Summary description
The XRAG2 is a full-featured, low-cost integrated circuit for use in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) transponders (tags) operating at UHF frequencies. It is a 432-bit memory organized in 16-bit Words in 3 or 4 memory banks as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. When connected to an antenna, the operating power is derived from RF energy produced by the RFID reader. Incoming data are demodulated and decoded from the received Double-Side Band Amplitude Shift Keying (DSB-ASK), Single-Side Band Amplitude Shift Keying (SSB-ASK) or Phase-Reversal Amplitude Shift Keying modulation signal. Outgoing data are generated by antenna reflectivity variations using either the FM0 or Miller bit coding principle (RFID reader parameter). A Kill function is provided to permanently disable the tag. Anti-collision features enable the rapid inventorying of tag populations. Communication between reader and tag are Half-duplex meaning that tags do not decode reader commands while backscattering. The data transfer rate is defined by the local UHF frequency regulations. The XRAG2 is fully compliant with the ePC Global Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID specification (Revision 1.0.9) for the radio-frequency power and signal interface. Figure 2. Pad connections

The XRAG2 is specifically designed for extended range applications that need automatic item identification. The XRAG2 provides a fast and flexible anti-collision protocol that is robust in noisy and unpredictable RF conditions typical of RFID applications. The XRAG2 EEPROM memory can be read and write which enable users to program the EPC code and USER memory at the point of application, if desired.

XRAG2 memory mapping
The XRAG2 is a 432-bit memory divided into a 3-memory bank (without USER memory) or 4-memory bank (with USER memory) configuration. Each bank is organized into 16-bit Words. The reader can read part or all of each memory bank in single or multiple groups of 16-bit Words. Use the WRITE command to write to device memory using 16-bit Words. The BLOCKWRITE command enables readers to write up to four 16-bit Words to device memory at a single time. Erase multiple 16-bit Words (up to the complete memory bank) using the BLOCKERASE command.
