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 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.

- 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.

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.
