Overview

SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 from Philips Semiconductors is a contactless smart label IC compliant with ISO/IEC 15693 for RFID applications, featuring 1024-bit EEPROM (32 × 4-byte blocks), 13.56 MHz RF interface, and true anticollision support. It operates at up to 1.5 m read distance with 53 kbit/s data rate and embeds hardware-level security including UID, EAS, AFI, DSFID, and per-block write lock.

For engineers reviewing the SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 datasheet, SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 pinout, SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 application, or SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, memory mapping, command set compliance, security architecture, and real-world deployment context for supply chain, baggage tracking, and intelligent labeling systems.

Technical Context

The SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 implements a fully integrated analog RF front-end with charge pump and rectifier for passive power harvesting from 13.56 MHz magnetic fields, enabling battery-free operation. Its digital control block supports mandatory and optional ISO/IEC 15693-3 commands-including Inventory, Read/Write Single/Multiple Block, Lock, Select, and Reset-to enable deterministic multi-tag interrogation.

Memory organization strictly follows ISO/IEC 15693-3: 64-bit immutable UID (blocks −4 to −3), EAS/AFI/DSFID in block −2, write access conditions in block −1, and 28 user blocks (0–27). All security features-including UID immutability, per-block lock, and EAS bit control-are enforced in hardware with no software intervention required.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 is a wafer-die-only product intended for embedding into inlays or labels; it has no external pins or leaded package. The device interfaces exclusively via its integrated RF coil terminals (antenna pads) - typically bonded to printed, etched, or wound loop antennas - and requires no physical electrical connections beyond resonant circuit coupling.

FAQ

What is the operating frequency and RF standard compliance of SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0?

SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 operates at 13.56 MHz and is fully compliant with ISO/IEC 15693-2 and -3 standards. It supports mandatory and optional commands defined in the specification-including Inventory, Read Single Block, Write Single Block, and Lock Block-as well as custom commands like Fast Inventory Read (A1h) and EAS Alarm (A5h). This ensures interoperability with certified readers across global logistics and retail infrastructure.

Does SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 have a physical pinout or package for PCB mounting?

No-SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 is a bare die IC intended for direct integration into RFID inlays or labels. It has no leads, pads, or package footprint. Electrical interface occurs solely through two antenna terminals coupled inductively to an external resonant coil. Integration requires wire bonding or flip-chip attachment to antenna substrates-not PCB soldering or socketing.

How is memory organized in SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0, and what is the purpose of each block group?

SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 contains 1024 bits of EEPROM organized into 32 blocks of 4 bytes each. Blocks −4 to −3 store the immutable 64-bit UID; block −2 holds EAS, AFI, and DSFID; block −1 defines write access conditions; and blocks 0–27 provide user data storage. This structure aligns precisely with ISO/IEC 15693-3, ensuring compatibility with standardized reader firmware and middleware.

What security mechanisms does SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 implement at the hardware level?

SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 enforces three hardware-level security features: (1) factory-programmed, read-only 64-bit UID per ISO/IEC 15693-3; (2) one-time programmable per-block write locks in block −1; and (3) dedicated EAS bit control with Set/Reset/Lock commands (A2h–A4h). These operate independently of host software, preventing unauthorized modification of identity, configuration, or sensitive user data.

Can SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 be used in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) systems, and how is EAS activated?

Yes-SL2ICS2001DW/V1D,0 supports EAS via a dedicated bit in block −2, byte 1. EAS is activated using the Set EAS command (A2h), deactivated with Reset EAS (A3h), and permanently locked with Lock EAS (A4h). When enabled, the IC responds to EAS Alarm commands (A5h) with a predefined 256-bit sequence-allowing integration with standard EAS gate detectors without protocol translation.
