Abstract
The described program controlled unit has first supply voltage connections for applying a first supply voltage to the program controlled unit and second supply voltage connections for applying a second supply voltage to the program controlled unit. The full OCDS module or a part of the OCDS module is supplied with power by the second supply voltage. The remaining components of the program controlled unit are supplied with power by the first supply voltage. This means that the entire OCDS module or part of the OCDS module can actually be supplied with power, before the time at which the remaining parts of the program controlled unit are supplied with power. A debugger supplies the OCDS module with control information that prescribes a particular state of the OCDS module.
