Abstract
A circuit arrangement, a semiconductor module, an electrical system, and a method for optically outputting information using a MOSFET. The circuit arrangement includes a MOSFET with an optical interface and a gate control circuit. The optical interface is configured to guide light, generated by an inverse diode of the MOSFET, into surroundings of the MOSFET. The gate control circuit is configured to receive an input signal representing information to be output using the circuit arrangement, and to generate from the input signal an output signal representing the information to be output. The gate control circuit varies the gate-source voltage of the MOSFET in a reverse mode of the MOSFET based on the output signal to vary a light emission of the inverse diode of the MOSFET in a corresponding manner, so that an output of the information to be output takes place via the optical interface of the MOSFET.
