    Abstract: A circuit for compensating for the effects of light exposure is provided. The circuit includes a first circuit and a light compensation circuit. The first circuit has an output terminal for providing a first current, wherein at least a portion of the first current is a function of a first light sensitive circuit component. The compensation circuit has a current mirror and a second light sensitive circuit component. The current mirror has an input terminal coupled to receive a second current that is mirrored from the first current, and an output terminal coupled to provide a third current responsive to the second current. The second light sensitive circuit component is configured to be similar to the first light sensitive circuit component and to compensate for a light induced current provided by the first light sensitive circuit component so that the third current is provided without a light induced current component.

    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) voltage limiter for a radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder is provided. The RF voltage limiter includes an envelope detector configured to track an envelope of a signal received at the antenna. The envelope detector has an output for providing an envelope signal. A peak detector is included and has an input coupled to the output of the envelope detector. The peak detector includes a current mirror having an input coupled to the output of the envelope detector, and an output configured to provide a control signal. A shunt circuit is coupled to provide an impedance to the antenna in response to the control signal. The impedance decreases with an increasing voltage of the control signal to limit a maximum voltage at the antenna. In another embodiment, a method is provided for limiting a RF voltage at the antenna.
