1. A method for producing a supply voltage, in particular for digital circuits, in a motor vehicle from a relatively high input voltage of more than 12 volts, in particular from a vehicle power supply system voltage of 42 volts,a) in which an intermediate voltage at a level between the vehicle power supply system voltage and the supply voltage is produced from the vehicle power supply system voltage in a normal mode by means of a DC/DC converter, and b) the supply voltage is produced from the intermediate voltage by means of at least one linear regulator, wherein c) the DC/DC converter is switched off and is bridged by means of a bypass circuit in a parking mode, so that the supply voltage is produced directly by the at least one linear regulator.
