4.5.1 TAG MEMORY
A tag memory is divided into 4 banks as below:
Reserved Memory:
This area of memory holds the tag’s passwords:
A 32-bit “Kill” password that allows a Tag to be permanently silenced.
- The default Kill password value is zero.
- The Kill command will only execute if the password has been set, i.e. is non-zero.
A 32-bit “Access” password that allows the Tag to transition to the Secured state.
- A Tag in the Secured state can execute all Access commands, including writing to
locked blocks.
Reserved memory can be read-locked.
EPC Memory:
This memory includes three partitions:
A 16-bit CRC
- The actual data is the 1’s complement of the published CRC-16 definition.
A 16-bit Protocol Control (PC)
- 5 bits is for the length of PC + EPC.
- 2 bits is RFU (00

TM
header or an AFI as defined in ISO 15961.
An EPC (includes Header, General Manager Number, Object Class and Serial Number)
- The electronic product code of the object to which the Tag is attached.
