Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, at least one switching circuit includes a voltage clamping element, and a half-bridge with a high-side switch and a low side-switch, wherein the high-side switch and the low-side switch each comprise a control node and a load path, and wherein the load paths of the high-side switch and the low side switch are connected in series. The voltage clamping element is connected in parallel with the half-bridge such that a first overall inductance of first conductors connecting the high-side switch and the low-side switch and connecting the voltage clamping element with the half-bridge is less than 20 nH.
