A data card which can be resiliently flexed to a degree. The data card includes a laminated structure member having at least a synthetic resin protective layer and a ferromagnetic material layer, an electric circuit device embedded in the laminated structure member and an electro-magnetic transducer having a pair of coils which are formed on the laminated structure member. The pair of coils are coupled to the electric circuit device for generating magnetic fluxes of opposite directions with each other according to an information signal applied from the electric circuit device. Alternatively, the pair of coils are provided for receiving magnetic fluxes of opposite directions with each other and coupled to the electric circuit device for applying an electric signal generated by the magnetic fluxes of opposite directions thereto.

Data card with inductive signal transfer device

An IC element is incorporated in a card substrate, and includes at least a memory in which data can be stored and from which it can be read out. A pre-processing section is incorporated in the card substrate, to receive an output from the IC element. The pre-processing section pre-enhances readout data from the memory of the IC element, so as to substantially attenuate high-frequency components of the data. A transducer is incorporated in the card substrate to receive an output from the pre-processing section. The transducer generates a magnetic field corresponding to the data read out from the memory of the IC element and supplied via the pre-processing section.
