ULP sensor read-out ASIC with ISO15693 compliant NFC

ULP sensor read-out ASIC with ISO15693 compliant NFC

This ASIC is part of a battery powered wearable device. It has an on-chip ISO15693 compliant NFC to power the device externally and communicate with a standard NFC reader. The sensor readout contains an ultra-low-power front-end. A custom digital sequencer is implemented to optimise device power consumption.
