1. General
Texas Instruments’ Series 6400 Evaluation Kit is designed to help the user explore
the advanced capabilities of the 6400 Series Access Control Reader family in
conjunction with TI-RFid’s ISO/IEC 15693 compliant badges.
The Series 6400 readers are ISO/IEC 15693 compliant, and are therefore compatible
with Tag-it™ HF-I badges, as well as other ISO/IEC 15693 compliant tags and
cards.
S6400 Reader Family
Information stored on an ISO/IEC 15693 compliant badge is organized into 64
blocks, each containing 4 bytes of data. (1 byte = 1 ASCII character.) Blocks can
be programmed, re-programmed, viewed, and locked to prevent reprogramming.
The following are just a few of the RFID operations (and their ISO/IEC 15693
equivalent commands) that can be performed on cards and tags with this kit:
• Identify (Inventory) All Cards in field.
• View (Read) One Block of data on card.
• View Many (Read Multiple) Blocks of data at once.
• Program (Write) One Block of data on card.
