Abstract
The electrical circuit includes a plurality of circuit components which are connected via a bus. At least one of the circuit components can be tested independently of the other circuit components. The circuit component which is to be tested and the method for testing the circuit component are distinguished in that steps are taken to ensure that, during testing, the circuit component which is tested, outputs no data to the bus, and/or instead of the data which would need to be output to the bus during normal operation, outputs other data to the bus.
