    Abstract: An integrated circuit, includes: an input configured to receive an induced signal that is modulated according to a protocol belonging to the group including protocols using ASK modulation and protocols using OOK modulation; a detection circuit configured to detect the modulation of the induced signal; a decoding circuit configured to detect the protocol; a configurable limiter configured to limit a level of the induced signal and having a first configuration adapted to protocols using ASK modulation and a second configuration adapted to protocols using OOK modulation; and a control circuit configured to set the limiter in the first configuration until a protocol is detected, and to switch the limiter from the first configuration to the second configuration in response to a protocol using OOK modulation being detected.

    Abstract: A method of wireless communication includes transmitting frames from a transponder to a reader and synchronizing between a reader carrier frequency and an active load modulation (ALM) carrier frequency within each transmitted frame. Each transmitted frame includes ALM carrier bursts generated from subcarrier modulation by binary phase shift keying (BPSK) data encoding and producing signal oscillations at a transponder antenna after each ALM carrier burst generation, The synchronizing occurs at each phase change of the data encoding when no burst is generated during a half period of the subcarrier preceding the phase change and a half period of the subcarrier following this phase change. The transponder antenna has a moderate quality factor sufficient to naturally damp the signal oscillations so that the synchronizing is performed without performing any controlled signal oscillations damping.
