Abstract
The invention relates to a device for detecting a voltage drop between an anode connection and a cathode connection, comprising: a control capacitor, of which the first electrode is connected to the anode connection and the second electrode is connected to the cathode connection; a measuring device, which is designed to output a discharge signal depending on a potential difference detected between the anode connection and the cathode connection and a first threshold value for the potential difference on a discharge control line; a discharge circuit which is connected to the discharge control line and is designed to discharge the control capacitor depending on the discharge signal; and a control device, which is designed to detect the voltage drop by evaluating the state of charge of the control capacitor.
