Abstract
A method for the operating point-dependent actuation of a topological semiconductor switch for a power electronics system is proposed, in which the topological semiconductor switch is divided into at least two groups of power semiconductors made of different semiconductor materials and/or types of semiconductors. A switching threshold is also defined, at which switching from one group to another group, or adding at least one other group to the active group of topological semiconductor switches, takes place in order to conduct the output electricity. Furthermore, data for at least one physical value that describes the operating state of the system is obtained as input data and averaged. It is determined on the basis of this data and the switching threshold, which of the at least two groups of power semiconductors are actuated to conduct the output electricity.
