1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Scope
This document describes the functionality of the SL RC400. It includes the functional and electrical
specifications and gives details on how to design-in this device from system and hardware viewpoint.
1.2 General Description
The SL RC400 is member of a new family of highly integrated reader ICs for contactless communication at
13.56 MHz. This new reader IC family utilises an outstanding modulation and demodulation concept
completely integrated for all kinds of passive contactless communication methods and protocols at
13.56 MHz.
The SL RC400 supports all layers of I•CODE1 and ISO 15693.
The internal transmitter part is able to drive an antenna designed for proximity operating distance (up to
100 mm) directly without additional active circuitry.
The receiver part provides a robust and efficient implementation of a demodulation and decoding circuitry for
signals from I•CODE1 and ISO 15693 compatible transponders.
The digital part handles I•CODE1 and ISO 15693 framing and error detection (CRC).
A comfortable parallel interface which can be directly connected to any 8-bit µ-Processor gives high flexibility
for the reader/terminal design.
