A circuit configuration has a transmitter unit connected to a first signal line and a receiver unit connected to a second signal line and is coupled to the transmission unit via a third signal line and a control line. The transmission unit receives and transmits a first bit group to be transmitted and a subsequent, second bit group to be transmitted. The transmission unit respectively identifies a signal state change between bits in the transmitted first bit group and corresponding bits in the received second bit group and determines the number of signal state changes. On the basis of the number thereof, the transmission unit transmits the second bit group to the receiver unit in unaltered or altered form, with altered transmission being indicated by a control signal. By influencing the number of charge reversal operations during signal transmission, the circuit configuration permits an overall reduction in current drawn.
