1. Description
The Atmel ATA5551 is a completely programmable R/W transponder which imple-
ments all important functions for identification systems, including anti-collision
(e.g., 10 transponders in < 500ms depending on the application). It allows the contact-
less reading and writing of data which are transmitted bi-directionally between a
read/write base station and the transponder. It is a plastic-packaged device which
accommodates the IDIC e5551 and also the antenna realized as an LC-circuit. No
additional external power supply is necessary for the transponder because it receives
power from the RF field generated by the base station. Data are transmitted by modu-
lating the amplitude of the RF field. The Atmel ATA5551 can be used to adjust and
modify the ID code or any other stored data, e.g., rolling code systems. The on-chip
264-bit EEPROM (8 blocks, 33 bits per block) can be read and written block wise from
the base station. The blocks can be protected against overwriting. One block is
reserved for setting the operation modes of the IC. Another block can obtain a pass-
word to prevent unauthorized writing.
