In the case this bit is set to logic 1 the word just written
by Write Word command is read before EM4469
transitions back in Default Read mode.
Please note that since reading from Password word is
not possible this is the only possibility to read back the
password just written.

Organisation of Protection Word
The Protection word protects EEPROM words from being
written.
The bits in protection word are one time programmable
(OTP) which means that once they have been set to 1
they can not be reset to 0 any more.
Every EEPROM word is protected by a bit pair in
Protection word. State 00 of the pair means that the word
is not protected, state 11 means write protection. 01 and
10 states are not allowed. Due to the OTP feature of bits
in Protection word a word once protected becomes read
only and can not be reverted back to RW. Please note
that it is possible to protect the Protection word itself, in
that case the protection system is locked and cannot be
changed any more.

The protection bits of RO words 0 and 1 are already

EEPROM Delivery State
As already mentioned above, in all cases the words 0
and 1 are factory programmed and locked.
In the case a Customer code is attributed, the content of
other words can be personalised according to customer
wish.
In case of default configuration with Customer code 1
Password, Configuration word and user free words are
all set to 0, the protection bits of RO words 0 and 1 are of
course factory programmed to 1, other protection bits are
also set to 0.

Default Read
After the supply voltage crosses the POR threshold, the
circuit enters Power-up Initialisation in which it reads
Configuration word and then transitions in Default Read
mode according to configuration just read.
In Default Read mode the chip will continuously send
data starting from word 5 and finishing with word LWR.
After sending last bit (31) of word LWR readout continues
without interruption with first bit of word 5. In the case
word 5 is set as LWR only word 5 is repeated.
Forward Link Communication
(Reader to Tag)
As already mentioned commands can be send from
reader to tag by initiating a command while chip is in
Default read. The communication is done by using 100%
modulation of reader field (also called field stops or
OOK).
The first field stop initialise Command mode. Since it can
happen while modulator switch is OFF it needs to be long
enough to stop oscillation on coil terminals for at least
T
MONO
