Abstract
There is provided an RF-powered, RFID transponder operable in either a high frequency or low frequency band. The transponder utilizes an EEPROM which may be programmed. The high voltage required for writing (i.e., programming) the EEPROM is provided by a unique circuit which eliminates the need for voltage multiplying circuits which typically use large, high value capacitors which usually occupy large amounts of chip real estate. It is estimated that the write voltage circuit reduces chip real estate requirements by approximately 13%.
