields must not be included in the message data packet.
Please refer to ISO/IEC 15693-3 for details about the ISO packet format). Specific to
the S6350 reader, the ISO 15693 SOF, CRC16 and EOF fields must not be included.
Note:
The protocol of S 6350 reader does not use the ISO 15693 SOF,
CRC16 and EOF fields within its message packet.
Note:
Please refer to ISO/IEC 15693-3 for details about the ISO message
packet.

The ISO Response Data packet can come in one of two possible generic formats: (a) One for
the ISO Inventory Response, and (b) all other ISO responses. These will be highlighted in the
following sections.
Note:
With the exception of the ISO Inventory Response packet, the format
for each standard response packet is the same.
The Error Byte (ISO Response Data Byte 0)
There are three possible reader errors that can be generated in response to an ISO 15693
command. This error code will be returned within the Error Byte (Byte 0) of the ISO
Response Data. The error codes are as follows:

Valid Data & Collision Flags
Valid Data Flags: This 16-bit field corresponds to whether valid data was received in the 16
possible Time Slots. Bits 0 to 7 of the LSB respectively correspond to Time Slots 1 to 8,
while bits 0 to 7 of the MSB correspond to Time Slots 9 to 16 respectively. A set bit
corresponds to valid data being received in that particular Time slot.
Collision Flags: This 16-bit field corresponding to whether a collision occurred in the 16
possible Time Slots. Bits 0 to 7 of the LSB respectively correspond to Time Slots 1 to 8,
while bits 0 to 7 of the MSB correspond to Time Slots 9 to 16 respectively. A set bit
corresponds to a collision being detected in that particular Time Slot.
Note:
It is possible to issue the Inventory Command for just 1 Time Slot
instead of 16. In this case, the preceding packet structure is still
valid; the required Valid Data flag and Collision flag reside in bit 0
of the LSB of their respective fields. It follows that issuing the
Inventory Command for a single Time Slot will result in a
maximum of one 80-bit response being returned
If both a Valid Data flag and its corresponding Collision flag are
both clear then this indicates that no transponder was detected for
that particular Time Slot.
Starting from Time Slot 1 and progressing to Time Slot 16, for each
Time Slot where a transponder was successfully read (without
collision), its 80-bit data is appended to the Data section of the
message packet.

Downloading Data to FLASH Memory
The S 6350 Reader FLASH memory contains two areas: the application area for the Reader
application firmware and a boot-loader area for the boot-loader firmware. The boot-loader
memory is factory locked.
After a reset the boot-loader firmware runs the following sequence:
• Control registers are initialized
• IO ports are initialized
• Application memory is scanned and verified
• If the application memory checksums are valid then control is transferred to the
application memory
• If the checksums fail then the boot-loader takes control of the communications.
Appendix A
The boot-loader will only accept the following commands:
• Initiate FLASH Loader Command (D0
• Send Data to FLASH Command (D8
• Read reader Version Command (F0

The boot loader only operates at 57600 baud with 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and no parity.
The application firmware will always accept the Initiate FLASH Loader Command (D0

).
When this command is received by the application firmware, control is transferred to the bootloader. If the boot-loader does not receive a Send Data to FLASH Command (D8

The application firmware is provided in a single file and contains all the necessary checksums.
The file will always contain 29700 bytes of data.
The file must be sent to the reader in one session if any errors occur the whole file must be
resent. The file is sent in 225 segments, 132 bytes at a time (225 x 132 = 29700). Each segment
is sent using the Send Data to FLASH Command (D8
). The 132 bytes of data are contained
