device with a memory for storing information about intermediate states

摘要

A data carrier ( 2 ) or an integrated circuit ( 41 ) for a data carrier ( 2 ) comprises a memory ( 54 ) which is designed to store intermediate operating state information (ZS, CI 16 , CI 20 , BRS) significant for an intermediate operating state of the data carrier ( 2 ) or the integrated circuit ( 41 ) and comprises a memory control device ( 51 ), which after the occurrence of information significant for intermediate operating states ensures that this intermediate operating state information is stored in the memory ( 54 ) and comprises a control device ( 51 ), which-after the detection of the non-existence of the supply voltage (V) required for faultless operation during execution of a communication sequence interrupted by this non-existence and the subsequent detection of the re-existence of the supply voltage (V)-ensure that the data carrier ( 2 ) or the integrated circuit ( 41 ) is controlled in an intermediate operating state for which intermediate operating state information (ZS, CI 16 , CI 20 , BRS) stored in the memory ( 54 ) is significant.
