Passive tags are widely used for various applications like inventory control or in biotelemetry. In this paper, we present a new RFID\/NFC frontend IC (integrated circuit) for 13.56 MHz passive tag applications. The design of the frontend IC is compatible with the standard ISO 15693\/NFC 5. The paper discusses the analog design part in details with a brief overview of the digital interface and some of the critical measured parameters. A novel approach is adopted for the demodulator design, to demodulate the 10% ASK (amplitude shift keying) signal. The demodulator circuit consists of a comparator designed with a preset offset voltage. The comparator circuit design is discussed in detail. The power consumption of the bandgap reference circuit is used as the load for the envelope detection of the ASK modulated signal. The sub-threshold operation and low-supply-voltage are used extensively in the analog design\u2014to keep the power consumption low. The IC was fabricated using 0.18   \u03bc   m CMOS technology in a die area of 1.5 mm \u00d7 1.5 mm and an effective area of 0.7    m  m 2     . The minimum supply voltage desired is 1.2 V, for which the total power consumption is 107   \u03bc   W. The analog part of the design consumes only 36   \u03bc   W, which is low in comparison to other contemporary passive tags ICs. Eventually, a passive tag is developed using the frontend IC, a microcontroller, a temperature and a pressure sensor. A smart NFC device is used to readout the sensor data from the tag employing an Android-based application software. The measurement results demonstrate the full passive operational capability. The IC is suitable for low-power and low-cost industrial or biomedical battery-less sensor applications. A figure-of-merit (FOM) is proposed in this paper which is taken as a reference for comparison with other related state-of-the-art researches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18051452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,8]],"date-time":"2018-05-08T02:48:08Z","timestamp":1525747688000},"page":"1452","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["An Ultra-Low-Power RFID\/NFC Frontend IC Using 0.18 \u03bcm CMOS Technology for Passive Tag Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3965-5915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mayukh","family":"Bhattacharyya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Applied Research, University of Applied Sciences Offenburg, 77652 Offenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Waldemar","family":"Gruenwald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Applied Research, University of Applied Sciences Offenburg, 77652 Offenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dirk","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Applied Research, University of Applied Sciences Offenburg, 77652 Offenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5068-8929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonhard","family":"Reindl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microsystems Engineering, University of Freiburg, 79098 Freiburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jasmin","family":"Aghassi-Hagmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Applied Research, University of Applied Sciences Offenburg, 77652 Offenburg, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Nanotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Hermann-vom-Helmholtz-Platz 1, 76344 Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Cardullo, M.W.
