Product details
Overview
SL3S1203FTB0,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a UHF RFID Gen2 transponder IC compliant with EPCglobal v1.2.0, featuring 128-bit EPC memory, 64-bit TID with factory-locked 32-bit serial number, -18 dBm passive sensitivity, integrated Product Status Flag (PSF), and memory read protection. It operates across 840–960 MHz and supports item-level tagging in retail apparel and PCB authentication.
For engineers reviewing the SL3S1203FTB0,115 datasheet, SL3S1203FTB0,115 pinout, SL3S1203FTB0,115 application, or SL3S1203FTB0,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use value per application, and two confirmed alternative parts for supply continuity and functional alignment in UHF RFID system design.
Technical Context
The SL3S1203FTB0,115 implements a fully EPCglobal v1.2.0-compliant digital control block with analog RF interface and EEPROM memory. Its architecture enables passive operation via RF field rectification and supports optional external 1.85 V supply on VDD to boost sensitivity to -27 dBm for both READ and WRITE operations.
It integrates a configurable 16-bit Configuration Word at EPC bank address 200h, enabling feature activation-including PSF alarm, read range reduction (4R mode), and bank-wise read protection-using standard EPC READ/WRITE commands when unlocked or the ChangeConfig custom command when locked.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| EPC Memory | 128-bit; stores item identifier for supply chain traceability and inventory management |
| TID Memory | 64-bit including 32-bit factory-locked unique serial number; enables unalterable device identity and anti-counterfeiting |
| Passive Sensitivity | -18 dBm; achieves extended read range with simple single-port antenna designs |
| External Supply Mode | Supports 1.85 V on VDD; boosts sensitivity to -27 dBm for equal READ/WRITE range in powered applications |
| Operating Frequency | 840–960 MHz; globally compliant for use in EU, US, and APAC regulatory domains |
| Temperature Range | -40 °C to +85 °C; ensures reliable operation in industrial, retail, and automotive environments |
| Data Retention | 20 years; guarantees long-term integrity of EPC and TID data in archival and asset tracking systems |
Pinout & Package
SL3S1203FTB0,115 is housed in an XSON6 package (SOT886F1), measuring 1.0 × 1.45 × 0.5 mm, with no leads and six terminals. The package is optimized for thin-label integration and high-yield assembly on flexible substrates.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RFP | Ungrounded antenna connector; connects to the high-impedance side of loop or dipole antenna |
| 2 | n.c. | Not connected; electrically isolated and must remain unconnected in layout |
| 3 | RFN | Grounded antenna connector; completes antenna impedance matching network |
| 4 | OUT | Output pin; used for digital switch, data transfer, or tamper alarm signaling in G2iL+ variants (not active in G2iL) |
| 5 | n.c. | Not connected; electrically isolated and must remain unconnected in layout |
| 6 | VDD | External supply terminal; enables -27 dBm sensitivity mode when biased at 1.85 V (G2iL+ only) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Product Status Flag (PSF) | Enables EAS-style theft deterrence without backend database by flagging tag status during inventory rounds |
| Bank-wise Read Protection | Independent locking of EPC and TID memory banks prevents unauthorized access while preserving selective readability |
| Real Read Range Reduction (4R) | Reduces chip sensitivity to +12 dBm, limiting read distance to centimeters for privacy-critical applications |
| Integrated Tamper Alarm | Monitors VDD–OUT connection integrity; triggers alarm upon physical breakage for wireless safety seal implementation |
| RF Field Detection | VDD pad acts as RF detector, generating immediate pulse on field entry-enabling wake-on-field functionality |
Applications
| Apparel Item-Level Tagging | PCB Authentication & Traceability |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Attaching RFID tags to garments during manufacturing for automated checkout, inventory reconciliation, and loss prevention. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive UHF transponder storing EPC and TID; responds to reader interrogation using backscatter modulation. Use Value: High -18 dBm sensitivity enables reliable reads through fabric layers and folded items without antenna tuning. | Use Scenario: Embedding SL3S1203FTB0,115 into printed circuit boards for post-production verification, firmware binding, and counterfeit detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Permanent identity anchor with factory-locked 32-bit serial number and 20-year data retention.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital switch endpoint controlled via Configuration Word; toggles external circuit state on command. Use Value: Eliminates mechanical switches and manual setup steps-activation occurs automatically during retail scanning. | Use Scenario: Labeling shipping containers, airline baggage, or logistics pallets for global tracking across multi-reader environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gen2-compliant transponder supporting dense-reader anti-collision and international frequency bands. Use Value: Broad 840–960 MHz operation and high interference suppression ensure consistent reads in noisy port/warehouse settings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar UHF RFID transponder applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL3S1213FTB0,115 | G2iL+ variant with active OUT/VDD I/O features (digital switch, data transfer, tamper alarm); same XSON6 package and pinout | Required where external device interaction or tamper-evident sealing is needed | Select SL3S1213FTB0,115 if powered-mode operation, RF field detection, or digital output control is required |
| SL900A1TTB0,115 | Sensor-enabled UHF RFID IC with integrated temperature, voltage, and event logging; larger 3.2 × 3.2 mm TFBGA package | Used for condition monitoring (e.g., cold chain, battery health) rather than pure identification | Choose SL900A1TTB0,115 only when environmental sensing and data logging are mandatory |
Compared with SL3S1213FTB0,115, the SL3S1203FTB0,115 omits I/O functionality but retains identical EPC/TID structure and passive performance-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, pure-identification deployments. Versus SL900A1TTB0,115, it offers smaller footprint and lower power consumption but no sensor capability, aligning strictly with identification and authentication use cases.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency range supported by SL3S1203FTB0,115?
The SL3S1203FTB0,115 operates across 840–960 MHz, meeting ETSI EN 302 208, FCC Part 15, and ARIB STD-T66 requirements. This broad band enables single-design deployment in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific markets without hardware modification. Its low Q-factor antenna interface further simplifies global antenna tuning.
Does SL3S1203FTB0,115 support external power supply?
No-SL3S1203FTB0,115 is the G2iL variant and does not support external supply mode. Only the G2iL+ variant (e.g., SL3S1213FTB0,115) enables 1.85 V bias on VDD to achieve -27 dBm sensitivity. The SL3S1203FTB0,115 operates exclusively in passive mode with -18 dBm sensitivity.
How is memory protected on SL3S1203FTB0,115?
SL3S1203FTB0,115 supports bank-wise read protection for EPC and TID memory independently via its Configuration Word at EPC address 200h. When enabled, protected memory returns zeros on read attempts. A 32-bit kill password and 32-bit access password provide irreversible disablement and secured-state transition capabilities.
Can SL3S1203FTB0,115 be used for tamper-evident applications?
No-tamper alarm functionality requires the G2iL+ variant (SL3S1213FTB0,115), which monitors the VDD–OUT connection. The SL3S1203FTB0,115 lacks the necessary I/O circuitry and configuration bits. However, its Product Status Flag (PSF) can still serve as a basic EAS indicator when paired with reader-side logic.
What package type and dimensions does SL3S1203FTB0,115 use?
SL3S1203FTB0,115 uses the XSON6 package (SOT886F1), measuring 1.0 × 1.45 × 0.5 mm with no leads. Its ultra-thin profile and 6-terminal layout support embedding in laminated labels, smart packaging, and space-constrained PCBs without requiring solder reflow compatibility beyond standard lead-free processes.
