NXP Semiconductors SL3S3001FTT,118

Overview

SL3S3001FTT,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a UHF RFID tag IC compliant with ISO/IEC 18000-6 and ANSI/INCITS 256-2001 Part 4, operating at 860–960 MHz with up to 8.4 m read distance under FCC regulations. It integrates 2048-bit EEPROM, true anticollision arbitration, and contactless power harvesting. It serves as the core transponder IC in logistics and supply chain smart labels.

For engineers reviewing the SL3S3001FTT,118 datasheet, SL3S3001FTT,118 pinout, SL3S3001FTT,118 application, or SL3S3001FTT,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include UHF air interface compliance (ISO 18000-6), 2048-bit EEPROM organization with byte-level lock, TSSOP8 package compatibility, and regulatory performance across US/EU bands.

Technical Context

The SL3S3001FTT,118 implements a fully digital RF front-end with integrated charge pump and on-chip oscillator for passive operation. Its digital control sequencer manages ISO 18000-6 Type C command execution-including GROUP_SELECT_EQ, READ, WRITE_MULTIPLE, and LOCK-with real-time CRC-16 validation and bit coding for robust demodulation.

Memory access is governed by per-byte write protection and UID isolation: bytes 0–7 store immutable 64-bit serial number; bytes 8–223 provide 216 bytes of user memory with configurable lock states; all operations require valid anticollision session establishment before data transfer.

FAQ

What frequency bands does SL3S3001FTT,118 support?

SL3S3001FTT,118 supports 860–960 MHz (UHF) and 2.4–2.4835 GHz ISM bands. In practice, it is deployed primarily in 865.5–867.6 MHz (ETSI) and 902–928 MHz (FCC) configurations. Its RF interface is hardware-tuned for these ranges, and no external tuning components are required for compliance within those bands. SL3S3001FTT,118 achieves up to 8.4 m read distance in the FCC band using a single antenna.

Does SL3S3001FTT,118 require an external power source?

No, SL3S3001FTT,118 is a fully passive RFID IC. It derives all operating power from the RF electromagnetic field via its ANT1/ANT2 terminals using an integrated charge pump. No battery, capacitor, or external supply is needed. The on-chip oscillator generates the system clock, and internal regulation ensures stable EEPROM and logic operation down to −10 dBm incident RF power.

How is memory organized in SL3S3001FTT,118?

SL3S3001FTT,118 contains 2048-bit EEPROM divided into three regions: bytes 0–7 store a factory-programmed, immutable 64-bit UID; bytes 8–223 provide 216 bytes of user memory with individual byte-level lock capability; remaining bits support internal control and lock status. All memory is accessed via ISO 18000-6 Type C commands such as READ, WRITE_MULTIPLE, and LOCK.

Is SL3S3001FTT,118 compliant with ISO/IEC 18000-6?

Yes, SL3S3001FTT,118 is explicitly designed and verified for full compliance with ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C. It implements the mandatory command set-including GROUP_SELECT_EQ, READ_VERIFY, and QUERY_LOCK-and meets timing, modulation depth, and anticollision requirements defined in the standard. Certification documentation from Philips Semiconductors confirms conformance for both ETSI and FCC regulatory domains.

What package type is used for SL3S3001FTT,118?

SL3S3001FTT,118 is supplied in an 8-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, measuring 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.1 mm. This surface-mount package is optimized for automated assembly onto flexible or rigid antenna substrates and includes four NC (no-connect) pins to minimize parasitic coupling. The ANT1/ANT2 pins are positioned for low-inductance RF routing.
