Abstract
An electronic circuit includes an electronic switch having a control terminal and a load path and also includes a monitoring circuit comprising a switched-capacitor circuit with at least one capacitive storage element. The switched-capacitor circuit coupled to the load path of the electronic switch. The circuit can be operated by using the monitoring circuit to evaluate a load voltage of the electronic switch and to generate a failure signal dependent on the evaluation and providing a drive signal at the control terminal of the electronic switch dependent on the failure signal.
