Abstract
An RFID tag includes a capacitor between the ASIC ground pin and the circuit ground. The value of the capacitor is selected so that in the case of electrostatic discharge (ESD), the potential drop is primarily across the capacitor rather than the ASIC. Thus, the ASIC is protected against ESD.
