20110022524 | PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH PASSIVE RFID TRANSPONDER - A process is provided for testing or operating an integrated circuit that includes providing a passive radio frequency identification transponder in electrical communication with the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is associated with a printed circuit board or analog circuitry. The passive radio frequency identification transponder is shielded from the integrated circuit with a ferrite material ground in power planes as well as radiated emissions from the printed circuit board when the printed circuit board is energized. Information about the function of the integrated circuit is communicated to a remote location with an antenna coupled to the transponder in response to an external signal that provokes the communication so as to test or operate the integrated circuit. An assembly is provided that includes a printed circuit board or analog circuitry inclusive of a central processing unit that defines a ground plane and a power plane, and provides irradiated emissions upon the central processing unit being energized. A passive radio frequency identification is also present. An antenna circuit is in electrical communication with the passive radio frequency identification transponder and includes a coil antenna or a patch antenna. A ferrite loaded material is positioned intermediate between the radio frequency identification transponder and the printed circuit board or analog circuitry to shield the radio frequency identification transponder from the ground plane, the power plane, and radiated emissions when produced by the printed circuit board or the analog circuitry being energized. | 01-27-2011 |
