Claim:
1. A circuit configured to be executed in a predeterminable operating mode of a plurality of operating modes, the circuit comprising: a first functional unit; a second functional unit; wherein the first functional unit is configured as a static functional unit configured, in each of the plurality of operating modes of the circuit, to carry out a consistent function; wherein the second functional unit is configured as an adaptable functional unit configured, prior to the circuit being put into service, according to a first configuration of a plurality of different configurations; wherein the second functional unit is configured, during the operating time of the circuit, to maintain the first configuration so that the first configuration of the second functional unit defines the predeterminable operating mode of the circuit; and wherein the static functional unit is configured to carry out the same function in each of the plurality of operating modes of the circuit; wherein the adaptable functional unit is configured to carry out a different function in each of the plurality of operating modes of the circuit; wherein the circuit is configured to enable distinguishing between static functions and dynamic functions and to determine which of the dynamic functions are known and already verified and which are not known and not verified yet; and wherein the circuit enables verification of only those dynamic functions which are not known.
