ISO/IEC 14443 Type B-Compliant
1Kb Memory Fob
MAX620
General Description
Features
The MAX66020 combines 1024 bits of user EEPROM, a
64-bit unique identifier (UID), and a 13.56MHz RF inter-
face (ISO/IEC 14443 Type B, Parts 2-4) in a plastic key
fob. The memory is organized as 16 blocks of 8 bytes
plus two more blocks for data and control registers.
Four adjacent user EEPROM blocks form a memory
page (pages 0 to 3). Memory protection features are
write protection and EPROM emulation, which the user
can set for each individual memory page. Memory
access is accomplished through the block transmission
protocol (ISO/IEC 14443-4), where requests and
responses are exchanged through I-blocks once a
device is in the ACTIVE state. The data rate can be as
high as 847.5kbps. The reader must support a frame
size of 19 bytes. The device supports an application
family identifier (AFI) and a card identifier (CID).
ISO/IEC 14443 functions not supported are chaining,
frame-waiting time extension, and power indication.
