1  System overview 
The module described within this document is used in the following system environment: 
  VAG Immobilizer System WFS 5a  
The  VAG  Immobilizer  System  WFS  5a  is,  among  other  things,  an  integral  part  of  all  MQB 
instrument clusters. 
An immobilizer distinguishes between authorized and unauthorized users and thus it prevents the 
engine from running unless the correct key (transponder) is present. 
The microcircuit inside the key is activated by a small electromagnetic field which induces current 
to flow inside the key body, which in turn broadcasts a unique binary code which is read by the 
instrument cluster that includes the immobilizer  function. When the cluster determines that the 
coded key is both current and valid, the ECU activates the fuel-injection sequence.  
The immobilizer is an inductive application (Short Range Device), for this reason a radio approval 
(homologation) is required. 
All requirements refer to the specification “WFS 5a V1.9 Master” of the Volkswagen AG.

2  Transponder 
The  used  transponder  (STXP  AES)  is  a  read/write  RF  transponder.  It  transmits  Manchester 
coded  data  to  the  transceiver  by  modulating  the  amplitude  of  the  electromagnetic  field  and 
receives data and commands in a similar way. 
The transponder is supplied by carrier of an electromagnetic field induced on the attached coil. 
The  AC 
voltage is rectified in order to provide a DC internal supply voltage. When the DC voltage crosses 
the  Power-On  level,  the  transponder  will  enter  the  Standby  Mode  and  expects  commands. In 
Standby Mode a continuous sequence of Listen Windows (LIW) is generated. During this time, 
the  transponder  will  turn  to  the  Receive  Mode  (RM)  until  it  receives  a  valid  RM  pattern.  The 
transponder then expects a command to enter the desired mode of operation.

3  Power supply 
Because ANT drivers drive antenna with VDD and VSS power supply levels all variations and 
noise in power supply are directly fed to antenna resonant circuit. Any supply voltage fluctuations 
or ripple are transferred into antenna current fluctuations by the antenna driver transistors. This is 
equal to a current modulation that results in a voltage modulation at the antenna tap point. There 
is  no  possibility  for  the  demodulator  to  distinguish  this  modulation  from  the  transponder 
modulation (transponder signal superimposed on antenna voltage is in the range of tens of mV). 
Especially  in  the  passband  of  the  demodulator filters  (<10  kHz),  the  system  is  very  sensitive 
against supply hum and ripple. 
For this reason a separate linear voltage regulator is used for the immobilizer circuit. The Enable 
pin  of  this  regulator  is  controlled  by  the  microcontroller.  The  regulator  is  only  enabled  during 
transponder communication.
