Contactless communication medium and electronic device using the same

Abstract

A contactless communication medium, includes: a coil sensitive to a magnetic field; a rectifying circuit configured to rectify an alternating power energy generated in the coil; a smoothing circuit configured to smooth a rectified output outputted from the rectifying circuit to generate a DC voltage; an output terminal connected to the smoothing circuit; a voltage detecting circuit configured to compare an output voltage extracted from the output terminal with a reference voltage; a switch configured to operate in response to an output from the voltage detection circuit and to attenuate the alternating power energy generated in the coil when the output voltage reaches a predetermined value; and a load connected to the output terminal, wherein impedance of the load has a value such that the output voltage has a predetermined value when an effective value of the magnetic field applied to the coil is 12 A/m or more.
