Patent ID: 7289028

Claim:
A transponder that is arranged far non-contacting communication with a communication station and that has transmission means and that has an integrated circuit with circuit connecting contacts, wherein the transmission means are connected to the circuit connecting contacts and an input voltage can be picked off from said circuit connecting contacts, wherein the integrated circuit has a first circuit section and a second circuit section, wherein the first circuit section is arranged for being supplied with a first supply voltage and the second circuit section is arranged for being supplied with a second supply voltage, wherein first rectifier means and limiter means cooperating with said first rectifier means are provided, wherein a voltage representing the input voltage can be fed to the first rectifier means, wherein the first supply voltage can be picked off from the first rectifier means or from the limiter means, wherein second rectifier means and control means for controlling said second rectifier means are provided, wherein a voltage representing the input voltage can also be fed to the second rectifier means, wherein the second supply voltage can be picked off from the second rectifier means, and wherein the value of the second supply voltage that can be picked off from the second rectifier means can be controlled by the control means.
