If the write cannot take place (because Counter has a value of 0x8000, Page 2 is locked

or no password has been sent), then a NACK command will be issued by the PICC; oth-

erwise, an ACK command will be transmitted after the write has completed.

Command Formats

The first byte of each command includes the CID as the least significant nibble followed

by the command opcode (COP) as the most significant nibble. COP is encoded accord-

ing to Table 3.

All these commands consist of 12 bytes to be sent to the PICC by the PCD. CID is the

card ID byte as received by the PICC during the anticollision sequence. The address

field in the following chart is a 5-bit value, and the device ignores the most significant

three bits of the byte. Therefore, the device will interpret a value of 0xFF as 0x1F.

The command bytes are shown in Table 4.
