A low-cost low-power baseband processor for EPC Gen-2 UHF RFID Tag
- operated in the lowest frequency (see FM0 and Miller Encoder/Decoder)
- clock gating
- operand isolation
- need a memory (in my case, I use a ROM)
- Verilog language
- synthesized by Synopsys Design Compiler
- apr by Synopsys IC Compiler
- improved by TSMC 0.18 um CMOS standard process
| NAME | DESCRIPTION |
| bb_proc | baseband processor, top module |
| cmd_buf | command buffer, serial to parallel |
| cmd_proc | command processor, processes received commands |
| crc16 | CRC-16 encoder/decoder |
| crc5 | CRC-5 encoder/decoder |
| crg | clock/reset generator, timing control |
| fm0_enc | FM0 Encoder, operates in the lowest freq. |
| frmgen | frame generator, generates preamble, backscattered data, end-of-signaling |
| fs_detector | frame-sync detector |
| mem_if | memory interface |
| miller_enc | Miller encoder, operates in the lowest freq. |
| prng | 16-bit Pseudorandom number generator |
| rx | Receive |
| two_dff_sync | Synchronizer, synchronizes signals from clock domain A to B |
| tx | Transmit |
bb_proc_tb : an example of the communication between a Reader and a single Tag
bb_proc_syn : for synthesis
bb_proc_apr : for apr
rom_code : 64x16, 64 words and 16 bits per word
This design is improved by TSMC 0.18 um CMOS standard process. It's not able to manufacture EEPROM, so I use a ROM to be processor's memory. That makes I can't verify Write command. I am not able to provide ROM's verilog file because of confidentiality. It's generated by memory compiler of Artisan Components, Inc. Anyone wanting to use this baseband processor should make your own memory. For simply test, you can write a register file. For tapeout, I suggest you generating a EEPROM.
