rectified into
DC voltage
Interprets signal into
bits + converts bit

Transistor that changes
antenna impedance for
‘backscatter’
• External Voltage
Supervisor tells MCU
when to wake up
• MCU processes bits
and performs Gen 2
protocol
• Polls sensors to
gather data

SMCLK
Used by Peripheral Modules
Consumed by RFID
• RAM – variables. Small chunk used
• Port 1 Interrupt used for Communication.
• Port 2 Interrupt used for Voltage Supervisor – can be shared
• Port 3 for debugging (no interrupt capability)
• 2 Timer counter interrupts (one used for communication)
• Used 4 pins total out of 24 GPIO
Microcontroller
Operating Modes
Interrupts
Types
• Non-Maskable: NMI pin, Oscillator fault, flash access violation
• Maskable: Peripherals and WDT in Interval Mode
> 1 peripheral interrupt pending simultaneously
In 2132:
• Comparator
• Brownout Protection
