Abstract

A voltage generator configuration includes a voltage generator which generates a second voltage from a first voltage using a reference voltage and which can be deactivated by using a deactivation signal. The voltage generator configuration is distinguished in that the deactivation signal is fed to the voltage generator over a line through which the reference voltage is also fed to the voltage generator.
