Low Power Consumption

In the RFID platform, dramatically lowered power consumption is a powerful attribute that can be used to tradeoff one product feature against another depending on what the end-customer is seeking. Most evidently, lowered power could result in longer battery life for any given battery size. However, where a smaller battery is required for improved form factor or lowered BOM and packaging costs, lowered power consumption in Evigia’s approach can be used as a powerful enabler. Alternately, improved power consumption can be used simply to log data points more frequently, or sense more types of environmental parameters that could not be achieved otherwise in a given package form factor.

On the other hand, lowered power consumption in the logic, memory, and sensor portions can be redirected to boosting available power available to the wireless transmission portion of the RFID device. In this manner, increased wireless connection robustness in a crowded tag environment or improved transmission reliability can be achieved for a given battery size and form factor.

While the variations in design tradeoffs can be numerous, the basic low power advantage that Evigia’s highly integrated approach offers cannot be denied.
