There is a strong motivation for the implementation of electronic identification systems and wireless sensors in hospitals. This work presents a sensor enabled passive RFID tag for patient monitorization. Special attention is paid to the analog FE, which has been designed and implemented in a low cost 0.35 μm CMOS standard process. The proposed front-end architecture allows the implementation of power...
A novel CMOS temperature sensor embedded in a passive UHF RFID tag is presented. The sensor consists of a temperature-to-current converter, two current-starved ring oscillators and two digital counters. High power consumption band-gap voltage references and traditional ADCs are not used for low power design. Post-layout simulation show that the power consumption is 0.64 μW with a supply voltage of...
A novel two stage wakeup unit is proposed for Semi-passive temperature logger tag based on ISO 18000-6c Rev1 air interface protocol for RFID tags. This wakeup unit assists the tag to realize a temperature log1 function, a high sensitivity and low standby current level. It has been designed and fabricated in SMIC 0.18um process as part of the whole tag. Measurement results show that the tag can reduce...
A temperature sensor intended for RFID applications has been realized in a 0.16μm standard CMOS process. After a single digital trim at 30°C, it achieves an inaccuracy of ±0.2°C (3σ) over the temperature range: -30°C to 125°C. At a conversion rate of 10Hz, it achieves a resolution of 15mK. The sensor is compact, occupying only 0.12mm2, and power efficient, drawing 4.6μA from a 1.6V to 2V supply, which...
We present a new battery-free RFID sensor which can be used as a node of a low cost sensor network. It can be used to detect either temperature and gas concentration, depending on the choice of the sensitive element. Its main features are a low consumption, a temperature sensibility range from 0 to 70°C with a maximum reading distance of 7 m and an ammonia detection sensibility range from 0 to 10...
This paper presents a battery-less tire pressure monitoring system. Electro-magnetic field energy harvesting is utilized. The chip is also capable of RFID in a frequency range from 1MHz to 2.45GHz. The sensor data is transmitted either by an active transmitter at 868MHz or by employing the RFID feature. A bulk acoustic wave resonator is used as frequency reference for the active transmitter. An external...
In this paper, a ring oscillator-based CMOS temperature sensor with nano-watt power consumption is presented for RFID applications. Unlike conventional temperature sensors based on bandgap reference and ADC that consume large amount of power, the proposed sensor exploits the temperature dependence of the threshold voltage and carrier mobility of MOS transistors that affect the frequency of a ring...
