Abstract: In some embodiments, a contactless communication device includes an antenna, and a driving stage having a power supply terminal configured to receive a power supply voltage, where the driving stage is configured to deliver a current to the antenna. The device further includes a monitoring circuit configured to monitor the power transmitted by the antenna. The monitoring circuit is configured, in the presence of a request for a reduction in a current level of transmitted power, to reduce the power supply voltage of the driving stage down to a target value corresponding to a new level of the transmitted power less than the current level.

Abstract: A contactless device includes an impedance matching and filter circuit connected to an antenna and being on the one hand operable for contactlessly communicating with a second device via the antenna, and on the other hand operable for contactlessly charging a rechargeable power supply of a third device via the antenna. A method of control includes modifying the impedance matching and filter circuit of the contactless device depending on whether the contactless device carries out the contactless communication or carries out the contactless charging.

Abstract: An object is capable of contactless communication with a reader by active charge modulation. The object includes an antenna, an impedance matching circuit, a memory, and a controller connected to the antenna through the impedance matching circuit. The antenna, the an impedance matching circuit and the controller together form a resonant circuit having a resonant frequency. The controller is configured to cause the object to transmit, in the absence of a signal received from a reader, a signal at the resonant frequency, to determine a characteristic obtained from the signal uniquely transmitted by the object, and to perform an adjustment of a phase shift within the object based on the characteristic and an indication stored in the memory, the indication linking values of phase shifts with values of the characteristic.
