Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit includes a first transistor device, a second transistor device, and a third transistor device, each having a control node and a load path. The electronic circuit further includes a drive circuit. The load paths of the first and second transistor devices are connected in parallel, the load path of the third transistor device is connected in series with the load paths of the first and second transistor devices, and the first transistor device and the second transistor device are integrated in a common semiconductor body. The drive circuit is configured, based on a control signal, to successively switch on the first transistor device and the second transistor device, so that the second transistor device is switched on when the first transistor device is in an on-state.
