Abstract

An embodiment device comprises a phase locked loop and a frequency locked loop having in common the same controlled oscillator. The device is firstly placed in the card emulation mode at the beginning of a communication between the contactless communication device and a contactless reader, the firstly placing comprising synchronizing within the contactless device, an ALM carrier frequency with a reader carrier frequency by operating at least the phase locked loop, and upon reception by the contactless communication device of an indication sent by the reader indicating a further communication in a peer to peer mode with the reader, the device is secondly placed in the peer to peer mode, the secondly placing including deactivating the phase locked loop and operating the frequency locked loop with a reference clock signal and a frequency set point depending on the reader carrier frequency and the frequency of the reference clock signal.
