Note 1: The sensitivity is defined as the minimum
amplitude of the 2kHz- modulation, generated by the
transponder, demodulated and decoded by the reader.
This parameter depends on the application:
• the value of V
DD
• the antenna
• the code sent to the reader
Note 2: The antenna amplitude voltage is:

) is the
equivalent DC supply current driven by the chip through
the antenna.
