Grenoble, France - October 23, 2017 - The challenge of improving the  RFID reader detection range and thus the identification rate induce that the chips must be able to operate at  extremely low voltage, as the energy caught by the antenna is lowered. This challenge leads to consider every mean to reduce the  RFID chips power consumption.

One of the main way to do so is to optimize the digital part of the design.

The new generation of SESAME eLC  standard-cell library at 180 nm is designed to safely operate near threshold voltage, down to 0.68 V +/- 10%, to provide up to  90% of power savings at 1.3 MHz compared to the sponsored library.

Such a comparison must be based on the Motu-Uta benchmark to provide an objective metric to quickly assess the expected improvement.

Motu-Uta is downloadable on Dolphin Integration website with no need for NDA.
