Abstract
The invention relates to a microprocessor ( ) comprising a counter (TMR) to measure a time interval as a function of a counting instruction value (VAL) and a counting clock signal (H ). According to the invention, the microprocessor ( ) comprises wired logic detection means (EVTDET) for the detection of at least one awaited event (E , E , E ), these means being arranged for the immediate application of a signal (LOAD) for the loading of a counting instructed value (VAL , VAL ) to said counter when the awaited event takes place. Application especially to the management of a transmission of asynchronous data at a high bit rate in contactless chip cards.
