Abstract

An electrical component is proposed that has at least one voltage divider that can be read out using an evaluation unit to identify the electrical component by means of a voltage measurement. An evaluation unit is first connected to the electrical component, and a voltage measurement is carried out and converted by way of an analog-digital converter into a digital code with which the electrical component can be identified. This identification can be output via a data output to an electrical device.
