Recently, austriamicrosystems announced the launch of the next generation of RFID tags with sensing capabilities, bringing significant breakthroughs in medical and automotive safety and other applications where temperature, physiological data and environmental values ​​are highly demanding. The new devices, the SL13A and SL900A, enable simple, low-cost wireless data logging applications.
The SL13A tag is compliant with the ISO15693 standard and can be used with Near Field Communication (NFC-V) and High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (HFRFID) readers. The SL900A is a third-generation label that complies with the EPCGen2 standard and works with RFID readers.
The device includes an on-chip temperature sensor and an interface to an external sensor for use in passive standby mode (without battery). In this mode, the tag takes energy from the reader's signal and uses that energy to read the temperature or external sensor data and then use a unique ID to return the read data to the reader. The return time of the data is also recorded by the reader.
The SL13A and SL900A can be driven by a single battery or a 3V battery. In battery-assisted passive (BAP) mode, the tag's on-chip real-time timer can be used and periodic sensor readings are performed. The SL13A can record up to 762 events, while the SL900A can record up to 841 events, all of which can be stored in an EEPROM in the chip. These events can be read when the device is within the reader's readable range.
The combination of sensor interface, NFC compatibility, and support for passive standby mode helps design engineers invent new wireless data logging applications or find better ways to implement existing data logging systems. A wide range of applications such as patient monitoring, building management, and car safety can benefit from biomedical measurement data, humidity values, and pressure values ​​read by the SL13A, and the SL13A can be used in NFC readers such as Android smartphones and tablets. The energy gained.
Both the SL13A and SL900A have a serial peripheral interface that can be connected to a microcontroller and operates from 1.2V to 3.6V. The battery life of the tag is very long, and the standard current consumed is only 1.6μA in the standby mode enabled by the real-time clock. The on-chip temperature sensor is very accurate with a measurement error range of up to 0.5%.
Oluf Alminde, Senior Marketing Manager, Microelectronics Power and Wireless Division, Austria, said: "RFID tags are ideal for many applications in the transportation, logistics and retail sectors, enabling simple passive identification of target objects without batteries. SL13A and The SL900A represents the next generation of RFID tags that can be used to read identification data, temperature and many other environmental information."
In addition, the SL13A and SL900A offer medical device OEMs the opportunity to implement new applications, such as NFC sensor tags that can be easily and safely implanted into a patient (or directly swallowed by a patient). Patients only need to bring an NFC-enabled mobile phone or tablet close to the body to read specific physiological values ​​and control their physical condition around the clock.
