A limiter for controlling an overvoltage and an RFID tag having the same
are provided. The limiter includes a first limiter part and a second
limiter part serially connected to the first limiter part. The second
limiter part has at least one limit diode whose threshold voltage is
lower than that of elements in the first limiter part. Accordingly, if an
overvoltage is input, the limiter can maximize the input current drop so
that the limiter can maximize the leakage voltage. As a result, the RFID
tag can prevent the RFID driving part from being damaged due to the
overvoltage. In addition, the RFID tag can normally operate regardless of
the intensity of the driving voltage input from the RFID reader, so that
the yields of products can improve.
