Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02069482A1] The invention relates to a circuit design for a circuit for switching currents, comprising at least one switch element (T1...Tn, T1'...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 (D1, S1, A1) 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).
