Abstract
A circuit design for a circuit for switching currents is disclosed, comprising at least one switch element (T. . . Tn, T' . . . Tn′), and at least one respective main current conductor (D, S, A) for interlinking the switch element, the poles (V+, GND) of a current source and an energy accumulator (C). The aim of the invention is to reduce ohmic resistance and inductive resistance of such a circuit. To this end, an ancillary current conductor (D, S, A) that has a lower current carrying capacity than the main current conductor is connected in parallel to at least one of the main current conductors (D, S, A).
