Product details
Overview
SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 from NXP Semiconductors is an ISO/IEC 15693- and EPC Global–compliant contactless smart label IC designed for high-security, long-range RFID applications. It delivers 2048-bit EEPROM (64 blocks × 4 bytes), 13.56 MHz operation, up to 1.5 m read distance, 53 kbit/s data rate, and hardware-enforced privacy/destroy/password protection for asset tracking and supply chain systems.
For engineers reviewing the SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 datasheet, SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 pinout, SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 application, or SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, memory security architecture, ISO/EPC command compatibility, and real-world deployment constraints for industrial labeling and privacy-sensitive tagging.
Technical Context
The SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 implements dual-mode RF interface supporting both ISO/IEC 15693-3 and EPC Class 1 UHF-compatible command sets at 13.56 MHz, with true anti-collision handling up to ~200 tags/sec in EPC mode. Its analog front-end enables battery-free operation via inductive coupling and integrates resonant capacitance of 97.0 pF (HC variant), enabling compact antenna designs.
Digital control logic manages password-protected memory access across 10 user pages (40 blocks), enforces irreversible Destroy and Privacy modes via 32-bit passwords, and executes custom commands including Get Random Number (B2h), Set Password (B3h), and Inventory Page Read (B0h) with page-level protection status reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RF Standard | ISO/IEC 15693-2/-3 and EPC Global Class 1 compliant - ensures interoperability with global reader infrastructure and regulatory compliance in EU/US/Asia. |
| Operating Frequency | 13.56 MHz - license-free ISM band enables worldwide deployment without regional certification barriers. |
| Memory Capacity | 2048-bit EEPROM (64 × 4-byte blocks) - supports EPC code storage, AFI/DSFID configuration, and 160 bytes of protected user data. |
| Read Distance | Up to 1.5 m - enables gate-width logistics scanning without line-of-sight, validated under European long-range regulations. |
| Data Rate | 53 kbit/s - doubles throughput vs legacy 26.48 kbit/s tags, reducing multi-tag interrogation time in dense environments. |
| Resonant Capacitance | 97.0 pF (typical) - HC variant allows smaller antenna footprint vs SL2ICS53 (23.5 pF), critical for thin-label form factors. |
| Security Mechanisms | 32-bit Passwords for Read/Write/Privacy/Destroy/EAS + 64-bit dual-password mode - prevents unauthorized memory access or tag deactivation. |
Pinout & Package
SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 is supplied as a sawn wafer die on film frame carrier (FFC), 150 µm thick, with no external pins or terminals. It interfaces exclusively via inductive coupling through an external printed/wound/etched coil antenna - no physical electrical connections are required or defined.
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Long-range operation | 1.5 m gate-width read range enabled by optimized 97.0 pF resonance and high-sensitivity analog front-end. |
| Password-protected privacy mode | 32-bit Privacy password (BCh command) disables all responses except Get Random Number - meets GDPR-aligned customer privacy requirements. |
| Irreversible destroy function | 32-bit Destroy password (B9h) permanently disables tag communication - prevents reuse in high-value asset retirement. |
| Page-level memory protection | 4-byte blocks grouped into 10 pages; each page configurable for public, read-only, write-only, or dual-password access (B6h). |
| EPC and ISO dual-command support | Single IC executes full ISO inventory/read/write and EPC fast-identification workflows - eliminates need for dual-chip labels. |
Applications
| Supply Chain Management | Asset Tracking |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-throughput pallet/case scanning at warehouse dock doors using fixed-mount readers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Contactless RFID tag IC providing UID, EPC, and user memory for serialized item identification and movement logging.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar contactless smart label IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL2ICS5301EW/V7 | Lower resonant capacitance (23.5 pF vs 97.0 pF); requires larger antenna for same 1.5 m range. | Better suited for standard-label form factors where antenna size is unconstrained. | Select SL2ICS5301EW/V7 when cost sensitivity outweighs miniaturization needs and antenna geometry permits larger coils. |
| SL2FCS5401EV/DH | Flip Chip Package (FCP) format - pre-mounted die with solder bumps, not wafer-on-film. | Designed for automated flip-chip bonding onto flexible substrates or modules, not direct antenna coupling. | Choose SL2FCS5401EV/DH for high-volume module assembly requiring pick-and-place compatibility and thermal reliability. |
Compared with SL2ICS5301EW/V7, the SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 enables smaller antenna footprints without sacrificing range, while SL2FCS5401EV/DH shifts integration from antenna-coupled wafer to surface-mountable packaged die - selecting among them depends on mechanical integration method, antenna design constraints, and production assembly capability.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 and SL2ICS5301EW/V7?
The SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 features a higher built-in resonance capacitance of 97.0 pF (vs 23.5 pF for SL2ICS5301EW/V7), enabling smaller antenna designs while maintaining the same 1.5 m read distance. This makes SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 ideal for space-constrained smart labels where miniaturization is critical, whereas SL2ICS5301EW/V7 suits applications with more generous antenna area.
Does SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 support both ISO/IEC 15693 and EPC Global protocols simultaneously?
Yes, SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 natively supports both ISO/IEC 15693-3 and EPC Global Class 1 command sets on the same 13.56 MHz interface. It executes distinct anti-collision, inventory, and memory access commands for each standard - allowing seamless integration into mixed-protocol reader ecosystems without firmware modification.
How is memory protection implemented on SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00?
SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 implements hierarchical memory protection: 64 blocks are grouped into 10 pages; each page can be set to public, read-protected, write-protected, or dual-password-protected via B6h command. Protection is enforced by 32-bit passwords for Read, Write, Privacy, Destroy, and EAS functions - all transmitted via B3h Set Password before access.
What happens when the Destroy command is executed on SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00?
When the Destroy command (B9h) is issued with the correct 32-bit Destroy password, SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 enters a permanent non-responsive state: it ceases all RF communication, ignores all subsequent commands (including ISO and EPC), and cannot be reactivated or reprogrammed - ensuring irreversible deactivation for end-of-life asset retirement.
Is SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 compatible with existing I•CODE SLI-S reader infrastructure?
Yes, SL2ICS5401EW/V7,00 maintains full backward compatibility with I•CODE SLI-S readers certified for ISO/IEC 15693-3. Its UID format, command timing, CRC implementation, and anti-collision behavior match the established I•CODE SLI-S specification - enabling drop-in replacement without reader firmware updates or configuration changes.
