Abstract
A circuit arrangement is described, to which the vehicle electric system supply voltage is applied and which for briefly maintaining at least one internal normal d.c. voltage in the event of failure of the vehicle electric system supply voltage includes an reserve energy accumulator to which a charging voltage higher than the at least one internal normal d.c. voltage is applied in regular operation and which in the event of failure of the vehicle electric system supply voltage delivers a reserve voltage with which operation of at least some electronic circuits may be maintained for a limited period of time, and it includes at least one step-down regulator which steps down the applied input direct voltage to the at least one internal normal d.c. voltage. In regular operation the supply direct voltage is applied directly as a charging voltage to the reserve energy accumulator and is also applied as the input direct voltage to the step-down regulator.

10. A circuit arrangement to which a motor vehicle electric system supply voltage is applied and for briefly maintaining at least one internal normal d.c. voltage for electronic circuits in the event of failure of the motor vehicle electric system supply voltage, comprising:
-
a reserve energy accumulator to which a charging voltage higher than the at least one internal normal d.c. voltage is applied during regular operation and which, in the event of failure of the motor vehicle electric system supply voltage, delivers a reserve voltage with which operation of at least one of the electronic circuits can be maintained for a period of time; and
at least one step-down regulator that steps down an input direct voltage applied to thereto to the at least one internal normal d.c. voltage, wherein in regular operation the motor vehicle electric supply voltage is applied directly as a charging voltage to the reserve storage energy accumulator and is applied as an input direct voltage to the step-down regulator. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
