1. General description
The HITAG product line is well known and established in the contactless identification
market.
Due to the open mark eting strategy of NXP Sem icon d uc to rs th er e ar e var io us
manufacturers well established for both the transponders / cards as well as the
Read/Write Devices. All of them supporting HITAG 1 and HITAG 2 transponder IC's. With
the new HITAG S family, this existing infrastructure is extended with the next generation of
IC’s being substantially smaller in mechanical size, lower in cost, offering more operation
distance and speed, but still being operated with the same reader infrastructure and
transponder manufacturing equipment.
One Protocol - two memory options.
The protocol and command structure for HITAG S is based on HITAG 1, including
anticollision algorithm.
Two different memory sizes are offered and can be operated using exactly the same
protocol.
HITAG S256 with 256 bit Total Memory Read/Write

HITAG S transponder IC
6. Block diagram
The HITAG S Transponder requires no external power supply. The contactless interface
generates the power supply and the system clock via the resonant circuitry by inductive
coupling to the Read /Write Device (RWD). The interface also demodulates data
transmitted from the R WD to the HITAG S T ransponder, and modulates the magnetic field
for data transmission from the HITAG S Transponder to the RWD.
Data are stored in a non-volatile memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM has a cap acity up to
2048 bit and is organized in 64 Pages consisting of 4 Bytes each (1 Page = 32 Bits).

7. Functional description
7.1 Memory organization
The EEPROM has a capacity up to 2048 bit and is organized in 16 Blocks, consisting of
4 Pages each, for commands with Block access. A Page consist s of 4 Bytes each (1 Page
= 32 Bits) and is the smallest access unit.
Addressing is done Page by Page (Page 0 to 63) and access is gained either Page by
Page or Block by Block entering the respective Page start address. In case of Block
Read/Write access, the transponder is processed from the start Page address with in one
block to the end of the corresponding block.
Two different types of HITAG S IC’s with different memor y sizes as shown in the figure
above are available.

7.4 Sta te Diagram
7.4.1 General Description of States
Power Off
The powering magnetic field is switched off or the HITAG S Transponder is out of field.
Ready
After start up phase, the HITAG S Transponder is ready to receive the first command.
Init
The HITAG S T ransp onder enters this State af ter the first UID REQUEST xx command. In
this State the Response Protocol Mode (see Section 7.5) may be changed by further
UID REQUEST xx commands. If ther e ar e sev er al HITAG S Transponders in the field of
the RWD antenna at the same time, the AC SEQUENCE can be started to determine the
UID of every HITAG S Transponder.
Authenticate
The HITAG S Transponder enters this State after a valid SELECT (UID) co mmand when
configured in Authentication Mode. After an encrypted CHALLENGE Authentication the
HITAG S Transponder changes into the Selected State.
Selected
The HITAG S Transponder enters this State after a valid SELECT (UID) co mmand when
configured in Plain Mode or a SELECT (UID) and CHALLENGE sequence when
configured in Authentication Mode. Only one HITAG S Transponder in the field of the
RWD anten na can be Selected at the same time. In this S t at e, Read and W rite operation s
are possible. Data Transmission is not encrypted even if configured in Authentication
Mode.
Quiet
The HITAG S Transponder enters this State after a SELECT_QUIET (UID) command in
Init St a te or a QUIET comman d in Selected State. In this State, the HITAG S Transponder
will not answer to any command. Switching off the powering magnetic field or moving the
HITAG S Transponder out of field enters it into the Power Off State.
Transponder Talks First (TTF)
The HITAG S Transponder enters this State when configured in TTF Mode if no
UID REQUEST xx command is received within the Mode switch window. Once entered
this State, the HITAG S Transponder continuously transmits data with configurable data
coding, data rate and data length.

7.5 Command set
7.5.1 UID REQUEST xx
7.5.2 AC SEQUENCE
If more than one HITAG S Transponder is in the field of the antenna a special designed
RWD detects the first collision at the Bit position N = k of the UID response. As a result the
RWD starts an Anticollision Sequence (AC SEQUENCE).
After transmitting this command, all HITAG S Transponders which first k Bits of the own
UID match with the k received UID Bits, answer with the SOF and the rest of their own
UID.
If a collision occurs again the described cycle has to be repeated until one valid UID of the
transponders in the field is determined.
The complete response of the HITAG S Transponder is transmitted in Anticollision Coding
(AC).

7.5.4 CHALLENGE
By means of the response of the SELECT (UID) command the RWD detects that the
HITAG S Transponder is configured in Authentication Mode (Bit AUT = 1) and starts the
encrypted Challe ng e sequ e nc e.
The Read/Write Device sends a 32 bit Random Number (RND) and a 32 bit secret data
stream to the transponder. In order to perform the secret data stream, a security
co-processor is required on the read/write Device.
If the received secret data stream corresponds with the secret data stream calculated by
the HITAG S Tr ansponder, a 32 bit Secret Response (secret data stream encrypting the
configuration byte CON 2, p assword high byte PWDH 0 and password low Bytes PWDL 0
and PWDL 1) is transmitted af ter the SOF.
The response of the HITAG S Transponder is transmitted in Manchester Coding (MC).
