Low cost
Low power
Small footprint
Reduced pin count
Mixed‐signal
Passive RFIDs:
– No battery or other external power supply
– The lower the power, the more sensitive
the tag
Semi‐passive RFIDs:
– External battery
– The lower the power, the longer the
battery lifetime

Long test time
18. RFID and smart cards are quickly turning into preferential technologies in Brazil
for the identification and tracking of people, animals and objects.
Brazilian Market
A sample of the potential market:
22. CTC11002 – Chip do Boi
First CEITEC’s RFID product, Chip do Boi is the
base element of cattle earing tags;
From 2014, CTC11002 will be produced in the
CEITEC’s CMOS Fab;
Applications: identification of animals, gas
cylinders, tires, containers and other.
RFID‐LF Product
Radio‐Frequency Identification: Low Frequency solution
23. RFID‐HF Products
CTC12000
Partnership with Hemobras;
Currently undergoing final tests;
Applications: identification and tracking of
perishable goods (blood products), and also of
drugs, books, correspondence, etc.
CTC12100 (with temperature sensor)
Measures and records temperatures and
transmits data through radio‐frequency;
Applications: Can be used in food, medicine
and other perishable products.
Radio‐Frequency Identification: High Frequency solutions
24. CTC 21001 (e‐passport)
Chip to use in the Brazilian passport;
Compliant with the ICAO (International
Civil Aviation Organization) definitions;
Applications: personal identification with
secure information for use in electronic
passports.
RFID‐HF Products
Radio‐Frequency Identification: High Frequency solutions
25. CTC13001 (EPC Gen2)
Multiple applications in logistics, inventory
control and asset management;
CTC 13001 is already available to the market
with prompt delivery;
Applications: identifying and tracking airline
baggage, vehicles, retail products, cargo logistics
and in healthcare (medicines, management of
patients, etc.)
CTC13100 (SINIAV)
Compliant with the national standards of the
SINIAV program and with the international norms
of security and encryption;
Application: identification of the fleet of national
vehicles.
RFID‐UHF Products
Radio‐Frequency Identification: Ultra High Frequency solutions
28. Results
Chips of the CTC 13000 familiy were used in tests with printers and cartridges tags of HP
Brasil, Epson and Samsung. The wafers were tested, grinded and diced in‐house.
CTC 13000 and CTC 13001 chips have recently received the national content certification:
29. Results
From Aug 2012 the CTC 11002 (Chip do Boi) started being used in electronic earings for
animal identification produced by the Fockink Group. The whole chip and electronic tag
have already received the ICAR international certification.
Casa da Moeda and CEITEC signed in 2012 an agreement to develop the new chip for the
brazilian passport. The first pilot of brazilian passports with the CTC 21001 chip will be
released in 2014.
Novus and CEITEC signed this year an agreement to develop the CTC 12100 chip for the
identificiation, temperature monitoring and tracking of perishable goods. The new product
will be delivered mid 2014.
