Abstract
A voltage supply circuit for providing an internal supply voltage in an integrated circuit is provided. The voltage supply circuit comprises a supply source for setting the internal supply voltage on a supply voltage line and a control circuit which is connected to the supply source for switching on and off the supply source. The control circuit can itself be switched off and regularly switched on again, wherein the control circuit includes a control unit in order to switch the supply source on and off in such a way that the internal supply voltage on the supply voltage line differs essentially by no more than a limit value as a result of capacitive charge storage.
