A Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) transponder is provided. The RFID
transponder may include a basic ID flag circuit having a VDD voltage
node, an output voltage node, and a capacitor coupled to the VDD voltage
node and the output voltage node to store an ID flag. A supplemental
discharge current circuit coupled to the basic ID flag circuit is
provided in order to control persistence duration of the state of the ID
flag. The persistence duration of the state of the ID flag is controlled
by maintaining supplemental discharge current, which is greater than the
leakage current of the basic ID flag circuit.
