Abstract

According to various embodiments, a circuit arrangement is described that has a plurality of components requiring a supply. Each component requiring a supply is set up to output a signal that indicates a subsequent power requirement of the component requiring a supply. The circuit arrangement further has a control device that is set up to take the signals as a basis for ascertaining a value that represents a subsequent power requirement of the plurality of components requiring a supply, to ascertain whether the value satisfies a prescribed criterion, and to control the operation of the components requiring a supply on the basis of whether the value satisfies the prescribed criterion.
