, an integrated silicon chip that includes the basic modulation circuitry and a non-volatilememory. The RF carrier signal is transmitted by the reader (forward link) at the hoppingfrequency band of 902-922 MHz. When the RF field reaches the tag it couples with the tag’santenna coil and consequently an AC voltage is generated across the coil. This voltage isrectified to supply power to the tag. As the tag is activated it starts to transmit back the codedinformation stored in its memory (reverse link) to the reader, using backscattered modulationtechnique, where it is decoded and retrieved [8][9].

Specifically, the VDIP1 module has24 pin outputs consisting of 13 regular I/O pins (AD and AC) and 11 function pins. The moduleprovides on-board jumper pin that takes the AC5 and AC6 as inputs selecting differentcommunication modes. There are three modes that can be selected for the communicationbetween the module and external USB devices. The serial UART mode is selected if both theinput pins AC5 and AC6 are either high or low. The SPI mode is selected if the input AC5 is setto be low and AC6 is set to be high. The parallel FIFO mode is activated if

Changes in thiscourse are in work and they are coordinated by another instructor in the EET department. In thetheory course, more time was spent on sequential circuits and timing diagrams and less time onreviewing combinational circuits and the specific characteristics of combinational and sequentialcircuits from the 74HC xx and 74SNxx series.In the second part of the course, the electrical DC and AC characteristics of CMOS family werecovered, emphasizing concepts such as low power dissipation, noise margin, rise time, falltime, ground bounce, reading
