Abstract

An RF receiver or another type of electronic circuit contains circuit elements a setting of which is controlled by at least one control voltage. Furthermore, a control unit is provided for switching off the circuit elements during power-off periods. While the circuit elements are switched off, the control voltage is stored in storage capacitors, which allows to start the circuit up quickly after a switch-off period.
