Provided is a bio-sensor system which utilizes radio frequency
identification technology and which includes a remote transponder in
wireless communication with an implantable passively-powered on-chip
transponder. The bio-sensor system is specifically adapted to provide a
substantially stable and precise sensor reference voltage to a sensor
assembly that is included with the on-chip transponder. The remote
transponder is also configured to remotely receive data representative of
a physiological parameter of the patient as well as identification data
and may enable readout of one or more of the physiological parameters
that are measured, processed and transmitted by the on-chip transponder
upon request by the remote transponder. The precision and stability of
the sensor reference voltage is enhanced by the specific circuit
architecture of the glucose sensor to allow for relatively accurate
measurement of the physiological parameter such as measurement of glucose
concentration by a glucose sensor without the use of a microprocessor.
