ABSTRACT:
Contactless inductive power transfer from a stationary "reader" to energize the electronics on a portable data or "smart" card is made practical through a flexible inductor carried on the card. The inductor, which acts as the secondary portion of a power transformer, comprises a flat coil and a flexible magnetic but nonmagnetostrictive core piece. The core piece may be a thin wafer of amorphous magnetic alloy. Clock pulses to synchronize data transfer on the card with the reader can also be generated from the signal picked up by the inductor.
