  • Patent number: 6814295
    Abstract: A data carrier (4) for the transfer of communication data (KD1, KD2) via at least two interface means (11, 12), having first interface means (11) for receiving a first communication signal (KS1), and having second interface means (12) for receiving a second communication signal (KS2), and having processing means (13) to which a first clock signal (TS1) derived from the first communication signal (KS1) or a second clock signal (TS2) derived from the second communication signal (KS2) can be applied for the processing of the transferred communication data (KD1, KD2), and having reset means (21) for resetting the processing by the processing means (13), now includes a first frequency sensor (22) which is adapted to supply first frequency reset information (RI4) to the reset means (21) when a first clock frequency of the first clock signal (TS1) or the frequency (FKS1) of the first communication signal (KS1) lies below a first lower frequency threshold (FU1), and includes a second frequency sensor (23) which is ad

  • Patent number: 6655599
    Abstract: A data carrier (4) for the contactless communication of communication information (KD) with a transmitting/receiving station (1) includes receiving circuit (7) for receiving an HF signal (HF) containing the communication information (KD) from the transmitting/receiving station (1), and processing circuit (10) for processing the received communication information (KD), and supply voltage generating circuit (13) for rectifying the received HF signal (HF) and for energizing the processing circuit (10) with a supply voltage (UV), and reset circuit (14) for resetting, when the supply voltage (UV) decreases below a reset voltage value (UR), the processing performed by the processing circuit (10), the reset circuit (14) now being adapted to interrupt the processing of the communication information (KD) by the processing circuit (10) at least partially when the supply voltage (UV) decreases below an interruption voltage value (UU), the interruption voltage value (UU) being greater than the reset voltage value (UR).
