ISO/IEC 15693

ISO/IEC 15693, is an ISO/IEC standard for vicinity cards, i.e. cards which can be read from a greater distance as compared with proximity cards. Such cards can normally be read out by a reader without being powered themselves, as the reader will supply the necessary power to the card over the air (wireless).

Standard
The standard is developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1 (Joint Technical Committee 1) / SC 17 (Subcommittee 17) .. Parts • ISO/IEC 15693-1:2018 Part 1: Physical characteristic • ISO/IEC 15693-2:2019 Part 2: Air interface and initialization • ISO/IEC 15693-3:2019 Part 3: Anticollision and transmission protocol == Example applications ==
Example applications
• Ski pass: each of those has a unique ID and the system knows for how long the pass is valid etc. == Communication to the card ==
Communication to the card
Communication from the reader to the card uses an amplitude-shift keying with 10% or 100% modulation index. The data coding is: ;1 out of 4 pulse-position modulation: 2 bits are coded as the position of a 9.44 μs pause in a 75.52 μs symbol time, giving a bit rate of 26.48 kilobits per second. The least-significant bits are sent first. ;1 out of 256 pulse-position modulation: 8 bits are coded as the position of a 9.44 μs pause in a 4.833 ms symbol time, giving a bit rate of 1.65 kbit/s. == Communication to the reader ==
Communication to the reader
The card has two ways to send its data back to the reader. Both use a subcarrier transmitted back to the reader using load modulation. Amplitude-shift keying Amplitude-shift keying 100% modulation index on a 423.75 kHz subcarrier. The data rate can be: • Low 6.62 kbit/s (fc/2048) • High 26.48 kbit/s (fc/512) A logic 0 starts with eight pulses of 423.75 kHz followed by an unmodulated time of 18.88 μs (256/ fc); a logic 1 is the other way round. The data frame delimiters are code violations, a start of frame is: • an unmodulated time of 56.64 μs (768/ fc), • 24 pulses of 423.75 kHz • a logic 1 and the end of a frame is: • a logic 0 • 24 pulses of 423.75 kHz • an unmodulated time of 56.64 μs The data are sent using a Manchester code. Frequency-shift keying Frequency-shift keying by switching between a 423.75 kHz sub carrier (operating frequency divided by 32) and a 484.25 kHz sub carrier (operating frequency divided by 28). The data rate can be: • Low 6.67 kbit/s (fc/2032) • High 26.69 kbit/s (fc/508) A logic 0 starts with eight pulses of 423.75 kHz followed by nine pulses of 484.28 kHz; a logic 1 is the other way round. The data frame delimiters are code violations, a start of frame is: • 27 pulses of 484.28 kHz • 24 pulses of 423.75 kHz • a logic 1 and the end of a frame is: • a logic 0 • 24 pulses of 423.75 kHz • 27 pulses of 484.28 kHz The data are sent using a Manchester code. == Manufacturer codes ==
