STMicroelectronics M24LR16E-RMN6T/2 Dual Interface EEPROM

The M24LR16E-RMN6T/2 is a dynamic NFC/RFID tag IC with a dual interface EEPROM, developed by STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader. This product integrates a 16-Kbit Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory (EEPROM) which can be accessed either through a low-power I²C interface or an ISO 15693 RF interface. The dual-interface feature allows the device to communicate with the vast majority of NFC-enabled phones and RFID readers, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications in the industrial, medical, and consumer markets.

The EEPROM memory is organized as 512 blocks of 32 bits, providing flexibility in data management and security. The M24LR16E-RMN6T/2 also includes an Energy Harvesting feature that can be used to power external devices from the harvested RF energy, thus enabling battery-less solutions. The device operates across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for harsh environments.

This product is equipped with several safety and security features, including a 64-bit password protection mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to the EEPROM. The dynamic tuning feature ensures reliable communication with the reader even in the presence of environmental changes or in case of antenna detuning events.

The M24LR16E-RMN6T/2 is available in an SO8N package and is RoHS compliant. Its low power consumption and small form factor make it an excellent choice for portable and compact designs. The device also supports fast data transfer modes, with an I²C fast mode of up to 400 kHz and a high-speed RF data rate of 26 Kbps using the ISO 15693 protocol.

Overall, the M24LR16E-RMN6T/2 is a versatile and reliable choice for designers looking to incorporate NFC/RFID capabilities into their products, with the added benefits of energy harvesting and advanced security features.
