Engineering Brief
The ICODE SLIX (SL2S2002/SL2S2102) is a third-generation ISO 15693 HF RFID chip operating at 13.56 MHz with 1024 bits EEPROM (896 bits user-accessible). It features anticollision, password-protected EAS and AFI functionality, operating distances up to 1.5 m, and data rates up to 53 kbit/s. Security includes a unique non-alterable UID, per-block write protection, and 32-bit password protection for EAS/AFI. Available in wafer, XSON3, and MOA8 module formats with typical capacitance values of 23.5 pF (SL2S2002) or 97 pF (SL2S2102) between antenna pads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much memory does the NXP ICODE SLIX have?
The ICODE SLIX has 1024 bits total EEPROM organized in 32 blocks of 4 bytes each, with 896 bits available as user memory and 128 bits reserved for configuration. Each block can be individually write-protected.
What is the read range of the ICODE SLIX tag?
The ICODE SLIX achieves operating distances up to 1.5 meters depending on antenna design, reader power, and environmental conditions. It operates at 13.56 MHz using ISO 15693 protocol with data rates up to 53 kbit/s.
Does the ICODE SLIX support EAS and AFI functionality?
Yes, the ICODE SLIX includes Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) and Application Family Identifier (AFI) features protected by a 32-bit password. This enables retail theft prevention and application-specific filtering during inventory operations.
What security features does the ICODE SLIX offer?
The ICODE SLIX provides a unique non-alterable 64-bit UID for authentication, 32-bit password protection for EAS and AFI functions, per-block lock mechanisms for user memory, and Data Storage Format Identifier (DSFID) support for secure data management.
What is the difference between SL2S2002 and SL2S2102?
The SL2S2002 and SL2S2102 are variants of the ICODE SLIX with different antenna capacitances: the SL2S2002 has 23.5 pF while the SL2S2102 has 97 pF between antenna pads, allowing optimization for different antenna designs and form factors.
Is the ICODE SLIX compatible with ISO 15693 readers?
Yes, the ICODE SLIX is fully compliant with ISO/IEC 15693-2, ISO/IEC 15693-3, and ISO/IEC 18000-3 standards, ensuring interoperability with standard ISO 15693 HF RFID readers operating at 13.56 MHz.
