NXP Semiconductors SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00

Overview

SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 from NXP Semiconductors is an ISO/IEC 15693-compliant contactless smart label IC designed for long-range RFID applications requiring privacy enforcement and battery-free operation. It features a 64-bit immutable UID, 512-bit EEPROM (16 blocks × 32 bits), 32-bit password-protected Privacy/Destroy/EAS functions, and supports up to 1.5 m read/write distance at 13.56 MHz. It is deployed in industrial laundry tracking systems where tag durability and customer data confidentiality are critical.

For engineers reviewing the SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 datasheet, SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 pinout, SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 application, or SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on anticollision behavior, memory protection granularity, ISO 15693 custom command support (e.g., BAh Enable Privacy, B9h Destroy SLI-L), and high-capacitance variant-specific resonance tuning (97.0 pF).

Technical Context

The SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 implements a fully compliant ISO/IEC 15693-2/3 digital controller with true anticollision, fast inventory page read (B1h), and Long Range CMD (40h) per ISO/TR 7003. Its analog RF interface derives power and clock via inductive coupling, enabling operation without onboard energy storage.

Memory is partitioned into a protected Configuration Area (blocks −8 to −1, UID/passwords/AFI/DSFID) and User Memory (blocks 0–7, 256 bits accessible under write-protection conditions). All passwords (Privacy, Destroy, EAS) are 32-bit, require XOR-based transmission via Set Password (B3h), and support lock-once protection via Lock Password (B5h).

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 is supplied as a sawn wafer die on film frame carrier (FFC), 150 µm thick. It has no external pins - electrical connection is made exclusively via bonded RF coil terminals (ANT1/ANT2) for inductive coupling. No DC power supply pins or digital I/O interfaces are present.

FAQ

What is the resonance capacitance value of SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00?

The SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 has a typical resonance capacitance of 97.0 pF, as specified in Table 1 of the official NXP datasheet (Rev. 3.0, March 2007). This higher capacitance enables smaller antenna designs compared to the SL2ICS50 variant (23.5 pF) while maintaining full ISO/IEC 15693 compliance and 1.5 m operational range. The value is process-trimmed and not user-adjustable.

Does SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 support password-protected Privacy Mode, and how is it activated?

Yes, SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 supports 32-bit password-protected Privacy Mode. It is activated using the Enable Privacy command (BAh), which places the IC in a state where it responds only to Get Random Number (B2h) and Set Password (B3h). To exit Privacy Mode, the correct 32-bit Privacy password must be transmitted via Set Password. The password is XOR-transformed with a random number before transmission, as defined in Section 8.1.3.2 of the datasheet.

Can SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 be permanently disabled, and what command triggers this?

Yes, SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 can be permanently disabled using the Destroy SLI-L command (B9h). This irreversible action requires prior transmission of the valid 32-bit Destroy password via Set Password (B3h). Once executed, the IC ceases all RF communication - it will not respond to any ISO/IEC 15693 command, including Inventory or Get System Information. No hardware reset or power cycle restores functionality.

What memory organization does SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 use, and how much user-accessible space is available?

SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 organizes its 512-bit EEPROM into 16 blocks of 32 bits each (4 bytes per block). Blocks −8 to −1 constitute the protected Configuration Area (UID, passwords, AFI, DSFID), inaccessible for direct user writes. Blocks 0 to 7 form the User Memory area - 256 bits (8 blocks × 32 bits) - readable and writable subject to block-level lock status and password conditions. Each block is the smallest addressable unit.

Is SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 compatible with standard ISO/IEC 15693 readers, and what custom commands does it add?

Yes, SL2ICS5001EW/V7,00 is fully compatible with standard ISO/IEC 15693-2/3 readers. Beyond mandatory and optional ISO commands, it implements NXP-specific custom commands including Enable Privacy (BAh), Destroy SLI-L (B9h), Fast Inventory Page Read (B1h), Long Range CMD (40h), and password-managed EAS control (A2h–A7h). These extend functionality while preserving backward compatibility with legacy infrastructure.
