Abstract
An electronic switching device includes at least one first and one second semiconductor component, with a first anode connection and a second cathode connection being short-circuited. A control voltage that can be applied to a first grid connection is also at least partially present at a second grid connection. This reduces the forward resistance of the electronic switching device in the switched-on state.
