M24LR16E-R Description

1 Description
The M24LR16E-R device is a Dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC with dual-interface, electrically
erasable programmable memory (EEPROM). It features an I2C interface and can be
operated from a VCC power supply. It is also a contactless memory powered by the received
carrier electromagnetic wave. The M24LR16E-R is organized as 2048 × 8 bits in the I2C
mode and as 512 × 32 bits in the ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 RF mode.
The M24LR16E-R also features an energy harvesting analog output, as well as a user-
configurable digital output pin toggling during either RF write in progress or RF busy mode.
Figure 1. Logic diagram
I2C 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 I2C
bus definition.
The device behaves as a slave in the I2C 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 Table 2), terminated by an acknowledge bit.
When writing data to the memory, the device inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9th 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 M24LR16E-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). When connected to an
antenna, the operating power is derived from the RF energy and no external power supply is
required. 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 M24LR16E-R load variation using Manchester coding
with one or two subcarrier frequencies at 423 kHz and 484 kHz. Data are transferred from
the M24LR16E-R at 6.6 Kbit/s in low data rate mode and 26 Kbit/s high data rate mode. The

Description M24LR16E-R
14/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
M24LR16E-R supports the 53 Kbit/s fast mode in high data rate mode using one subcarrier
frequency at 423 kHz.
The M24LR16E-R follows the ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 recommendation for
radio-frequency power and signal interface.
The M24LR16E-R provides an Energy harvesting mode on the analog output pin Vout.
When the Energy harvesting mode is activated, the M24LR16E-R can output the excess
energy coming from the RF field on the Vout analog pin. In case the RF field strength is
insufficient or when Energy harvesting mode is disabled, the analog output pin Vout goes
into high-Z state and Energy harvesting mode is automatically stopped.
The M24LR16E-R features a user configurable digital out pin RF WIP/BUSY that can be
used to drive a micro controller interrupt input pin (available only when the M24LR16E-R is
correctly powered on the Vcc pin).
When configured in the RF write in progress mode (RF WIP mode), the RF WIP/BUSY pin is
driven low for the entire duration of the RF internal write operation. When configured in the
RF busy mode (RF BUSY mode), the RF WIP/BUSY pin is driven low for the entire duration
of the RF command progress.
The RF WIP/BUSY pin is an open drain output and must be connected to a pull-up resistor.

2 Signal descriptions
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 VCC. (Figure 3 indicates how the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated). In
most applications, though, this method of synchronization is not employed, and so the pull-
up 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 VCC. (Figure 3 indicates how
the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
2.3 RF Write in progress / RF Busy (RF WIP/BUSY)
This configurable output signal is used either to indicate that the M24LR16E-R is executing
an internal write cycle from the RF channel or that an RF command is in progress. RF WIP
and signals are available only when the M24LR16E-R is powered by the Vcc pin. It is an
open drain output and a pull up resistor must be connected from RF WIP/BUSY to VCC.
2.4 Energy harvesting analog output (Vout)
This analog output pin is used to deliver the analog voltage Vout available when the Energy
harvesting mode is enabled and the RF field strength is sufficient. When the Energy
harvesting mode is disabled or the RF field strength is not sufficient, the energy harvesting
analog voltage output Vout is in High-Z state.
2.5 Antenna coil (AC0, AC1)
These inputs are used to connect the device to an external coil exclusively. It is advised not
to connect any other DC or AC path to AC0 or AC1.
When correctly tuned, the coil is used to power and access the device using the ISO 15693
and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 protocols.
2.5.1 Device reset in RF mode
To ensure a proper reset of the RF circuitry, the RF field must be turned off (100%
modulation) for a minimum tRF_OFF period of time.
Signal descriptions M24LR16E-R
16/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
2.6 VSS ground
VSS is the reference for the VCC supply voltage and Vout analog output voltage.
2.7 Supply voltage (VCC)
This pin can be connected to an external DC supply voltage.
Note: An internal voltage regulator allows the external voltage applied on VCC to supply the
M24LR16E-R, while preventing the internal power supply (rectified RF waveforms) to output
a DC voltage on the VCC pin.
2.7.1 Operating supply voltage VCC
Prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and stable VCC voltage
within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see Table 119). To
maintain a stable DC supply voltage, it is recommended to decouple the VCC line with a
suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10 nF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins.
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 (tW).
2.7.2 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.
2.7.3 Device reset in I²C mode
In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power-on reset (POR)
circuit is included. At power-up (continuous rise of VCC), the device does not respond to any
I²C instruction until VCC has reached the power-on reset threshold voltage (this threshold is
lower than the minimum VCC operating voltage defined in Table 119). When VCC passes
over the POR threshold, the device is reset and enters the Standby power mode. However,
the device must not be accessed until VCC has reached a valid and stable VCC voltage
within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range.
In a similar way, during power-down (continuous decrease in VCC), as soon as VCC drops
below the power-on reset threshold voltage, the device stops responding to any instruction
sent to it.
2.7.4 Power-down conditions
During power-down (continuous decay of VCC), the device must be in Standby power mode
(mode reached after decoding a Stop condition, assuming that there is no internal write
cycle in progress).

3 User memory organization
The M24LR16E-R is divided into 16 sectors of 32 blocks of 32 bits, as shown in Table 5.
Figure 6 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 M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R has four 32-bit blocks that store an I2C password plus three RF password
codes.

Sector details
The M24LR16E-R user memory is divided into 16 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 is done by
block. Read and write block accesses are controlled by a Sector Security Status byte that
defines the access rights to 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.
In I2C 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
write-protected. To access the user memory, the device select code used for any I2C
command must have the E2 Chip Enable address at 0.

4.1 M24LR16E-R block security in RF mode
The M24LR16E-R provides a special protection mechanism based on passwords. In RF
mode, each memory sector of the M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-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 Table 7.
Table 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 set to 00h.
When the Sector Lock bit is set to 1, for instance by issuing a Lock-sector command, the
two Read/Write protection bits (b1, b2) are used to set the Read/Write access of the sector
as described in Table 8.

The next two bits of the Sector security status byte (b3, b4) are the password control bits.
The value of these two bits is used to link a password to the sector, as defined in Table 9.
The M24LR16E-R password protection is organized around a dedicated set of commands,
plus a system area of three password blocks where the password values are stored. This
system area is described in Table 10.
The dedicated commands for protection in RF mode are:
•Write-sector password:
The Write-sector password command is used to write a 32-bit block into the password
system area. This command must be used to update password values. After the write
cycle, the new password value is automatically activated. It is possible to modify a
password value after issuing a valid Present-sector password command. On delivery,
the three default password values are set to 0000 0000h and are activated.
•Lock-sector:
The Lock-sector command is used to set the sector security status byte of the selected
sector. Bits b4 to b1 of the sector security status byte are affected by the Lock-sector
command. The sector lock bit, b0, is set to 1 automatically. After issuing a Lock-sector
command, the protection settings of the selected sector are activated. The protection of
a locked block cannot be changed in RF mode. A Lock-sector command sent to a
locked sector returns an error code.

26/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
•Present-sector password:
The Present-sector password command is used to present one of the three passwords
to the M24LR16E-R in order to modify the access rights of all the memory sectors
linked to that password (Table 8) including the password itself. If the presented
password is correct, the access rights remain activated until the tag is powered off or
until a new Present-sector password command is issued. If the presented password
value is not correct, all the access rights of all the memory sectors are deactivated.
•Sector security status byte area access conditions in I2C mode:
In I2C mode, read access to the sector security status byte area is always allowed.
Write access depends on the correct presentation of the I2C password (see
Section 5.16.1: I2C present password command description).
To access the Sector security status byte area, the device select code used for any I2C
command must have the E2 Chip Enable address at 1.
An I2C write access to a sector security status byte re-initializes the RF access
condition to the given memory sector.
4.1.1 Example of the M24LR16E-R security protection in RF mode
Table 11 and Table 12 show the sector security protections before and after a valid Present-
sector password command. Table 11 shows the sector access rights of an M24LR16E-R
after power-up. After a valid Present-sector password command with password 1, the
memory sector access is changed as shown in Table 12.

4.2 M24LR16E-R block security in I²C mode (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 2 bytes of the
I2C_Write_Lock bit area. I2C_Write_Lock bit area starts from location 2048 (see Table 13).
To access the I2C_Write_Lock bit area, the device select code used for any I2C command
must have the E2 Chip Enable address at 1.
Using these 16 bits, it is possible to write-protect all the 16 sectors of the M24LR16E-R
memory. Each bit controls the I2C write access to a specific sector as shown in Table 13. It
is always possible to unprotect a sector in the I2C mode. When an I2C_Write_Lock bit is
reset to 0, the corresponding sector is unprotected. When the bit is set to 1, the
corresponding sector is write-protected.
In I2C mode, read access to the I2C_Write_Lock bit area is always allowed. Write access
depends on the correct presentation of the I2C password.
On delivery, the default value of the eight bytes of the I2C_Write_Lock bit area is reset to
00h.
4.3 Configuration byte and Control register
The M24LR16E-R offers an 8-bit non-volatile Configuration byte located at I²C location 2320
of the system area used to store the RF WIP/BUSY pin and the energy harvesting
configuration (see Table 14).
The M24LR16E-R also offers an 8-bit volatile Control register located at I²C location 2336 of
the system area used to store the energy harvesting enable bit as well as a FIELD_ON bit
indicator (see Table 15).
4.3.1 RF WIP/BUSY pin configuration
The M24LR16E-R features a configurable open drain output RF WIP/BUSY pin used to
provide RF activity information to an external device.
The RF WIP/BUSY pin functionality depends on the value of bit 3 of the Configuration byte.
•RF busy mode
When bit 3 of the Configuration byte is set to 0, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is configured in RF
busy mode.
The purpose of this mode is to indicate to the I²C bus master whether the M24LR16E-R is
busy in RF mode or not.
In this mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the RF command Start Of Frame (SOF)
until the end of the command execution.
Table 13. I2C_Write_Lock bit
I2C byte address Bits [15:8] Bits [7:0]
E2 = 1 2048 sectors 15-8 sectors 7-0
System memory area M24LR16E-R
28/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
If a bad RF command is received, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the RF command
SOF until the reception of the RF command CRC. Otherwise, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is in
high-Z state.
When tied to 0, the RF WIP/BUSY signal returns to High-Z state if the RF field is cut-off.
During execution of I²C commands, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains in high-Z state.
•RF Write in progress
When bit 3 of the Configuration byte is set to 1, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is configured in RF
Write in progress mode.
The purpose of this mode is to indicate to the I²C bus master that some data have been
changed in RF mode.
In this mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 for the duration of an internal write operation
(i.e. between the end of a valid RF write command and the beginning of the RF answer).
During execution of I²C write operations, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains in high-Z state.
4.3.2 Energy harvesting configuration
The M24LR16E-R features an Energy harvesting mode on the Vout analog output.
The general purpose of the Energy harvesting mode is to deliver a part of the non-
necessary RF power received by the M24LR16E-R on the AC0-AC1 RF input in order to
supply an external device. The current consumption on the analog voltage output Vout is
limited to ensure that the M24LR16E-R is correctly supplied during the powering of the
external device.
When the Energy harvesting mode is enabled and the power delivered on the AC0-AC1 RF
input exceeds the minimum required PAC0-AC1_min, the M24LR16E-R is able to deliver a
limited and unregulated voltage on the Vout pin, assuming the current consumption on the
Vout does not exceed the Isink_max maximum value.
If one of the condition above is not met, the analog voltage output pin Vout is set in High-Z
state.
For robust applications using the Energy harvesting mode, four current fan-out levels can be
chosen.
•Vout sink current configuration
The sink current level is chosen by programming EH_cfg1 and EH_cfg0 into the
Configuration byte (see Table 14).
The minimum power level required on AC0-AC1 RF input PAC0-AC1_min, the delivered
voltage Vout, as well as the maximum current consumption Isink_max on the Vout pin
corresponding to the <EH_cfg1,EH_cfg0> bit values are described in Table 127.

•Energy harvesting enable control
Delivery of Energy harvesting analog output voltage on the Vout pin depends on the value of
the EH_enable bit of the volatile Control register (see Table 15).
– When set to 1, the EH_enable bit enables the Energy harvesting mode, meaning
that the Vout analog output signal is delivered when the PAC0-AC1_min and Isink_max
conditions corresponding to the chosen sink current configuration bit are met (see
Table 127).
– When set to 0, the EH_enable bit disable the Energy harvesting mode and the
analog output Vout remains in set in High-Z state.
– The T_Prog flag indicates a correct duration of the I²C write time (tw). This bit is
reset to 0 after POR and at the beginning of each writing cycle; it is set to 1 only
after a correct completion of the writing cycle.
•Energy harvesting default mode control
At power-up, in I²C or RF mode, the EH_enable bit is updated according to the value of the
EH_mode bit stored in the non-volatile Configuration byte (see Table 16). In other words,
the EH_mode bit is used to configure whether the Energy harvesting mode is enabled or not
by default.
4.3.3 FIELD_ON indicator bit
The FIELD_ON bit indicator located as Bit 1 of the Control register is a read-only bit used to
indicate when the RF power level delivered to the M24LR16E-R is sufficient to execute RF
commands.
•When FIELD_ON = 0, the M24LR16E-R is not able to execute any RF commands.
•When FIELD_ON =1, the M24LR16E-R is able to execute any RF commands.
Note: During read access to the Control register in RF mode, the FIELD_ON bit is always read
at 1.

4.3.4 Configuration byte access in I²C and RF modes
In I²C mode, read and write accesses to the non-volatile Configuration byte are always
allowed. To access the Configuration byte, the device select code used for any I²C
command must have the E2 Chip enable address at 1.
The dedicated commands to access the Configuration byte in RF mode are:
•Read configuration byte command (ReadCfg):
The ReadCfg command is used to read the eight bits of the Configuration byte.
•Write energy harvesting configuration command (WriteEHCfg):
The WriteEHCfg command is used to write the EH_mode, EH_cfg1 and EH_cfg0 bits into
the Configuration byte.
•Write RF WIP/BUSY pin configuration command (WriteDOCfg):
The WriteDOCfg command is used to write the RF WIP/BUSY bit into the Configuration
byte.
After any write access to the Configuration byte, the new configuration is automatically
applied.
4.3.5 Control register access in I²C or RF mode
In I²C mode, read and write accesses to the volatile Control register are always allowed. To
access the Control register, the device select code used for any I²C command must have
the E2 Chip enable address at 1.
The dedicated commands to access the Control register in RF mode are:
•Check energy harvesting enable bit command (CheckEHEn):
The CheckEHEn command is used to read the eight bits of the Control register. When it is
run, the FIELD_ON bit is always read at 1.
•Set/reset energy harvesting enable bit command (SetRstEHEn):
The SetRstEHEn command is used to set or reset the value of the EH_enable bit into the
Control register.
4.4 ISO 15693 system parameters
The M24LR16E-R provides the system area required by the ISO 15693 RF protocol, as
shown in Table 17.
The first 32-bit block starting from I2C address 2304 stores the I2C password. This
password is used to activate/deactivate the write protection of the protected sector in I2C
mode. At power-on, all user memory sectors protected by the I2C_Write_Lock bits can be
read but cannot be modified. To remove the write protection, it is necessary to use the I2C
present password described in Figure 12. When the password is correctly presented — that
is, when all the presented bits correspond to the stored ones — it is also possible to modify
the I2C password using the I2C write password command described in Figure 13.
The next three 32-bit blocks store the three RF passwords. These passwords are neither
read- nor write- accessible in the I2C mode.
DocID018932 Rev 14 31/148
M24LR16E-R System memory area
147
The next byte stores the Configuration byte, at I²C location 2320. This Control register is
used to store the three energy harvesting configuration bits and the RF WIP/BUSY
configuration bit.
The next two bytes are used to store the AFI, at I2C location 2322, and the DSFID, at I2C
location 2323. These two values are used during the RF inventory sequence. They are
read-only in the I2C mode.
The next eight bytes, starting from location 2324, store the 64-bit UID programmed by ST on
the production line. Bytes at I2C locations 2332 to 2335 store the IC Ref and the Mem_Size
data used by the RF Get_System_Info command. The UID, Mem_Size and IC ref values are
read-only data.

I2C device operation M24LR16E-R
32/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
5 I2C device operation
The device supports the I2C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 4. Any device that sends
data to the bus is defined as a transmitter, and any device that reads data is defined as 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 also
provides the serial clock for synchronization. The M24LR16E-R device is a slave in all
communications.
5.1 Start condition
Start is identified by a falling edge of serial data (SDA) while the 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) the SDA and the SCL for a Start
condition, and does not respond unless one is given.
5.2 Stop condition
Stop is identified by a rising edge of serial data (SDA) while the 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 the serial data (SDA) after sending eight
bits of data. During the 9th clock pulse period, the receiver pulls the SDA low to
acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits.
5.4 Data input
During data input, the device samples serial data (SDA) on the rising edge of the serial clock
(SCL). For correct device operation, the SDA must be stable during the rising edge of the
SCL, and the SDA signal must change only when the SCL is driven low.
5.5 I²C timeout
During the execution of an I²C operation, RF communications are not possible.
To prevent RF communication freezing due to inadvertent unterminated instructions sent to
the I²C bus, the M24LR16E-R features a timeout mechanism that automatically resets the
I²C logic block.
DocID018932 Rev 14 33/148
M24LR16E-R I2C device operation
147
5.5.1 I²C timeout on Start condition
I²C communication with the M24LR16E-R starts with a valid Start condition, followed by a
device select code.
If the delay between the Start condition and the following rising edge of the Serial Clock
(SCL) that samples the most significant of the Device Select exceeds the tSTART_OUT time
(see Table 123), the I²C logic block is reset and further incoming data transfer is ignored
until the next valid Start condition.
Figure 7. I²C timeout on Start condition
5.5.2 I²C timeout on clock period
During data transfer on the I²C bus, the serial clock high pulse width High (tCHCL) or serial
clock pulse width Low (tCLCH) exceeds the maximum value specified in Table 123, the I²C
logic block is reset and any further incoming data transfer is ignored until the next valid Start
condition.
5.6 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 Table 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” (E2,1,1). To address the memory array, the 4-bit device type identifier is 1010b.
Refer to Table 2.
The eighth bit is the Read/Write bit (RW). It is set to 1 for Read and to 0 for Write operations.
If a match occurs on the device select code, the corresponding device gives an
acknowledgment on serial data (SDA) during the ninth bit time. If the device does not match
the device select code, it deselects itself from the bus, and goes into Standby mode.

M24LR16E-R I2C device operation
147
5.7 Write operations
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) reset to 0. The device acknowledges this, as shown in Figure 8, and waits for two
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 8.
Each data byte in the memory has a 16-bit (two byte wide) address. The most significant
byte (Table 3) is sent first, followed by the least significant byte (Table 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 tenth-
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.
After the Stop condition, the delay tW, and the successful completion of a Write operation,
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, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the
device does not respond to any requests.
5.8 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 the addressed location is not write-protected,
the device replies with Ack. The bus master terminates the transfer by generating a Stop
condition, as shown in Figure 9.
5.9 Page write
The Page write mode allows up to four 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 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 one to four 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 are 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.

Figure 10. Write cycle polling flowchart using ACK
5.10 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 (tw) is
shown in Table 123, 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 10, 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 is 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).

M24LR16E-R I2C device operation
147
5.11 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.
5.12 Random Address Read
A dummy write is first performed to load the address into this address counter (as shown in
Figure 11) but without sending a Stop condition. Then, the bus master sends another Start
condition, and repeats the device select code, with the Read/Write bit (RW) set to 1. The
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.
5.13 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 bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges
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 11, without acknowledging the byte.
5.14 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 11.
The output data come 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.
5.15 Acknowledge in Read mode
For all Read commands, the device waits, after each byte read, for an acknowledgment
during the ninth bit time. If the bus master does not drive Serial Data (SDA) low during this
time, the device terminates the data transfer and switches to its Standby mode.
I2C device operation M24LR16E-R
40/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
5.16 M24LR16E-R I2C password security
The M24LR16E-R controls I2C sector write access using the 32-bit-long I2C password and
the 64-bit I2C_Write_Lock bit area. The I2C password value is managed using two I2C
commands: I2C present password and I2C write password.
5.16.1 I2C present password command description
The I2C present password command is used in I2C mode to present the password to the
M24LR16E-R in order to modify the write access rights of all the memory sectors protected
by the I2C_Write_Lock bits, including the password itself. If the presented password is
correct, the access rights remain activated until the M24LR16E-R is powered off or until a
new I2C present password command is issued.
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) reset to 0 and the Chip Enable bit E2 at 1. The device acknowledges this, as shown
in Figure 12, and waits for two I2C password address bytes 09h and 00h. The device
responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for the four
password data bytes, the validation code, 09h, and a resend of the four password data
bytes. The most significant byte of the password is sent first, followed by the least significant
bytes.
It is necessary to send the 32-bit password twice to prevent any data corruption during the
sequence. If the two 32-bit passwords sent are not exactly the same, the M24LR16E-R
does not start the internal comparison.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (during the
tenth bit time slot), an internal delay equivalent to the write cycle time is triggered. A Stop
condition at any other time does not trigger the internal delay. During that delay, the
M24LR16E-R compares the 32 received data bits with the 32 bits of the stored I2C
password. If the values match, the write access rights to all protected sectors are modified
after the internal delay. If the values do not match, the protected sectors remains protected.
During the internal delay, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the device
does not respond to any requests.

5.16.2 I2C write password command description
The I2C write password command is used to write a 32-bit block into the M24LR16E-R I2C
password system area. This command is used in I2C mode to update the I2C password
value. It cannot be used to update any of the RF passwords. After the write cycle, the new
I2C password value is automatically activated. The I2C password value can only be modified
after issuing a valid I2C present password command.
On delivery, the I2C default password value is set to 0000 0000h and is activated.
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) reset to 0 and the Chip Enable bit E2 at 1. The device acknowledges this, as shown
in Figure 13, and waits for the two I2C password address bytes, 09h and 00h. The device
responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for the four
password data bytes, the validation code, 07h, and a resend of the four password data
bytes. The most significant byte of the password is sent first, followed by the least significant
bytes.
It is necessary to send twice the 32-bit password to prevent any data corruption during the
write sequence. If the two 32-bit passwords sent are not exactly the same, the M24LR16E-
R does not modify the I2C password value.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (during the
tenth bit time slot), the internal write cycle is triggered. A Stop condition at any other time
does not trigger the internal write cycle.
During the internal write cycle, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the
device does not respond to any requests.

M24LR16E-R RF device operation
147
7 RF device operation
The M24LR16E-R is divided into 16 sectors of 32 blocks of 32 bits, as shown in Table 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 M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R has three 32-bit blocks in which the password codes are stored and a 8-
bit Configuration byte in which the Energy harvesting mode and RF WIP/BUSY pin
configuration is stored.
7.1 RF communication and energy harvesting
Because current consumption can affect the AC signal delivered by the antenna, RF
communications with M24LR16E-R are not guaranteed during voltage delivery on the
energy harvesting analog output Vout.
RF communication can disturb and possibly stop Energy Harvesting mode.

vicinity integrated circuit card or VICC (M24LR16E-R) takes place as follows:
•activation of the M24LR16E-R by the RF operating field of the VCD,
•transmission of a command by the VCD,
•transmission of a response by the M24LR16E-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).
7.3.1 Power transfer
Power is transferred to the M24LR16E-R by radio frequency at 13.56 MHz via coupling
antennas in the M24LR16E-R and the VCD. The RF operating field of the VCD is
transformed on the M24LR16E-R antenna to an AC voltage which is rectified, filtered and
internally regulated.
During communications, the amplitude modulation (ASK) on this received signal is
demodulated by the ASK demodulator.
7.3.2 Frequency
The ISO 15693 standard defines the carrier frequency (fC) of the operating field as
13.56 MHz ±7 kHz.
7.3.3 Operating field
The M24LR16E-R operates continuously between the minimum and maximum values of the
electromagnetic field H defined in Table 125. The VCD has to generate a field within these
limits.

46/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
8 Communication signal from VCD to M24LR16E-R
Communications between the VCD and the M24LR16E-R takes place using the modulation
principle of ASK (Amplitude shift keying). Two modulation indexes are used, 10% and
100%. The M24LR16E-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” is created as described in Figure 14
and Figure 15.
The M24LR16E-R is operational for the 100% modulation index or for any degree of
modulation index between 10% and 30% (see Table 125).

Data rate and data coding M24LR16E-R
48/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
9 Data rate and data coding
The data coding implemented in the M24LR16E-R uses pulse position modulation. Both
data coding modes that are described in the ISO15693 are supported by the M24LR16E-R.
The selection is made by the VCD and indicated to the M24LR16E-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/fC) determines the value of the
byte. In this case, the transmission of one byte takes 4.833 ms and the resulting data rate is
1.65 Kbits/s (fC/8192).
Figure 16 illustrates this pulse position modulation technique. In this figure, data E1h (225
decimal) is sent by the VCD to the M24LR16E-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
transmits the data value FFh (255 decimal).

9.2 Data coding mode: 1 out of 4
The value of two bits is represented by the position of one pause. The position of the pause
on 1 of 4 successive time periods of 18.88 µs (256/fC) determines the value of the two bits.
Four successive pairs of bits form a byte, where the least significant pair of bits is
transmitted first.
In this case, the transmission of one byte takes 302.08 µs and the resulting data rate is
26.48 Kbits/s (fC/512). Figure 18 illustrates the 1 out of 4 pulse position technique and
coding. Figure 19 shows the transmission of E1h (225d - 1110 0001b) by the VCD.

9.3 VCD to M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R is ready to receive a new command frame from the VCD 311.5 µs after
sending a response frame to the VCD.
The M24LR16E-R takes a power-up time of 0.1 ms after being activated by the powering
field. After this delay, the M24LR16E-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.

10 Communication signal from M24LR16E-R to VCD
The M24LR16E-R has several modes defined for some parameters, owing to which it can
operate in various noise environments and meet various application requirements.
10.1 Load modulation
The M24LR16E-R is capable of communication to the VCD via an inductive coupling area
whereby the carrier is loaded to generate a subcarrier with frequency fS. The subcarrier is
generated by switching a load in the M24LR16E-R.
The load-modulated amplitude received on the VCD antenna must be of at least 10 mV
when measured as described in the test methods defined in International Standard
ISO10373-7.
10.2 Subcarrier
The M24LR16E-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 fS1 of the subcarrier load modulation is 423.75 kHz (fC/32).
When two subcarriers are used, the frequency fS1 is 423.75 kHz (fC/32), and frequency fS2
is 484.28 kHz (fC/28). When using the two-subcarrier mode, the M24LR16E-R generates a
continuous phase relationship between fS1 and fS2.
10.3 Data rates
The M24LR16E-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. For fast
commands, the selected data rate is multiplied by two. Table 20 shows the different data
rates produced by the M24LR16E-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 increase by this factor. For the Fast
commands using one subcarrier, all pulse numbers and times are divided by 2.

15 Data storage format identifier (DSFID)
The data storage format identifier indicates how the data is structured in the M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R is calculated as per the definition in ISO/IEC 13239. The
initial register contents are all ones: “FFFF”.
The two-byte CRC is 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 M24LR16E-R verifies that the CRC value is
valid. If it is invalid, the M24LR16E-R discards the frame and does not answer to the VCD.
Upon reception of a response from the M24LR16E-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.

16 M24LR16E-R protocol description
The transmission protocol (or simply “the protocol”) defines the mechanism used to
exchange instructions and data between the VCD and the M24LR16E-R in both directions.
It is based on the concept of “VCD talks first”.
This means that an M24LR16E-R does 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 M24LR16E-R,
•a response from the M24LR16E-R to the VCD.
Each request and each response are contained in a frame. The frame delimiters (SOF,
EOF) are described in Section 12.
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 and 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.

17 M24LR16E-R states
An M24LR16E-R can be in one of four states:
•Power-off
•Ready
•Quiet
•Selected
Transitions between these states are specified in Figure 49 and Table 25.
17.1 Power-off state
The M24LR16E-R is in the Power-off state when it does not receive enough energy from the
VCD.
17.2 Ready state
The M24LR16E-R is in the Ready state when it receives enough energy from the VCD.
When in the Ready state, the M24LR16E-R answers any request where the Select_flag is
not set.
17.3 Quiet state
When in the Quiet state, the M24LR16E-R answers any request except for Inventory
requests with the Address_flag set.
17.4 Selected state
In the Selected state, the M24LR16E-R answers any request in all modes (see Section 18):
•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 M24LR16E-R
68/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
18 Modes
The term “mode” refers to the mechanism used in a request to specify the set of
M24LR16E-Rs that answers 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 M24LR16E-R.
Any M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-
R Unique ID. The M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-Rs in the Selected state answer a request where the Select_flag set to 1.
The system design ensures in theory that only one M24LR16E-R can be in the Select state
at a time.

M24LR16E-R Anticollision
147
21 Anticollision
The purpose of the anticollision sequence is to inventory the M24LR16E-Rs present in the
VCD field using their unique ID (UID).
The VCD is the master of communications with one or several M24LR16E-Rs. It initiates
M24LR16E-R communication by issuing the Inventory request.
The M24LR16E-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 are 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.
In the example provided in Table 34 and Figure 50, the mask length is 11 bits. Five 0-bits
are added to the mask value MSB. The 11-bit mask and the current slot number are
compared to the UID.

Figure 50. Principle of comparison between the mask, the slot number and the UID
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 request EOF is received. To switch to the next slot,
the VCD sends an EOF.
The following rules and restrictions apply:
•If no M24LR16E-R answer is detected, the VCD may switch to the next slot by sending
an EOF.
•If one or more M24LR16E-R answers are detected, the VCD waits until the complete
frame has been received before sending an EOF for switching to the next slot.

23 Explanation of the possible cases
Figure 51 summarizes the main possible cases that can occur during an anticollision
sequence when the number of slots is 16.
The sequence of steps is as follows:
•The VCD sends an Inventory request, in a frame terminated by an EOF. The number of
slots is 16.
•M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-Rs, M24LR16E-R_2 and M24LR16E-R_3 transmit a
response, thus generating a collision. The VCD records the event and registers 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 M24LR16E-R transmits a response. Therefore the VCD does not detect
any M24LR16E-R SOF and switches to the next slot by sending an EOF.
•In Slot 3, another collision occurs due to responses from M24LR16E-R_4 and
M24LR16E-R_5.
•The VCD sends a request (for instance a Read Block) to M24LR16E-R_1 whose UID
has already been correctly received.
•All M24LR16E-Rs detect an SOF and exit the anticollision sequence. They process this
request and since the request is addressed to M24LR16E-R_1, only M24LR16E-R_1
transmits a response.
•All M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R_1.

Inventory Initiated command M24LR16E-R
78/148 DocID018932 Rev 14
24 Inventory Initiated command
The M24LR16E-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 are initiated by the
Initiate command. In this case, a small batch of tags answers to the Inventory Initiated
command, which optimizes 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 M24LR16E-Rs to increase their
response data rate by a factor of 2, up to 53 Kbit/s.

M24LR16E-R Timing definition
147
25 Timing definition
25.1 t1: M24LR16E-R response delay
Upon detection of the rising edge of the EOF received from the VCD, the M24LR16E-R
waits for a time t1nom before transmitting its response to a VCD request or switching to the
next slot during an inventory process. Values of t1 are given in Table 35. The EOF is defined
in Figure 22.
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 M24LR16E-R responses have been received during an Inventory command. It starts
from the reception of the EOF from the M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R.
t2 is also the time after which the VCD may send a new request to the M24LR16E-R, as
described in Figure 48.
Values of t2 are given in Table 35.
25.3 t3: VCD new request delay when no response is received
from the M24LR16E-R
t3 is the time after which the VCD may send an EOF to switch to the next slot when no
M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R.
From the time the VCD has generated the rising edge of an EOF:
•If this EOF is 100% modulated, the VCD waits for a time at least equal to t3min before
sending a new EOF.
•If this EOF is 10% modulated, the VCD waits for a time at least equal to the sum of
t3min + the M24LR16E-R nominal response time (which depends on the M24LR16E-R
data rate and subcarrier modulation mode) before sending a new EOF.

2. t1max does not apply for write-alike requests. Timing conditions for write-alike requests are defined in the
command description.
3. tSOF is the time taken by the M24LR16E-R to transmit an SOF to the VCD. tSOF depends on the current
data rate: High data rate or Low data rate.

M24LR16E-R Command codes

26.1 Inventory
When receiving the Inventory request, the M24LR16E-R runs the anticollision sequence.
The Inventory_flag is set to 1. The meaning of flags 5 to 8 is shown in Table 29.
The request contains:
•the flags,
•the Inventory command code (see Table 36),
•the AFI if the AFI flag is set,
•the mask length,
•the mask value,
•the CRC.
The M24LR16E-R does not generate any answer in case of error.
The response contains:
•the flags,
•the Unique ID.
During an Inventory process, if the VCD does not receive an RF M24LR16E-R response, it
waits for a time t3 before sending an EOF to switch to the next slot. t3 starts from the rising
edge of the request EOF sent by the VCD.
•If the VCD sends a 100% modulated EOF, the minimum value of t3 is:
t3min = 4384/fC (323.3µs) + tSOF
•If the VCD sends a 10% modulated EOF, the minimum value of t3 is:
t3min = 4384/fC (323.3µs) + tNRT
where:
•tSOF is the time required by the M24LR16E-R to transmit an SOF to the VCD,
•tNRT is the nominal response time of the M24LR16E-R.
tNRT and tSOF are dependent on the M24LR16E-R-to-VCD data rate and subcarrier
modulation mode.
When configured in the RF busy mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 from the SOF
starting the inventory command to the end of the M24LR16E-R response. If the M24LR16E-
R does not receive the corresponding slot marker, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains at 0 until
the next RF power-off.

26.2 Stay Quiet
Command code = 0x02
On receiving the Stay Quiet command, the M24LR16E-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 M24LR16E-R does not process any request if the Inventory_flag is set,
•the M24LR16E-R processes any Addressed request.
The M24LR16E-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.
The Stay Quiet command must always be executed in Addressed mode (Select_flag is reset
to 0 and Address_flag is set to 1).
When configured in the RF busy mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 during the Stay
Quiet command.
When configured in the RF write in progress mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains in high-Z
state.

26.5 Read Multiple Block
When receiving the Read Multiple Block command, the M24LR16E-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 1FFh 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, seven 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 M24LR16E-R returns an error code.
The Protocol_extension_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR16E-R to operate correctly. If
the Protocol_extension_flag is at 0, the M24LR16E-R answers with an error code. The
Option_flag is supported.

When configured in the RF write in progress mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is tied to 0 for the
duration of the internal write cycle (from the end of a valid Write sector password command
to the beginning of the M24LR16E-R response).
26.15 Lock-sector
On receiving the Lock-sector command, the M24LR16E-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 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 command as all the blocks belonging to the same sector are automatically locked by
a single command.
The Protocol_extension_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR16E-R to operate correctly. If
the Protocol_extension_flag is at 0, the M24LR16E-R answers with an error code.
During the RF write cycle Wt, there should be no modulation (neither 100% nor 10%),
otherwise, the M24LR16E-R may not correctly lock the memory block. The Wt time is equal
to t1nom + 18 × 302 µs.

26.16 Present-sector Password
On receiving the Present-sector Password command, the M24LR16E-R compares the
requested password with the data contained in the request and reports whether the
operation has been successful in the response. The Option_flag is supported.
During the comparison cycle equal to Wt, there should be no modulation (neither 100% nor

26.18 Fast Inventory Initiated
Before receiving the Fast Inventory Initiated command, the M24LR16E-R must have
received an Initiate or a Fast Initiate command in order to set the Initiate_ flag. If not, the
M24LR16E-R does not answer to the Fast Inventory Initiated command.
The subcarrier_flag should be set to 0, otherwise the M24LR16E-R answers with an error
code.
On receiving the Fast Inventory Initiated request, the M24LR16E-R runs the anticollision
sequence. The Inventory_flag must be set to 1. The meaning of flags 5 to 8 is shown in
Table 29. The data rate of the response is multiplied by 2.
The request contains:
•the flags,
•the Inventory command code,
•the AFI if the AFI flag is set,
•the mask length,
•the mask value,
•the CRC.
The M24LR16E-R does not generate any answer in case of error.

The Response contains:
•the flags,
•the Unique ID.
During an Inventory process, if the VCD does not receive an RF M24LR16E-R response, it
waits for a time t3 before sending an EOF to switch to the next slot. t3 starts from the rising
edge of the request EOF sent by the VCD.
•If the VCD sends a 100% modulated EOF, the minimum value of t3 is:
t3min = 4384/fC (323.3µs) + tSOF
•If the VCD sends a 10% modulated EOF, the minimum value of t3 is:
t3min = 4384/fC (323.3µs) + tNRT
where:
•tSOF is the time required by the M24LR16E-R to transmit an SOF to the VCD
•tNRT is the nominal response time of the M24LR16E-R
tNRT and tSOF are dependent on the M24LR16E-R-to-VCD data rate and subcarrier
modulation mode.
When configured in the RF busy mode, the RF WIP/BUSY pin is driven to 0 from the SOF
starting the inventory command to the end of the M24LR16E-R response.If the M24LR16E-
R does not receive the corresponding slot marker, the RF WIP/BUSY pin remains at 0 till the
next RF power-off.

26.20 Fast Read Multiple Block
On receiving the Fast Read Multiple Block command, the M24LR16E-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 1FFh 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, seven blocks are read. The
maximum number of blocks is fixed to 32 assuming that they are all located in the same
sector. If the number of blocks overlaps sectors, the M24LR16E-R returns an error code.
The Protocol_extension_flag should be set to 1 for the M24LR16E-R to operate correctly. If
the Protocol_extension_flag is at 0, the M24LR16E-R answers with an error code.
The Option_flag is supported. The data rate of the response is multiplied by 2.
The subcarrier_flag should be set to 0, otherwise the M24LR16E-R answers with an error

The following pseudocode describes how anticollision could be implemented on the VCD,
using recursivity.
A.1 Algorithm for pulsed slots
function push (mask, address); pushes on private stack
function pop (mask, address); pops from private stack
function pulse_next_pause; generates a power pulse
function store(M24LR16E-R_UID); stores M24LR16E-R_UID
function poll_loop (sub_address_size as integer)
pop (mask, address)
mask = address & mask; generates new mask
; send the request
mode = anticollision
send_Request (Request_cmd, mode, mask length, mask value)
for sub_address = 0 to (2^sub_address_size - 1)
pulse_next_pause
if no_collision_is_detected ; M24LR16E-R is inventoried
then
store (M24LR16E-R_UID)
else ; remember a collision was detected
push(mask,address)
endif
next sub_address
if stack_not_empty ; if some collisions have been detected and
then ; not yet processed, the function calls itself
poll_loop (sub_address_size); recursively to process the
last stored collision

M24LR16E-R CRC (informative)
147
Appendix B CRC (informative)
B.1 CRC error detection method
The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is calculated on all data contained in a message, from
the start of the flags through to the end of Data. The CRC is used from VCD to M24LR16E-
R and from M24LR16E-R to VCD.
To add extra protection against shifting errors, a further transformation on the calculated
CRC is made. The one’s complement of the calculated CRC is the value attached to the
message for transmission.
To check received messages, the two CRC bytes are often also included in the re-
calculation, for ease of use. In this case, the expected value for the generated CRC is the
residue F0B8h.
B.2 CRC calculation example
This example in C language illustrates one method of calculating the CRC on a given set of
bytes comprising a message.
C-example to calculate or check the CRC16 according to ISO/IEC 13239
#define POLYNOMIAL0x8408// x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1
#define PRESET_VALUE0xFFFF
#define CHECK_VALUE0xF0B8
#define NUMBER_OF_BYTES4// Example: 4 data bytes
#define CALC_CRC1
#define CHECK_CRC0

{
unsigned int current_crc_value;
unsigned char array_of_databytes[NUMBER_OF_BYTES + 2] = {1, 2, 3,
4, 0x91, 0x39};

int calculate_or_check_crc;
int i, j;
calculate_or_check_crc = CALC_CRC;

example

M24LR16E-R Application family identifier (AFI) (informative)
147
Appendix C Application family identifier (AFI)
(informative)
The AFI (application family identifier) represents the type of application targeted by the VCD
and is used to extract from all the M24LR16E-Rs present only the M24LR16E-R meeting the
required application criteria.
It is programmed by the M24LR16E-R issuer (the purchaser of the M24LR16E-R). Once
locked, it cannot be modified.
The most significant nibble of the AFI is used to code one specific or all application families,
as defined in Table 134.
The least significant nibble of the AFI is used to code one specific or all application
subfamilies. Subfamily codes different from 0 are proprietary.
