Mode Register
The mode register maintains a readable shadow copy of the configuration data held in byte 16
of the EEPROM. It is continually refreshed during read mode and (re-)loaded after every POR
event or reset command. Depending on the version, the configuration data is pre-programmed
when leaving Atmel’s production.
4.9
Modulator
The modulator encodes the serialized EEPROM data for transmission to a tag reader or a
base station. Modulation available: Manchester.

Memory
The memory is a 136-bit EEPROM, which is arranged in 17 bytes of 8 bits each. Programming
is carried out byte-wise, so a complete byte will be programmed with a single command.
Byte 16 contains the mode/configuration data, which is not transmitted during regular read
operations.
A special bit combination in byte 16 will lock the entire memory. Once locked, the memory
(including byte 16 itself) can not be re-programmed once more via the RF field.
