Product details
Overview
LRI2K-A1S/1GE from STMicroelectronics is a 13.56 MHz ISO 15693/ISO 18000-3 Mode 1 compliant RFID tag IC with 2048-bit EEPROM, 64-bit UID, kill function, and Block Lock security. It operates via load modulation at 6.6 Kbit/s or 26 Kbit/s, supports Fast commands up to 53 Kbit/s, and integrates internal tuning capacitors (21–97 pF) for antenna matching in contactless smart label applications.
For engineers reviewing the LRI2K-A1S/1GE datasheet, LRI2K-A1S/1GE pinout, LRI2K-A1S/1GE application, or LRI2K-A1S/1GE equivalent, this device serves as a secure, high-cycle-count RFID tag IC for item-level tracking, anti-counterfeiting, and electronic article surveillance-requiring precise subcarrier timing, Manchester-coded backscatter, and deterministic kill/lock command execution.
Technical Context
The LRI2K-A1S/1GE implements a passive RF interface compliant with ISO 15693 physical layer (13.56 MHz ±7 kHz carrier) and data link layer (1/4 or 1/256 pulse position coding for reader-to-tag, Manchester with 423/484 kHz subcarriers for tag-to-reader). It supports both addressed and non-addressed communication modes, with state transitions governed by ISO-defined power-off, ready, quiet, and selected states.
Its memory architecture includes 2048 bits of EEPROM organized in 64 blocks of 32 bits each, with per-block lock capability, CRC-16 error detection on all commands, and dedicated registers for AFI (Application Family Identifier) and DSFID (Data Storage Format Identifier). The kill function requires a 32-bit password and irreversible permanent deactivation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RFID tag IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL2 ICS20 | Same ISO 15693 compliance, 1024-bit EEPROM, no internal tuning caps - requires external matching network. | Lacks Fast command set and kill function; limited to basic inventory, not EAS or permanent deactivation use cases. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated tuning or kill security. |
| Tag-it HF-I Plus | ISO 15693 compliant, 2048-bit EEPROM, but only 32-bit UID and no hardware kill - relies on software disable. | No irreversible kill; UID shorter and less collision-resistant in large-scale deployments. | Prefer for legacy TI ecosystem integration where UID length and kill assurance are secondary to toolchain compatibility. |
Compared with SL2 ICS20 and Tag-it HF-I Plus, the LRI2K-A1S/1GE delivers superior system-level robustness through integrated antenna tuning, irreversible kill, and Fast-mode throughput-making it optimal for high-security, high-volume, and thermally demanding tagging applications.

FAQ
What antenna topologies are supported by the LRI2K-A1S/1GE?
The LRI2K-A1S/1GE supports standard loop antennas tuned to 13.56 MHz using its internal 21–97 pF capacitor bank. It is validated for use with printed inlay antennas (e.g., A1/A7 wafer antenna configuration), etched PCB loops, and flexible foil antennas-provided the total parallel capacitance falls within 20–100 pF range for resonance at nominal frequency.
Does the LRI2K-A1S/1GE require an external power supply?
No. The LRI2K-A1S/1GE is a fully passive RFID tag IC powered solely by the electromagnetic field generated by the reader's antenna. It harvests energy from the 13.56 MHz carrier signal to operate its EEPROM, logic, and load modulation circuitry-no battery or external voltage source is needed or supported.
How is the kill function implemented and verified?
The kill function requires a 32-bit password sent via the Write Kill command, followed by the Kill command. Upon successful execution, the IC permanently disables all RF response-including UID transmission-and draws no detectable current. Verification is performed by attempting Get System Info; a non-responsive tag confirms successful kill.
Can the LRI2K-A1S/1GE be used in metal or liquid environments?
Direct placement on metal or immersion in liquids severely detunes the antenna and attenuates coupling. However, the LRI2K-A1S/1GE can operate reliably in such environments when mounted on a dielectric spacer (e.g., 3–5 mm ABS or PTFE) or integrated into on-metal inlays with ferrite-backed antenna designs-validated per ISO 15693-3 Annex D test methods.
