AS39513
NFC Sensor Tag and Data Logger IC
General Description
The AS39513 is a semi-passive tag chip optimized for
battery-powered smart labels with sensor functionality. The
chip is ideal for applications using thin and flexible batteries
but it also supports fully passive operation without a battery
using the RF field from an RFID reader as a power source.
The RFID interface is fully ISO 15693 and NFC-V (T5T) compliant.
External power can be supplied from a single-cell battery
(typically 1.5 V) or a dual-cell battery (typically 3 V).
The chip has a fully integrated temperature sensor with a
programmable temperature range (default -20ºC to 55ºC). The
external sensor interface (S
EXT
) is an analog input and allows
the connection of an external sensor.
A real-time clock can be used to generate logging times and
track the device lifetime. An SPI-like interface is available for
chip initialization or communication with a microcontroller. The
chip has the capability to energy harvesting from reader field
up to 3mA.
Configuration and logging data is stored on a configurable
9-kbit EEPROM.
