Abstract
A control circuit for a control unit, which is located in a vehicle and is configured to be switched between an energy-saving state that has a limited range of functions and a normal operational state depending on an output voltage received from the control circuit (), includes a field-effector transistor. The field-effect transistor is configured to receive a supply voltage. The field-effect transistor is further configured to switch between control states based on a control voltage applied at a gate terminal. The control states are an on-state and an off-state. The field-effect transistor is further configured to provide the output voltage based on the control state of the field-effect transistor.
