The
STMicroelectronics M24LR64-R Dual Access Protocol RF EEPROM
family of memories provides the flexibility to remotely program or update electronic products anytime during their lifetime and anywhere in the supply chain. The
EEPROM
memory bank of the
STMicroelectronics M24LR64-R
can be accessed either by a standard I²C interface or by an ISO 15693
RF
interface. The ISO 15693
RF
interface is based on a passive RFID technology that does not require a battery or power to operate but instead gets the energy and data stream from the
RF
reader. This
STMicroelectronics Dual Access Protocol EEPROM
family is based on two industry-standard interfaces and features a unique and flexible data protection scheme that protects some or all of the information contained in the memory. The
M24LR64-R
family is optimized for use in a variety of applications, including medical equipment, industrial equipment, factory and building automation, computers / peripherals, and consumer electronics.

M24LR-DISCOVERY Kit
NEW! The STMicroelectronics M24LR-DISCOVERY Kit is an easy-access development platform for the innovative contactless memories (M24LR64-R) with unique energy-harvesting capabilities. The M24LR Discovery Kit contains everything engineers need to start designing battery-free electronic applications that can exchange data with ISO15693-compatible NFC-enabled smartphones or RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) reader-writers. The turn-key development platform helps accelerate the creation and integration of energy-autonomous data collection, asset tracking or diagnostics capabilities in a wide variety of applications, including phone and tablet accessories, computer peripherals, electronic shelf labels, home appliances, industrial automation, sensing and monitoring systems, and personal healthcare products.
The M24LR Discovery Kit consists of two boards: an RF transceiver board with a 13.56MHz multi-protocol RFID/NFC transceiver (CR95HF) driven by an STM32 32-bit microcontroller, which powers and communicates wirelessly with a battery-less board that includes ST’s dual-interface EEPROM memory IC (M24LR), an ultra-low-power 8-bit microcontroller (STM8L) and a temperature sensor (STTS75).
