The ICODE SLIX-S IC is a dedicated chip for smart label applications with the need for a higher security level, larger memory and/or a product which takes care of the increasing demand for perfect customer privacy. This IC is the third generation of a product family of smart label ICs based on the ISO standards ISO/IEC 15693 (Ref. 1) and ISO/IEC 18000-3 (Ref. 4), prolonging a successful story of NXP in the field of vicinity identification systems. The ICODE system offers the possibility of operating labels simultaneously in the field of the reader antenna (anticollision). It is designed for long range applications.
Whenever connected to a very simple and easy-to-produce type of antenna (as a result of the 13.56 MHz carrier frequency) made out of a few windings printed, winded, etched or punched coil, the ICODE SLIX-S IC can be operated without line of sight up to a distance of 1.5 m (gate width). No battery is needed. When the smart label is positioned in the field of an interrogator antenna, the high speed RF communication interface enables data to be transmitted up to 53 kbit/s
Anticollision
An intelligent anticollision function enables several tags to operate in the field simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each tag individually and ensures that the execution of a transaction with a selected tag is performed correctly without data corruption resulting from other tags in the field.
