Abstract
A method determines a temperature of at least one electronic switching element by way of a temperature measuring circuit. A first electronic switching element in an electronic module is first of all turned off and a second electronic switching element in the electronic module is turned on. A voltage measuring unit is then coupled to the electronic module and a voltage drop across the second electronic switching element is measured. A current intensity of a current flowing through the second electronic switching element is also determined and the temperature of the second electronic switching element is determined with the inclusion of the measured voltage drop and the determined current intensity. An electronic assembly for determining a temperature of at least one electronic switching element is also described.
