Desarrollo de un circuito integrado para lectura RFID en aplicaciones agroindustriales.

The objective of this project is to develop an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) in CMOS-HV technology with a low-frequency RFID read engine based on the ISO 11784/5 standard. This standard is typically applied to implantable tags for animal identification. The goal of the project is to design a wireless integrated circuit used to quickly and safely identify and locate bovine individuals in large cattle populations for users and animals alike. This chip would be the first implementation of the full protocol (including the HDX and FDX options provided by the standard), which is required to develop certified readers. As such, incorporating the reader inside and integrated circuit would allow compact RFID readers with multi-channel and synchronization features.

A methodology of engineering design incorporating multiple innovative techniques on low-noise circuits and synchronous detection for optimal signal processing. Also, the developed chip will include drivers, tuning circuits, preamplifiers, filters, etc. It is expected to produce a physical layout for the RFID reader circuit that matches or exceeds the speed and distance of other readers on the market

This project is supported by the company BQN Uruguay, which has over 10 years of experience in the manufacturing of RFID readers for animal traceability, and the MicroDIE group at the Catholic University of Uruguay
