Reduced pin count
Mixed‐signal
Passive RFIDs:
– No battery or other external power supply
– The lower the power, the more sensitive the tag
Semi‐passive RFIDs:
– External battery
– The lower the power, the longer the battery lifetime

Agenda1. Introduction
2. RFID IC Design Challenges
3. RFID Brazilian Market
4. CEITEC and its RFID Products
5. Final Considerations
RFID and smart cards are quickly turning into preferential technologies in Brazilfor the identification and tracking of people, animals and objects.
Brazilian Market
A sample of the potential market:
Several brazilian government programs can benefit from electronic identification technologies:
RIC – citizen ID SINIAV – vehicle ID and tracking SISBOV – cattle tracking etc.
Important tax breaks are offered to companies adhering the PPB (basic productive process) through products with proven national added value
Brazilian Market
Opportunities

Results
Chips of the CTC 13000 familiywere used in tests with printers and cartridges tags of HP Brasil, Epson and Samsung. The wafers were tested, grinded and diced in‐house.
CTC 13000 and CTC 13001 chips have recently received the national content certification:
Results
From Aug 2012 the CTC 11002 (Chip do Boi) started being used in electronic earings for animal identification produced by the Fockink Group. The whole chip and electronic taghave already received the ICAR international certification.
Casa da Moeda and CEITEC signed in 2012 an agreement to develop the new chip for thebrazilian passport. The first pilot of brazilian passports with the CTC 21001 chip will bereleased in 2014.
Novus and CEITEC signed this year an agreement to develop the CTC 12100 chip for theidentificiation, temperature monitoring and tracking of perishable goods. The new productwill be delivered mid 2014.
