Issues in Integrated Circuit Design for UHF RFID Zhihua WANG,Xuguang SUN, Chun ZHANG,Yongming LI Institute of Microelectronics, Tsinghua University,Beijing,100084,P.R.China RFIT2007-IEEE International Workshop on Radio-Frequency Integration Technology, pp.322-328 Dec.9-11,2007,Singapore Advisor: Yens ho Reporter: C.C.Lan
Outline • Introuction • Issues in Tag • Issues in Reader • Design Instances • Conclusion C.C.Lan
Introduction • Bar code • Disadvantage- • Lack of programmability • Limited storage capacity • In sight operation distance and low data throughput • RFID system • Consists of • A reader • Several tags C.C.Lan
Issues in Tag • Low Power Design • Rectifier Design • Anti-collision Mechanism • Security Mechanism • On-chip Antenna C.C.Lan
Low Power Design • Digital: • Lower the supply voltage • 1.5V supply voltage in 0.5 m CMOS process • 1.14V supply voltage in 0.18 m CMOS process • 0.6V supply voltage in 0.18 m CMOS process • Lower the clock frequency • Clock separation technique(3.35~3.75MHz clock for PIE decoding) • Digital clock manager(1MHz to produce a synchronous 40KHz clock with Manchester-coded) C.C.Lan
Low Power Design • Analog: • Voltage regulator • Perform well as the input RF power varies more than 30dB • Design regulator into two stages( near field, far field) • On-chip oscillator • Ring oscillator • Current starve ring oscillator • Low voltage current mirrors C.C.Lan
Rectifier Design C.C.Lan
Rectifier Design C.C.Lan
Anti-collision Mechanism • Aloha based protocol • To reduce the collision probability by separating tag transmission in distinct time slot • Key research- to optimize the slot number • Tree based protocol • Use a group splitting mechanism • Disadvantage is the relatively long identification delay • Adaptive binary splitting protocol • Improve to shorten identification time C.C.Lan
Security Mechanism • Authentication • Mutual three-pass authentication • Encryption • A low power encryption hardware using TEA algorithm • SHA-1 algorithm C.C.Lan
On-Chip Antenna • In some applications, where the operation distance is a primary consideration • OCA can be an effective way to cut down the total cost and make the size of tag small C.C.Lan
Issues in Reader • Carrier Leakage Problem • CMOS PA design C.C.Lan
