RFID front-end in 0.5μm standard CMOS process: Experimental results

In this paper the front-end implementation of an RFID integrated circuit (IC) for a frequency of 134.2 KHz is described. The front-end includes a rectifier circuit and over-voltage and ESD protection circuits. Experimental results are presented. The IC was fabricated in the AMI 0.5 mum process through MOSIS.
