EPC Memory Bank

EPC memory is writable, allowing EPC values to be read and rewritten as needed.

This is the primary memory area for storing EPCs, which can range from 96 to 496 bits. The EPC memory consists of: - 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC-16) for error detection - 16-bit Protocol Control (PC) for managing EPC transmission - Starting from Word 2, the actual EPC number

The EPC memory bank is managed by the Protocol Control (PC) field, which determines how many bits of EPC data are sent back to the reader.
