Abstract

To measure the current consumption of a circuit device with a current measuring device, the circuit device being supplied by a current/voltage supply line device, as simply as possible without the need for additional measuring devices, an integrated circuit configuration includes integrating the circuit configuration, the current measuring device, and, also, the current/voltage supply line device in a common chip and forming the current measuring device with a Hall sensor device.
