Abstract
A method for operating an electronic module which includes at least three semiconductor elements is disclosed. In the event of a defect of one of the semiconductor elements, by targeted control of at least two of the other semiconductor elements, a current is conducted via the defective semiconductor element in order to destroy or disconnect the defective semiconductor element or a weak point associated with the defective semiconductor element. This current is distributed to the semiconductor elements which are controlled in a targeted manner.
