The first supply path includes a first connection point for a first voltage source, one or more first supply points for a safety-relevant load, and a first fuse between the first connection point and the first supply point. The second supply path is electrically coupled to the first supply path and includes a second connection point for a second voltage source, one or more second supply points for the safety-relevant load, and an electronic second fuse coupled between the second connection point and the second supply point. The safety-relevant load is capable of being electrically coupled to both the first and second supply point. Disconnecting elements are provided to isolate a fault in conformity with ASIL B.
