Abstract
Some embodiments are directed towards an electric switching device including a first conductor path and a second conductor path, a first semiconductor circuit arrangement with a first—normally-off—semiconductor in the first conductor path, a first control and driver unit for driving the first semiconductor circuit arrangement and connected to the first conductor path and the second conductor path. It is suggested that the first semiconductor circuit arrangement can include a second semiconductor, that the second semiconductor is connected parallel to the first semiconductor, that the second semiconductor is a normally-on semiconductor, that the first semiconductor circuit arrangement includes a second control and driver unit configured to drive the second semiconductor with control signals. The second control and driver unit is connected parallel to the second semiconductor.
