Product details
Overview
M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 from STMicroelectronics is a dual-interface Dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC integrating 4-Kbit EEPROM, ISO 15693 RF interface, and I²C bus. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supports energy harvesting via analog Vout pin, and delivers 5 ms max I²C write time and 5.75 ms RF block write time. Used in smart packaging, asset tagging, and industrial maintenance logs where battery-free operation and dual-mode access are required.
For engineers reviewing the M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 datasheet, M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 pinout, M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 application, or M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 equivalent, this device enables secure, field-upgradable memory with simultaneous contact and contactless access - critical for traceability systems requiring UID-based authentication, password-protected RF writes, and energy-harvested operation in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 implements a true dual-interface architecture: its I²C port (400 kHz compliant) and ISO 15693 RF interface operate independently but share a unified 4-Kbit EEPROM array partitioned into 512-byte I²C pages and 128×32-bit RF blocks. Internal tuning capacitance (27.5 pF) simplifies antenna matching for 13.56 MHz operation.
It features configurable RF WIP/BUSY signaling, programmable energy harvesting sink current ranges, and dual-password security - single password for I²C writes, multi-sector passwords for RF mode. The device transitions between Power-off, Ready, Quiet, and Selected states per ISO 15693 state machine, with Fast commands enabling 53 kbit/s data rate.

FAQ
What is the function of the RF WIP/BUSY pin on the M24LR04E-RDW6T/2? The RF WIP/BUSY pin is a user-configurable digital output that signals either RF write-in-progress or RF busy state, allowing the host microcontroller to avoid polling delays during tag programming. Its behavior is set via the Configuration Byte (bit RF_WIP_EN) and is active only when enabled in the control register.
How does energy harvesting work on this device?
Energy harvesting is implemented through the Vout pin, which outputs regulated DC voltage derived from the incident 13.56 MHz RF field. The device supports four programmable sink current ranges (10 µA to 1 mA), enabling optimization for varying reader field strengths and tag placement distances. No external rectifier or capacitor is required due to integrated RF-to-DC conversion.
Can the M24LR04E-RDW6T/2 be used without a VCC supply?
Yes - the device operates in true battery-free mode using only harvested RF energy on the Vout pin. In this configuration, VCC must be left unconnected or tied to Vout; I²C communication remains functional as long as sufficient RF field strength is present to sustain internal logic voltage. Minimum field strength is 1.5 A/m per ISO 15693.
What security mechanisms protect RF writes on this IC?
RF writes are protected by sector-level 32-bit passwords stored in dedicated system memory. Each of the 128 RF blocks can be individually locked or password-protected. A valid password must be presented via the Write-sector Password command before writing to a secured sector. Additionally, the 64-bit UID is factory-programmed and read-only, preventing cloning at the hardware level.
