Abstract
A method of switching on a voltage supply of a voltage domain of a semiconductor circuit includes switching, initially, a first switchable element, via which elements of the voltage domain are connected to a supply voltage of the semiconductor circuit, to a conductive state. The method includes switching, after a predetermined period of time, a second switchable element, via which elements of the voltage domain are connected to the supply voltage of the semiconductor circuit, to a conductive state. The driving capacity of the first switchable element is less than the driving capacity of the second switchable element.
