Lead application RFID sensor technology
We also use our research results for the development of RFID sensor transponder ICs and ASICs, which can be used to achieve battery-free digital sensors. Such sensors can then be supplied with energy and read out via the NFC functionality of smartphones, for example. Typical applications are digital rapid tests or maintenance-free sensors in industrial environments. Our ICs differ from other solutions through effective power management functionalities and integrated sensor interfaces.
