Abstract
A current source arrangement includes a first current source having a first terminal and a second terminal; a second current source having a first terminal and a second terminal; and a DC/DC converter having a first terminal pair and a second terminal pair. The DC/DC converter is designed to convert a first direct voltage applied at the first terminal pair into a direct voltage output at the second terminal pair, and/or to convert a first direct voltage applied at the second terminal pair into a direct voltage output at the first terminal pair. The first terminal pair of the DC/DC converter is connected in parallel to the first current source, wherein the second terminal pair of the DC/DC converter is connected in series to the second current source. The second terminal pair of the DC/DC converter and the second current source are connected in parallel to the first current source.
