Abstract: A circuit arrangement is provided comprising a first partial circuit to receive a supply voltage, a second partial circuit to receive an output signal of the first partial circuit and a first clock signal, the second partial circuit to store the output signal of the first partial circuit depending on the first clock signal, and a control unit to decouple the supply voltage from the first partial circuit for a time period that is shorter than a cycle duration of the first clock signal, wherein the control unit is configured to receive a second clock signal which is derived from the first clock signal by delaying.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a circuit. The circuit includes a switching unit configured to connect or disconnect a voltage domain to a supply voltage input. The switching unit includes a first switch, a second switch and a third switch. The circuit includes a control signal input configured to receive a switch control signal. The circuit includes a signal distribution unit that is configured to output the switch control signal to the first switch delayed by a first time interval and to output the switch control signal to the second switch and to the third switch delayed by a second time interval.

Abstract: In a processor system, different memory means (8), which can in each case comprise a memory stack (9) for the instruction counter, a register (10) for temporarily storing data and status register (11), are provided for various tasks. When an interrupt event (EV) occurs which causes a change from a current task to a new task, a controller (21) switches from the memory means (8) allocated to the old task to the memory means (8) allocated to the new task.
