In this paper an RFID/NFC (ISO 15693 standard) based inductively powered passive SoC (system on chip) for biomedical applications is presented. A brief overview of the system design, layout techniques and verification method is dis-cussed here. The SoC includes an integrated 32 bit microcontroller, sensor interface circuit, analog to digital converter, integrated RAM, ROM and some other peripherals required for the complete passive operation. The entire chip is realized in CMOS 0.18 μm technology with a chip area of 1.52mm x 3.24 mm.
A new RFID/NFC (ISO 15693 standard) based inductively powered passive SoC (System on chip) for biomedical applications is presented here. The proposed SOC consists of an integrated 32 bit microcontroller, RFID/NFC frontend, sensor interface circuit, analog to digital converter and some peripherals such as timer, SPI interface and memory devices. An energy harvesting unit supplies the power required for the entire system for complete passive operation. The complete chip is realized on CMOS 0.18 μm technology with a chip area of 1.5 mm × 3.0 mm.
In this paper, a complete passive transponder device has been discussed which is meant to monitor leakage in silicone breast implants. The passive tag operates in the HF frequency range of 13.56MHz using RFID ISO 15693 standard. The complete system consists of the transponder, reader and a PC. This paper focusses on the development of such a state of the art passive RFID transponder to monitor the wellness of the silicone breast implants periodically in order to detect leakage in the same.

Remote measurement of the physiology, so-called biotelemetry, is a key technology in the modern veterinary medicine. The usage of wireless implants has less impact on the behavior of animals than manual measurement methods and cause less disturbance than wired devices. But, common biotelemetry still uses proprietary communication and power concepts focused on small systems with one animal. Therefore, the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg is developing a low-cost RFID system called muTrans1, which is able to measure ECG, pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation and activity. The muTrans uses an own RFID sensor transponder and standardized commercial components and combines them to a scalable RFID system able to build-up RFID sensor networks with a nearly unlimited size.
The Institute of Applied Research Offenburg is working in the field of autonomous data loggers since many years. In collaboration with industry, a new RFID based active sensor data logger for continuous recording of temperature has been developed and is now manufactured in mass production. Compared to existing systems, an unusual large data memory is integrated, which can be used via a simplified file system in a flexible way. The system will be used to accompany and monitor temperature sensitive goods of high value. The transponder is the first member of a new class of logging devices, the smallest will be not larger than a 2 Euro-coin with a fully integrated ASIC frontend.
This paper presents an enhancement on QPSK modulation technique for near field communication (NFC). The enhanced modulation is based on continuous-phase QPSK with Gaussian filtering during switch from one phase to the other. Signal processing is done digitally with minimum external discrete components for air interface. The telemetry system can be used to assist a smart capsule (slave) that can be swallowed to establish data communication with external device (master). The system is designed, simulated, and emulated on FPGA showing 20 dB attenuation on side-lobes of the spectrum.
Im ASIC Design Center der Hochschule Offenburg wird ein Design Kit für die UMC 0.18μm Faraday Technologie aufbereitet. Dabei werden alle benötigten Dateien, welche für einen zunächst rein digitalen Chipentwurf unter Verwendung der Synopsys, Cadence und Mentor Tools benötigt werden, für den UMC 0.18μm Prozess zusammengestellt.
Auf dem Markt existiert eine Vielzahl an PDAs. Alle haben einen sehr hohen Funktionsumfang und übertreffen sich von Generation zu Generation und erfordern einen hohen Entwicklungsaufwand von ganzen Entwicklerteams.
Der in dieser Arbeit entwickelte PDA mit seiner Hard- und Software soll kein Konkurrenzprodukt darstellen, sondern aufzeigen, was mit hausinternen Mitteln der Hochschule Offenburg möglich ist und gegebenenfalls eine Benutzeroberfläche für bestehende oder noch kommende Projekte bilden.
Das hier entstandene Gerät ist im Akkumulator-Betrieb autonom und kann als eigenständiges System betrieben werden. Als Herzstück dient das Softcore SIRIUS Mikroprozessorsystem, das als VHDL-Modell in einem FPGA emuliert wird.
Zum Darstellen des grafischen Betriebsystems, welches speziell für dieses PDA entwickelt wurde, wird ein AMOLED-Display verwendet. Dieses besitzt ein Touchpanel, welches zur Steuerung des Systems genutzt wird. Softwareseitig sind Grundfunktionen zur Darstellung von Bildern und Texten entstanden, sowie Beispielanwendungen, die diese benutzen. Das grafische Betriebssystem ist modular und ermöglicht die direkte Weiterentwicklung von Anwendungen für das System.
