Abstract
In a method for avoiding transients during switching processes in integrated circuits, a module of the integrated circuit is switched from a first operating state to a second operating state, a load change occurring thereby. In this case, it is ensured that the occurring quotient of load change and time duration for the transition from the first operating state to the second operating state does not exceed a predetermined limit value, thereby reducing or avoiding transients associated with such switching.
