An integrated circuit for a smart card may include a transceiver and a controller for cooperating with the transceiver to receive operating requests from a host device. The controller may perform smart card operations based upon respective operating requests. Moreover, the controller also may cooperate with the transceiver to receive at least one advance request from the host device to indicate that at least one operating request will follow. By way of example, the standby operation may include loading data in at least one buffer, which may be sent to the host device based upon receiving the at least one operating request. Other standby operations may include disabling data transmission to the host device, such as when the communications bus of the host device is preoccupied, and ceasing performing a current smart card operation to allow a higher priority smart card operation to be performed, for example.

The data processing apparatus (and method) has processing circuitry for performing data processing operations in response to data processing instructions, the data processing instructions referencing logical registers. A set of physical registers are provided for storing data values for access by the processing circuitry when performing the data processing operations. Register renaming storage stores a one-to-one mapping between the logical registers and the physical registers, with the register renaming storage being accessed by the processing circuitry when performing the data processing operations in order to map the referenced logical registers to corresponding physical registers. Update circuitry is arranged to identify the physical registers corresponding to those multiple logical registers in the register renaming storage. Altered one-to-one mapping between multiple logical registers and identified physical registers is employed when performing the current data processing operation.
