There has been a problem in battryless RFID chips that a high voltage AC
signal is generated when an antenna is exposed to a high electromagnetic
field, and a DC voltage that is obtained through rectification of the AC
signal becomes a high voltage accordingly. As a result, heat generation
of a logic circuit and a clock generator circuit or element break down
occur. The invention takes the following measures: a DC voltage generated
through rectification of an AC signal is compared with a reference
voltage in a comparator circuit, and a switch element is turned ON when
the DC voltage becomes higher so as to add capacitance to an antenna
circuit. Accordingly, resonance point of an antenna changes which in turn
attenuates an AC signal generated in the antenna circuit, thereby
suppressing a DC voltage.
