HITAG µ transponder IC
11.2 Mode switching protocol
After powering the HITAG µ transponder IC switches to the data exchange mode after
receiving one of the two possible switch commands from the RWD during the specified
switch window (see Table 10
and Figure 4 for details).

HITAG µ transponder IC
The RWD sends either the SOF at the start of a valid request or a special switch
command to the HITAG µ (as shown in Figure 5
) in order to transfer it into the data
exchange mode.
11.2.1 SWITCH
Setting the transponder into data exchange mode (advanced mode) is done by sending
SOF pattern or the switch command within the listening window (232.5 x T
C
). The
SWITCH command itself does not contain SOF and EOF.
