Engineering Brief
The ICODE SLIX-L (SL2S5002/SL2S5102) is an ISO 15693-compliant vicinity RFID IC operating at 13.56 MHz, designed for privacy-conscious smart label applications. It features 512 bits total EEPROM (256 bits user-accessible) with 50-year data retention and 100,000 write cycles, supporting anticollision and up to 1.5 m read range. The chip includes three independent 32-bit password-protected features: Privacy Mode (selective muting), irreversible Destroy function, and EAS/AFI access control. Available as bumped wafer die or XSON3 package with typical on-chip capacitance of 23.5 pF (SL2S5002) or 97 pF (SL2S5102), it offers fast data rates up to 53 kbit/s and custom commands like fast inventory page read for high-throughput applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much user memory does the ICODE SLIX-L have?
The ICODE SLIX-L has 256 bits (32 bytes) of user-accessible memory, organized as part of a total 512-bit EEPROM structure with 16 blocks of 4 bytes each.
What is Privacy Mode on the ICODE SLIX-L?
Privacy Mode is a 32-bit password-protected feature that allows selective muting of the tag, preventing it from responding to reader commands until the correct password is provided. This protects user privacy by making the tag temporarily unreadable.
What is the read range of the ICODE SLIX-L chip?
The ICODE SLIX-L supports read ranges up to 1.5 meters, depending on reader power, antenna configuration, and environmental conditions.
Does the ICODE SLIX-L support EAS functionality?
Yes, the ICODE SLIX-L includes Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) and Application Family Identifier (AFI) features protected by a dedicated 32-bit password for retail anti-theft and application-specific filtering.
What is the DESTROY command on ICODE SLIX-L?
The DESTROY command is a 32-bit password-protected, irreversible function that permanently disables the tag. Once executed, the tag cannot be reactivated, providing a secure end-of-life solution.
What package options are available for ICODE SLIX-L?
The ICODE SLIX-L is available as bumped wafer die for antenna bonding or in XSON3 package. Two variants exist: SL2S5002 with 23.5 pF capacitance and SL2S5102 with 97 pF capacitance for different antenna tuning requirements.
