Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a supply voltage generator for rectifying a signal received by an antenna coil and generating a supply voltage set at a predetermined voltage by a regulator, and a demodulator. The demodulator includes a demodulation circuit for demodulating an input signal and outputting the demodulated input signal, a resistor whose one end is connected to one end of the antenna coil, a diode whose anode is connected to the other end of the resistor and whose cathode is connected to a node located to the input end of the demodulation circuit, a first capacitance connected between a node at which the resistor and the diode are connected to each other and a grounding conductor, and a second capacitance connected between a node at which the diode and the demodulation circuit are connected to each other and a grounding conductor.

Claims (22)

1. A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising:

a supply voltage generator for rectifying a signal received by an antenna coil and generating a supply voltage set at a predetermined voltage by a regulator; and

a demodulator,

wherein the demodulator comprises:
