Introduction
The M24LR64-R is a Dual Interface EEPROM which targets a wide range of applications
such as industrial or medical equipment and consumer electronics. It provides extra
flexibility for the design of electronic devices and for upgrading equipment parameters.
Because it features an RFID and a serial interface, the M24LR64-R is also a good fit for
RFID-enabled sensors, for which ST has developed a reference design. This user guide
describes how to use the "M24LR64-R data logger reference design", an autonomous
battery-powered RFID tag with data logger capability for recording and storing 64 Kbits of
temperature data (~4000 values).
The M24LR64-R provides:
I²C serial interface operating at 400 kHz, from 1.8 V to 5.5 V
ISO15693 / ISO 18000-3 mode 1 RF interface operating at 13.56 MHz
64 Kbit EEPROM user memory
32-bit password protection (not used in this reference design)
M24LR64-R powered data loggers can use different types of sensors such as temperature,
pressure, shock, humidity or other environmental factors. The transported articles can be
tracked throughout the supply chain, and the data can be scanned at any point using an
RFID reader.
The "M24LR64-R data logger reference design" is intended to help you get started with your
own data logger design. It uses a temperature sensor and and enables the user to start and
stop temperature acquisition and to set the acquisition frequency.

    The data logger application software can be started from: ● a suite of Dual Interface EEPROM software called "M24LRxx_Application_Software" ● or from the standalone M24LR64-R Data Logger Application. The user interface is almost the same in both cases. Before starting you must first: ●...
  • Page 7 UM0925 Getting started You must select one of the three following kits to work with the M24LR64-R datalogger: ● Starter kit ● Demo kit (USB based) ● Demo kit (based on the RS232 port - old version) ● Development kit Then press the OK button.
  • Page 8 Once the kit has been selected, the software checks that the selected readers are properly connected. A progress bar appears during the check as shown in Figure Figure 6. Connection check performed by the M24LR64-R datalogger software 8/22 Doc ID17271 Rev 2...
