[0063] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0064] The high-efficiency and low-power passive RFID tag chip of the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes three parts: a high-efficiency and ultra-low modulation index RF analog circuit, a low-power digital circuit, and a low-power EEPROM memory. The chip structure is shown in Figure 1.

[0065] As shown in Figure 2, the RF analog circuit portion of the high-efficiency, low-power passive RFID tag chip according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes: a bridge rectifier circuit, a three-stage limiter circuit, a resistive load modulation circuit, a linear voltage regulator (LDO, Low Dropout Regulator) circuit, a clock extraction circuit, and an amplitude shift keying (ASK, Amplitude Shift Keying) demodulation circuit.

[0066] The low-power digital circuit part of the high-frequency passive radio frequency identification tag chip of the present invention mainly includes: a pulse position modulation (PPM) decoder, a Manchester encoder and an anti-collision circuit.

[0067] The low-power EEPROM memory part of the high-frequency passive radio frequency identification tag chip of the present invention mainly comprises: an EEPROM erasing circuit, an EEPROM reading circuit and a charge pump.

[0068] Bridge Rectifier Circuit: In this embodiment, the bridge rectifier circuit converts the RFID tag antenna's input signals, ant1 and ant2, into VHD DC signals, which are then supplied to the RF analog circuit, digital circuit, and EEPROM memory. Specifically, because the signals ant1 and ant2 coupled from the RFID tag antenna are sinusoidal waves, representing alternating voltages, they cannot directly power the analog and digital circuits. Therefore, additional circuitry is required to convert the AC signals into DC signals. Therefore, a bridge rectifier circuit is used for this signal conversion.

[0069] As shown in FIG3 , the bridge rectifier circuit of this embodiment includes NMOS transistors MN1, MN2, MN3, and MN4 and a storage capacitor CVHD. The drain and gate of MN1, the gate of MN4, and the drain of MN3 are connected to the input signal ant1, and the drain and gate of MN2, the gate of MN3, and the drain of MN4 are connected to the input signal ant2. The sources of MN1 and MN2 form a VHD output, and the sources of MN3 and MN4 are connected to signal ground. The input signals ant1 and ant2 are obtained from the RFID tag antenna.

[0070] In particular, since the input signals ant1 and ant2 are not necessarily continuous signals, in the gaps where the signals are interrupted (i.e. when a groove appears), the energy storage capacitor C VHD The power supply work at the gap is completed, and at the same time the energy storage capacitor CVHD can also stabilize the VHD DC signal.

[0071] When the input signal ant1 inputs a high level signal and the input signal ant2 inputs a low level signal, MN1 and MN4 are turned on, connecting the C between the VHD output and the signal ground. VHD Charge and form VHD DC signal output;

[0072] When the input signal ant1 inputs a low level signal and the input signal ant2 inputs a high level signal, MN2 and MN3 are turned on, connecting the C between the VHD output and the signal ground. VHD Charge and form VHD DC signal output.

[0073] Since the carrier of the input signal always exists during the operation of the bridge rectifier circuit, a relatively stable VHD voltage can be formed, and the energy storage capacitor C VHD During the charging and discharging process, VHD is always DC, thus achieving the purpose of converting AC signals into DC signals.

[0074] Since the voltage value of the rectified VHD DC signal may still exceed the critical value of the MOS breakdown voltage, a limiting circuit must be further provided to protect the circuit at high field strengths.

[0075] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the three-stage limiter circuit in this embodiment includes a first limiter circuit level 1, a second limiter circuit level 2, and a third limiter circuit level 3. The inputs of the first limiter circuit level 1 and the second limiter circuit level 2 are isolated by a resistor RBC, while the inputs of the second limiter circuit level 2 and the third limiter circuit level 3 are isolated by a resistor RAB. Each limiter circuit includes a turn-on resistor, a limiter PMOS transistor (MPc, MPb, MPa), a leakage branch, a high-pass filter, and a leakage tube. The high-pass filter is composed of series-connected resistors and capacitors R1 and C1, R2 and C2, and R3 and C3, and is used to filter ripple noise on the VHD. The leakage tube is composed of two discharge NMOS transistors MN1c and MN2c, MN1b and MN2b, and MN1a and MN2a. The drains of the two discharge NMOS transistors are respectively input with signals ant1 and ant2, their sources are connected to signal ground, and their gates are connected to the output of the leakage branch.

[0076] The first leakage branch in the first limiter circuit level 1 includes five PMOS transistors MP1c, MP2c, MP3c, MP4c, and MP5c with gates connected to drains. The drain output of the previous PMOS transistor is connected to the source input of the next PMOS transistor, and the drain of the last PMOS transistor MP5c outputs the first turn-on voltage V T1 ;

[0077] The second leakage branch in the second limiting circuit level 2 includes four PMOS transistors MP1b, MP2b, MP3b, and MP4b with gates connected to drains. The drain output of the preceding PMOS transistor is connected to the source input of the succeeding PMOS transistor. The drain of the last PMOS transistor MP4b outputs the second turn-on voltage V T2 ;

[0078] The third leakage branch in the third limiting circuit level 3 includes three PMOS transistors MP1a, MP2a, and MP3a with gates connected to drains. The drain output of the preceding PMOS transistor is connected to the source input of the succeeding PMOS transistor. The drain of the last PMOS transistor MP3a outputs a third turn-on voltage V T3 .

[0079] Specifically, the RF analog circuit of this embodiment obtains a total current I after mutual inductance coupling and rectification. I is divided into two branches. One current flows through the LDO to provide the required current to the subsequent load modulation circuit, and the remaining current is released through the three-stage limiting circuit. Since the total current of the RF analog circuit I = I LDO +I a +I b +I c , if the required load current I LDO decreases, then the remaining current can flow through Ia , I b and I c Bleeder, if the required load current I LDO Increase, then the required load current can be achieved by reducing the leakage current value. a , I b and I c When the load current I is almost 0 LDO Reached maximum value.

[0080] The field strength of the RF analog circuit is calculated using the following formula:

[0081] Where x is the vertical distance between the antenna and the antenna interface, a and b are the side lengths of the antenna, N is the number of antenna coils, and I is the current flowing through the antenna.

[0082] The current discharge of the three-stage limiting circuit of this embodiment is performed through the following steps:

[0083] When the field strength H of the RF analog circuit exceeds the threshold voltage V of the limiting PMOS tube in the third limiting circuit level 3, Aon When the amplitude limiting PMOS tube MPa is turned on, the current formed passes through the resistor R2a to generate the third turn-on voltage V T3 ; When the third turn-on voltage V T3 When the voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of the discharge NMOS tube in the leakage tube of the third limiter circuit, the leakage tube of the third limiter circuit level 3 starts to discharge the excess current I a Release.

[0084] When the third limiter circuit level 3 starts to discharge current, due to the resistance R AB The voltage of the second limiting circuit level 2 gradually increases. When the field strength H of the RF analog circuit exceeds the threshold voltage V of the limiting PMOS tube in the second limiting circuit Bon When the limiter PMOS tube MPB is turned on, the current generated by the resistor R2b generates the second turn-on voltage V T2 ; When the second turn-on voltage V T2 When the voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of the discharge NMOS tube in the leakage tube of the second amplitude limiting circuit, the leakage tube of the second amplitude limiting circuit level 2 starts to discharge the excess current I b Release;

[0085] When the second limiter circuit level 2 starts to discharge current, due to the resistance R BC The voltage of the first limiter circuit level 1 gradually increases. When the field strength H of the RF analog circuit exceeds the threshold voltage V of the limiter PMOS tube in the first limiter circuit, ConWhen the amplitude limiting PMOS tube MPc is turned on, the generated current passes through the resistor R2c to generate the first turn-on voltage V T1 ; When the first turn-on voltage V T1 When the voltage exceeds the threshold voltage of the discharge NMOS tube in the leakage tube of the first amplitude limiting circuit, the leakage tube of the first amplitude limiting circuit level 1 starts to discharge the excess current I c Release.

[0086] This embodiment uses a three-level limiting circuit to achieve current and voltage regulation at different field intensities. For example, at low field strength (such as 1.5A / m), all leakage tubes are in a closed state, and all current is supplied to the subsequent circuit. At medium field strength (such as 3A / m), the third limiting circuit level 3 is turned on, and part of the unused current is passed through I a For high field strength (such as 7.5A / m), all limiting circuits are turned on to discharge a larger current to protect the transistor from being broken down due to too high operating voltage.

[0087] As shown in FIG6 , the resistive load modulation circuit of this embodiment includes a modulation control circuit and a level conversion circuit. The modulation control circuit receives a Manchester-coded signal. The output of the modulation control circuit is connected to the input of the level conversion circuit, and the output of the level conversion circuit is connected to the antenna resonant circuit.

[0088] The modulation control circuit, consisting of two inverters formed by PMOS transistors MP11 and MP12 and NMOS transistors MN11 and MN12, is used to provide a binary-coded control signal to the level conversion circuit. The level conversion circuit generates a high-level or low-level signal based on the control signal and adds the modulation signal dem_in to the input signals ant1 and ant2. Specifically, when the digital circuit outputs dout at a low level, MN13 and MP14 are both turned on, causing node A to be at a high level, MN15 and MN16 to conduct, and current will flow from the RFID antenna to R4 and R5. A modulation signal of several millivolts will be applied to the carrier. When the load modulation circuit is turned on, MP16 is short-circuited by MP15 and MN13, and the on-state voltage of node B will increase by 1V. TH , the amplitude of load modulation deepens.

[0089] As shown in FIG7 , the linear voltage stabilization circuit of this embodiment includes a startup circuit, a reference current source, a mirror circuit, and a regulation circuit;

[0090] The startup circuit includes resistor R21, PMOS transistor MP21 and NMOS transistors MN21 and MN22. The startup circuit is used to provide an initial voltage to the reference current source. Resistor R21 is used to prevent excessive current from occurring during the instantaneous conduction of the startup circuit. The net1 node voltage V net1At the beginning, it is 0, at this time the PMOS tube MP21 is turned on, as the chip is slowly powered on, V net1 When the threshold voltage of MN22 is reached, the PMOS tube MN22 and MP21 form an inverter, which instantly reduces the net2 voltage V net2 Pull to high level and turn on PMOS tube MN21, the voltage V on net3 net3 It immediately drops to 0, giving the reference circuit an initial value. At this moment, the PMOS tubes MP22 and MP23 are turned on and enter the cut-off state, the reference source starts to work, and V net1 Pull high, after inversion V net2 Pull low to turn off the PMOS tube MN21.

[0091] The reference current source includes a diode B21 , a resistor R22 , NMOS transistors MN23 , MN24 , and PMOS transistors MP22 , MP23 ; the reference current source is used to generate a reference current I1 according to an initial voltage.

[0092] The mirror circuit includes PMOS transistors MP24 and MP25 and NMOS transistors MN25, MN26, and MN27. The mirror circuit is used to generate a mirror current I4 based on a reference current I1. The width-to-length ratios of the PMOS transistors MP24 and MP25 and the NMOS transistors MN25 and MN27 are all W / L, while the width-to-length ratio of the NMOS transistor MN26 is 3W / L. Since I5 = 3I2 and I1 = 2I2, we know that I4 = I5 - I2 = 2I2 = I1.

[0093] The regulation circuit includes PMOS transistors MP26 and MP27, which provide feedback regulation of the output VDD regulated voltage signal. Specifically, MP26 is a PMOS regulator. Once VDD changes, it dynamically adjusts via the feedback circuit to stabilize VDD within a set range. For example, when VDD rises, current I4 flowing through MP27 increases. Since I5 = 3I2 and is constant, the increase in I4 means a decrease in I2 and I3, which in turn reduces the VDS of the PMOS transistor MP25. VDS equals the VGS of MP26, which means that VGS also decreases, and thus VDD drops, achieving the regulation goal.

[0094] As shown in FIG8 , the ASK demodulation circuit of this embodiment includes an envelope extraction circuit, a pre-amplifier circuit, a post-amplifier circuit, and a decision circuit.

[0095] The envelope extraction circuit includes a resistor divider (R31, R32), a first low-pass filter (R32, C31) and a second low-pass filter (R33, C32); the resistor divider is used to divide the input signals ant1 and ant2 so that the voltage of the input signal matches the operating voltage of the first low-pass filter and the second low-pass filter; the first low-pass filter (R32, C31) is used to extract a first envelope signal V from the input signals ant1 and ant2 fast The second low-pass filter (R33, C32) is used to extract the second envelope signal V from the input signals ant1 and ant2. slow Specifically, since the input voltage of the RFID antenna is about 6V, which is higher than the normal operating voltage (1.8V) of the rest of the ASK demodulation circuit, the resistor divider (R31, R32) is applied to one of the envelope signals V fast The second low-pass filter (R33, C32) obtains the average voltage of the envelope signal, and its time constant is greater than that of the first low-pass filter. At this time, the overshoot disappears, and another envelope signal V slow .

[0096] The function of the pre-amplifier circuit is to amplify V fast and V slow The voltage signal is converted into a current signal I through the current mirror (MP31, MP32, MP33, MP34). fast and I slow The transconductances gm32 and gm33 of MN32 and MN33 determine the amplification factor of the pre-amplifier circuit.

[0097] In order to further suppress the influence of noise and enable the demodulator to correctly identify the useful ASK modulated signal, the pre-amplifier circuit should have an internal positive feedback hysteresis structure. Here, four NMOS transistors (MN35, MP36, MP37, MN38) are used to connect to the ground. slow and I fast is amplified and converted into a voltage V r1 and V s1 .

[0098] Since the two differential signals obtained by the pre-amplifier circuit do not meet the full-swing requirement, their voltage values ​​may still be at the sub-threshold. In addition, when the data rate is high, the sub-ideal differential signal may still cause an erroneous flip. Therefore, this embodiment sets a differential input post-amplifier circuit to convert the two voltage signals V r1 and V s1 Amplify to a level close to the full swing. The decision circuit is based on the third amplified signal V r and the fourth amplified signal V sGenerate ASK encoded signals to input into digital circuits to achieve analog signal to digital signal conversion.

[0099] As shown in Figure 9, the pulse position modulation decoder includes a synchronization circuit, an SOF / EOF detection circuit, a 9-bit counter, a decoding circuit, a shift register and an FSM circuit; the synchronization circuit is used to synchronize the ASK encoded signal and the clock signal; the SOF / EOF detection circuit is used to detect the start frame and end frame of the ASK encoded signal; the 9-bit counter is used to generate a logic signal according to the ASK encoded signal; the decoding circuit and the shift register are used to decode and output the logic signal; the FSM circuit is used to control the operating status of the pulse position modulation decoder and the Manchester encoder.

[0100] In this embodiment, the PPM decoder detects the 1 / 256 or 1 / 4 coded signal generated by the ASK demodulator. Its modulation index supports 100% and 10%, thereby achieving data rates of 1.65 Kbit / s and 26.48 Kbit / s. Specifically, clk_decoder is a 4x clock with a clock gating unit, por is the power-on reset signal, rx_en is the decoder enable signal, and din_100 and din_10 are the output signals of the ASK demodulation circuit. rx_data is the received 8-bit data, and din_100_en and din_10_en are the enable signals of the ASK demodulation circuit.

[0101] The pulse position modulation decoder performs decoding in the following steps:

[0102] Synchronize the ASK coding signal and clock signal;

[0103] Compare the ASK coded signal and the clock signal to determine the relative time of the ASK coded signal pulse position;

[0104] Determine the start frame and end frame of the ASK encoded signal;

[0105] The ASK encoded signal is input into a 9-bit counter. The 9-bit counter compares the count value of the ASK encoded signal with a preset threshold at the end of a clock cycle of the clock signal. When the count value is less than the preset threshold, a logic signal 0 is generated; when the count value is greater than the preset threshold, a logic signal 1 is generated.

[0106] The logic signal is decoded and output through the decoding circuit and shift register.

[0107] In this embodiment, the PPM decoder converts the input signal into digital data and outputs it to subsequent circuits for processing. This PPM decoder achieves high-precision, high-speed decoding, and has advantages such as low power consumption and a small footprint. It has broad application prospects in applications such as RFID tag chips.

[0108] Specifically, in the PPM decoder of this embodiment, the clock signal is continuous for 10% ASK signals, but discontinuous for 100% ASK signals. This causes the output demodulated signals din_100 or din_10 to be asynchronous, and the clock may contain glitches at the edges of each pause signal. Therefore, the synchronization circuit shown in Figure 10 must be used to process the output signals.

[0109] This embodiment's synchronization circuit uses four registers to synchronize one of the demodulated signals (din_100 or din_10). The first register's data input is connected to a logic 1, and either din_100 or din_10 is connected to the register's reset port. The first two registers eliminate metastability, while the second two registers generate a positive pulse synchronization signal. Finally, a multiplexer selects one of the demodulated signals as the output signal, din.

[0110] In particular, due to the special properties of the 1 / 256 or 1 / 4 coded signal generated by the PPM decoder from the ASK demodulation circuit in this embodiment, precise synchronization and decoding are required. Therefore, a finite state machine (FSM) is used to precisely control each state during the decoding process, thereby ensuring decoding accuracy and reliability. The FSM also improves system efficiency and response speed, making the entire RFID system more stable and reliable.

[0111] Specifically, the FSM circuit in the PPM decoder has seven states: IDLE, SOF, DATA256, SOF_END, DATA4, EOF, and ERROR. When in the IDLE state, the PPM decoder waits for the ASK signal. Once a pause signal occurs, the PPM decoder switches to the SOF state. Using a 9-bit counter and different SOF sequences, the FSM circuit can identify one of the data encoding modes. It then switches to the DATA256 or DATA4 state. In one of the 256 encoding modes, the value of a single byte can be represented by the position of a pause. This results in a data rate of 1.66 Kbit / s (13.56 MHz / 8192). In this case, the value can be determined using a 9-bit counter that records the data position. For the 1-out-4 encoding mode, a pause position determines two bits at a time, so a byte can consist of four pairs of two consecutive bits. This results in a data rate of 26.48 Kbit / s (13.56 MHz / 512). These techniques ensure precise control of each state during the decoding process, improving system efficiency and response speed.

[0112] The Manchester encoder in this embodiment converts the binary data signal output by the PPM decoder into a Manchester-encoded signal. Figure 11 shows the structure of the Manchester encoder controlled by the FSM circuit in this embodiment. SOF stands for the start-of-frame signal and consists of four components: SOF1, SOF2, SOF3, and SOF4. The first two waveforms are generated by circuit 1, and the last two waveforms are generated by circuit 2. Both circuits consist of multiple multiplexers, and the multiplexer inputs represent the pulse number configuration. sub_carrier is used to select one or two subcarriers. When using two subcarriers, the encoder should transmit 27 f / 28 pulses; otherwise, it transmits 24 clock cycles (clk32) of unmodulated time. To generate f / 28 or f / 32 pulses, two timers are used. Since the encoder input clock is divided by 2, a divide-by-16 timer is used to generate f / 32, and a divide-by-14 timer is used to generate f / 28. The FSM selects one of the timer outputs to generate the Manchester-encoded signal "dout," which is connected to the input of the load modulation circuit. Because the data to be sent is a series of bytes, a shift register is needed to generate the data bit by bit.

[0113] Specifically, the Manchester encoder divides each data bit into two time intervals and uses a different level in each interval to represent the bit value. If the data bit is 0, a high level is used in the first interval and a low level in the second interval; if the data bit is 1, a low level is used in the first interval and a high level in the second interval. Therefore, this embodiment uses the Manchester encoder to encode the response signal, supporting the use of one or two subcarriers. As shown in Figure 12, when using one subcarrier, the subcarrier frequency should be f / 32 (f is the carrier frequency, 13.56MHz). When using two subcarriers, the subcarrier frequency should be a combination of f / 32 and f / 28. Taking the start of frame (SOF) as an example, the SOF of a subcarrier consists of an unmodulated time of 24 clock cycles (clk32), 24 f / 32 pulses, and a logic 1 (clk32) that begins with an unmodulated time of 8 clock cycles, followed by 8 f / 32 pulses. The SOF of two subcarriers consists of 27 f / 28 pulses, 24 f / 32 pulses and logic 1. Logic 1 starts with 9 f / 28 pulses and then 8 f / 32 pulses.

[0114] Since multiple RFID tags may respond to the chip simultaneously during RFID communication, causing collisions between tags, this embodiment combines analog and digital circuits to detect the exact location of the collision, so that the anti-collision circuit can select one of the tags for communication. The anti-collision circuit is implemented by one of the following methods:

[0115] The time slots are divided into several time slots. Each RFID tag sends its own ID information in different time slots. The anti-collision circuit determines whether a collision occurs based on the read ID information.

[0116] The RFID tag's ID information is converted into a binary number and reversed from high to low according to the number of bits. The anti-collision circuit determines whether a collision occurs based on the read ID information;

[0117] The ID information of the RFID tag is stored in a query tree and queried according to preset rules. The anti-collision circuit determines whether a collision occurs based on the query results.

[0118] A hash function is used to map the ID information of the RFID tag to a unique hash value, and identification and differentiation are performed based on the hash value. The anti-collision circuit determines whether a collision occurs based on the received hash value.

[0119] For example, anti-collision detection is performed using a time-slot method. As shown in Figure 13, if tag 1 transmits a series of binary numbers "1100..." and tag 2 transmits "1111...", a logic 1 begins with an unmodulated time, followed by eight subcarrier pulses (negative transitions), while a logic 0 begins with eight subcarrier pulses, followed by an unmodulated time (positive transitions). The reader's combined signal will then have no transitions at the collision location. Therefore, the reader can easily detect this collision and select a tag to communicate with. In the ISO / IEC 15693 protocol, the tag's task is to compare the mask value received from the reader and, based on the comparison result, decide whether to send back its own UID stored in EEPROM memory. The anti-collision command (also known as the inventory command) is used to read the RFID tag's unique identifier (UID). By changing flags in the anti-collision command, the tag can determine the total number of time slots (1 or 16) and add parameters such as the mask length and mask value. Once a tag receives an inventory request, it resets the slot number register to zero and increments the slot number by 1 upon receiving the EOF signal from the reader. In each slot, the tag compares its own UID with the slot number plus the mask value. If the two values ​​are equal, the tag returns its unique ID; otherwise, it remains silent. As you can see, using anti-collision circuitry in an RFID system makes it easy to detect collisions and select a tag for communication.

[0120] As shown in Figure 14, the EEPROM memory of this embodiment includes a memory cell array, an erase / write circuit, a read circuit, and a charge pump. The erase / write circuit is used to control the erase / write operation of the memory cell array; the read circuit is used to control the read operation of the memory cell array; and the charge pump is used to generate an erase signal to erase the memory cell array.

[0121] Specifically, the EEPROM memory in this embodiment utilizes an 8-bit parallel input circuit structure. By providing an internal buffer circuit, the memory cell can achieve high-speed erasing and writing of any number of bytes within a page. A charge pump based on forward and reverse clock control is designed, optimizing the clock supply circuit to reduce charge pump power consumption. The memory circuit layout and routing are optimized, and a symmetrical design is added to address erasing and writing reliability issues caused by process variations. The EEPROM memory in this embodiment also features a serial output circuit structure, avoiding the use of a power-hungry reference source. Instead, a single sense amplifier is used to output serial data, effectively reducing read circuit power consumption. The EEPROM memory in this embodiment is designed to operate at low voltages, with all circuits capable of operating at voltages as low as 1.2V, effectively controlling read power consumption to less than 1μA. Simulation results demonstrate that the EEPROM memory in this embodiment operates stably across a supply voltage range of 1-1.8V, utilizing a read / write circuit design with parallel input and serial output and a single sense amplifier. Test data indicates that the read power consumption is only 0.68μA, while maintaining an access time of 1.7μs.
