Abstract :
A low power demodulator, part of a radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder operating in the 900 MHz range, is presented using sub-threshold design. Using this technique and working with 90nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the circuit can operate with a supply voltage as low as 0.3V, consuming only an average of 15nW, making it suitable for ultra-low power applications.
