Abstract
A contactless IC card having an antenna, a transmit/receive circuit for recovering data (clock) and electric power from a carrier signal received by the antenna, a logic circuit operated with the electric power supplied thereto from the transmit/receive circuit, and a memory. The transmit/receive circuit has a rectifier circuit for outputting data (clock) and rectifier circuits for electric power in such a manner that the carrier signal is inputted to each of the rectifier circuit for outputting data (clock) and the rectifier circuit for electric power. With this configuration, high frequency matching can be optimized separately for the rectifier circuit for outputting data (clock) and the rectifier circuit for electric power. It is also possible to separately optimize adjustments to a voltage of recovered data (clock) and a recovered supply voltage.
