Home › Forums › Ask the Flomies › NFC Data Logging RFID Chip Ready for Tag Developers
DELTA Microelectronics has introduced THOR, an RFID NFC data logger chip for tag and RFID system developers that address the need to add more intelligence to RFID tags than just barcode information. The chip has an on-chip temperature sensor that can sample and log at any configurable rate and store up to 8K samples. Measurements can originate from from the SPI master interface interface as well. Secure crypto transactions are also possible.
With a credit card size antenna, operation up to 10 cm from reader is possible. When no measurement is performed standby current consumption is below 1 μA.
APPLICATIONS
Temperature logging for temperature sensitive objects/parcels or RF interface to various SPI controlled sensors (e.g. pressure, tilt, voltage, light etc.). This means that tag developers interested in tapping the medical, food, and industrial markets are now a real possibility.
