The memory is a 363-bit EEPROM, which is arranged in 11 blocks of 33 bits each. Each block includes a single lock bit,
which is responsible for write-protecting the associated block. Programming takes place on a block basis, so a
complete block (including lock bit) can be programmed with a single command. The memory is subdivided into two
page areas. Page 0 contains eight blocks, and page 1 contains three blocks. All 33 bits of a block, including the lock bit, are
programmed simultaneously.
Block 0 of page 0 contains the mode/configuration data, which is not transmitted during regular-read mode operations.
Addressing block 0 will always affect block 0 of page 0 regardless of the page selector. Block 7 of page 0 may be used as
a protection password.
Block 3 of page 1 contains the analog front end option register, which is also not transmitted during regular-read mode
operation.
Bit 0 of every block is the lock bit for that block. Once locked, the block (including the lock bit itself) is not re-
programmable via the RF field.
Blocks 1 and 2 of page 1 contain traceability data and are transmitted with the modulation parameters defined in the
configuration register after the opcode “11” is issued by the reader (see Figure 5-10 on page 19 and Figure 5-11 on page 19).
The traceability data blocks are programmed and locked by Atmel®.
