Abstract

An integrated circuit device (2) designed to be incorporated in a portable object with memory, in particular of card format. The integrated circuit device (2) comprises at least a capacitor (8) for attenuating-the amplitude of current peaks (Idd) consumed by the integrated circuit device (2). The attenuation of such current peaks is particularly useful for attenuating electric signatures in smart cards.
