Abstract:
ContactLess Simulator (CLS) was used to simulate a smart tag composed of a Near Field Communication (NFC) circuit, a microcontroller unit and a temperature sensor. More precisely, our study focuses on battery-less electronic systems: sensor and microcontroller are supplied by the NFC circuit. To prove such a system can function, energy budget has to be explored; this is the aim of this simulator. This paper describes the battery-less electronic system we considered, and simulation results prove that each NFC reading of the tag will recharge it for 44 cycles of autonomous functioning (temperature sensing, data logging).
