Circuit Arrangement For Voltage-Controlled Power Supply Of An Electrical Consumer In A Vehicle, And Use Of Such A Circuit Arrangement

A circuit arrangement for supplying power to an electrical consumer in a vehicle is provided. The circuit arrangement includes a voltage regulator component having an input terminal for inputting an input voltage, an output terminal for outputting an output voltage to the consumer, and a feedback terminal for inputting a feedback voltage that uses the voltage regulator component for regulating the output voltage. The circuit arrangement also includes an output line running from the output terminal to the consumer, and a feedback circuit connected to a circuit node of the output line and to the feedback terminal. To protect the output connection from a short-circuit-induced overvoltage, a semiconductor component arranged in a portion of the output line between the output terminal and the circuit node is provided.
