Abstract

An electronic system includes a plurality of switching elements (T) and a plurality of energy storage elements (L; C). The energy storage elements (L; C) are connected to one another by the switching elements (T). The energy storage elements (L; C) can be selectively switched to a first, a second or a third state by switching the switching elements (T). In the first state, the energy storage elements (L; C) are connected in series with one another. In the second state, the energy storage elements (L; C) are connected in parallel with one another. In the third state, the energy storage elements (L; C) are bypassed, wherein two of the energy storage elements (L; C) are each connected by no more than three of the switching elements (T).
