Abstract :
A CMOS passive RFID transponder with a temperature sensor and a read only memory for monitoring the body temperature of a patient is suggested. A frequency-to-digital conversion is used to digitize the body temperature of the patient. A series of Schottky diodes in the voltage regulator is used for a temperature sensor. The test chips has a small area of 0.23mm2 and are being fabricated in a 0.5mum 2 poly 3 metal CMOS process
