Patent ID: 8754663

Claim:
A circuit for simulating an electrical load at a terminal of a test circuit, the test circuit having at least one first switch and at least one second switch, the circuit comprising: a third switch connected to the at least one first switch of the test circuit via a first external connection point; a fourth switch connected to the at least one second switch of the test circuit via a second external connection point, the at least one first switch and the at least one second switch being connected via a shared, first internal connection point to the terminal of the test circuit and the third switch and the fourth switch being connected via a shared, second internal connection point such that that the at least one first switch, the at least one second switch, the third switch and the fourth switch form an H-bridge circuit; a voltage source configured to provide the first external connection point and the second external connection point with a supply voltage; a controllable voltage source connected in a transverse bridge branch between the terminal and the second internal connection point; an inductance active in the transverse bridge branch; and a current-control unit operable on the controllable voltage source so as to adjust, to a predetermined setpoint current, an actual current flowing over the terminal of the test circuit and over the transverse bridge branch.
