Abstract:
A smart card may include data storage and transmission circuitry, a plurality of voltage controllers to supply operational power to card circuitry, a plurality of oscillators to supply an internal clock for the card, and power management circuitry. The power management circuitry may be configured to shut down the oscillators and at least one, but not all, voltage controllers during a period after a data transmission is completed.

Abstract:
An operational amplifying circuit are provided. The operational amplifying circuit includes a control circuit, pull-up and pull-down transistors, first and second bias circuits, and a bias voltage generating circuit. The control circuit includes first and second input terminals, and is configured to change, when an input voltage transitions to a first level, a voltage level of a pull-up node and a pull-down node to a second level different from the first level. The pull-up transistor provides a power supply voltage to the output terminal. The pull-down transistor connects the output terminal to a ground voltage. The first bias circuit provides a first bias current to the control circuit. The bias voltage generating circuit generates a bias voltage when the voltage level of at least one of the pull-up and pull-down nodes reaches a threshold voltage level, and the second bias circuit provides a second bias current to the control circuit.
