3 Chip design
Characteristics TargetsMinimise power consumption of NV memory, analogue and digital circuitsMinimise costs, maximize physical reliability Balance well power consumption with cell size and logical reliabilityAchieve reliable, interoperable and robust system behaviourAchieve security certificates
Maximise operating distanceOptimisation for non-standard RFID packages
Low , lower, lowest power
Low , lower, lowest chip size
Efficient NV - memory
Sophisticated analogue circuitry
Security for chip cards respective
Operating distance for labels

Summary RFID chips are challenging
Robust behavior on the air interface is key Design methodology and silicon manufacturing need to be
tailored to application specific requirements Special packages required
RFID chips are attractive
Fast growing markets High volumes Many application opportunities
Thank you for your attention !
