Product details
Overview
HTSICH5601EW/V7 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless identification transponder IC designed for passive RFID applications in animal ID, laundry automation, and logistics. It features 256-bit EEPROM memory, integrated 210 pF resonance capacitor (±5%), 100–150 kHz operating frequency, and supports ISO 11784/85 compliance for secure animal tagging.
For engineers reviewing the HTSICH5601EW/V7 datasheet, HTSICH5601EW/V7 pinout, HTSICH5601EW/V7 application, or HTSICH5601EW/V7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, memory organization, authentication protocol behavior, wafer-level delivery format, and real-world deployment constraints for embedded RFID system integration.
Technical Context
The HTSICH5601EW/V7 operates as a passive, inductively powered transponder with no external power supply required. Its analog RF interface uses resonant coupling (Lcoil = 7.5 mH, Qcoil = 20) to derive VDD and clock from the reader's magnetic field, enabling operation at ±3.5 V read and ±6.3 V write input voltage levels.
It implements a two-state security model: Plain Mode (UID + configuration) and Authentication Mode using 48-bit secret key encryption with CHALLENGE/RESPONSE handshake. Memory access supports Page (32-bit) and Block (up to 128-bit) reads/writes, with CRC-8 error detection on all commands and data transfers.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
HTSICH5601EW/V7 is supplied as an Au-bumped die on sawn 8" wafer (inkless), with no leadframe or molded package. It has two terminals: IN1 and IN2 - directly bonded to external antenna coil traces. No discrete pins or solderable leads are present; electrical interface is exclusively via wire-bond pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 | RF Input / Antenna Terminal 1 | Connects to one end of resonant LC tank; forms part of passive power harvesting and ASK demodulation path. |
| IN2 | RF Input / Antenna Terminal 2 | Connects to other end of resonant LC tank; completes inductive coupling loop for energy transfer and bidirectional communication. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Resonance Capacitor | 210 pF ±5% built-in capacitance eliminates external capacitor placement and tolerance drift in coil matching. |
| Transponder Talks First (TTF) | User-configurable TTF mode enables autonomous broadcast without reader polling - ideal for fixed-location asset monitoring. |
| Secure Memory Lock | Hardware-enforced lock prevents overwrite of UID and configuration pages after initial programming - critical for regulatory-compliant animal ID. |
| ISO 11784/85 Compliance | Fully compliant with international animal identification standard - enables direct use in EU, US, and OIE-mandated livestock traceability systems. |
| Low-Frequency Robustness | 100–150 kHz operation provides superior metal/liquid immunity vs. UHF RFID - essential for beer keg and gas cylinder tagging. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless transponder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTSICH4801EW/V7 | 2048-bit EEPROM (vs. 256-bit); same wafer format, capacitance, and protocol stack. | Supports larger data payloads (e.g., veterinary history, vaccination logs) but requires more antenna energy for full-page writes. | Select when extended memory is needed for multi-field data storage; verify reader firmware supports 2048-bit addressing. |
| HTSH5601ETK | HVSON2 packaged version (3×2×0.85 mm); identical 256-bit memory and electrical specs. | Enables surface-mount assembly on PCB-based modules instead of wafer-level hybrid bonding. | Choose for standardized SMT production; note different thermal profile and mechanical mounting requirements vs. bare die. |
Compared with HTSICH4801EW/V7, the HTSICH5601EW/V7 offers lower memory density for reduced cost and power-per-bit efficiency in simple UID-only deployments; compared with HTSH5601ETK, it trades SMT manufacturability for maximum miniaturization and direct coil integration in custom tag substrates.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the HTSICH5601EW/V7 in an RFID system?
The HTSICH5601EW/V7 serves as a passive contactless transponder IC that derives power and clock from a reader's magnetic field, stores 256 bits of secure data, and communicates via ASK modulation at 100–150 kHz. In every deployed system, the HTSICH5601EW/V7 acts as the sole identification and authentication node - responding to UID REQUEST, SELECT, READ PAGE, and CHALLENGE commands without external power or crystal.
Does the HTSICH5601EW/V7 require an external capacitor for resonance tuning?
No, the HTSICH5601EW/V7 integrates a 210 pF resonance capacitor with ±5% tolerance between its IN1 and IN2 terminals, eliminating the need for external capacitors in the LC tank circuit. This feature simplifies antenna design and improves production yield for HTSICH5601EW/V7-based tags, especially in high-volume animal ID or laundry applications where component count reduction is critical.
How does the HTSICH5601EW/V7 support secure authentication in animal tagging?
The HTSICH5601EW/V7 implements a 48-bit secret key-based encrypted authentication protocol using CHALLENGE/RESPONSE handshaking. When configured in Authentication Mode (AUT = 1), it validates reader credentials before allowing memory access - preventing cloning or unauthorized reprogramming. This capability is mandatory for HTSICH5601EW/V7 deployments in EU-regulated livestock traceability systems requiring ISO 11784/85 compliance.
What are the memory organization and access methods supported by the HTSICH5601EW/V7?
The HTSICH5601EW/V7 organizes its 256-bit EEPROM into 64 pages of 4 bytes each (32 bits per page), accessible via READ PAGE, WRITE PAGE, READ BLOCK, and WRITE BLOCK commands. All operations include CRC-8 error checking, and Secure Memory Lock prevents modification of UID and configuration pages after initial programming - ensuring data integrity throughout the HTSICH5601EW/V7's 10-year retention period.
Is the HTSICH5601EW/V7 compatible with existing low-frequency RFID infrastructure?
Yes, the HTSICH5601EW/V7 maintains full backward compatibility with HITAG 1 and HITAG 2 reader infrastructure while extending functionality. It uses the same 100–150 kHz frequency band, ASK modulation scheme, and anticollision algorithm - enabling seamless integration into installed base systems for animal ID, waste management, and pigeon racing without hardware or firmware upgrades to the reader side.
