Product details
Overview
SL2MOS5401EV,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless chip card module integrating the SL2ICS5401 IC in SOT500AA1 package, compliant with ISO/IEC 15693-2 and -3 standards. It operates at 13.56 MHz, delivers ≥280 μW minimum supply power, supports EEPROM with 100,000 write cycles and 10-year data retention, and functions across −25 °C to +85 °C for RFID tag applications in access control and item identification.
For engineers reviewing the SL2MOS5401EV,118 datasheet, SL2MOS5401EV,118 pinout, SL2MOS5401EV,118 application, or SL2MOS5401EV,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include RF voltage modulation capability, LA–LB input capacitance (92–102 pF), supply voltage range (±2.5 to ±2.9 Vrms), demodulator response timing, and compliance with ISO/IEC 15693 physical layer requirements.
Technical Context
The SL2MOS5401EV,118 implements a passive 13.56 MHz RFID interface with on-chip voltage limitation circuitry protecting LA–LB terminals against overcurrent (±60 mApeak). Its internal SL2ICS5401 IC provides load modulation, EEPROM storage, and demodulation logic aligned to ISO/IEC 15693-3 pulse shape tolerances.
It requires no external power source, deriving operating energy from the reader's RF field. The module's input capacitance (92–102 pF at 13.56 MHz) and narrow bandwidth (±7 kHz) are optimized for ISM band operation and resonant coil coupling per ISO/IEC 15693-2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating frequency | 13.553–13.567 MHz - matches ISO/IEC 15693 carrier tolerance and enables interoperability with standard HF readers. |
| Supply voltage (READ/WRITE/EAS) | ±2.5 to ±2.9 Vrms - defines minimum field strength required for reliable command execution without external regulation. |
| Input capacitance (LA–LB) | 92–102 pF at 13.56 MHz - sets resonant tank design constraints for antenna matching and read range optimization. |
| Minimum operating supply power | 280 μW - determines minimum coupled RF power needed to sustain EEPROM write and demodulator operation. |
| EEPROM write endurance | 100,000 cycles - supports repeated tag personalization in logistics or asset tracking deployments. |
| Data retention time | 10 years at ≤55 °C - ensures long-term validity of stored identifiers or configuration data in ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
SL2MOS5401EV,118 uses the SOT500AA1 plastic leadless module carrier package (35 mm tape width), a surface-mountable RFID module with two RF interface terminals only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LA | RF antenna terminal A | One side of differential RF input; connects to antenna coil leg; subject to on-chip current limiting (±60 mApeak). |
| LB | RF antenna terminal B | Second side of differential RF input; completes resonant LC tank with LA and external capacitor; voltage-limited relative to LA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 15693-2 & -3 compliance | Guarantees interoperability with commercial HF RFID readers via defined modulation, pulse shapes, and timing tolerances. |
| On-chip voltage limitation | Protects LA–LB terminals from overvoltage transients without external clamping components, simplifying system-level ESD robustness. |
| Integrated EEPROM | 100,000 write cycles and 10-year data retention enable field-programmable tag identity and configuration without battery support. |
| ISM-band-optimized bandwidth | ±7 kHz deviation aligns with regulatory limits for 13.56 MHz operation, preventing out-of-band emissions and reader interference. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar passive HF RFID transponder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL2MOS5301EV,118 | Based on SL2ICS5301 IC; lower EEPROM capacity and no EAS support. | Lacks Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) functionality; suitable only for basic ID storage. | Select when EAS flagging is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature set. |
| SL2MOS5402EV,118 | Same SL2ICS5401 core but in SOT500AA2 package with different tape width (24 mm). | Identical electrical behavior and protocol support; differs only in packaging format and reel dimensions. | Choose for compatibility with narrower pick-and-place feeders or legacy tape-handling equipment. |
Compared with SL2MOS5401EV,118, the SL2MOS5301EV,118 omits EAS and reduces memory flexibility, while SL2MOS5402EV,118 maintains full functional equivalence but requires verification of tape-width compatibility in automated assembly.
