A data processing apparatus and card-sized data processing device that consume
less power and operate more reliably. An antenna captures a radio wave sent from
an external reader/writer device, and a receiver converts it into an electrical
signal. From this electrical signal, a first power supply circuit produces a first
supply voltage for use in analog circuits. A second power supply circuit produces
a second supply voltage that is different from the first supply voltage, for use
in memory circuits. A third power supply circuit produces a third supply voltage
that is different from the other voltages, for use in digital circuits. The memory
and digital circuits thus operate with different supply voltages optimized for
their individual requirements. Total power consumption of the device is reduced
by lowering the voltage for the digital circuits, including MPU, while giving a
higher voltage to the memory circuits.
