September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide 2.1 General Specification This chapter describes the electrical and mechanical specifications of the S6350 RI-STU-TRDC-02 reader. Operating at a frequency of 13.56 MHz, this low profile, low power device is designed to be easily integrated into many systems as an embedded device. All reader I/O is accomplished through the use of a 16-pin header connector (labeled as CN1), to include all communication, which is asynchronous RS232 as controlled by a host system.
September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide 2.1.4 Required Antenna Parameters 50Ω ± 5Ω at 13.56 MHz 10 < Q < 30 Impedance Loaded Q 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.
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. 2.1.

September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide 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.

September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide 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.

September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide Reader Type Example Response packet 01 0C 00 00 00 00 F0 40 01 07 BB 44hex The version number is 1.4 The reader type response can be defined as follows: Type 07 = Indicates that the reader has been successfully loaded with the noted application firmware version number (in this example, version 1.4).
September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide The response packet is similar to the request packet with the data section containing ‘00hex ’ for a successful write operation. Example Response packet 01 0A 00 00 00 00 F2 00 F9 06hex Write successful. RF Carrier on/off Command (F4hex) Switches the RF carrier on or off. The data section contains one byte FFhex to turn the carrier on or 00hex to turn the carrier off. Example Switch the carrier on.
September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide 3.2.3 ISO/IEC FCD 15693 Part 3 Transmission Protocol TM In addition to supporting the Tag-it protocol outlined within the preceding section, the S6350 Mid-Range HF-I Reader complies with the standard RF interface and transmission protocol of ISO/IEC IS 15693-2 & 3. Please note that each of the ISO protocol command and response packets outlined within the following sections are contained within the standard reader protocol as outlined within Section 3.1.
September 2001 S6350 Reader Reference Guide 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.
