Abstract: Provided is a an electronic system (1) comprising a plurality of sub blocks (21, 22, . . . ), a differential amplifier (3), a voltage regulation loop comprising a first transistor (40) and a variable resistor (5), and a plurality of additional transistors (41, 42, . . . ). The input reference voltage (VRF) and the variable resistor are configured such that a first sub block (21) is supplied with its required power supply output voltage (VDD1) by the transistor to which it is connected. The amplifier is configured to output on each of its outputs a power supply reference voltage (VG1, VG2 . . . ) such that each sub block (22, . . . ) other than the first sub block is supplied with its required power supply output voltage (VDD2 . . . ) by the transistor to which it is connected.

Abstract: Provided is a contactless electronic system configured for contactless communications with a reader over an electromagnetic field and comprising a power supply, a current monitor, a processing system comprising a hardware processor configured for performing operations, a dynamic extra current loader and a clock generator. The current monitor is configured for determining maximal current Imax that can be provided by the power supply to the processing system from the electromagnetic field, and is configured for comparing, during an execution phase of said hardware processor, said determined maximal current Imax and a current drawn by the processing system.
