Abstract:
1. An electronic component operable with an AC voltage, the electric component comprising: at least one input; at least one output; and a pair of functionally identical electronic sub-components, wherein the functionally identical electronic sub-components are connected in parallel; wherein the at least one input of the electronic component is connected to a respective input of the two functionally identical electronic sub-components; wherein the at least one output of the electronic component is connected to a respective output of the two functionally identical electronic sub-components; and wherein the electronic component is configured such that at the at least one output only one output signal of a first sub-component of the pair of functionally identical electronic sub-components can be picked up during a first half-wave of an AC voltage, whereas only one output signal of the second sub-component of the pair of functionally identical electronic sub-components can be picked up during a second half-wave of the AC voltage.
