A nonvolatile memory is accessed by a memory control circuit and stores
temperature information indicating a temperature measured by a
temperature sensor. A power supply control circuit supplies a first power
supply voltage to the temperature sensor in response to a request for
temperature measurement received via an antenna, and supplies a second
power supply voltage to the nonvolatile memory and the memory control
circuit after the temperature sensor measures the temperature. While the
temperature sensor is measuring the temperature, the nonvolatile memory
and the memory control circuit do not operate and thus do not generate
heat. Therefore, the temperature sensor can accurately measure the
temperature without being influenced from the heat generation caused by
the operation of circuits in an RFID transponder.
