Abstract

A digital communication system user, via which a first logic signal and a second logic signal are transmitted, includes an activation circuit that includes encompassing a supply unit, a switching unit, a transmission unit, and a communication interface. The supply unit provides an internal supply voltage, the switching unit couples the supply unit to the transmission unit to supply the transmission unit with the internal supply voltage, and the transmission unit outputs a wake-up signal, which includes the first logic signal, to the communication interface in response to being supplied with the internal supply voltage by the supply unit, and subsequently continuously outputs the second logic signal to the communication interface until the switching unit separates the transmission unit from the supply unit by.
