Abstract
The invention relates to a method for reducing the current consumption of an electronic circuit having at least one test module for testing the electronic circuit. The test module is connected to at least one line and/or a connection of the electronic circuit. A test control signal is generated, by means of which the test module is at least partially decoupled from the line or the connection in an operating mode of the electronic circuit such that switching currents are prevented in the test module.
