Abstract
An electronic component includes a first circuit portion having a first supply voltage terminal and a second circuit portion having a second supply voltage terminal. The electronic component includes a first external supply voltage line that supplies the first circuit portion, and a second external supply voltage line that supplies the second circuit portion. The second supply voltage terminal is connected to the second external supply voltage line, and to an electrical connection, which does not run via the first external supply voltage line, between the second external supply voltage line and the first supply voltage terminal. The first circuit portion is isolated from the second circuit portion with respect to high-frequency interference, while electrostatic discharge may propagate via the supply voltage system of the electronic component.
