ABSTRACT:
A carrier element for an IC module for incorporation into data carriers, in which the IC module is connectd with contact surfaces by means of leads, and the contact surfaces are designed for direct contacting.
In order to protect the Integrated Circuit against destruction due to static charges, measures are provided to dissipate outside the circuit any portions of charge that may occur. In one embodiment, all terminals of the circuit have a low resistance connection with each other. The connection is suspended during each operational phase and is then restored. In a further embodiment, the terminals are bridged by spark gaps. This protective step is advantageous in that it is not necessary to remove and then restore the bridging.
