Abstract

Embodiments of a radio frequency identification tag are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a processor;

a flash memory to couple to the processor;

a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag; and

a wired interface to couple the RFID tag to at least the processor, the RFID tag including;

an antenna to send and receive data across a wireless interface;

an interface device to couple to the wired interface; and

a non-volatile memory device to store data, the non-volatile memory device including at least a first port associated with the antenna and a second port associated with the interface device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the interface device includes a communication link to communicate data to and from the non-volatile memory device.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the interface device includes a power link to provide power to the RFID tag.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the non-volatile memory device to store the data received from the interface device when the RFID tag is in a passive mode.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor to read the data from the non-volatile memory device and across the interface device when the RFID tag is in a passive mode.
