Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement with an integrated circuit and a voltage regulating circuit which provides a regulated voltage for operating the circuit arrangement.
- Circuit arrangements are made up of electrical and / or electronic components and integrated circuits on an insulating circuit board. The connections between the components and circuits are made via conductor tracks.
- the energy required to operate the circuit arrangement is supplied in the form of a supply voltage.
- the amount of the supply voltage must be in a certain range. If an available voltage is unsuitable as a supply voltage due to excessive voltage fluctuations, a constant supply voltage can be obtained with a voltage control loop.
- Voltage control loops are discrete components that provide an almost constant output voltage from an input voltage that can be in a certain range, largely independent of the load at the output of the voltage control loop.
- the voltage control loop generates, for example, the constant supply voltage from the available, fluctuating voltage, which is necessary for the proper operation of the
- the voltage control loop is housed next to the other discrete components and the integrated circuits on the board.
- circuit arrangement An example of such a circuit arrangement is a
- the adapter for a personal computer with a universal interface (USB interface, Universal Serial Bus), which is available under the name "Siemens I-Serve USB”.
- the adapter contains a circuit board on which, in addition to some integrated circuits and discrete components, some of which are designed using SMD technology (Surface Mounted Device), there is a voltage control circuit. This in turn comprises several components and circuits and forms its own functional unit. It is connected to the other components via conductor tracks.
- the voltage control loop contains, for example, the voltage to be controlled via the serial bus. Fitting the circuit board with the components of the voltage control loop requires additional time. A larger area must be provided on the circuit board to accommodate the voltage control loop. This causes additional costs.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a circuit arrangement with an integrated circuit and voltage regulating circuit which takes up less space than known generic circuit arrangements and which requires less effort when mounting circuit boards.
- the invention has the advantage that the circuit arrangement can be accommodated in a smaller area. When mounting, for example on a circuit board, fewer components need to be attached and contacted. The effort in designing the topographies is reduced.
- an internal connection between the circuit and the voltage control loop is provided.
- the internal connection like the two circles, is also integrated on the carrier material.
- the voltage regulating circuit is additionally connected to a connection which is accessible outside the circuit arrangement. This allows the supply voltage to both the circuit as well as other circuit arrangements that are independent of the circuit arrangement.
- the voltage control circuit there is no internal connection between the voltage control circuit and the circuit.
- the supply voltage is supplied to the circuit from outside. It does not necessarily have to come from the voltage control loop itself, but can also be provided by an external voltage source. A switch is preferably provided for this purpose, with which the selection is made from the voltage control loop and the external voltage source.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment with an internal connection between the integrated circuit and the voltage regulating circuit
- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment with an internal connection

- the supply voltage V supplied by the main unit 4 via the data bus 3 is supplied to the voltage control circuit 2.
- This generates a regulated supply voltage VG, which is largely constant even with fluctuations in the supply voltage VDD, VSS.
- Regulation of the supply voltage is generally necessary when the supply voltage V supplied by the main device 4 is subject to fluctuations that are too great for the circuit arrangement to operate properly.
- Both the circuit 1 and the voltage control circuit 2 are integrated on a carrier material.
- a suitable substrate material is, for example, a semiconductor substrate on which all components of the circuit 1 and the voltage control circuit 2 are realized in a uniform technological process and are connected to form the desired circuits.
- the components can also be applied to a glass or ceramic substrate.
- the circles 1 and 2 form a unit and are housed in a housing, for example.
- An electrical connection can exist between the circuit 1 and the voltage regulator 2. Circles 1 and 2 can, however, also be electrically separated from one another. Any connections and outputs of the circuit 1 that may be present are not shown in FIG. 1.

- the voltage regulator 2 there contains a voltage connection 6, from which the regulated supply voltage VG can be taken.
- the voltage connection 6 is led out of the carrier material of the voltage regulator 2. Even if the circuit arrangement is accommodated in a housing, the voltage connection 6 is accessible outside the circuit arrangement.
- An additional device 7, for whose operation a regulated supply voltage VG is also required, can be connected via the voltage connection 6.
- the voltage control circuit 2 supplies both the circuit 1 and the additional device 7 with the regulated supply voltage
- the additional device 7 is not integrated on the carrier material. It is an independent device that can be operated without the circuitry.
- Supply voltage VG is not supplied to circuit 1 within the circuit arrangement.
- the circuit 1 is supplied via an external connecting line 9 which is connected to the voltage connection 6. Due to the insulation 8, the regulated supply voltage of the voltage control circuit 2 can only be taken from the voltage connection. This can be made up of several connections put.
- the outer connecting line 9 is connected to supply connections 10 in addition to the voltage connection 6.
- the supply connections 10 are electrically connected to the circuit 1.
- the circuit 1 is supplied with the voltage necessary for its operation.
- the insulation 8 must be such that the regulated supply voltage VG, if no connecting line 9 is connected to the voltage connection 6, does not affect the circuit 1.
- Circuit 1 and the voltage control circuit 2 may still be possible.
- the auxiliary device 7 in addition to the outer connecting line 9, the auxiliary device 7, as is present in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, can also be connected to the voltage connection 6.

- the additional device 7 can be provided, which is connected to the outer connecting line 9 that when the first switch 11 is closed, it is supplied with the regulated supply voltage VG.
- the outer connecting line 9 is connected to an external voltage source 13 via a second switch 12.
- the two switches 11, 12 are designed so that only one of the switches can be closed at a time. If the first switch 11 is open, the second switch 12 is closed. If the second switch 12 is open, the first switch 11 is closed. This switching condition can be achieved, for example, by an appropriate mechanism or a suitable electronic control.
- the circuit 1 and, if present, the auxiliary device 7 can optionally be supplied by the voltage control circuit 2 or the external voltage source 13.
- the external voltage source 13 also generates the regulated supply voltage VG. It is not integrated on the carrier material and is connected to the outer connecting line 9, for example, via a connecting line.
- the supply via the external voltage source 13 can be provided, for example, when the power made available via the data bus 3 is not sufficient to operate the circuit 1.
- the circuit 1 can also be operated if the voltage control circuit 2 is defective.
- the circuit arrangement can in particular be implemented with a circuit for telecommunication purposes, such as ISDN adapters (Integrated Services Digital Network).
- ISDN adapters Integrated Services Digital Network
