1. Description  
Summary  
The ATA5577 is a contactless read/write
id
entification
IC
(IDIC

®

) for applications in  
the 125-kHz or 134-kHz frequency band. A single coil connected to the chip serves as  
the IC’s power supply and bi-directional communication interface. The antenna and  
chip together form a transponder or tag.  
The on-chip 363-bit EEPROM (11 blocks with 33 bits each) can be read and written  
block-wise from a base station (reader).  
Data is transmitted from the IDIC (uplink) using load modulation. This is achieved by  
damping the RF field with a resistive load between the two terminals Coil 1 and Coil 2.  
The IC receives and decodes serial base station commands (downlink), which are  
encoded as 100% amplitude modulated (OOK) pulse-interval-encoded bit streams.  
A complete datasheet with further technical data is available on request. Please con-  
tact your local sales office.  
NOTE:
This is a summary document.  
The complete document is available.  
For more information, please contact  
your local Atmel sales office.

2. Compatibility  
The ATA5577 is designed to be compatible with the T5557/ATA5567. The structure of the con-  
figuration register is identical. The two modes, Basic mode and Extended mode, are also  
available. The ATA5577 is able to replace the e5551/T5551 in most common operation modes.  
In all applications, the correct functionality of the replacements must be evaluated and proved.

ATA5577  
4.1  
Analog Front End (AFE)  
The AFE includes all circuits that are directly connected to the coil terminals. It generates the  
IC’s power supply and handles the bi-directional data communication with the reader. It consists  
of the following blocks:  
• Rectifier to generate a DC supply voltage from the AC coil voltage  
• Clock extractor  
• Switchable load between Coil 1 and Coil 2 for data transmission from the tag to the reader  
• Field-gap detector for data transmission from the base station to the tag  
• ESD-protection circuitry  
4.2  
4.3  
Data-rate Generator  
The data rate is binary programmable to operate at any even-numbered data rate between RF/2  
and RF/128 or to any of the fixed Basic mode data rates (RF/8, RF/16, RF/32, RF/40, RF/50,  
RF/64, RF/100 and RF/128).  
Write Decoder  
The write decoder detects the write gaps and verifies the validity of the data stream according to  
the Atmel e555x downlink protocol (pulse interval encoding).  
4.4  
4.5  
HV Generator  
DC Supply  
This on-chip charge pump circuit generates the high voltage required to program the EEPROM.  
Power is externally supplied to the IDIC via the two coil connections. The IC rectifies and regu-  
lates this RF source and uses it to generate its supply voltage.  
4.6  
Power-On Reset (POR)  
The power-on reset circuit blocks the voltage supply to the IDIC until an acceptable voltage  
threshold has been reached.  
4.7  
4.8  
Clock Extraction  
The clock extraction circuit uses the external RF signal as its internal clock source.  
Controller  
The control logic module executes the following functions:  
• Load mode register with configuration data from EEPROM block 0 after power-on and during  
reading  
• Load option register with the settings for the analog front end stored in EEPROM page 1  
block 3 after power-on and during reading  
• Control all EEPROM memory read/write access and data protection  
• Handles the downlink command decoding detecting protocol violations and error conditions

4967DS–RFID–10/08  

4.9  
Mode Register  
The mode register maintains a readable shadow copy of the configuration data held in block 0 of  
the EEPROM. It is continually refreshed during read mode and (re-)loaded after every POR  
event or reset command. On delivery, the mode register is pre-programmed with default values  
(see full version of the datasheet).  
4.10 Modulator  
4.11 Memory  
The modulator encodes the serialized EEPROM data for transmission to a tag reader or base  
station. Several types of modulation are available including Manchester, bi-phase, FSK, PSK,  
and NRZ.

Not transmitted  
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. Pro-  
gramming 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 8 blocks and page 1 contains 4 blocks. All 33 bits of a block, including the lock bit, are  
programmed simultaneously.

ATA5577  
4967DS–RFID–10/08  

ATA5577  
Block 0 of page 0 contains the mode/configuration data, which is not transmitted during regular  
read 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 write-protection password.  
Block 3 of page 1 contains the option register, which is not transmitted during regular-read  
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.  
The traceability data blocks are programmed and locked by Atmel.
