Abstract
The present invention comprises a power transmission system, an IC card, and an information communication system using an IC card. In the power transmission system, power is transmitted by radio from the power transmission device to the IC card. In the IC card, the transmitted induced power is converted into a DC voltage, the transmitted induced power or a voltage corresponding to the induced power is detected, and a desired DC voltage to be suppled to the internal circuit is obtained in controlling resistance the detected induced power or the voltage corresponding to the induced power.
