Abstract

Disclosed is a method for operating a controller as a bus participant in a bus network, wherein the controller comprises a microcontroller comprising a processor unit and a bus controller cell, and the processor unit is stopped for a sleep mode. If the processor unit is stopped, the bus controller cell receives bus messages from the bus network, the bus controller cell stores at least some of the received bus messages in a memory, the processor unit is activated at predetermined times and checks whether the memory contains a wake-up message for the controller, and, in this case, the controller changes from the sleep mode to a wake mode, and otherwise the processor unit is stopped again.
