A DC-DC converter includes an output-side storage capacitor arrangement which has a parallel circuit formed of an electrolytic capacitor, a ceramic capacitor and a circuit arrangement. The circuit arrangement has a series circuit formed of a hybrid electrolytic capacitor and a suppressor diode as well as a resistance connected in parallel with the hybrid electrolytic capacitor.

An electronic module with reduced electromagnetic interference radiation includes a multilayer printed circuit board having an electrically conductive outer layer and at least one electrically conductive inner layer, an electronic component, a heat sink and a plurality of thermal plated-through holes. The electronic component is disposed on and electrically connected to the outer layer. The heat sink is thermally connected to the multilayer printed circuit board by an electrical insulation layer. Heat generated during operation of the electronic component can be dissipated to the heat sink through the plurality of thermal plated-through holes. The plurality of thermal plated-through holes do not have an electrical connection to the outer layer.

A method for driving an inductive actuator having an actuating element and an actuator coil, includes initially acting on the actuator coil with a voltage having a first value in order to move the actuating element counter to a spring force and acting on the actuator coil with a voltage having a greater, second value at the beginning of the movement of the actuating element. The second voltage value is selected in dependence on how quickly the actuating element is intended to be moved.
