A radio frequency identification, RFID, transponder, comprising:
- at least one functional component configured to perform a function of the RFID transponder;
- a charge pump configured to supply an output voltage to said functional component, wherein said charge pump comprises a plurality of charge pump stages;
- a charge pump controller configured to control a number of charge pump stages which contribute to the output voltage.
A method of operating a radio frequency identification, RFID, transponder, comprising:
- controlling, by a charge pump controller of the RFID transponder, a number of charge pump stages which contribute to an output voltage of a charge pump;
- supplying, by the charge pump, the output voltage to at least one functional component of the RFID transponder;
- performing, by the functional component, a function of the RFID transponder.
