ST25DVxxx Description

1 Description
The ST25DVxxx device is a NFC RFID Tag offering 4 Kbit, 16 Kbit, and 64 Kbit of
electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM). ST25DVxxx offers two interfaces.
The first one is an I2C serial link and can be operated from a DC power supply. The second
one is a RF link activated when ST25DVxxx acts as a contactless memory powered by the
received carrier electromagnetic wave.
In I2C mode, the ST25DVxxx user memory contains up to 8192 bytes, which could be split
in 4 flexible and protectable areas.
In RF mode, following ISO/IEC 15693 or NFC forum type 5 recommendations, ST25DVxxx
user memory contains up to 2048 blocks of 4 bytes which could be split in 4 flexible and
protectable areas.
ST25DVxxx offers a fast transfer mode between the RF and contact worlds, thanks to a 256
bytes volatile buffer (also called Mailbox).
In addition, the GPO pin of the ST25DVxxx provides data informing the contact world about
incoming events, like RF field detection, RF activity in progress or mailbox message
availability.
An energy harvesting feature is also proposed when external conditions make it possible.

2 Signal descriptions
2.1 Serial link (SCL, SDA)
2.1.1 Serial clock (SCL)
This input signal is used to strobe all data in and out of the ST25DVxxx. In applications
where this signal is used by slave devices to synchronize the bus to a slower clock, the bus
master must have an open drain output, and a pull-up resistor must be connected from
Serial Clock (SCL) to VCC. See Section 9.2 to know how to calculate the value of this pull-up
resistor
2.1.2 Serial data (SDA)
This bidirectional signal is used to transfer data in or out of the ST25DVxxx. It is an open
drain output that may be wire-OR’ed with other open drain or open collector signals on the
bus. A pull-up resistor must be connected from Serial Data (SDA) to VCC. (Figure 75
indicates how the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated).
2.2 Power control (VCC, LPD,VSS)
2.2.1 Supply voltage (VCC)
This pin can be connected to an external DC supply voltage.
Note: An internal voltage regulator allows the external voltage applied on VCC to supply the
ST25DVxxx, while preventing the internal power supply (rectified RF waveforms) to output a
DC voltage on the VCC pin.
2.2.2 Low Power Down (LPD)
This input signal is used to control an internal 1.8 V regulator delivering ST25DVxxx internal
supply. When LPD is high, this regulator is shut off and its consumption is reduced below
1µA. This regulator has a turn on time in range of 100us, to be added to the boot duration,
before the device becomes fully operational. This feature is only available on the 12-pin
ST25DVxxx package.
2.2.3 Ground (VSS)
VSS is the reference for the VCC and VDCG supply voltages and V_EH analog output voltage.

2.3 RF link (AC0 AC1)
2.3.1 Antenna coil (AC0, AC1)
These inputs are used to connect the ST25DVxxx device to an external coil exclusively. It is
advised not to connect any other DC or AC path to AC0 or AC1.
When correctly tuned, the coil is used to power and access the device using the ISO/IEC
15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 protocols.
2.4 Process control (VDCG
, GPO)
2.4.1 Driver Supply voltage (VDCG)
This pin, available only with ST25DVxx-JF version, can be connected to an external DC
supply voltage. It only supplies the GPO driver block. ST25DVxxx cannot be powered by
VDCG
. If VDCG is left floating, no information will be available on GPO pin.
2.4.2 General purpose output (GPO)
The ST25DVxxx features a configurable output GPO pin used to provide RF activity
information to an external device. ST25DVxx-IE offers a GPO open drain. This GPO pin
must be connected to an external pull-up resistor (> 4.7 KΩ) to operate.
The interrupt consists in pulling the state to a low level or outputting a low-level pulse on
GPO pin.
ST25DVxx-JF offers a GPO CMOS output, which requires to connect VDCG pin to an
external power supply. The interrupt consists in setting the state to a high level or outputting
a positive pulse on the GPO pin.
GPO pin is a configurable output signal, and can mix several Interruption modes. By default,
the GPO register sets the interruption mode as a RF Field Change detector. It is able to
raise various events like RF Activity, Memory Write completion, or fast transfer actions. It
can authorize the RF side to directly drive GPO pin using the Manage GPO command to set
the output state or emit a single pulse (for example, to wake up an application.). See
Section 5.2: GPO for details.
2.5 Energy harvesting analog output (V_EH)
This analog output pin is used to deliver the analog voltage V_EH available when the
Energy harvesting mode is enabled and if the RF field strength is sufficient. When the
Energy harvesting mode is disabled or the RF field strength is not sufficient, V_EH pin is in
High-Z state (See Section 5.3: Energy Harvesting (EH) for details).

3 Power management
3.1 Wired interface
Operating supply voltage VCC
In contact mode, prior to selecting the memory and issuing instructions to it, a valid and
stable VCC voltage within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range must be applied (see
Table 205: I2C operating conditions). To maintain a stable DC supply voltage, it is
recommended to decouple the VCC line with a suitable capacitor (usually of the order of 10
nF and 100 pF) close to the VCC/VSS package pins.
This voltage must remain stable and valid until the end of the transmission of the instruction
and, for a Write instruction, until the completion of the internal I²C write cycle (tW).
Instructions are not taken into account until completion of ST25DVxxx's boot sequence (see
Figure 4).
Figure 4. ST25DVxxx Power-Up sequence (No RF field, LPD pin tied to Vss
or package without LPD pin)
Power-up conditions
When the power supply is turned on, VCC rises from VSS to VCC. The VCC rise time must not
vary faster than 1V/µs.
Device reset in I²C mode
In order to prevent inadvertent write operations during power-up, a power-on reset (POR)
circuit is included. At power-up (continuous rise of VCC), the ST25DVxxx does not respond
to any I²C instruction until VCC has reached the power-on reset threshold voltage (this
threshold is lower than the minimum VCC operating voltage defined in Table 205: I2C
operating conditions). When VCC passes over the POR threshold, the device is reset and
enters the Standby power mode. However, the device must not be accessed until VCC has
reached a valid and stable VCC voltage within the specified [VCC(min), VCC(max)] range and

t_boot time necessary to ST25DVxxx set-up has passed. In the version supporting LPD pin,
the boot will take place only when LPD goes low.
In a similar way, during power-down (continuous decrease in VCC), as soon as VCC drops
below the power-on reset threshold voltage, the device stops responding to any instruction
sent to it, and I2C address counter is reset.
Power-down mode
During power-down (continuous decay of VCC), the device must be in Standby power mode
(mode reached after decoding a Stop condition, assuming that there is no internal write
cycle in progress).
3.2 Contactless interface
Device set in RF mode
To ensure a proper boot of the RF circuitry, the RF field must be turned ON without any
modulation for a minimum period of time tRF_ON. Before this time, ST25DVxxx will ignore all
received RF commands. (See Figure 5: ST25DVxxx RF Power Up sequence (No DC
supply)).
Device reset in RF mode
To ensure a proper reset of the RF circuitry, the RF field must be turned off (100%
modulation) for a minimum tRF_OFF period of time.
The RF access can be temporarily or indefinitely disabled by setting the appropriate value in
the RF disable register.

4 Memory management
4.1 Memory organization overview
The ST25DVxxx memory is divided in four main memory areas:
User memory
Dynamic registers
Fast Transfer Mode buffer
System configuration area
The ST25DVxxx user memory can be divided into 4 flexible user areas. Each area can be
individually read - and/or - write-protected with one out of three specific 64-bit password.
The ST25DVxxx dynamic registers are accessible by RF or I2C host and provide dynamic
activity status or allow temporary activation or deactivation of some ST25DVxxx features.
The ST25DVxxx also provides a 256 byte Fast Transfer Mode buffer, acting as a mailbox
between RF and I2C interface, allowing fast data transfer between contact and contactless
worlds.
Finally, the ST25DVxxx system configuration area contains static registers to configure all
ST25DVxxx features, which can be tuned by user. Its access is protected by a 64 bit
configuration password.
This system configuration area also includes read only device information such as IC
reference, memory size or IC revision, as well as a 64-bit block that is used to store the 64-
bit unique identifier (UID), and the AFI (default 00h) and DSFID (default 00h) registers. The
UID is compliant with the ISO 15693 description, and its value is used during the
anticollision sequence (Inventory). The UID value is written by ST on the production line.
The AFI register stores the application family identifier. The DSFID register stores the data
storage family identifier used in the anticollision algorithm.
The system configuration area includes five additional 64-bit blocks that store an I2C
password plus three RF user area access passwords and a RF configuration password.

4.2 User memory
User memory is accessible from both RF contactless interface and I2C wired interface.
From RF interface, user memory is addressed as Blocks of 4 bytes, starting at address 0.
RF extended read and write commands can be used to address all ST25DVxxx memory
blocks. Other read and write commands can only address up to block FFh.
From I2C interface, user memory is addressed as Bytes, starting at address 0. Device select
must set E2 = 0. User memory can be read in continuity. Unlike the RF interface, there is no
roll-over when the requested address reaches the end of the memory capacity.

4.2.1 User memory areas
The user memory can be split into different areas, each one with a distinct access privilege.
RF and I2C read and write commands are legal only within a same zone:
In RF, a multiple read or a multiple write command is not executed and returns the error
code 0Fh if addresses cross the area borders.
In I2C, a read data always return FFh after crossing an area border. A write command
is not acknowledged and not executed if the command crosses the area border.
Each user memory area is defined by its ending block address ENDAi. The starting block
address is defined by the end of the preceding area.
There are three ENDAi registers in the configuration system memory, used to define the end
block addresses of Area 1, Area 2 and Area 3. The end of Area 4 is always the last block of
memory and is not configurable.
Figure 7. ST25DVxxx user memory areas
On factory delivery all ENDAi are set to maximum value, only Area1 exists and includes the
full user memory.
A granularity of 8 Blocks (32 Bytes) is offered to code area ending points.
An area’s end limit is coded as followed in ENDAi registers:
Last RF block address of area = 8 x ENDAi + 7 => ENDAi = int(Last Areai RF block
address / 8)
Last I2C byte address of area = 32 * ENDAi + 31 => ENDAi = int(Last Areai I2C byte
address / 32)
As a consequence, ENDA1 = 0 means size of Area 1 is 8 blocks (32 Bytes).

Organization of user memory in areas have the following characteristics:
At least one area exists (Area1), starting at Block/Byte address 0000h and finishing at
ENDA1, with ENDA1 = ENDA2 = ENDA3 = End of user memory (factory setting).
Two Areas could be defined by setting ENDA1 < ENDA2 = ENDA3 = End of user
memory.
Three Areas may be defined by setting ENDA1 < ENDA2 < ENDA3 = End of user
memory.
A maximum of four areas may be defined by setting ENDA1 < ENDA2 < ENDA3 < End
of user memory.
Area 1 specificities
Start of Area1 is always Block/Byte address 0000h.
Area1 minimum size is 8 Blocks (32 Bytes) when ENDA1 = 00h.
Area1 is always readable.
The last area always finishes on the last user memory Block/Byte address (ENDA4
doesn't exist).
All areas are contiguous: end of Area(n) + one Block/Byte address is always start of
Area(n+1).
Area size programming
RF user must first open the RF configuration security session to write ENDAi registers.
I2C host must first open I2C security session to write ENDAi registers.

ST25DVxxx Memory management

When programming an ENDAi register, the following rule must be respected:
ENDAi-1 < ENDAi ENDAi+1 = End of memory.
This means that prior to programming any ENDAi register, its successor (ENDAi+1) must
first be programmed to the last Block/Byte of memory:
Successful ENDA3 programming condition: ENDA2 < ENDA3 End of user memory
Successful ENDA2 programming condition: ENDA1 < ENDA2 ENDA3 = End of user
memory
Successful ENDA1 programming condition: ENDA1 ENDA2 = ENDA 3 = End of user
memory
If this rule is not respected, an error 0Fh is returned in RF, NoAck is returned in I2C, and
programming is not done.
In order to respect this rule, the following procedure is recommended when programming
Areas size (even for changing only one Area size):
1. Ends of Areas 3 and 2 must first be set to the end of memory while respecting the
following order:
a) If ENDA3 end of user memory, then set ENDA3 = end of memory; else, do not
write ENDA3.
b) If ENDA2 end of user memory, then set ENDA2 = end of memory; else, do not
write ENDA2.
2. Then, desired area limits can be set respecting the following order:
a) Set new ENDA1 value.
b) Set new ENDA2 value, with ENDA2 > ENDA1
c) Set new ENDA3 value, with ENDA3 > ENDA2
Example of successive user memory area setting (for a ST25DV64K-xx):
1. Initial state, 2 Areas are defined:
a) ENDA1 = 10h (Last block of Area 1: (10h x 8) + 7 = 0087h)
b) ENDA2 = FFh (Last block of Area 2: (FFh x 8) + 7 = 07FFh)
c) ENDA3 = FFh (No Area 3)
Area 1 from Block 0000h to 0087h (136 Blocks)
Area 2 from Block 0088h to 07FFh (1912 Blocks)
There is no Area 3.
There is no Area 4.
Memory management ST25DVxxx
30/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
Programming ENDA3 to FFh in step 2.a would have resulted in into an error, since rule
ENDAi-1 < ENDAi would not been respected (ENDA2 = ENDA3 in that case).
Registers for user memory area configuration
2. Split of user memory in four areas:
a) ENDA3 is not updated as it is already set to end of memory.
b) ENDA2 is not updated as it is already set to end of memory.
c) Set ENDA1 = 3Fh (Last block of Area 1: (3Fh x 8) + 7 = 01FFh)
d) Set ENDA2 = 5Fh (Last block of Area 1: (5Fh x 8) + 7 = 02FFh)
e) Set ENDA3 = BFh (Last block of Area 1: (BFh x 8) + 7 = 05FFh)
Area1 from Block 0000h to 01FFh (512 Blocks)
Area2 from Block 0200h to 02FFh (256 Blocks)
Area3 from Block 0300h to 05FFh (768 Blocks)
Area4 from Block 0600h to 07FFh (512 Blocks).
3. Return to a split in two equal areas:
a) Set ENDA3 = FFh
b) Set ENDA2 = FFh
c) Set ENDA1 = 7Fh (Last block of Area 1: (7Fh x 8) + 7 = 03FFh)
Area1 from Block 0000h to 03FFh (1024 Blocks)

4.3 System configuration area
In addition to EEPROM user memory, ST25DVxxx includes a set of static registers located
in the system configuration area memory (EEPROM nonvolatile registers). Those registers
are set during device configuration (i.e.: area extension), or by the application (i.e.: area
protection). Static registers content is read during the boot sequence and define basic
ST25DVxxx behavior.
In RF, the static registers located in the system configuration area can be accessed via
dedicated Read Configuration and Write Configuration commands, with a pointer acting as
the register address.
The RF configuration security session must first be open, by presenting a valid RF
configuration password, to grant write access to system configuration registers.
The system configuration area write access by RF can also be deactivated by I2C host.

4.4 Dynamic configuration
ST25DV has a set of dynamic registers that allow temporary modification of its behavior or
report on its activity. Dynamic registers are volatile and not restored to their previous values
after POR.
Some static registers have an image in dynamic registers: dynamic register value is
initialized with the static register value and may be updated by the application to modify the
device behavior temporarily (i.e.: set reset of Energy Harvesting). When a valid change
occurs in a static register, in RF or I2C, the corresponding dynamic register is automatically
updated.
Other, dynamic registers, automatically updated, contain indication on ST25DV activity. (i.e.:
IT_STS_Dyn gives the interruption’s status or MB_CTRL_Dyn gives the Fast Transfer Mode
mailbox control).
In RF, dynamic registers can be accessed via dedicated (Fast) Read Dynamic Configuration
and (Fast) Write Dynamic Configuration commands, with a pointer acting as the register
address. No password is needed to access dynamic registers.
In I2C, dynamic registers can be accessed with I2C read and write commands with device
select E2=0. Dynamic registers can be read in continuity. Dynamic registers and Fast
transfer Mode mailbox can be read in continuity, but not written in continuity. No password is
needed to access dynamic registers.
Table 10 shows the complete map of dynamic registers, as seen by RF interface and by I2C
interface.

4.5 Fast Transfer Mode mailbox
ST25DVxxx Fast Transfer Mode uses a dedicated mailbox buffer for transferring messages
between RF and I2C worlds. This mailbox contains up to 256 Bytes of data which are filled
from the first byte.
Fast Transfer Mode mailbox is accessed in bytes from both RF and I2C.
In RF, mailbox is read via a dedicated (Fast) Read Message command. Read can start from
any address value inside the mailbox, between 00h and FFh. Writing in the mailbox is done
via the (Fast) Write Message command in one shot, always starting at mailbox address 00h.
No password is needed to access mailbox from RF, but Fast Transfer Mode must be
enabled.
In I2C, mailbox read can start from any address value between 2008h and 2107h. Write
mailbox MUST start from address 2008h to a max of 2107h. No password is needed to
access mailbox from I2C, but Fast Transfer Mode must be enabled.
Table 11 shows the map of fast transfer mode mailbox, as seen by RF interface and by I2C
interface.

5 ST25DVxxx specific features
ST25DVxxx offers the following features:
A Fast Transfer Mode (FTM), to achieve a fast link between RF and contact worlds, via
a 256 byte buffer called Mailbox. This mailbox dynamic buffer of 256 byte can be filled
or emptied via either RF or I2C.
A GPO pin, which indicates incoming event to the contact side, like RF Field changes,
RF activity in progress, RF writing completion or Mailbox message availability.
An Energy Harvesting element to deliver µW of power when external conditions make it
possible.
RF management, which allows ST25DVxxx to ignore RF requests.
All these features can be programmed by setting static and/or dynamic registers of the
ST25DVxxx. ST25DVxxx can be partially customized using configuration registers located
in the E2 system area.
These registers are:
dedicated to Data Memory organization and protection ENDAi, I2CSS, RFAiSS,
LOCK_CCFILE.
dedicated to Fast Transfer Mode MB_WDG, MB_MODE
dedicated to observation, GPO, IT_TIME
dedicated to RF , RF_MNGT, EH_MODE
dedicated the device’s structure LOCK_CFG
A set of additional registers allows to identify and customize the product (DSFID, AFI,
IC_REF, etc.).
In I²C,
Read accesses to the static configuration register is always allowed, except for passwords.
For dedicated registers, write access is granted after prior successful presentation of the I2C
password. Configuration register are located from @00h to 0Fh in the system area (device
code 111)
In RF
Dedicated commands Read Configuration and Write Configuration must be used to access
the static configuration registers. Update is only possible when the access right was granted
by presenting the RF configuration password (RF_PWD_0), and if the system
configuration was not previously locked by the I2C host (LOCK_CFG=1), which acts as
security master.
After any valid write access to the static configuration registers, the new configuration is
immediately applied.
Some of the static registers have a dynamic image (notice _Dyn) preset with the static
register value: GPO_CTRL_Dyn, EH_CTRL_Dyn, RF_MNGT_Dyn and MB_CTRL_Dyn.
When it exists, ST25DVxxx uses the dynamic configuration register to manage its
processes. A dynamic configuration register updated by the application will recover its
default static value after a Power On Reset (POR).
DocID027603 Rev 3 37/216
ST25DVxxx ST25DVxxx specific features
215
Other dynamic registers are dedicated to process monitoring:
I2C_SSO_Dyn is dedicated to data memory protection
MB_LEN_Dyn, MB_CTRL_Dyn are dedicated to Fast Transfer Mode
IT_STS_Dyn is dedicated to interrupt
In I2C, read and write of the Dynamic registers is done using usual I2C read & write
command at dedicated address. (E2 =0 in device select).
In RF read or write accesses to the Dynamic registers are associated to the dedicated
commands, Read Dynamic Configuration, Write Dynamic Configuration and Read Message
Length.

5.1.2 Fast Transfer Mode usage
ST25DV acts as mailbox between RF (reader, smartphone, ...) and an I2C host
(microcontroller...). Each interface can send a message containing up to 256 bytes of data
to the other interface through that mailbox.
To send data from RF reader to I2C host, Fast Transfer Mode must be enabled, the mailbox
must be free, and the RF user must first writes the message containing data in the mailbox.

I2C host is then informed (by interruption on GPO output or polling on MB_CTRL_Dyn
register) that a message from RF is present in the mailbox.
Once the complete message has been read by I2C, mailbox is considered free again and is
available for receiving a new message (data is not cleared).
The RF user is informed that the message has been read by the I2C host by polling on
MB_CTRL_Dyn register.
Figure 8. RF to I2C fast transfer mode operation
To send data from the I2C host to the RF reader, Fast Transfer Mode must be enabled, the
mailbox must be free and the I2C host must first write the message containing data in the
mailbox.
The RF user must poll on MB_CTRL_Dyn register to check for the presence of a message
from I2C in the mailbox.
Once the complete message has been read by RF user, mailbox is considered free again
and is available for receiving a new message (data is not cleared).
The I2C host is informed that message has been read by RF user through a GPO
interruption or by polling on the MB_CTRL_Dyn register.

Figure 9. I2C to RF fast transfer mode operation
VCC supply source is mandatory to activate this feature.
No precedence rule is applied: the first request is served first.
Adding a message is only possible when Fast Transfer Mode is enabled (MB_EN=1) and
mailbox is free (HOST_PUT_MSG and RF_PUT_MSG cleared, which is the case after POR
or after complete reading of I2C message by RF, and complete reading of RF message by
I2C).
A watchdog limits the message availability in time: when a time-out occurs, the mailbox is
considered free, and the HOST_MISS_MSG or RF_MISS_MSG bits is set into
MB_CTRL_Dyn register. The data contained in the mailbox is not cleared after a read or
after the watchdog has been triggered: message data is still available for read and until Fast
Transfer Mode is disabled. HOST_CURRENT_MSG and RF_CURRENT_MSG bits are
indicating the source of the current data.
The message is stored in a buffer (256 Bytes), and the write operation is done immediately. .
Caution: The data written in user or system memory (EEPROM), either from I2C or from RF, transits
via the 256-Bytes Fast Transfer Mode's buffer. Consequently Fast Transfer Mode must be
deactivated (MB_EN=0) before starting any write operation in user or system memory,
otherwise command will be NotACK for I2C or get an answer 0Fh for RF and programming
is not done.
I2C access to mailbox
The access by I2C can be done by dedicated address mapping to mailbox (2008h to 2107h)
with device identifier E2 = 0.
I2C reading operation does not support rollover. Therefore data out is set to FFh when the
counter reaches the message end.
The RF_PUT_MSG is cleared after reaching the STOP consecutive to reading the last
message byte, and the mailbox is considered free (but the message is not cleared and it is
still present in the mailbox).

A I2C reading operation will never clear HOST_PUT_MSG, and the message remains
available for RF.
An I2C read can start at any address inside the mailbox (between address 2008h and
2107h).
A I2C write operation must start from the first mailbox location, at address 2008h. After
reaching the Mailbox border at address 2107h all bytes are NACK and the command is not
executed (rollover feature not supported).
At the end of a successful I2C message write, the message length is automatically set into
MB_LEN_Dyn register, and HOST_PUT_MSG bit is set into MB_CTRL_Dyn register, and
the write access to the mailbox is not possible until the mailbox has been released again.
RF access to mailbox
The RF Control & Access to mailbox is possible using dedicated custom commands:
Read Dynamic Configuration and Fast Read Dynamic Configuration to check
availability of mailbox.
Write Dynamic Configuration and Fast Write Dynamic configuration to enable or
disable Fast Transfer Mode.
Read Message Length and Fast Read Message Length to get the length of the
contained message,
Read Message and Fast Read Message to download the content of the mailbox,
Write Message and Fast Write Message to put a new message in mailbox. (New length
is automatically updated after completion of a successful Write Message or Fast Write
Message command).
HOST_PUT_MSG is cleared following a valid reading of the last message byte, and mailbox
is considered free (but message is not cleared and is still present in the mailbox).
A RF read can start at any address of inside the message, but return an error 0Fh if trying to
read after the last byte of the message.
A RF reading operation will never clear RF_PUT_MSG , the message will remain available
for I2C.
At the end of a successful RF message write, the message length is automatically set in
MB_LEN_Dyn register, and RF_PUT_MSG bit is set in MB_CTRL_Dyn register. and write
access to the mailbox is not possible until mailbox has been freed again.
The presence of a DC supply is mandatory to get RF access to the mailbox. VCC_ON can
be checked reading the dynamic register EH_CTRL_Dyn.

5.2 GPO
GPO signal is used to alert the I2C host of external RF events or ST25DVxxx processes
activity. Several causes could be used to request a host interruption. RF user can also
directly drive GPO pin level using a dedicated RF command.
5.2.1 ST25DVxxx interrupt capabilities on RF events
ST25DVxxx supports multi interruption mode and can report several events occurring
through RF interface.
In this chapter, all drawings are referring to the Open Drain version of GPO output
(ST25DVxxK-IE).
The reader can retrieve the behavior of CMOS version (ST25DVxxK-JF) by inverting the
GPO curve polarity and replace in text “released” or “high-Z” by “pull to ground”.
Supported RF events is listed hereafter:

RF_USER:
GPO output level is controlled by Manage GPO command (set or reset)
When RF_USER is activated, GPO level is changed after EOF of ST25DV response to
a Manage GPO set or reset command (see Section 7.6.30: Manage GPO).
RF_USER is prevalent over all other GPO events when set by Manage GPO command
(other interrupts are still visible in IT_STS_Dyn status register, but do not change GPO
output level).

RF_INTERRUPT:
A pulse is emitted on GPO by Manage GPO command (interrupt).
When RF_INTERRUPT is activated, a pulse of duration IT_TIME is emitted after EOF
of ST25DV response to a Manage GPO interrupt command (see Section 7.6.30:
Manage GPO).
Figure 13. RF_INTERRUPT chronogram
FIELD_CHANGE:
A pulse is emitted on GPO to signal a change in RF field state.
When FIELD_CHANGE is activated, and when RF field appear or disappear, GPO
emits a pulse of duration IT_TIME.
In case of RF field disappear, the pulse is emitted only if VCC power supply is present.
If RF is configured in RF_SLEEP mode, field change are not reported on GPO, even if
FIELD_CHANGE event is activated, as shown in Table 16.

Several interruption sources can be enabled simultaneously.
The updated value is valid for the next command (except for the RF_WRITE interrupt,
which is valid right after EOF of the Write Configuration command if enabled through
RF).
The GPO_EN bit (b7) allows to disable GPO output (High-Z for Open Drain version,
driven low for CMOS version). Interruptions are still reported in IT_STS_Dyn register.
RF configuration security session (present RF password 0) or I2C security session

I2C host can write GPO and IT_TIME registers, after presenting a valid I2C password to
open I2C security session.
Enabling or disabling GPO output:
RF user and I2C host can disable or enable GPO output at power up time by writing in
GPO_EN bit 7 of GPO register (if write access is granted).
I2C host can temporarily enable or disable GPO output at any time by toggling
GPO_EN bit 7 of GPO_CTRL_Dyn register. No password is required to write into
GPO_CTRL_Dyn register.
Disabling GPO output by writing in GPO_EN bit (either in GPO or in GPO_CTRL_Dyn
registers) does not disable interruption report in IT_STS_Dyn status register.
Interruption pulse duration configuration:
Interrupt pulse duration is configured by writing pulse duration value in IT_TIME
register.
Pulse duration is calculated with the following equation

5.3.2 Energy harvesting feature description
The usage of Energy Harvesting element can be defined in configuration register
EH_MODE. When the Energy harvesting mode is disabled or the RF field strength is not
sufficient, the energy harvesting analog voltage output V_EH is in High-Z state.
EH_MODE Static Register is used to define the Energy Harvesting default strategy after
boot.
At boot EH_EN (in EH_CTRL_Dyn register) is set depending EH_MODE value as shown in
table below:
Writing 0 in EH_MODE at any time after boot will automatically set EH_EN bit to 1, and thus
activate energy harvesting.
Writing 1 in EH_MODE at any time after boot will not modify EH_EN bit (until next reboot)
and thus will not modify energy harvesting current state.
EH_CTRL_Dyn allows to activate or deactivate on the fly the Energy harvesting (EH_EN)
and bring information on actual state of EH and state of power supplies :
EH_ON set reflects the EH_EN bit value
FIELD_ON is set in presence of a RF field
VCC_ON is set when Host power supply is on, and low power-down mode is not
forced.
During boot, EH is not delivered to avoid alteration in device configuration.
Caution: Communication is not guaranteed during EH delivery.
Energy harvesting can be set even if ST25DVxxx is in RF disabled or RF Sleep mode, or in
Low power mode. In all these cases, ST25DVxxx will deliver power on V_EH pin if RF field
is present.
1. Refer to Table 10: Dynamic registers memory map for the EH_CTRL_Dyn register.

At boot time, and each time RF_MNGT register it is updated, content of RF_MNGT_Dyn
register is copied from RF_MNGT register. The content of RF_MNGT_Dyn register is used
during application to set ST25DVxxx behavior.
Content of this dynamic register RF_MNGT_Dyn can be updated on the fly, to temporarily
modify the behavior of ST25DVxxx without affecting the static value of RF_MNGT which will
be recovered at next POR.
RF_MNGT register is composed of two bits (see Table 28: RF_MNGT_Dyn): RF_DISABLE
and RF_SLEEP
For a normal usage of RF interface, bits RF_SLEEP and RF_DISABLE must be set to 0.
For RF are offered three modes:
RF sleep mode:
When RF_SLEEP is set to 1, all RF communications are disabled, RF interface
doesn’t interpret commands, but minimizes consumption of RF interface.
RF disable mode:
When RF_SLEEP is set to 0 and RF_DISABLE is set to 1, RF commands are
interpreted but not executed. In case of a valid command, ST25DV will respond
after t1 with the error code 0Fh. Inventory and Stay Quiet commands are not
answered.
RF normal mode:
In normal usage, RF_SLEEP and RF_DISABLE are set to 0, ST25DVxxx will
process the request and respond accordingly when I2C is not accessing
ST25DVxxx. If I2C is busy, ST25DV will respond to RF request with the error code
0Fh.
Whatever RF_MNGT register value, the Field detection remains available leaving to master
the possibility to temporarily open RF communication by overwriting value in
RF_MNGT_Dyn dynamic register.

ST25DVxxx automatically arbitrates the exclusive usage of RF and I2C interfaces.
Arbitration scheme obeys to “first talk first served” basic law. (see Figure 20).

1. If no response, RF is considered busy from Request SOF to Response EOF or Request EOF.
2. I2C is considered busy from Start (Select) to Stop (Deselect) or when I2C timeout occurs (Start_out, Clock
low out or Clock High out).
When RF is busy, I2C interface answers by NoAck on any I2C command.
When I2C is busy, RF commands receive no response (Inventory, Stay quiet, addressed
commands) or error code 0Fh for any other command.

5.6.2 Passwords and security sessions
ST25DVxxx provides protection of user memory and system configuration static registers.
RF user and I2C host can access those protected data by opening security sessions with
the help of passwords. Access rights is more restricted when security sessions are closed,
and less restricted when security sessions are open.
Dynamic registers and Fast transfer Mode mailbox are not protected by any security
session.
There is three type of security sessions, as shown in Table 42:
All passwords are 64-bits long, and default factory passwords value is
0000000000000000h.

76/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
The ST25DVxxx passwords management is organized around RF and I2C dedicated set of
commands to access the dedicated registers in system configuration area where password
values are stored.
The dedicated password commands in RF mode are:
Write Password command (code B1h): see Section 7.6.35: Write Password.
Present Password command (code B3h): see Section 7.6.36: Present Password.
RF user possible actions for security sessions are:
Open RF user security session: Present Password command, with password number
1, 2 or 3 and the valid corresponding password
Write RF password: Present Password command, with password number (0, 1, 2 or 3)
and the current valid corresponding password. Then Write Password command, with
same password number (0, 1, 2 or 3) and the new corresponding password.
Close RF user security session: Present Password command, with a different
password number than the one used to open session or any wrong password. Or
remove tag from RF field (POR).
Open RF configuration security session: Present Password command, with
password number 0 and the valid password 0.
Close RF configuration security session: Present Password command, with a
password number different than 0, or password number 0 and wrong password 0. Or
remove tag from RF field (POR).
Opening any new RF security session (user or configuration) automatically close the
previously open one (even if it fails).
There is no interaction between I2C and RF security sessions. Both are independent, and
can run in parallel.
Caution: If ST25DVxxx is powered through VCC, removing VCC or setting LPD high during a RF
command can abort the command. As a consequence, before writing a new password, RF
user should check if VCC is ON, by reading EH_CTRL_Dyn register bit 3 (VCC_ON), and
eventually ask host to maintain or to shut down VCC, and not change voltage applied on
LPD while issuing the Write Password command in order to avoid password corruption.

5.6.3 User memory protection
On factory delivery, areas are not protected.
Each area can be individually protected in read and/or write access from RF and I2C.
Area 1 is always readable (from RF and I2C).
Furthermore, RF blocks 0 and 1 (I2C bytes 0000h to 00007h) can be independently write
locked.
User memory protection from RF access
In RF mode, each memory area of the ST25DVxxx can be individually protected by one out
of three available passwords (RF password 1, 2 or 3), and each area can also have
individual Read/Write access conditions.
For each area, an RFAiSS register is used to:
Select the RF password that unlock the RF user security session for this area
Select the protection against read and write operations for this area
(See Table 29: RFA1SS, Table 30: RFA2SS, Table 31: RFA3SS and Table 32: RFA4SS for
details about available read and write protections).

Note: Setting 00b in PWD_CTRL_Ai field means that RF user security session cannot be open by
any password for the corresponding area.
When updating RFAiSS registers, the new protection value is effective immediately after the
register write completion.
Rf blocks 0 and 1 are exceptions to this protection mechanism:
RF blocks 0 and 1 can be individually write locked by issuing a (Ext) Lock Single
Block RF command. Once locked, they cannot be unlock through RF.
LOCK_CCFILE register is automatically updated when using (Ext) Lock Single
Block command.
A RF user needs no password to lock blocks 0 and/or 1.
Locking blocks 0 and/or 1 is possible even if the configuration is locked
(LOCK_CFG=1).
Locking blocks 0 and/or 1 is possible even if the area is write locked.
Unlocking area1 (through RFA1SS register) does not unlock blocks 0 and 1 if they
have been locked though (Ext) Lock Block command.
Once locked, the RF user cannot unlock blocks 0 and/or 1 (can be done by I2C
host).
Note: When areas size are modified (ENDAi registers), RFAiSS registers are not modified.
User memory protection from I2C access
In I2C mode, each area can also have individual Read/Write access conditions, but only one
I2C password is used to unlock I2C security session for all areas.
The I2CSS register is used to set protection against read and write operation for each area
(see Table 33: I2CSS for details about available read and write protections).
When updating I2CSS registers, the new protection value is effective immediately after the
register write completion.
I2C user memory Bytes 0000h to 0003h (RF Block 0) and 0004h to 0007h (RF Block 1) can
be individually locked and unlocked by writing in the LOCK_CCFILE register (by group of 4
Bytes), independently of Area 1 protection. Unlocking Area 1 (through I2CSS register) does
not unlock those bytes if they have been locked though the LOCK_CCFILE register.
Note: When areas size are modified (ENDAi registers), I2CSS register is not modified.
Retrieve the security status of a user memory block or byte
RF user can read a block security status by issuing following RF commands:
(Ext) Get Multiple Blocks Security Status command.
(Ext) (Fast) Read Single Block with option flag set to 1.
(Ext) (Fast) Read Multiple Blocks with option flag set to 1.
ST25DV will respond with a Block security status containing a Lock_bit flag as specified in
ISO 15693 standard. This lock_bit flag is set to one if block is locked against write.
Lock_bit flag value may vary if corresponding RF user security session is open or closed.
I2C host can retrieve a block security status by reading the I2CSS register to get security
status of the corresponding area and by reading the I2C_SSO_Dyn register to know if I2C
security session is open or closed.
ST25DVxxx specific features ST25DVxxx
80/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
For blocks 0 and 1 (Bytes 0000h to 0007h in I2C user memory), lock status can also be read
in the LOCK_CCFILE register.
5.6.4 System memory protection
By default, system memory (static registers) is write protected, both in RF and I2C.
I2C host must open the I2C security session (by presenting a valid I2C password) to enable
write access to system configuration static registers.
I2C host doesn’t have read or write access to RF passwords.
By default, I2C host can read all system configuration static registers (except RF passwords)
In RF, to enable write access to system configuration static registers, RF user must open the
RF configuration security session (by presenting a valid RF password 0) and system
configuration must not be locked (LOCK_CFG=00h).
RF doesn’t have read or write access to I2C password.
By default, RF user can read all system configuration static registers, except all passwords,
LOCK_CCFILE, LOCK_DSFID and LOCK_AFI.
RF configuration lock:
RF write access to system configuration static registers can be locked by writing 01h in
the LOCK_CFG register (by RF or I2C).
RF user cannot unlock system configuration if LOCK_CFG=01h, even after opening RF
configuration security session (only I2C host can unlock system configuration).
When system configuration is locked (LOCK_CFG=01h), it is still possible to change
RF passwords (0 to 3).
Device identification registers:
AFI and DFSID registers can be independently locked by RF user, issuing respectively
a Lock AFI and a Lock DSFID command. Lock is definitive: once locked, AFI and
DSFID registers cannot be unlocked (either by RF or I2C). System configuration
locking mechanism (LOCK_CFG=01h) does not lock AFI and DSFID registers.
Other device identification registers (MEM_SIZE, BLK_SIZE, IC_REF, UID, IC_REV)
are read only registers for both RF and I2C.

6 I2C operation
6.1 I2C protocol
The device supports the I2C protocol. This is summarized in Figure 23: I2C bus protocol.
Any device that sends data to the bus is defined as a transmitter, and any device that reads
data is defined as a receiver. The device that controls the data transfer is known as the bus
master, and the other as the slave device. A data transfer can only be initiated by the bus
master, which also provides the serial clock for synchronization. The ST25DVxxx device is a
slave in all communications.
Figure 23. I2C bus protocol
6.1.1 Start condition
Start is identified by a falling edge of serial data (SDA) while the serial clock (SCL) is stable
in the high state. A Start condition must precede any data transfer command. The device
continuously monitors (except during a write cycle) the SDA and the SCL for a Start
condition, and does not respond unless one is given.
DocID027603 Rev 3 87/216
ST25DVxxx I2C operation
215
6.1.2 Stop condition
Stop is identified by a rising edge of serial data (SDA) while the serial clock (SCL) is stable
and driven high. A Stop condition terminates communication between the device and the
bus master. A Read command that is followed by NoAck can be followed by a Stop condition
to force the device into the Standby mode. A Stop condition at the end of a Write command
triggers the internal write cycle.
6.1.3 Acknowledge bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit is used to indicate a successful byte transfer. The bus transmitter,
whether a bus master or a slave device, releases the serial data (SDA) after sending eight
bits of data. During the 9th clock pulse period, the receiver pulls the SDA low to
acknowledge the receipt of the eight data bits.
6.1.4 Data input
During data input, the device samples serial data (SDA) on the rising edge of the serial clock
(SCL). For correct device operation, the SDA must be stable during the rising edge of the
SCL, and the SDA signal must change only when the SCL is driven low.
6.2 I2C timeout
During the execution of an I²C operation, RF communications are not possible.
To prevent RF communication freezing due to inadvertent unterminated instructions sent to
the I²C bus, the ST25DVxxx features a timeout mechanism that automatically resets the I²C
logic block.
6.2.1 I2C timeout on Start condition
I2C communication with the ST25DVxxx starts with a valid Start condition, followed by a
device select code.
If the delay between the Start condition and the following rising edge of the Serial Clock
(SCL) that samples the most significant of the Device Select exceeds the tSTART_OUT time
(see Table 210: I2C AC characteristics up to 85°C and Table 211: I2C AC characteristics up
to 125°C), the I²C logic block is reset and further incoming data transfer is ignored until the
next valid Start condition.
I2C operation ST25DVxxx
88/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
Figure 24. I²C timeout on Start condition
6.2.2 I2C timeout on clock period
During data transfer on the I²C bus, if the serial clock pulse width high (tCHCL) or serial clock
pulse width low (tCLCH) exceeds the maximum value specified in Table 210: I2C AC
characteristics up to 85°C and Table 211: I2C AC characteristics up to 125°C, the I²C logic
block is reset and any further incoming data transfer is ignored until the next valid Start
condition.
6.3 Device addressing
To start a communication between the bus master and the slave device, the bus master
must initiate a Start condition. Following this, the bus master sends the device select code,
shown in Table 52: Device select code (on Serial Data (SDA), the most significant bit first).
The device select code consists of a 4-bit device type identifier and a 3-bit Chip Enable
“Address” (E2,1,1). To address the memory array, the 4-bit device type identifier is 1010b.
Refer to Table 52: Device select code.
The eighth bit is the Read/Write bit (RW). It is set to 1 for Read and to 0 for Write operations.
If a match occurs on the device select code, the corresponding device gives an
acknowledgment on serial data (SDA) during the ninth bit time. If the device does not match
the device select code, it deselects itself from the bus, and goes into Standby mode.

6.4 I2C Write operations
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) reset to 0. The device acknowledges this, and waits for two address bytes. The
device responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit, and then waits for the data
byte.
Each data byte in the memory has a 16-bit (two-byte wide) address. The most significant
byte (see Table 54: Address most significant byte) is sent first, followed by the least
significant byte (see Table 55: Address least significant byte). Bits b15 to b0 form the
address of the byte in memory.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (in the tenth-
bit time slot), either at the end of a byte write or a sequential write, the internal write cycle is
triggered. A Stop condition at any other time slot does not trigger the internal write cycle.
After the Stop condition, the delay tW, and the successful completion of a Write operation,
the device’s internal address counter is incremented automatically, to point to the next byte
address after the last one that was modified.
After an unsuccessful write operation, ST25DVxxx enters in I2C dead state: internal
address counter is not incremented, and ST25DVxxx is waiting for a full new I2C instruction.
During the internal write cycle, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the
device does not respond to any requests.
Caution: I2C Writing data in user or system memory (EEPROM), transit via the 256-Bytes Fast
Transfer Mode's buffer. Consequently Fast Transfer Mode must be deactivated before
starting any write operation in user or system memory, otherwise command will be NotACK,
programming is not done and device goes in standby mode.

6.4.1 I2C Byte write
After the device select code and the address bytes, the bus master sends one data byte.
If byte write is not inhibited, the device replies with Ack. The bus master terminates the
transfer by generating a Stop condition and byte location is modified (see Figure 25: Write
mode sequences when write is not inhibited)
If byte write is inhibited, the device replies with NoAck. The bus master terminates the
transfer by generating a Stop condition and byte location not is modified (see Figure 26:
Write mode sequences when write is inhibited).
Byte write is inhibited if byte complies with one of the following conditions:
Byte is in user memory and is write protected with LOCK_CCFILE register.
Byte is in user memory and is write protected with I2CSS register, and I2C security
session is closed.
Byte is in user memory and Fast Transfer Mode is activated.
Byte is in system memory and is a Read Only register.
Byte is in system memory and I2C security session is closed.
Byte is in Fast Transfer Mode’s mailbox and is not the first Byte of mailbox.
Byte is in Fast Transfer Mode’s mailbox and mailbox is busy.
Byte is in Fast Transfer Mode’s mailbox and Fast Transfer Mode is not activated.
Byte is in dynamic registers area and is a Read Only register.
6.4.2 I2C Sequential write
The I2C sequential write allows up to 256 bytes to be written in one command, provided they
are all located in the same user memory area or are all located in writable addresses.
After each byte is transferred, the internal byte address counter is incremented.
For each byte sent by the bus master:
If byte write is not inhibited, the device replies with Ack.
If byte write is inhibited, the device replies with NoAck.
The transfer is terminated by the bus master generating a Stop condition:
If all bytes have been Ack’ed, internal programming of all bytes is done.
If some bytes have been NotAck’ed, no internal programming is done (0 byte written).
Byte write is inhibited if byte complies with conditions described in Section 6.4.1: I2C Byte
write, in addition:
Byte is in user memory but does not belong to same area than previous received byte
(area border crossing is forbidden).
256 write occurrence have already been reached in the same sequential write.
EEPROM memory (user memory and system configuration) is internally organized in pages
of 4 bytes long. Data located in a same page all share the same most significant memory
address bits b16-b2.
I2C sequential write programming time in the EEPROM memory is dependent on this
internal organization: total programming time is the I2C write time tw (as defined in Table
210 and Table 211) multiplied by the number of internal EEPROM pages where the data
must be programmed, including incomplete pages. For example, a 256 Bytes I2C sequential
DocID027603 Rev 3 91/216
ST25DVxxx I2C operation
215
write, starting at address 002h will write data over 65 pages. Total write time in this case is
tw x 65.

Note: N 256
Figure 26. Write mode sequences when write is inhibited
Note: N 256
6.4.3 Minimizing system delays by polling on ACK
During the internal write cycle, the device disconnects itself from the bus, and writes a copy
of the data from its internal latches to the memory cells. The maximum I²C write time (tw) is
shown in Table 210: I2C AC characteristics up to 85°C and Table 211: I2C AC characteristics
up to 125°C, but the typical time is shorter. To make use of this, a polling sequence can be
used by the bus master.

92/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
The sequence, as shown in Figure 27: Write cycle polling flowchart using ACK, is:
Initial condition: a write cycle is in progress.
Step 1: the bus master issues a Start condition followed by a device select code (the
first byte of the new instruction).
Step 2: if the device is busy with the internal write cycle, no Ack is returned and the bus
master goes back to Step 1. If the device has terminated the internal write cycle, it
responds with an Ack, indicating that the device is ready to receive the second part of
the instruction (the first byte of this instruction having been sent during Step 1).
Note: There is no need of polling when writing in dynamic registers or in mailbox, since
programming time is null.

ST25DVxxx I2C operation
215
6.5 I2C read operations
Read operation in user memory is performed successfully only if:
Area to which the byte belongs is not read protected by I2CSS register.
Area to which the byte belongs is read protected by I2CSS register, but I2C security
session is open.
Read operations in system memory and dynamic registers are done independently of any
protection mechanism, except I2C_PWD register which needs I2C security session to be
open first.
Read operation in fast Transfer Mode’s mailbox is performed successfully only if Fast
Transfer Mode is activated.
If read is not successful, ST25DVxxx releases the bus and I2C host reads byte value FFh.
After the successful completion of a read operation, the device’s internal address counter is
incremented by one, to point to the next byte address.
After an unsuccessful read operation, ST25DVxxx enters in I2C dead state: internal address
counter is not incremented, and ST25DVxxx is waiting for a full new I2C instruction.
6.5.1 Random Address Read
A dummy write is first performed to load the address into this address counter (as shown in
Figure 28: Read mode sequences) but without sending a Stop condition. Then, the bus
master sends another Start condition, and repeats the device select code, with the
Read/Write bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges this, and outputs the contents of the
addressed byte. The bus master must not acknowledge the byte, and terminates the
transfer with a Stop condition.
6.5.2 Current Address Read
For the Current Address Read operation, following a Start condition, the bus master only
sends a device select code with the Read/Write bit (RW) set to 1. The device acknowledges
this, and outputs the byte addressed by the internal address counter. The counter is then
incremented. The bus master terminates the transfer with a Stop condition, as shown in
Figure 28: Read mode sequences, without acknowledging the byte.
I2C operation ST25DVxxx
94/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
Figure 28. Read mode sequences
6.5.3 Sequential Read access
This operation can be used after a Current Address Read or a Random Address Read. The
bus master does acknowledge the data byte output, and sends additional clock pulses so
that the device continues to output the next byte in sequence. To terminate the stream of
bytes, the bus master must not acknowledge the last byte, and must generate a Stop
condition, as shown in Figure 28: Read mode sequences.
The output data comes from consecutive addresses, with the internal address counter
automatically incremented after each byte output.
Sequential read in user memory:
Sequential read cannot cross area borders. After reaching area border, device
continues to output FFh
There is no roll over inside area or at the end of user memory (ST25DVxxx returns only
FFh after last user memory byte address).

Sequential read in system memory:
There is no roll over after reaching end of system memory (ST25DV returns only FFh

Sequential read in dynamic registers:
It is possible to read sequentially dynamic registers and Fast Transfer Mode’s mailbox
(contiguous I2C addresses).
Sequential read in dynamic registers:
There is no roll over at the end of the mailbox (ST25DV returns only FFh after last

6.5.4 Acknowledge in Read mode
For all Read commands, the device waits, after each byte read, for an acknowledgment
during the ninth bit time. If the bus master does not drive Serial Data (SDA) low during this
time, the device terminates the data transfer and switches to its Standby mode.
I2C operation ST25DVxxx
96/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
6.6 I2C password management
The ST25DVxxx controls I2C security session using an I2C 64-bit password. This I2C
password is managed with two I2C dedicated commands: I2C present password and I2C
write password.
6.6.1 I2C present password command description
The I2C present password command is used in I2C mode to present the password to the
ST25DVxxx. This is used to open I2C security session or to allow I2C password modification
(see Section 5.6: Data Protection for detailed explanation about password usage).
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) reset to 0 and the Chip Enable bit E2 at 1. The device acknowledges this, as shown
in Figure 29: I2C Present Password Sequence, and waits for two I2C password address
bytes, 09h and 00h. The device responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit,
and then waits for the eight password data bytes, the validation code, 09h, and a resend of
the eight password data bytes. The most significant byte of the password is sent first,
followed by the least significant bytes.
It is necessary to send the 64-bit password twice to prevent any data corruption during the
sequence. If the two 64-bit passwords sent are not exactly the same, the ST25DVxxx does
not start the internal comparison.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (during the
tenth bit time slot), an internal delay equivalent to the write cycle time is triggered. A Stop
condition at any other time does not trigger the internal delay. During that delay, the
ST25DVxxx compares the 64 received data bits with the 64 bits of the stored I2C password.
If the values match, the I2C security session is open after the internal delay, and the
I2C_SSO_Dyn register is set to 01h. If the values do not match, the I2C security session is
closed and I2C_SSO_dyn register is set to 00h.
During the internal delay, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the device
does not respond to any requests.
I2C_SSO_Dyn is a Dynamic register, it can be checked via I2C host to know If I2C security
session is open.

ST25DVxxx I2C operation
215
6.6.2 I2C write password command description
The I2C write password command is used to update the I2C password value (register
I2C_PWD). It cannot be used to update any of the RF passwords. After the write cycle, the
new I2C password value is automatically activated. The I2C password value can only be
modified after issuing a valid I2C present password command.
Following a Start condition, the bus master sends a device select code with the Read/Write
bit (RW) reset to 0 and the Chip Enable bit E2 at 1. The device acknowledges this, as shown
in Figure 30: I2C Write Password Sequence, and waits for the two I2C password address
bytes, 09h and 00h. The device responds to each address byte with an acknowledge bit,
and then waits for the four password data bytes, the validation code, 07h, and a resend of
the eight password data bytes. The most significant byte of the password is sent first,
followed by the least significant bytes.
It is necessary to send twice the 64-bit password to prevent any data corruption during the
write sequence. If the two 64-bit passwords sent are not exactly the same, the ST25DVxxx
does not modify the I2C password value.
When the bus master generates a Stop condition immediately after the Ack bit (during the
tenth bit time slot), the internal write cycle is triggered. A Stop condition at any other time
does not trigger the internal write cycle.
During the internal write cycle, the serial data (SDA) signal is disabled internally, and the
device does not respond to any requests.
Caution: I2C write password command data transits via the 256-Bytes Fast Transfer Mode's buffer.
Consequently Fast Transfer Mode must be deactivated before issuing a write password
command, otherwise command is NotACK (after address LSB), and programming is not
done and device goes in standby mode.

RF operations ST25DVxxx
98/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
7 RF operations
Contactless exchanges are performed in RF mode as specified by ISO/IEC 15693 or NFC
Forum Type 5. The ST25DVxxx communicates via the 13.56 MHz carrier electromagnetic
wave on which incoming data are demodulated from the received signal amplitude
modulation (ASK: amplitude shift keying). The received ASK wave is 10% or 100%
modulated with a data rate of 1.6 Kbit/s using the 1/256 pulse coding mode or a data rate of
26 Kbit/s using the 1/4 pulse coding mode.
Outgoing data are generated by the ST25DVxxx load variation using Manchester coding
with one or two subcarrier frequencies at 423 kHz and 484 kHz. Data are transferred from
the ST25DVxxx at 6.6 Kbit/s in low data rate mode and 26 Kbit/s in high data rate mode.
The ST25DVxxx supports the 53 Kbit/s in high data rate mode in one subcarrier frequency
at 423 kHz.
The ST25DVxxx follows ISO/IEC 15693 or NFC Forum Type 5 recommendation for radio-
frequency power and signal interface and for anticollision and transmission protocol.
7.1 RF communication
7.1.1 Access to a ISO/IEC 15693 device
The dialog between the “RF reader” and the ST25DVxxx takes place as
follows:
These operations use the RF power transfer and communication signal interface described
below (see Power transfer, Frequency and Operating field). This technique is called RTF
(Reader talk first).
activation of the ST25DVxxx by the RF operating field of the reader,
transmission of a command by the reader (ST25DVxxx detects carrier amplitude
modulation)
transmission of a response by the ST25DVxxx(ST25DVxxx modulates is load clocked
at subcarrier rate)
Operating field
The ST25DVxxx operates continuously between the minimum and maximum values of the
electromagnetic field H defined in Table 215: RF characteristics. The Reader has to
generate a field within these limits.
Power transfer
Power is transferred to the ST25DVxxx by radio frequency at 13.56 MHz via coupling
antennas in the ST25DVxxx and the Reader. The RF operating field of the reader is
transformed on the ST25DVxxx antenna to an AC voltage which is rectified, filtered and
internally regulated. During communications, the amplitude modulation (ASK) on this
received signal is demodulated by the ASK demodulator
DocID027603 Rev 3 99/216
ST25DVxxx RF operations
215
Frequency
The ISO 15693 standard defines the carrier frequency (fC) of the operating field as 13.56
MHz ±7 kHz.
7.2 RF communication and energy harvesting
As the current consumption can affect the AC signal delivered by the antenna, RF
communications with ST25DVxxx are not guaranteed during voltage delivery on the energy
harvesting analog output V_EH.
RF communication can disturb and possibly stop Energy Harvesting mode.
7.3 Fast Transfer Mode mailbox access in RF
Thanks to dedicated commands, the RF interface has the possibility to check Mailbox
availability, and the capability to access it directly to put or get a message from it (see
Section 5.1: Fast transfer mode (FTM) for specific features).
7.4 RF protocol description
7.4.1 Protocol description
The transmission protocol (or simply “the protocol”) defines the mechanism used to
exchange instructions and data between the VCD (Vicinity Coupling Device) and the
ST25DVxxx in both directions. It is based on the concept of “VCD talks first”.
This means that a ST25DVxxx does not start transmitting unless it has received and
properly decoded an instruction sent by the VCD. The protocol is based on an exchange of:
a request from the VCD to the ST25DVxxx,
a response from the ST25DVxxx to the VCD.
Each request and each response are contained in a frame. The frame are delimited by a
Start of Frame (SOF) and End of Frame (EOF).
The protocol is bit-oriented. The number of bits transmitted in a frame is a multiple of eight
(8), that is an integer number of bytes.
A single-byte field is transmitted least significant bit (LSBit) first. A multiple-byte field is
transmitted least significant byte (LSByte) first and each byte is transmitted least significant
bit (LSBit) first.

7.4.2 ST25DVxxx states referring to RF protocol
The ST25DVxxx can be in one of four states:
Power-off
Ready
Quiet
Selected
Transitions between these states are specified in Figure 32: ST25DVxxx state transition
diagram and Table 56: ST25DVxxx response depending on Request_flags.
Power-off state
The ST25DVxxx is in the Power-off state when it does not receive enough energy from the
VCD.
Ready state
The ST25DVxxx is in the Ready state when it receives enough energy from the VCD. When
in the Ready state, the ST25DVxxx answers any request where the Select_flag is not set.
Quiet state
When in the Quiet state, the ST25DVxxx answers any request with the Address_flag set,
except for Inventory requests.
Selected state
In the Selected state, the ST25DVxxx answers any request in all modes (see Section 7.4.3:
Modes):
Request in Select mode with the Select_flag set
Request in Addressed mode if the UID matches
Request in Non-Addressed mode as it is the mode for general requests

The intention of the state transition method is that only one ST25DVxxx should be in the
Selected state at a time.
When the Select_flag is set to 1, the request shall NOT contain a unique ID.
When the address_flag is set to 0, the request shall NOT contain a unique ID.

7.4.3 Modes
The term “mode” refers to the mechanism used in a request to specify the set of ST25DVxxx
devices that shall execute the request.
Addressed mode
When the Address_flag is set to 1 (Addressed mode), the request contains the Unique ID
(UID) of the addressed ST25DVxxx.
Any ST25DVxxx that receives a request with the Address_flag set to 1 compares the
received Unique ID to its own. If it matches, then the ST25DVxxx executes the request (if
possible) and returns a response to the VCD as specified in the command description.
If the UID does not match, then it remains silent.
Non-addressed mode (general request)
When the Address_flag is cleared to 0 (Non-Addressed mode), the request does not contain
a Unique ID.
Select mode
When the Select_flag is set to 1 (Select mode), the request does not contain a unique ID.
The ST25DVxxx in the Selected state that receives a request with the Select_flag set to 1
executes it and returns a response to the VCD as specified in the command description.
Only the ST25DVxxx in the Selected state answers a request where the Select_flag is set to
1.
The system design ensures that only one ST25DVxxx can be in the Select state at a time.
7.4.4 Request format
The request consists of:
an SOF,
flags,
a command code,
parameters and data,
a CRC,
an EOF.
7.4.5 Request flags
In a request, the “flags” field specifies the actions to be performed by the ST25DVxxx and
whether corresponding fields are present or not.
The flags field consists of eight bits. Bit 3 (Inventory_flag) of the request flag defines the
contents of the four MSBs (bits 5 to 8). When bit 3 is reset (0), bits 5 to 8 define the

7.4.8 Response and error code
If the Error_flag is set by the ST25DVxxx in the response, the Error code field is present and
provides information about the error that occurred.
Error codes not specified in Table 63: Response error code definition are reserved for future
use.
7.5 Timing definition
t1: ST25DVxxx response delay
Upon detection of the rising edge of the EOF received from the VCD, the ST25DVxxx waits
for a t1nom time before transmitting its response to a VCD request or switching to the next
slot during an inventory process. Values of t1 are given in Table 64: Timing values.
t2: VCD new request delay
t2 is the time after which the VCD may send an EOF to switch to the next slot when one or
more ST25DVxxx responses have been received during an Inventory command. It starts
from the reception of the EOF from the ST25DVxxxs.
The EOF sent by the VCD may be either 10% or 100% modulated regardless of the
modulation index used for transmitting the VCD request to the ST25DVxxx.
t2 is also the time after which the VCD may send a new request to the ST25DVxxx, as
described in Figure 31: ST25DVxxx protocol timing.
Values of t2 are given in Table 64: Timing values.
t3: VCD new request delay when no response is received from the ST25DVxxx
t3 is the time after which the VCD may send an EOF to switch to the next slot when no
ST25DVxxx response has been received.
The EOF sent by the VCD may be either 10% or 100% modulated regardless of the
modulation index used for transmitting the VCD request to the ST25DVxxx.

From the time the VCD has generated the rising edge of an EOF:
If this EOF is 100% modulated, the VCD waits for a time at least equal to t3min for 100%
modulation before sending a new EOF.
If this EOF is 10% modulated, the VCD waits for a time at least equal to t3min for 10%
modulation before sending a new EOF.

1. The tolerance of specific timings is ± 32/fC.
2. VCD request will not be interpreted during the first milliseconds following the RF field rising.
3. t1max does not apply for write-alike requests. Timing conditions for write-alike requests are defined in the
command description.
4. tSOF is the time taken by the ST25DVxxx to transmit an SOF to the VCD. tSOF depends on the current data
rate: High data rate or Low data rate.
5. tNRT is the nominal response time of the ST25DVxxx. tNRT depends on VICC to ST25DVxxx data rate and
subcarrier modulation mode.

7.6.3 General Command Rules
In case of a valid command, the following paragraphs will describe the expected behavior
for each command.
But in case of an invalid command, in a general manner, the ST25DVxxx will behave as
follows:
1. if flag usage is incorrect, the error code 03h will be issued only if the right UID is used in
the command, otherwise no response will be issued.
2. error 02h will be issued if the custom command is used with the manufacturer code
different from the ST one
Another case is if I2C is busy. In this case, any RF command (except Inventory, Select, Stay
quiet and Reset to ready) will get 0Fh error code as response only:
a) if select flag and address flags are not set at the same time (except if ST25DVxxx
is in quiet state)
b) if select flag is set and ST25DVxxx is in selected state.
For all other commands, if I2C is busy, no response will be issued by ST25DVxxx.
7.6.4 Inventory
Upon receiving the Inventory request, the ST25DVxxx runs the anticollision sequence. The
Inventory_flag is set to 1. The meaning of flags 5 to 8 is shown in Table 60: Request flags 5
to 8 when inventory_flag, Bit 3 = 1.
The request contains:
the flags
the Inventory command code (001)
the AFI if the AFI flag is set
the mask length
the mask value if mask length is different from 0
the CRC
The ST25DVxxx does not generate any answer in case of error.
The response contains:

ST25DVxxx RF operations
215
During an Inventory process, if the VCD does not receive an RF ST25DVxxx response, it
waits for a time t3 before sending an EOF to switch to the next slot. t3 starts from the rising
edge of the request EOF sent by the VCD.
If the VCD sends a 100% modulated EOF, the minimum value of t3 is:
t3min = 4384/fC (323.3µs) + tSOF
If the VCD sends a 10% modulated EOF, the minimum value of t3 is:
t3min = 4384/fC (323.3µs) + tNRT + t2min
where:
tSOF is the time required by the ST25DVxxx to transmit an SOF to the VCD,
tNRT is the nominal response time of the ST25DVxxx.
tNRT and tSOF are dependent on the ST25DVxxx-to-VCD data rate and subcarrier
modulation mode.
Note: In case of error, no response is sent by ST25DVxxx.
7.6.5 Stay Quiet
On receiving the Stay Quiet command, the ST25DVxxx enters the Quiet state if no error
occurs, and does NOT send back a response. There is NO response to the Stay Quiet
command even if an error occurs.
The Option_flag is not supported. The Inventory_flag must be set to 0.
When in the Quiet state:
the ST25DVxxx does not process any request if the Inventory_flag is set,
the ST25DVxxx processes any Addressed request.
The ST25DVxxx exits the Quiet state when:
it is reset (power off),
receiving a Select request. It then goes to the Selected state,
receiving a Reset to Ready request. It then goes to the Ready state.
The Stay Quiet command must always be executed in Addressed mode (Select_flag is reset
to 0 and Address_flag is set to 1).

successful in the response. When the Option_flag is set, wait for EOF to respond.
The Inventory_flag must be set to 0.
During the RF write cycle Wt, there should be no modulation (neither 100% nor 10%),
otherwise the ST25DVxxx may not program correctly the data into the memory. The Wt time
is equal to t1nom + N × 302 µs (N is an integer).
Block number is coded on 1 Byte and only first 256 blocks of ST25DV16K-xx and
ST25DV64K-xx can be addressed using this command.

7.6.12 Read Multiple Blocks
When receiving the Read Multiple Block command, the ST25DVxxx reads the selected
blocks and sends back their value in multiples of 32 bits in the response. The blocks are
numbered from 00h to FFh in the request and the value is minus one (–1) in the field. For
example, if the “Number of blocks” field contains the value 06h, seven blocks are read. The
maximum number of blocks is fixed at 256 assuming that they are all located in the same
area. If the number of blocks overlaps areas or overlaps the end of user memory, the
ST25DVxxx returns an error code. When the Option_flag is set, the response returns the
Block Security Status.
The Inventory_flag must be set to 0.
Block number is coded on 1 Byte and only first 256 blocks of ST25DV16K-xx and
ST25DV64K-xx can be addressed using this command.

EOF to respond. During the RF write cycle Wt, there should be no modulation (neither 100%
nor 10%), otherwise the ST25DVxxx may not program correctly the data into the memory.
The Wt time is equal to t1nom + m × 302 μs < 20 ms. (m is an integer, it is function of Nb
number of blocks to be programmed).
The Inventory_flag must be set to 0.
Block number is coded on 1 Byte and only first 256 blocks of ST25DV16K-xx and

When receiving the Get Multiple Block Security Status command, the ST25DVxxx sends
back its security status for each address block: 0 when block is writable else 1 when block is
locked for writing. The blocks security status are defined by the area security status (and by
LCK_CCFILE register for blocks 0 and 1). The blocks are numbered from 00h up to the
maximum memory block number in the request, and the value is minus one (–1) in the field.
For example, a value of “06” in the “Number of blocks” field requests will return the security
status of seven blocks. This command does not respond an error if number of blocks
overlap areas or overlap the end of the user memory.

On receiving the Manage GPO command. Depending on the command argument, the
ST25DV force the GPO output level if RF_USER interrupt is enabled, or send a pulse on
GPO output if RF_INTERRUPT is enabled. If neither RF_USER nor RF_INTERRUPT was
enabled, the command is not executed and ST25DVxxx responds an Error code “0F”.
The IT duration is defined by IT_TIME register and occurs just after the command response.
For the ST25DVxx-JF (CMOS output), a set means that the GPO pin is driven to a High
level (VDCG) and a Reset pulls the GPO pin to a low level (VSS).
The IT corresponds to a transmission of a positive pulse on the GPO pin.

RF_PUT_MSG in MB_CTRL_Dyn register. It then reports if the write operation was
successful in the response. The ST25DVxxx Mailbox contains up to 256 data bytes which
are filled from the first location '00'. MSGlength parameter of the command is the number of
Data bytes minus - 1 (00 for 1 byte of data, FFh for 256 bytes of data). Write Message could
be executed only when Mailbox is accessible by RF (Fast Transfer Mode is enabled,
previous RF message was read or time-out occurs, no I2C message to be read). User can
check it by reading b1 of MB_CTRL_Dyn “HOST_PUT_MSG” which must be reset to “0”.

is equals to 00h, the MB_LEN bytes of the full message are returned. Otherwise, Read
Message command returns (Number of Bytes + 1) bytes (i.e. 01h returns 2 bytes, FFh
returns 256 bytes).
An error is reported if (Pointer + Nb of bytes + 1) is greater than the message length. RF
Reading of the last byte of the mailbox message automatically clears b1 of MB_CTRL_Dyn

7.6.35 Write Password
On receiving the Write Password command, the ST25DVxxx uses the data contained in the
request to write the password and reports whether the operation was successful in the
response. It is possible to modify a Password value only after issuing a valid Present
password command (of the same password number). When the Option_flag is set, wait for
EOF to respond. Refer to Section 5.6: Data Protection for details on password
Management. The Inventory_flag must be set to 0.
During the RF write cycle time, Wt, there must be no modulation at all (neither 100% nor
10%), otherwise the ST25DVxxx may not correctly program the data into the memory.
The Wt time is equal to t1nom + N × 302 µs (N is an integer). After a successful write, the
new value of the selected password is automatically activated. It is not required to present
the new password value until the ST25DVxxx power-down.
Caution: If ST25DVxxx is powered through VCC, removing VCC or setting LPD high during Write
Password command can abort the command. As a consequence, before writing a new
password, RF user should check if VCC is ON, by reading EH_CTRL_Dyn register bit 3
(VCC_ON), and eventually ask host to maintain or to shut down VCC, and not to change

numbered from 00h up to the last block of user memory in the request, and the value is
minus one (–1) in the field. For example, if the “Number of blocks” field contains the value
06h, seven blocks are read. The maximum number of blocks is fixed to 256 assuming that
they are all located in the same area. If the number of blocks overlaps area or overlaps the
end of user memory, the ST25DVxxx returns an error code.
When the Option_flag is set, the response includes the Block Security Status. The data rate
of the response is multiplied by 2.
The subcarrier_flag should be set to 0, otherwise the ST25DVxxx answers with an error

On receiving the Fast Write Message command, the ST25DVxxx puts the data contained in
the request into the mailbox buffer, updates the Message Length register MB_LEN_Dyn,
and set Mailbox loaded bit RF_PUT_MSG. It then reports if the write operation was
successful in the response. The ST25DVxxx mailbox contains up to 256 data bytes which
are filled from the first location '00'. MSGlength parameter of the command is the number of
Data bytes minus - 1 (00 for 1 byte of data, FFh for 256 bytes of data). Fast Write Message
can be executed only when Mailbox is accessible by RF (previous RF message was read or
time-out occurs, no I2C message to be read). User can check it by reading b1 of
MB_CTRL_Dyn “HOST_PUT_MSG”, which must be reset to “0”. (refer to Section 5.1: Fast
transfer mode (FTM)).
The data rate of the response is multiplied by 2 compared to Write Message command.

The ST25DVxxx is uniquely identified by a 64-bit unique identifier (UID). This UID complies
with ISO/IEC 15963 and ISO/IEC 7816-6. The UID is a read-only code and comprises:
eight MSBs with a value of E0h,
the IC manufacturer code “ST 02h” on 8 bits (ISO/IEC 7816-6/AM1),

Figure 75 indicates how the value of the pull-up resistor can be calculated. In most
applications, though, this method of synchronization is not employed, and so the pull-up
resistor is not necessary, provided that the bus master has a push-pull (rather than open
drain) output.

Bit representation and coding for fast commands ST25DVxxx
190/216 DocID027603 Rev 3
Appendix A Bit representation and coding
for fast commands
Data bits are encoded using Manchester coding, according to the following schemes. For
the low data rate, same subcarrier frequency or frequencies is/are used. In this case, the
number of pulses is multiplied by 4 and all times increase by this factor. For the Fast
commands using one subcarrier, all pulse numbers and times are divided by 2.
A.1 Bit coding using one subcarrier
A.1.1 High data rate
For the fast commands, a logic 0 starts with four pulses at 423.75 kHz (fC/32) followed by an
unmodulated time of 9.44 µs, as shown in Figure 81.
Figure 81. Logic 0, high data rate, fast commands
For the Fast commands, a logic 1 starts with an unmodulated time of 9.44 µs followed by
four pulses of 423.75 kHz (fC/32), as shown in Figure 82.
Figure 82. Logic 1, high data rate, fast commands
A.1.2 Low data rate
For the Fast commands, a logic 0 starts with 16 pulses at 423.75 kHz (fC/32) followed by an
unmodulated time of 37.76 µs, as shown in Figure 83.
Figure 83. Logic 0, low data rate, fast commands
For the Fast commands, a logic 1 starts with an unmodulated time of 37.76 µs followed by
16 pulses at 423.75 kHz (fC/32), as shown in Figure 84.

Figure 84. Logic 1, low data rate, fast commands
Note: For fast commands, bit coding using two subcarriers is not supported.
A.2 ST25DVxxx to VCD frames
Frames are delimited by an SOF and an EOF. They are implemented using code violation.
Unused options are reserved for future use. For the low data rate, the same subcarrier
frequency or frequencies is/are used. In this case, the number of pulses is multiplied by 4.
For the Fast commands using one subcarrier, all pulse numbers and times are divided by 2.
A.3 SOF when using one subcarrier
A.3.1 High data rate
For the Fast commands, the SOF comprises an unmodulated time of 28.32 µs, followed by
12 pulses at 423.75 kHz (fC/32), and a logic 1 that consists of an unmodulated time of
9.44 µs followed by four pulses at 423.75 kHz, as shown in Figure 85.
Figure 85. Start of frame, high data rate, one subcarrier, fast commands
A.3.2 Low data rate
For the Fast commands, the SOF comprises an unmodulated time of 113.28 µs, followed by
48 pulses at 423.75 kHz (fC/32), and a logic 1 that includes an unmodulated time of 37.76
µs followed by 16 pulses at 423.75 kHz, as shown in Figure 86.
