A new ultra-low power LF passive tag based on adiabatic principle is proposed. To avoid power loss in the procedure of AC to DC power converting, a smart architecture is proposed; meanwhile, a quasi-static adiabatic logic and adiabatic ROM are developed to implement the digital part of the tag accordingly. Sufficient power saving, 60% at least, can be achieved by avoiding power converting and implementing digital part with adiabatic circuits instead of conventional CMOS circuits.
At www.llrp.org, developers and reader vendors can find LLRP libraries in C, C#, Java, Perl and a Wireshark Dissector. These libraries significantly simplify control and configuration of LLRP readers.
After a trademark dispute, the EPC Prototyping Platform is now called "Fosstrak" (previously Accada). Fosstrak stands for "free and open source software for track and trace".
