Abstract:
1. A half-bridge circuit, in which an input signal that is applied between two input terminals can be tapped off at a phase output, comprising: two switching transistors which can be driven via a respective drive signal that is applied between a control electrode and an auxiliary electrode, and two diodes, wherein the first input terminal being coupled with a first electrode of the first switching transistor and with a cathode of the first diode, a second electrode of the first switching transistor being connected via a first line to the anode of the first diode which is connected via a second line with the phase output, and being coupled with a first electrode of the second switching transistor and with a cathode of the second diode, a second electrode of the second switching transistor being coupled with an anode of the second diode and with the second input terminal, and wherein the auxiliary electrode is directly connected with the anode of the first diode at a node between the first and second line.
