Description The Atmel(R) ATA5577C is a contactless read/write IDentification IC (IDIC(R)) for applications in the 125kHz or 134kHz 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. 2. Compatibility The Atmel ATA5577C is designed to be compatible with the Atmel T5557/ATA5567. The structure of the configuration register is identical. The two modes, basic mode and extended mode, are also available. The Atmel ATA5577C is able to replace the Atmel e5551/T5551 in most common operation modes. In all applications, the correct functionality of the replacements must be evaluated and proved. For further details, refer to the Atmel web site for product-relevant application notes.

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 4.2 Clock extractor Switchable load between Coil1 and Coil2 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 AFE Option Register The option register maintains a readable shadow copy of the data held in the EEPROM block 3, page 1. This contains the analog front end's level and threshold settings, as well as enhanced downlink protocol selection with which the device can be fine tuned for perfect operation and all application environments. It is continually refreshed during read-mode operation and (re)-loaded after every power-on reset (POR) event or reset command. By default, the option register is pre-programmed according to Table 10-1 on page 39. 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). 4.4 Write Decoder The write decoder detects the write gaps and verifies the validity of the data stream according to the Atmel(R) e555x downlink protocol (pulse interval encoding). 4 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 4.5 HV Generator This on-chip charge pump circuit generates the high voltage required to program the EEPROM. 4.6 DC Supply Power is supplied to the IDIC externally via the two coil connections. The IC rectifies and regulates this RF source, and uses it to generate its supply voltage. 4.7 Power-On Reset (POR) The power-on reset (POR) circuit blocks the voltage supply to the IDIC until an acceptable voltage threshold has been reached. 4.8 Clock Extraction The clock extraction circuit uses the external RF signal as its internal clock source. 4.9 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 4.10 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 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 according to Table 10-1 on page 39. 4.11 Modulator 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. ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 5 4.12 Memory Page 0 Page 1 Figure 4-2.

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 reprogrammable 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(R). 6 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 4.13 Traceability Data Structure/Unique ID Blocks 1 and 2 of page 1 contain the traceability data and are programmed and locked by Atmel(R) during production testing (1). The most significant byte of block 1 is fixed to E0h, the allocation class (ACL). as defined in ISO/IEC 15963-1. The second byte is, therefore, defined in ISO/IEC 7816-6 as Atmel manufacturer ID (15h). The following 5 bits indicate chip ID (CID - "00001b" for Atmel ATA5577M1, and "00010" for Atmel ATA5577M2), and the next bits (IC revision, ICR) are used by Atmel for the IC and/or foundry version of the Atmel ATA5577C. The lower 40 bits of data encode Atmel's traceability information, and conform to a unique numbering system (unique ID). These 40 data bits contain the lot ID (year, quarter, number), wafer number (Wafer#), and die number of the wafer (DW). Note: 1. This is only valid for sawn wafer on foil delivery. Figure 4-3.

To prevent this, several soft modulation settings can be chosen for a soft transition into the modulation state. Soft modulation should only be used in combination with modulation schemes and data rates which do not involve high frequency-modulation changes. Table 5-4. Bit 5-7 (bl3 p1) 000 010 100 110 111 Description No soft modulation One pulse weak One pulse strong Two pulses Smooth clamp 5.3 Soft Modulation Switching Scheme 75% 50% damp Demodulation Delay Soft modulation will cause imbalance in modulated and unmodulated phases. Depending on the soft modulation setting, the unmodulated phase can be longer than the modulated phase. To balance out this mismatch, the switch point from the modulated to the unmodulated phase can be delayed for one or two pulses. These delays and soft modulation switching should only be used in combination with modulation schemes and data rates which do not involve high frequency-modulation changes. Table 5-5. Demodulation Delay Scheme Bits 19 and 20 (bl3 p1) Description mod 00 No demodulation delay C1-C2 mod Demodulation delay one pulse C1-C2 01 mod 10 10 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 C1-C2 Demodulation delay two pulses 5.4 Write Damping Reader-to-tag communication is initialized by sending a start gap from the reader station. To ease gap detection with respect to detecting subsequent field gaps reliably, receive damping and low attenuation are activated by default. Especially in combination with high quality coils, a higher attenuation factor can be switched on to fasten the relaxation time. Using antenna coils with low Q-factor might make it feasible to switch off the write damping. This results in better energy balance and, therefore, improved write distance. 5.5 Initialization and Init-Delay The power-on reset (POR) circuit remains active until an adequate voltage threshold has been reached. This, in turn, triggers the default initialization delay sequence. During this configuration period of about 192 field clocks, the Atmel(R) ATA5577C is initialized with the configuration data stored in EEPROM block 0 and with the options stored in block 3, page 1. Tag modulation in regular-read mode will be observed about 3ms after entering the RF field. If the init-delay bit is set, the Atmel ATA5577C variant with damping during initialization remains in a permanent damping state for t ~ 69ms at f = 125kHz. The Atmel ATA5577C variant without damping will start modulation after t ~ 69ms without damping. Init delay = 0: TINIT = 192 TC + TPOR ~ 3ms; TC = 8s at f = 125kHz (TPOR denotes delay for POR and depends on environmental conditions) Init delay = 1: TINIT = (192 + 8192) TC + TPOR ~ 69ms Any field gap occurring during this initialization phase will restart the complete sequence. After this initialization time, the Atmel ATA5577C enters regular-read mode, and modulation starts automatically using the parameters defined in the configuration register. 5.6 Modulator in Basic Mode The modulator consists of data encoders for the following types of modulation in Basic mode: Table 5-6. Mode Types of Modulation in Basic Mode Direct Data Output (1) FSK1a FSK/8 - FSK/5 0 = RF/8 1 = RF/5 FSK2a(1) FSK/8 - FSK/10 0 = RF/8 1 = RF/10 (1) FSK/5 - FSK/8 0 = RF/5 1 = RF/8 (1) FSK/10 - FSK/ 8 0 = RF/10 1 = RF/8 (2) PSK1 Phase change when input changes PSK2(2) Phase change on bit clock if input high FSK1 FSK2 (2) PSK3 Phase change on rising edge of input Manchester 0 = falling edge, 1 = rising edge Bi-phase 1 creates an additional mid-bit change NRZ Notes: 1 = damping on, 0 = damping off 1. A common multiple of bit rate and FSK frequencies is recommended. 2. In PSK mode the selected data rate has to be an integer multiple of the PSK sub carrier frequency. 5.7 Maxblock After entering regular-read mode, the Atmel ATA5577C transmits the data content starting with block 1. The MAXBLK setting defines how many data blocks will be transmitted. ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 11 5.8 Password When password mode is active (PWD = 1), the first 32 bits after the opcode are regarded as the password. They are compared bit by bit with the contents of block 7, starting at bit 1. If the comparison fails, the Atmel ATA5577C will not program the memory. Instead it will restart in regular-read mode once the command transmission is finished. Note: In password mode, MAXBLK should be set to a value lower than 7 to prevent the password from being transmitted by the Atmel ATA5577C. Each transmission of the direct access command (2 opcode bits, 32-bit password, "0" bit, plus 3 address bits = 38 bits) needs about 18ms. Testing all possible combinations (about 4.3 billion) would take about two years. 5.9 Answer-On-Request (AOR) Mode When the AOR bit in the configuration register is set, the Atmel(R) ATA5577C does not start modulation in the regular-read mode after loading configuration block 0. The tag waits for a valid AOR data stream (wake-up command) from the reader before modulation is enabled. The wake-up command consists of the opcode ("10" or "11") followed by a valid password. The selected tag will remain active until the RF field is turned off or a new command with a different password is transmitted, which may address another tag in the RF field. Table 5-7. PWD 1 Atmel ATA5577C - Modes of Operation AOR 1 Behavior of Tag after Reset Command or POR De-activate Function Answer-On-Request (AOR) mode: Command with non-matching password deactivates the selected tag - Modulation starts after wake up with a matching password - Programming needs valid password Password mode: 1 0 - Modulation in regular-read mode starts after reset - Programming and direct access needs valid password Normal mode: 0 - - Modulation in regular-read mode starts after reset - Programming and direct access without password Figure 5-1.

Master key = 9: Test mode access and extended mode are both enabled. Master key = 6: Any test mode access will be denied but the extended mode is still enabled. Any other master key setting will prevent activation of the Atmel(R) ATA5577C extended mode options, even when the Xmode bit is set. 5.10.1 Modulator in Extended-Mode Table 5-8. Atmel ATA5577C Types of Modulation in Extended Mode Mode Direct Data Output Encoding Inverse Data Output Encoding FSK1(1) FSK/5 - FSK/8 0 = RF/5; 1 = RF/8 FSK/8 - FSK/5 0 = RF/8; 1 = RF/5 (= FSK1a) FSK2(1) FSK/10 - FSK/8 0 = RF/10; 1 = RF/8 FSK/8 FSK/10 0 = RF/8; 1 = RF/10 (= FSK2a) PSK1(2) Phase change when input changes Phase change when input changes PSK2(2) Phase change on bit clock if input high Phase change on bit clock if input low PSK3(2) Phase change on rising edge of input Phase change on falling edge of input Manchester 0 = falling edge, 1 = rising edge mid bit 1 = falling edge, 0 = rising edge mid bit Bi-phase 1 creates an additional mid-bit change 0 creates an additional mid-bit change Differential bi-phase 0 creates an additional mid-bit change 1 creates an additional mid-bit change NRZ Notes: 1 = damping on, 0 = damping off 0 = damping on, 1 = damping off 1. A common multiple of bit rate and FSK frequencies is recommended. 2. In PSK mode the selected data rate has to be an integer multiple of the PSK sub-carrier frequency. 5.10.2 Binary Bit-rate Generator In extended mode the data rate is binary programmable to operate at any even-numbered data rate between RF/2 and RF/128 as given in the formula below. Data rate = RF / (2n + 2) 5.10.3 OTP Functionality If the OTP bit is set to 1, all memory blocks are write protected and behave as if all lock bits are set to 1. If, in addition, the master key is set to 6, the Atmel ATA5577C mode of operation is locked forever (one-time-programming functionality). If the master key is set to 9, test-mode access allows re-configuration of the tag. 5.10.4 Fast Downlink In the optional fast downlink mode, the time between two gaps is reduced. In the fixed bit-length protocol mode, there are nominally 12 field clocks for a 0 and 28 field clocks for a 1. When there is no gap for more than 32 field clocks after a previous gap, the Atmel ATA5577C in the fixed bit length protocol mode will exit the downlink mode (refer to Table 5-10 on page 20). The fast downlink mode timings for the long-leading-reference protocol are shown in Table 5-11 on page 21, for the leadingzero-reference protocol in Table 5-12 on page 21 and for the 1-of-4-coding protocol in Table 5-12 on page 21. 14 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 5.10.5 Inverse Data Output In extended mode (X-mode), the Atmel ATA5577C supports an inverse data output option. If inverse data is enabled, the modulator shown in Figure 5-3 works on inverted data (see Figure 5-8 on page 14). This function is supported for all basic types of encoding. Figure 5-3. Data Encoder for Inverse Data Output PSK1 PSK2 PSK3 Intern out data Direct/NRZ Sync D Data output MUX XOR FSK1 Data clock CLK R FSK2 Manchester Bi-phase Inverse data output 5.11 Modulator Tag-to-Reader Communication During read operation (uplink mode), the data stored within the EEPROM are cycled, and the coil 1 and Coil 2 terminals are load modulated. This resistive load modulation can be detected at the reader device. 5.11.1 Regular-read Mode In regular-read mode, data from the memory are transmitted serially, starting with block 1, bit 1, up to the last block (for example, 7), bit 32. The last block to be read is defined by the mode parameter field MAXBLK in EEPROM block 0. When the data block addressed by MAXBLK has been read, data transmission restarts with block 1, bit 1. The user may limit the cyclic data stream in regular-read mode by setting MAXBLK between 0 and 7 (representing each of the eight data blocks). If set to 7, blocks 1 through 7 can be read. If set to 1, only block 1 is transmitted continuously. If set to 0, the contents of the configuration block (normally not transmitted) can be read. In the case of MAXBLK = 0 or 1, regularread mode cannot be distinguished from block-read mode. Figure 5-4. Examples of Different MAXBLK Settings MAXBLK = 5 0 Block 1 Block 4 Block 5 Block 1 Block 2 Block 2 Block 1 Block 2 Block 1 Block 0 Block 0 Block 0 Block 0 Loading block 0 MAXBLK = 2 0 Block 1 Loading block 0 MAXBLK = 0 0 Block 0 Loading block 0 Every time the Atmel(R) ATA5577C enters regular or block read mode, the first bit transmitted is a logical 0. The data stream starts with block 1, bit 1, continues through MAXBLK bit 32, and, if in regular-read mode, cycles continuously. Note: This behavior is different from that of the original Atmel e555x, and helps to decode PSK-modulated data. ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 15 5.11.2 Block-read Mode With the direct-access command, only the addressed block is read repetitively. This mode is called block-read mode. Direct access is entered by transmitting the page access opcode ("10" or "11"), a single 0 and the requested 3-bit block address when the tag is in normal mode. In password mode (PWD bit set), direct access to a single block needs the valid 32-bit password to be transmitted after the page access opcode, followed by a 0 and the 3-bit block address. If the transmitted password does not match the contents of block 7, the Atmel ATA5577C tag returns to regular-read mode. Note: A direct access to block 0 of page 1 will read the configuration data of block 0, page 0. A direct access to block 4 to 7 of page 1 reads all data bits as zero. 5.11.3 Sequence Terminator (Basic Mode) The sequence terminator (ST) is a special damping pattern which is inserted in front of the first block and may be used to synchronize the reader. This sequence terminator is recommended only for FSK and Manchester coding. This basic mode sequence terminator consists of four bit periods. During the first and third bit period, the data value is 1. During the second and fourth bit periods, modulation is switched off (using Manchester encoding, switched on). Bi-phase modulated data blocks need fixed leading and trailing bits in combination with the sequence terminator to be reliably identified. The sequence terminator may be individually enabled by setting mode bit 29 (ST = 1) in basic mode (X-mode = 0). In the regular-read mode, the sequence terminator is inserted at the start of each MAXBLK-limited read data stream. In block-read mode, after any block write or direct access command, or if MAXBLK was set to 1, the sequence terminator is inserted before the transmission of the selected block. This behavior is different from that of previous ICs (Atmel e5551/T5551, T5554). For further details, refer to the relevant application notes. Figure 5-5.

The sequence start marker consists of two bits ("01" or "10") which are inserted as a header before the first block to be transmitted if, in extended mode, bit 29 is set. At the start of a new block sequence, the value of the two bits is inverted. Figure 5-7.

The duration of these field gaps is, for example, 100s. The time between two gaps encodes the 0/1 information to be transmitted (pulse interval encoding). There are four different downlink protocols available, which are selectable via bit 21 and bit 22 in the option register block 3, page 1 (see Table 5-1 on page 8). Choosing the default downlink protocol (fixed-bit-length protocol), the time between two gaps is nominally 24 field clocks for a 0 and 56 field clocks for a 1. When there is no gap for more than 64 field clocks after a previous gap, the Atmel ATA5577C exits the downlink mode. The tag starts with the command execution if the correct number of bits were received. If a failure is detected, the Atmel ATA5577C does not continue and enters regular-read mode. Improved downlink performance could be achieved by choosing self-calibrating downlink protocols. The Atmel ATA5577C offers three different possibilities to achieve better performance using self-calibrating downlink protocols. Long leading reference: Fully forward and backward compatible with former tags and readers. Leading zero: A reader has to send a leading zero in front of the downlink bit stream. This leading zero serves as a reference for the following zero and one bits. 1-of-4 coding: Compact downlink protocol with optimized energy balance 5.12.1 Start Gap The initial gap is referred to as the start gap. This triggers the reader-to-tag communication. In the option register (block 3, page 1), several settings can be chosen to ease gap detection during this mode of operation; for example, the receive damping can be activated (see Table 5-1 on page 8). The start gap may need to be longer than subsequent gaps -- socalled write gaps -- in order to be detected reliably. A start gap will be accepted at any time after the mode register has been loaded ( 3ms). A single gap will not change the previously selected page (by a previous opcode "10" or "11").

Unit Sgap 8 50 TC Wgap 8 20 TC 5.12.2 Downlink Data Protocols The Atmel(R) ATA5577C expects to receive a dual-bit opcode as a part of a reader command sequence. There are three valid opcodes: The opcode "10" precedes all downlink operations for page 0. The opcode "11" precedes all downlink operations for page 1. Performing a direct access command on block 0 always provides block 0 page 0 independently of the page selector (see Figure 4-2 on page 6). The RESET opcode "00" initiates an initialization cycle The fourth opcode "01" precedes all test mode write operations. Any test mode access is ignored after master key (bits 1 to 4) in block 0 has been set to "6". Any further modifications of the master key are prohibited by setting the lock bit of block 0 or the OTP bit. Downlink has to follow these rules: Standard write needs the opcode, the lock bit, 32 data bits and the 3-bit address (38 bits total) Protected write (PWD bit set) requires a valid 32-bit password between the opcode and the data and address bits Protected write (PWD bit set) in conjunction with the leading-zero-reference protocol or with the 1-of-4-coding protocol requires two padding zero bits between the opcode and the password (see also Figure 5-17 on page 24). This ensures the uniqueness of the direct access with password and the standard write command (see also Table 6-1 on page 26). For the AOR wake-up command an opcode and a valid password are necessary to select and activate a specific tag Note: The data bits are read in the same order as written. If the transmitted command sequence is invalid, the Atmel ATA5577C enters regular-read mode with the previously selected page (by previous opcode "10" or "11"). 18 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 Figure 5-9.

When there is no gap for more than 64 field clocks after a previous gap, the Atmel(R) ATA5577C exits the downlink mode. This protocol is compatible with the Atmel T5557/ATA5567 transponder.

Fixed-bit-length Protocol 1 0 5.12.4 Long-leading-reference Protocol To achieve better downlink performance, an enhanced Atmel ATA5577C reader places a reference pulse in front of the opcode. This reference pulse is used as a timing reference for all following data, thus providing an auto-adjustment for varying environmental conditions. The long-leading-reference protocol allows full compatibility and coexistence of both Atmel T5557/ATA5567 and Atmel ATA5577C devices with both Atmel T5557/ATA5567 compatible readers and advanced Atmel ATA5577C readers. However, only the Atmel ATA5577C devices can profit from the self calibration and the resultant increase in write distance (see Table 5-1 on page 8 for option register settings). In this mode, the reference pulse in front of the command is monitored. Depending on the pulse length, the remainder of the command is either evaluated using the fixed-bit-length protocol, or is used as a measurement reference to evaluate the following command bits. Otherwise, the following bits are considered as an invalid command. a) For a reference-based command, the reference pulse (dRef) will have a length of 16 to 32 + 136 = 152 to 168 field clocks (zero bit + timing bias = reference pulse). Hence, the expected length will lie between 152 and 168 field clocks. The equivalent expected zero-bit length is then extracted and used as a reference for all following bits. The long-leadingreference pulse in this case is used as a timing reference only, and does not contribute to the command data itself (see Figure 5-13, part a on 21). b) Should the first bit lie within the fixed-bit-length frame (for example, in normal mode: 0: 16 to 32 clocks; 1: 48 to 64 clocks), the device will then automatically switch to the fixed-bit-length protocol (see Section 5.12.3 "Fixed-bit-length Protocol" on page 20) and this first pulse will be evaluated as the first command bit. This allows compatibility with long-leading-reference programmed Atmel ATA5577C devices interacting with Atmel T5557/ATA5567 readers, which do not send any reference pulses (see Figure 5-13, part b on 21). c) If an Atmel T5557/ATA5567 device interacts with an enhanced Atmel ATA5577C reader, the reference pulse (152 to 168 field clocks) is ignored by the Atmel T5557/ATA5567 and the following data bits will evaluated correctly. Therefore, an Atmel T5557/ATA5567 device is compatible with an enhanced Atmel ATA5577C reader (see Figure 5-13, part b on 21). d) Should the first bit correspond to neither (a) nor (b) then it will be rejected as an invalid command. 20 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 Table 5-11.

This pulse length should correspond exactly to the length of the zero bits in the following command. All further lengths of the zero and one bits of the command are derived from the reference pulse. Therefore, downlink performance is optimal in different environmental conditions. Table 5-12. Downlink Data Coding Scheme with Leading-zero Reference Normal Downlink Parameter Symbol Min. Typ. Max.

Additionally, a leading reference pulse "00" is placed in front of the downlink command. This serves as a reference pulse for all following data bits, thus providing an auto-adjustment for varying environmental conditions. Table 5-13.

There is a clock delay between the end of the writing sequence and the start of programming. Typical programming time is 5.6ms. This cycle includes a data verification read to grant secure and correct programming. After programming is successfully executed, the Atmel ATA5577C enters block-read mode, transmitting the block just programmed (see Figure 5-18 on page 25). Note: This timing and behavior is different from that of the Atmel e555x-family predecessors. For further details, refer to relevant Atmel application notes. If the command sequence is validated and the addressed block is not write protected, the new data will be programmed into the EEPROM memory. The new state of the block write protection bit (lock bit) will be programmed at the same time accordingly. Each programming cycle consists of four consecutive steps: erase block, erase verification (data = 0), programming, and write verification (corresponding data bits = 1). 24 ATA5577C [DATASHEET] 9187H-RFID-07/14 Figure 5-18.

Error Handling Several error conditions can be detected to ensure that only valid bits are programmed into the EEPROM. There are two error types, which lead to two different actions. 6.1 Errors During Command Sequence The following detectable errors could occur while sending a command sequence to the Atmel(R) ATA5577C: Wrong number of field clocks between two gaps (that is, not a valid 1 or 0 pulse stream) Password mode is activated and the password does not match the contents of block 7 The number of bits received in the command sequence is incorrect Valid bit counts accepted by the Atmel ATA5577C are listed in the following table.

The Atmel(R) ATA5577C reverts to block-read mode continuously transmitting the currently addressed block If a data verification error is detected after an executed data block programming, the tag will stop modulation (modulation defeat) until a new command is transmitted.
