Patent ID: 7021551

Claim:
A data carrier that is arranged to receive a signal in a non-contacting manner and that has an electrical circuit, to which circuit the signal can be fed and which circuit is arranged to generate a supply voltage for parts of the circuit by using the signal, which circuit comprises storage means that are arranged to store information capacitively, the information being represented by a value of an information voltage arising at the storage means, which value of the information voltage is at most equal to the value of the supply voltage, and which circuit has evaluation means to which the information voltage can be fed and that are arranged to evaluate the information voltage, with the help of a comparison voltage, for the information represented by the information voltage, characterized in that comparison-voltage generating means that are arranged to generate and emit the comparison voltage are implemented separately from the evaluation means, and in that the evaluation means are ranged to receive the comparison voltage from the comparison-voltage generating means.
