1 General description

ICODE 3 is the next generation of the ICODE product family of 13.56 MHz based vicinity label ICs. ICODE 3

overcomes some known challenges in RFID solution design and industrialization process. ICODE 3 combines

native NFC features with the increased read range of ISO/IEC 15693-based tags. SL2S3003TT is the ICODE 3

version with TagTamper feature, and SL2S3003 is the version without TagTamper.

Fully backward-compatible with SLIX 2, the ICODE 3 supports improved performance and new features:

• SELFAdjust

• Fast read with up to 212 kbit/s

• Configurable 24-bit counter

• ASCII mirror feature option

• One-shot read-only memory lock

• Extra configuration memory with optional password protection

• Programmable originality signature with 32 bytes or 48 bytes

• 2.4 kbit user memory size

• Flexible user memory segmentation with separate access conditions

• TagTamper feature with current and stored status (only SL2S3003TT)

2 Features and benefits

2.1 ICODE 3 RF interface (ISO/IEC 15693)

• SELFAdjust feature for optimal RF performance

The ICODE 3 has an automatic mechanism implemented which adjusts the RF performance to the optimum in

the operated environment. The adjustment is performed at start-up.

• Contactless transmission of data and power (no battery needed)

• Operating distance of up to 1.5 m (depending on the antenna geometry)

• Operating frequency of 13.56 MHz (ISM, worldwide license freely available)

• Fast data transfer of up to 212 kbit/s

• High data integrity: 16-bit CRC, framing

• True anticollision feature

• Persistent quiet mode to enable faster inventory speed

• Write distance equal to read distance

2.2 EEPROM

• 2432 bits of user memory organized in 76 blocks of 4 bytes each. The last block is reserved for the 24-bit

counter feature.

• 50 years of data retention

• Write endurance of 100000 cycles

2.3 Data protection

• 8-byte unique identifier

• 32-byte or 48-byte programmable originality signature

• Lock mechanism for each user memory block (write protection), and lock protection pointer for fast locking

• Lock mechanism for DSFID, AFI, EAS

• Password (32-bit) protected memory management for Read access

• Password (32-bit) protected memory management for Write access

• Password (32-bit) protected label Destroy

• Password (32-bit) protected privacy mode

• Password (32-bit) protected EAS and AFI functionality

• Password (32-bit) protected memory configuration

• 24-bit counter (NFC counter, or command-based counter with optional password protection)

• Programmable open TagTamper message only visible after the detection of the first open event

3 Applications

• Product identification

• Product tracking and tracing

• Counterfeit and tamper protection

• Inventory management

• Smart-device consumable system communication

• Augmented mobile interaction
