ABSTRACT:
In an overcurrent protection circuit, when a control section turns on a switch in response to a signal from a microcomputer so that power is supplied from a power source to an IC card, a signal controlling section prevents the overcurrent protection circuit from functioning even if a current greater than a predetermined level is detected by a current detecting section, until a voltage of the IC card is stabilized. When the control section turns off the switch in response to a signal from the microcomputer, the power supply from the power source to the IC card is stopped, thereby preventing a malfunction of the overcurrent protection circuit, even if the microcomputer goes out of control or malfunctions.
